Wait did people here really think the tutorial popups were part of the standard UI The real problem with the animation is that you've got a pretty wide range of motion that's still beholden to collision detection. That's something you can hide reasonably well in, say, a boxing game, where range of movement is exceedingly tight. But to have guys running around the ring and flying into each other necessarily requires transitions that can't really be all that smooth. There does appear to be new animation in movement - Cesaro coming off the turnbuckle, for example, or the removal of the "dude jerks prone as he's kicked while getting up" issue that's been there since the first Smackdown.

I do not understand why they have not attempted to basically recreate No Mercy as a cheap digital only title. With poor low quality characters and all. Didn't that just happen with RBI Baseball? NBA Jam and NFL Blitz were also brought back as barebones digital games Ultra realism does not make these games fun.

From the observer:quote:WWE video game sales are actually up from last year even though company revenue is down and talent royalty payments are way down. The difference is the deal structure. So no matter how much the game sells, it appears the time of big royalty checks is gone for the wrestlers.

Following from God of Paradise' post I restarted my TEW game such that my fed had better momentum (B-, up from E) and it's definitely a lot more straightforward, my guys aren't stalling and my main events are getting over into the B range, which is good. Main attraction is Drew Mac vs. "The Nature Boy" Adam Pierce, but Pierce is getting run ragged so I'm adding Mason Ryan in as a minor player in their feud so it can be maintained. My momentum is slowly bleeding month-to-month, however, even as my shows are doing good ratings, since I'm coming out in the middle of the pack in regional battles. I decided to approximate TNA's current situation by using the in-game editor to cut their current funds by 75%, so they cut a bunch of their roster and I picked up a few Von Erichs, who I'm grooming to feud with a few young and previously unemployed Harts. At least in the July 2014 real world mod I'm using, Brent Albrecht is a really good main eventer for small companies - he's reasonably skilled, comes cheaply at about $550 per appearance (with neutral negotiating skill) and still seems to be on the upswing at 35 - he's improving in every match he has against skilled opponents. He'll be a good main event heel in the mid-future. Meanwhile, CHIKARA is goosing ratings by consistently running backstage angles featuring Scott Hall and Vince Russo  that is ultimately the fun of simulation games like this - it's sort of like dwarf fortress, you run it and just see what the game engine decides to put together and sometimes the results are dumbfounding.Anyway, I'm in the minority on this but reading the IGN article on the WWE2k15 gameplay has me kind of optimistic, in that what annoys me most about WWE14 and games prior is the pacing of it. I do really enjoy the WWE PPV main event match psychology, when really done right, and past games (save No Mercy and its ilk) couldn't really capture that. The stamina system described gives me hope in that regard. Like I keep thinking back on EA's Fight Night games on the 360, and how the most fun (and frustrating, but in a good way) parts of that game were the long wars of attrition you'd get into in later rounds, when both fighters are thoroughly gassed and your hooks just lightly *tap* against your opponent's face, until an opening appears for one semi-solid punch to send your opponent crashing. You don't really get that sense of strenuous battle in WWE games. Even Fire Pro, a game more fast-paced than any modern WWE game, typically features mutual collapse after big moves in the latter part of a match, and that makes a difference even when lulls in the action last a second or two. It sounds like that's what the stamina system is trying to introduce, and if they succeed then this is a game I'll probably love. As for the rock-paper-scissors system, it could end up playing badly, but at this point 2k14's reversal system feels just as sour as the endless chain reversals of games prior - you don't get those endless stretches of no moves pulled, but at the same time it was hard to set a reversal frequency that was challenging but not prohibitive. When you grappled, you pressed a button and the dice determined whether or not you'd hit the move, and after awhile, as reversal odds crept up to keep the game competitive, it got frustrating to succeed at the whims of the die as move after move got reversed. A more involved grappling system could alleviate that. Basic Chunnel fucked around with this message at Aug 14, 2014 around 06:39 |

It's March 2015 and Stardust is a main eventer. The commentary team for PPVs is Joey Styles, Byron Saxton, and somehow Bad News Barrett who is also a main eventer.

This card game is the stupidest thing hahah. They don't even really explain how to play. Luckily it's pretty braindead and easy But my tag team of Yokozuna & Big Show just crushed Heath & Ryder so I can't complain too much I guess. Yoko beat them both on his own! You get a pack of cards randomly to begin with, one top tier one middle tier, then some scrub cards. My top tier was Christian. I feel bad for anyone who got Ryder

In the card game, when do the cards' built-in stat boosts trigger? I can't find a pattern to it. Also it is really simple and addicting in exhibition, but the KOTR mode is weird.

I saw Christian was one of my commons, and I was hoping that the game sort of ranked wrestlers overall, which would be funny and possibly offensive. But you're saying Christian was top-tier for you, so I guess that's not likely. My common Christian was 'pre-show old man'-lookin' Christian, though, so maybe it's by era. I solemnly swear not to spend a dime on this game.

It doesn't look like you really have to; you just are at the fate of when it wants to give you a rare (or above) card. Right now my team is Rare Jey Uso, Uncommon (Pro) Ultimate Warrior, Rare Steve Austin, Uncommon Bray Wyatt, and Common (Pro) AJ Lee, with a chair and Paul Heyman (+3 Power/Charisma). Warrior and either Uso or Wyatt make a team, and Austin's great in everything except Speed.

Yeah I'm not sure why someone would spend money on it, the game is constantly throwing cards at you. I guess paying might get you the Epic tier cards faster? Right now everyone is on a level playing field, but I could see it getting annoying if you're matched up with Epic Whales

Right now my team is pretty good. I have Big Jon Studd as my leader, he is my go-to for singles matches. Then I have Orton/Christian/Rey as a good mix for tags & singles depending on if the match requires speed or power. They're all blue cards, only thing I need now is a good Diva. I only have a grey Tamina right now.
