Parent Pro-Tip

Parents should be aware of the game's 'Teen' rating due to simulated violence and potentially suggestive themes related to WWE Divas. While direct stranger chat is absent, online competitive play can expose players to toxicity. Encourage breaks after matches or career mode milestones to prevent extended play sessions.
