Is anyone else watching Woods and Breeze's Battle of the Brands series on UUDD?

It's insane at how bad Woods is at the game (and how salty he gets about it)

I’ve watched only a couple episodes of it. Anyone who puts Charlie Haas vs. Joy Giovanni as a feud deserves to get their rear end handed to them.

That career mode trailer does look pretty good, actually. Zombie H and being teleported into Woken Matt's weird Twin Peaks waiting room and Hunter's goofy masked henchman are all neat touches. And it's amusing that both WWE 2K and Fire Pro decided to have you work a fake indie in career mode.

I think you mean :siren: HE'S FAT:siren:.

But yeah I just got suckered in. Preordered deluxe edition because even if the game is crap I can have fun with creation tools.

Other news I've spotted that interests me:

Some Create an Arena options are the high school gym, high school parking lot, Japan Hall, Japan Dome (Tokyo Dome Hype?), and Mexico Plaza. Also Hammerstein with what appears to be custom banners hanging from the balcony.
You can have 6 titles to a show in Universe mode.
You can set managers in universe mode.
Money in the Bank has its own settings and you can set what titles it's for and for the AI to cash in automatically. Also has its own entrances.
You can set what wrestler wins in a simulated match in Universe.
You can set what types of matches appear on a show, so only hardcore matches on ECW, for example.

I’m all for a return to camp (I think somebody on staff might have played SLAMMED) but the test is going to be how many listless matches you’ll be expected to fight in between each plot point.

It looks like they might be getting rid of the pointless heel / face choices and just making the PC a tweener, which would be a smart move.

It also sounds like they might finally be fixing some old problems with Universe design, eg having only one MITB winner and the AI not using MITB. But with these things it’s like pushing a bubble from one side of the tape to another. There will be old bugs and new ones.

You've got to admit, you are kind of implausible



There's some updates to the Universe mode that's been a long time coming. You can have six titles, and they can be whatever you want. You want 6 tag titles on the show, you can have it. MitB cash ins can now be chosen to happen before, during, or after a match, and the big one for me, you can finally chose a winner when you simulate matches.

This is actually cool as hell and I feel like it's something I've put in the "why can't they just..." pile fumbling through CAW mode one time. He goes through it so many times and I don't think the attires repeat! Feel the same way about goofy story mode stuff and fights that are closer to video game bosses than WWE matches. So they have good direction on the paint job stuff this year, just the...game is gonna be the game.

-Sabin, Terra, Cody, Duke Nukem, Rainbow Mika, 2B, Samus and Solid Snake compete in a 1 Night Tournament to crown the Sovereign of The Sand!
-Plus, The Super Mario Bros take on New Challengers in a non-title match, and a classic match from the GAME Pro Wrestling archives: Earthworm Jim vs Purple Tentacle!
-All this and... not really anything more. It's been a rough couple weeks.

What's bizarre is that they're almost throwing this stuff out under the radar at the last minute when you'd think features like this would be how you'd try to sell the game and hide that it's the same old graphics and gameplay.

Well to be fair, given what NBA 2k wrote a few years ago (you could customize your player but you were a black kid making steps into the NBA. Even if you were white. And no, you weren't adopted, you got your terrible nickname "Frequency Vibrations" from you moving around in your mom's womb while she was pregnant with you and your twin sister. Who is again, black) I'll take a voice allowing people to just assume they've got a weird voice for whatever ethnicity they want to pick, especially if the VA is good, and from what I've watched he seems pretty solid of a choice.

In other news, during this video showing off all the new moves, apparently one of the moves is improperly set-up in Create a Moveset, so the attacker doesn't actually connect and just kills himself instead

My most wanted big new feature would be the ability to port your created content forward to future games. I'd be a total sucker and buy every game, no matter how bad, if that was the case.

Like sure they're always tweaking the CAW mode, but there has to be enough that doesn't change between games that they could make this work. Even if like a part/move or two gets reset in translation, just let me do it dammit.

I don't think Fire Pro technically has this either, but they aren't cranking out games every year (and you know there's at least gonna be a mod to port everything over for any eventual PC sequel) so I've had no problem investing a ton of time in creating stuff there.

Doesn't some other 2K sports game actually support this? Or maybe EA? I realize a created sportsman has much less going on but still.

The way some people are talking, Fire Pro may not even get all the announced DLC. :smith:

That being said, Fire Pro is pretty friendly towards porting CAWS from older editions... In that the vast majority of the available CAW parts and moves and AI settings are identical to previous versions. There are hundreds, possibly thousands of edits on the Steam Workshop for Fire Pro that are direct ports from Fire Pro Wrestling Returns/D/GBA

Is FPW doing that badly sales-wise? I know it's more than likely dwelling in the domain of niche wrestling game enthusiasts like us, so it would be disappointing but not surprising if it wasn't meeting sales goals.

World is an evergreen product, at least once the dlc is released it is. Returns was similar for years but being on the PC, this one doesn't have to stop getting better. It's a bummer there wont be sequels, but honestly, Fire Pro is a very dated style of game, and I would rather they went in other directions if they were to make more wrestling games anyway. KOC3 anyone?
