WWE 2K24 disappoints fans with Kurt Angle's lower rating than Logan Paul, sparking controversy and calls for rating adjustments.
Despite controversial ratings, WWE 2K24 boasts a large roster with over 200 wrestlers and an iconic Showcase mode celebrating 40 years of Wrestlemania.

Some WWE fans are unhappy with Kurt Angle's WWE 2K24 rating, since it's lower than one of WWE's most controversial superstars from the current roster. Kurt Angle will be playable in WWE 2K24 alongside over 200 wrestlers from WWE's past and present, including John Cena, Shawn Michaels, Triple H, and Roman Reigns.

WWE 2K24 celebrates 40 years of Wrestlemania with a comprehensive Showcase mode highlighting the biggest bouts from the company's annual event. The game will also feature one of the largest rosters in the WWE 2K series to date, with well over 200 wrestlers at launch and more coming in post-launch DLC packs. While fans wait for the game's launch, 2K Games has been revealing ratings for WWE 2K24 wrestlers every few days or so. However, some fans are puzzled by the rating system, since popular wrestlers like Cody Rhodes and Gunther have lower-than-expected scores.

CM Punk wonders if he'll appear in WWE 2K24 as an eventual downloadable playable character due to not being included in the main roster.

Reddit user Even_Farm2151 and fellow WWE fans in the gaming community aren't happy with Kurt Angle's 89 rating in WWE 2K24, with Logan Paul being rated higher at 90. Some users believe the rating is disrespectful to Kurt Angle's run in the WWE, which included iconic WrestleMania matches against Shawn Michaels, Eddie Guerrero, and Brock Lesnar. Other users pointed out that Kurt Angle has a much higher rating in WWE SmackDown vs RAW 2007 at 95, further adding to the community's confusion regarding his current rating. As a result, many fans in the Reddit community want to make a change to the in-game ratings once early access for WWE 2K24 begins to better reflect their expectations of current-day and past WWE talent. Unsurprisingly, this involves raising Kurt Angle's rating past 90, with some fans referencing his "Perc Angle" run in TNA.

WWE Fans Aren't Pleased With Logan Paul's Rating Being Higher Than Kurt Angle's

The rating and roster reveals for WWE 2K24 were controversial in recent weeks, but the game's overall roster looks promising with depth and balance between NXT, RAW, SmackDown, and the many playable legends. Kurt Angle should still be a fan-favorite pick in WWE 2K24 due to his high rating and move-set, which includes the Angle Slam and Ankle Lock submission.

Brock Lesnar and Vince McMahon will not have ratings as playable wrestlers in WWE 2K24, as both have been made unplayable not long after the lawsuit involving the ex-WWE boss was filed in January. Despite their omissions from the playable roster, it's possible that the two may appear in WWE 2K24's Showcase mode.
