I always appreciated that in HCTP, everything carried over season after season (and even if you decided to over with someone new halfway through a season).

Call Me Charlie posted:I never really had a problem with Raw 2 but I think the issues started to crop up when you raised the difficulty above medium. A lot more stuff happens when you have the world title, and there's enough to do that you can probably run out an entire calendar year as champion without seeing all of the championship storylines. If you try to hold all 3 belts at once it will basically make you wrestle 12 times a month, because you hold all 3 belts. Certain things will only happen if you are at a certain overness, you can decline the really basic ones in favor of pursuing and defending a title, and it was really nice to be able to tear all the wrestlers I hated out of the roster and replace them with CAWs that the game would book for me and track their W/L and associated popularity, instead of staring at Universe mode and wondering why no one will drop a title unless I intervene personally to make them job. For as open-ended as Raw 2 was, actually playing it was a really tedious, repetitive experience that made me hate that version of the Raw theme in a way you might never understand. If you haven't played it in 10 years, you might not like what you return to find. I think HCTP, after many long years, has finally been surpassed by the newer games because of core gameplay issues and lack of newer features (I sure wish I could throw in 100 CAWs to HCTP), but it was the gold standard otherwise. The animations are actually still better than the stuff in 2K14 (haven't tried 2K15 yet). It's really hysterical how many "new innovations" in the 2K series were in very old games. Legends of Wrestling 2, which overall is kind of a poo poo game, still has better commentary and context-specific move reversals. In 2004.

The GameCube WWE games had the only Royal Rumbles that were ever fun on a wrestling game

I've always liked the VPW engine Royal Rumbles, but they need a non-strike way to eliminate fools.

The Rumble should be the gamiest match in the game. Screw full time for replenishing eliminations, make them come out at like 20 second intervals. Screw any artificial way to keep people in ring, people should be getting tossed constantly. There should be like 50 different animations just for tossing people and that is not including just striking them over the ropes or knocking them out off the top. They should be context sensitive based on the weight class of the wrestler being tossed and who is tossing. I should be able to back body drop counter runners out like in the SNES WWF games and power-bomb fuckers over the top too. An attempt to toss someone should end with either stalemate, an eliminated tossee or a counter eliminated tosser. It should be the most fun you can have in the 5 to 10 minutes it takes to finish the match.

I started Supercard again and sent a request to LLJK, in-game name is Swaggamemnon. So for this Season 2 stuff, I need to make sure not only to fully grind the card level, but also the level for all 4 stats and the special, before pro-ing the card? Is there anything else I should do to the card in order to make sure it has max possible stats?

Keep putting point tokens into the stats that are already good, don't try to buff up the bad stats to "fix" them. If you do you'll end up with a bunch of cards that aren't actually great in any matchup. I tried it once to verify and ended up with a Kane that was neither stronger than Orton or more charismatic than Bryan. He just lost at everything a lot.

There are ally / enemy standings held over from before the rivalry system that probably influence the random seed of the automated rivalries to a significant degree. An unscientific reading indicates that they heavily factor into 2k16 Survivor Series rivalries. Presumably if you make two factions and set them as enemies of each other they would be slotted into those roles. I don't know how heavily you've invested in Diva CAWs but depending on how you distribute your roster you could end up with fairly static rankings, which won't help. It also seems as though the system will try to set rivalries around similar stat distributions, which makes sense. You get something approximating card position automatically implemented. Ostensibly the boosting / chilling effects of momentum on stats should shake things up, but they don't seem to in practice. A lot of the time I wish you could disable automatic rivalries but keep in the traditional ones (rumble, Undertaker, SS, etc). Without them on you get #1 contender matches on the go-home shows and it helps to vary things up. You don't miss a ton, though obviously things like the new injury system and the like are harder to take advantage of without that focus.

You can always just manually edit someone's ranking to the bottom of the list, which should knock them out of contention for a while unless their momentum is high.

If anyone's wondering abt the Terminator moves, both T1 and T2 use a signature standing knee smash that's not very spectacular. T2 has a "claw slam" (choke slam w/ face holding instead of neck holding) as a finisher. What I'm assuming will interest most people is that T1's "Terminator Spike" is actually a Kobashi-style burning hammer, as opposed to the Tyler Reks-style reverse fireman's carry slam that goes by that name. In my game the Terminators (and their manager, Mikey Whipwreck) have successfully defended the WWE tag titles for 116 weeks

Silly 2K! You finally put the Big Bossman in a game but you give him the Akeem theme rather than Hard Times. Don't get me wrong - jive soul bro rules, but I really wanted his real theme.

Attitude Bossman would have been a good fit for the theme of this game, but classic is cool. Finally get a good set of standing sleeper holds, and one from behind even. Trish's Roundhouse kick looks great too.

Gives me a good excuse to download an Akeem, and you can never have enough of those.

Geektox posted:Does anyone have a good guide or LP of Total Extreme Wrestling? picked it up since it was on sale but jesus, there's so many buttons A general tip is to start as a small company, rather than WWE (If you're using a real world scenario). Booking an event or two a month using a small roster is way more manageable than trying to juggle a huge roster running 3 shows a week. Have you played the old version, EWR at all? It might be a good starting point if you've never touched a booking sim before, it has the same basic framework but with way less to manage.

I will agree with Triplexpac here on playing EWR. I have played these games on and off since they were really simple, and the last one that hit the sweet spot for me was EWR. It is complicated enough to be interesting, but not so much so that everything drags. I have bought a couple of the TEW games, and I just cant find the patience to put the time into them that I could and occasionally still can with EWR. I mean, you might as well try one of the early ones, as they are free now, but do try EWR as well, I still think it is the most fun of the games, for whatever value of fun can be had with this kind of management sim.

I could never get into a TEW game before 13. I've probably put in 200 hours into 13, I really like it. Right now I'm playing a 1995 WCW scenario, booking my promotion around Lex Luger. He's the man. I'll be getting WWE 2K16 for Christmas tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting into it.

I miss when they made storylines based on crazy poo poo, like when Candice Michelle had a magic wand or when Edge & Christian had a time machine. Basically, make 2K17's story mode into WWE Immortals.
