WWE 2K24 New Gameplay Features
Sony has introduced several exciting new features in WWE 2K24. They are as follows:

Throwing objects - Allows players to throw objects at opponents. Now, objects like chairs, trash bins, and water bottles grabbed from the broadcast table can be hurled at opponents. You can these objects as projectiles, creating entertaining animations when they hit your opponent from a distance.
Trading blows mini-game - This is a mini game feature where players must time their strikes to hit the green area. Missing the green area counts as a strike, and after three strikes, your wrestler becomes vulnerable to attacks from the opponent.
Spectator mode - The improvised Spectator mode puts the spotlight on AI matches. Unlike previous editions, players can freely adjust the camera angle using on-screen controls for better visuals.
Ringside features - Certain ringside objects, like the announcer table, have also received updates, making them more interactive during matches. This allows players to clear the announcer table, climb onto it, and execute various grapple moves, both on and off the table.
