I hope 2K15 randomizes jobbers with goofy CAW attire in NXT/career mode like the mystery dudes you had to defeat in Smackdown 2.

This was also the best thing about Soul Calibur IV.

My project is complete. I now have WWE with NXT, CZW, ROH, and PWG in my Universe Mode on 2k14. 100 CAWs, 99 of which are NXT and Indie wrestlers. The last is my new CAW. Woo hoo!

That's cool though. I started working on a Monday night wars universe mode with a few new guys and legends to spice things up. I set it all up and made it about a month.

I think when you start a KOTR it locks your cards in at the level they're already at. You can train them up and play them in exhibition matches but the increase in XP doesn't get factored into the KOTR. (I know this because I had the same genius idea to scam my way to a KOTR win and it didn't work :( )

I'm going to argue against this, I've been trying the same thing and it's gone pretty well for me, at some points during the 45 games, my win percentage seems to have improved as cards have gone for Level 10 to Level 30 or whatever.

Woke up this morning just after Game #44, only had 20 minutes before having to go to work, managed to get 4 Fitness cards and use them. Come home from work to find that I made the Final. In both of the first to rounds I won against weaker cards, in the second round my opponents topped up and I still came through victorious. That's a pleasant surprise after I thought it was all in vain. Welcome to the team, Del Rio Combined. (I am addicted to this game perhaps more than any other iOS thing.)

Take me to your Shida

I feel like the drop rates on Ultra and Super Rares needs to be increased. There are plenty of possible cards to prevent oversaturation of the best ones, but I'm in Epic+ and have never drawn an Ultra Rare wrestler (all of the ones I have are from KotR). I haven't been in Epic tier long enough to really complain about never drawing an Epic other than my guaranteed one, but it feels like I'm going to be here for a month unless I get REALLY lucky with my KotR draws. I could go the cheese route in UR KotR tier but

A: that basically being the only way to progress is terrible and
B: I don't have the time to constantly farm for energy

It is a frustrating gate for an otherwise awesome game :(

I concur. Being just in Ultra Rare ++ and still getting constant Rare Tyson Kidd drops just kills my interest in this game.

I've gotten a lot of good drops lately, I had assumed they did boost the drop rate. In the past couple days I've gotten one Epic and a few URs randomly (I'm in UR++)

I'm in that same boat--now a good chunk into Legendary+, and still have yet to draw another epic through exhibition matches.

On the plus side, I've collected nearly all the rare cards. Now I wish I had tried less hard in the People's Championship thing--the bottom reward was a rare Lesnar, and I just need two of those to finish out.

I want to get 2K15 on PC. I'm going to wait until January for an official release date for the PC version and if it's not coming out on PC like they have hinted at? I'll buy a XB1 then. Until then I'll happily continue to play 2K14.

Entered my first Legendary draft because I've been too lazy to farm energy in the top 8 and Legendary gets me an epic for doing zero work over two days, which is nice/

Honestly I like KOTR and would like to actually play it to try and win, but the possibility of people playing 3 Epic Pros or Legendaries and 2 Commons makes the odds of making the finals tiny. So I guess I'll just be on the free epic every two days train for a while.

I actually couldn't even make it quite that far. I had a LOT of fun with the game until I hit Epic++, and I've hit such a wall that I can't really bring myself to play it anymore. Fun while it lasted though!

Yeah, I was stuck here for a while too, and it is discouraging. I got really lucky by getting a second Stone Cold from an exhibition (already had one from a KOTR reward) which bumped up my team from Epic++ to Legendary, and that really helped my enjoyment of this game. Got Triple H as my free Legendary and now I'm off to the races. KOTRs giving a guaranteed Epic is good stuff.

I've stooped to being That Guy in SuperCard. I downgraded from Epic to Ultra Rare in KOTR by running:

Max SR Pro Big Show
Untrained UR Seth Rollins
Max UR Pro Shawn Michaels
Max Epic Pro Randy Orton
Max Legendary Cameron

And a bench full of untrained commons. My only UR Pro is Michaels, and the lack of a good tag team is hurting me at Epic level. Need to pick up some pairs to either compete or move up.

Of course, the day I decide to do this scam, Karmine is in the same KOTR as I am :v:

Now that I've maxed my Pro SR Paige I'm stuck at UR++ just a little ways away from the next tier and I'm stuck there until I get lucky enough to get a duplicate UR drop so I can pro one of them. That's a little frustrating.

Not necessarily. I made it from UR++ to Epic with 5 Pro'd SRs and a UR Support card. It helped that my SRs were mostly above average (Ladder Cena, Wyatt, Big Show, Rowan, Paige).
I am actually on Epic+ now and still don't have any UR pairs.

I've got Ladder Pro SR Cena, UR Triple H, Pro SR Big Show, Pro SR Cesar, and Ladder Pro SR Paige. I guess once I feed and combine my SR Andres that will help.

You might make it by swapping out your UR Triple H for a Pro SR Andre, but don't forget about your Support cards too. I was fortunate to get a UR Ladder early on, which I believe helped me get over the hump.
