So it seems that Career Mode is just controlling a create-a-wrestler through Universe Mode, same cut-scenes and all. You are also only allowed to wrestle on 3 PPV's a year. Once you become champ, it auto sims you to the last match of your career.

A robust career mode was the main draw for me since it doesn't seem like creating WWE vs NJPW 2K15 through the creation modes is really going to be possible with the reduced feature set.

To be fair, being able to skip the 'creative has nothing for you' segments of your career will probably be a blessing and not a curse.

I'm watching this too and while they're only fooling around on career mode, the small bits of gameplay I have seen look absolutely awful. You can supposedly turn chain wrestling off though so that's okay? The UI is appalling too.

Played some exhibitions and game feels a lot weightier in a really good way, stamina plays out just as good as I thought it would and the tons and tons of new interstitial animations are great, really make everything feel a lot better. The grappling minigame kinda is boring and I will more than likely just turn that off though.

I'm playing it and it's fun. The omissions suck but I was so sick of arcade-y Yuke's bullshit and while this isn't No Mercy the pacing is markedly improved

I'm gonna end up buying this game and squeezing the life out of it while I can before trading it in for something else. It'll be interesting to see the general overall impression of this game vs. the pockets of people who insist the game has its merits. Basically they made the perfect TNA game.

MyCareer is definitely not NBA2K's - the dead silence during the few cutscenes there are speak to a budget deficit. But as a wrestling-based RPG-lite it's fun, and playing as a weakling nobody lets you ease into the new system. Basically, everything is text (mostly the GM of whatever show you're on telling you "creative has nothing for you", which I think is funny), and you have three "resources" to manage - skill/attribute points, VC (used to buy ability slots and hire Zeb Coulter as your manager), and twitter followers, which I guess fuel your push status(?). You gain skill points by performing (I was told at first that it didn't matter if you won or lost, but it does), and as you rise into the status of Superstars jobber you're given the choice of working dark matches (fewer Twitter followers gained but more VC) or curtain-jerk matches (more twitter followers, less VC). The mode is noticeably kayfabe-lite and throws in a fair few smark terms (Sandow called me a paper champion :'( ). In terms of gameplay, one thing I do really like is that they really nailed the matches where you play as a cruiserweight against a hoss. Titus and Big E shrug off hard and running strikes and they just toss you if you try to grapple or start the chain wrestling minigame, so you've got to wear them down with weak strikes and rely on your speed to avoid them (Big E hits ridiculously hard) before they open up to offense. It's fun.

Basically, everything is text (mostly the GM of whatever show you're on telling you "creative has nothing for you", which I think is funny), I'm totally fine with everything being text if it means you get tons of different cutscenes and branching paths. Unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the case. But yeah, for my wrestling games I would much rather have more stuff than voiced scenes. Hell even give me stuff like Smackdown 2 where you don't even get text dialogue, let me fill in the blanks in my head haha.

Me too; unfortunately, it seems that the most vocal part of the audience demand VOs, which is why we went from the awesome season mode in HCTP to the lame ones since HCTP. I guess they hate reading or something?

I'm surprised WWE hasn't forked over mic only audio for Yukes or whoever to splice and play with. Given a large enough sample size, you could probably invent new material out it(think like Siri). But you know innovation, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
