Oh that's cool, I always thought the AI always reversed after 3 'just cause'. I do love that they made floor stomps much quicker this year, very satisfying addition.

You know what ISN'T balanced around? The heart-punch is almost literally unblockable, because there's no counter prompt and the recovery animation leaves the opponent standing long enough that you can do it again, as long as your guy still has stamina. Had 2 different pubbies use that once they realised they couldn't just spam running moves or stomps to make me waste counters.

Oh, the first time one of them did it, I was tickled because I love the move. Then he did it 35 more times and got 2 finishers.

2k16 is on sale for Gold members on Xbox One. $45 for base game, $60 for game and all DLC (including the MyPlayer career boost).

The base game is going to be $30 - $35 at several stores on Black Friday, but I'm willing to pay a $10 premium to avoid Black Friday bullshit and have a digital copy.

Best Buy's website has it $30 physical with free shipping if anyone is interested.

The PS4/Bone versions of 2k16 were £16 each in Argos in the UK yesterday.
If anyone's interested in the game and local to one, might be worth popping in and seeing if you can still snag one.

Ended up getting 2K16 from Best Buy for $30. Seems like a good price for a 1 month old game

the intercontinental championship has a curse. you will become unstuck in time, lost for all eternity, to fight wade loving barrett every smackdown. it's been three months, every smackdown, i fight wade goddamn barrett. this game is an unending hell but i go on to have my year long reign as the intercontinental champion. the IC belt is pain, and pain is looking wade barrett in his cold, dead eyes, and putting him in an armbar forever.

Don't back all the way out of the CAW menu. Download as many slots as you can and quit (on PS4 you just press the Home button and quit from there). When you start the game back up it shouldn't have counted any of your downloads.

I haven't needed to download more than 20 CAWs since the new moves pack, so hopefully it hasn't been patched.

For people who don't want to get the accelerator / unlock everything in 2k16 MyCareer, a lot of indie moves are hidden in Quick Edit preset movesets that you'll have to purchase with the in-game currency. For example, the Rainmaker is either a "striker" or "technician" preset, I forget which.

or you could, ya know, just make a moves list in the MyCreations mode which has those moves already unlocked, go into Career mode, edit moves, and Copy Created Superstars move list to your Career caw. Everything will transfer over BUT you will STILL have to "buy" the abilities and skills to do like any of the top rope, springboard, and other situational stuff.

But you'll still get to do cool poo poo like the Rainmaker and Nakamura's knee from the get go.

Anyone else having issues with custom wrestlers not loading imported textures properly when playing online? I've seen a couple of guys with good Alberto del Rios, which look great in the matching screen, but then in game all the custom stuff like the face is just matte black.

LilDicky - his Apollo Crews looks like an in game model


his Okada is great, too


and if you like Nakamura search for BOSS_LIGHTYEAR, he made a really good one.

its so silly they boast the biggest roster but the game booking has you face off against the same guy each week. It got to the point in MyCareer where I'd grab a chair and eat the DQ just to speed through a feud. Somehow that turned me face.

Either I'm doing it wrong or they patched it. Do you mean not back out to the Creation section its self or the first screen you see in community creations with all the other people's CAWs?

So does the whole Windows Media Center workaround for custom music not work on the XBone? I just got one. I don't have the game yet, and that could be a dealbreaker.

Thanks for this! I've yet to see a good Tanahashi. Most of them are kind of weird. Same with Naito and Ibushi.

That'd be a pretty funny shtick to do for real. Like, they say that Reigns can only win the title at TLC by pin or submission, in his TLC match.

How do I acquire a tag partner in 2k16? The tutorial told me it's by running in during one of their matches and going after the other guy, but that didn't work. Do I need to specifically do a mid-match run-in, and if so, do I need to do anything specific during that run-in?

Tag partners are useless during NXT. Run in mid match and manage a guy to victory.
