I have Super Rare Cesaro/Hogan/Big Show/Del Rio and Pro Rare Natalya and I'm doing pretty okay. I can't figure out how to get anything higher than Super Rare without giving them money or doing King of the Ring, which I hate and takes forever.

I notice the special ability doesn't always kick in, it seems random. Or am I doing something wrong, because I probably would be the one to gently caress up in a card game.

My maxed SR Hogan is 171/183/141/202, so he's pretty good for a standard SR.

I got super rare Paige and Cena cards as ladder rewards that have gold borders and appear to be unusable. It's weird.

edit: I guess all the rewards have gold borders but I can't put the SRs in my deck.

A lot of people play this stupid card game.

The top 5 already have 2000+ points, somehow.

It doesn't matter what side you pick, everyone gets rewards. The sides just determine if they'll be Cena or Lesnar cards.

I got my first Ultra-Rare wrestler today, Sheamus. It kinda sucks that he can't hold a candle to all of my other wrestlers. I had an insanely lucky run over the last couple of days and ended up with a main team of all Pro SR's so he's just sorta sitting around as a King of the Ring benchwarmer with Pro SR Cesaro and Vince.

Edit: If you're worried about jumping into People's champ mode don't be, your ranking is purely a function of time spent, nothing else matters. I've been at home the last couple days with a killer flu so I've had nothing to do but play this game and watch TV, and I'm in the top 1500 just because I've been here to pres butan all day. I'm just into Ultra Rare++, and as far as I can tell that doesn't even matter. The +3 matches are picked so you'll win like 80% of them and the +5's are set up so you'll win like 25%, as far as I can tell. This changes, of course, if you're one of the tons of dudes I've run into gaming your tier with 3 epic cards and 2 commons.

CMLL has made me think that a wrestling game needs to come out with a "sound" option. Y'know, different ambient sound for different circumstances/eras/etc. And the "Mexico" option needs to have nonstop airhorn "chants" no matter what.

When you lose in the finals of a king of the ring it should cut to a crying crowd.

I was feeling stagnant in Supercard and then exhibition mode saw fit to give me an Epic HHH, which is my best card behind the UR Pro Brock I got from the first People's Champ. :3:

Tanking my rating a bit to be competitive in UR King of the Ring instead of just getting wrecked in Epic is helping a lot too.

My stacked KotR team ran into another stacked team in the semi-finals and I barely got through by the skin of my teeth. I had to use boosts and grind as many energy refills as possible between rounds, and I won the 3rd game 2-1 because it picked the two cards I had managed to refill.

Good times, now I can just sit here because I don't care at all about a support card, I just want my pair.

Since I've reached epic I've only not qualified for a single bracket and that was because I was busy during the weekend it fell on and went like, 5-40 or something absurd, but my UR drop was a Rock, giving me a duplicate, so it was even better.

I'm consistently rocking these without having to cheese them, I don't know what you guys are doing wrong here that you need to force down your levels.

It's just better to consistently get pairs of URs than single epics until you can get pairs of epics.

It's funny that they're using Hogan as a big pre-order selling point when it's not as though they haven't been using him in games over the last few years. He was in 2k14, All-Stars, Legends of WrestleMania, etc.

It's worse than that, Hogan isn't a preorder bonus he's a "hey give us 20-30 bucks extra" bonus, since he's only in the hulkamania or digital deluxe editions.

But hey, you get TWO hogans!

I thought UR Pro Daniel Bryan/Edge/Randy Orton/Brock Lesnar/AJ would be enough to get me to Legendary tier, but not quite :(

That's what's happening this time. The review embargo lifts the night of release day, not the morning. The game will be on sale (and pre-orders intact and fulfilled) for the whole day before reviews can go live.

People suckered in by pre-order bonuses and the MUST HAVE NOW mentality that publishers have cultivated.

Absolutely positive. Other than accounting for time zones, nothing is getting out for Tuesday. It's an embargo and not an NDA, though, so don't be surprised if shops break street date or EU publications say gently caress it and put reviews out on the Monday, with US publications then following suit because gently caress it who cares at that point. (In fairness, I've broken embargos a little early before, myself, and nothing really came of it because it was only something like 7 hours ahead of time; it's a bitch when people don't specify time zones. So you never know, writers may say gently caress it regardless. I would hope so.)

I don't think anybody's expecting reviews on Monday, just that they'll be out Tuesday when the game is. They aren't being held for 24-hours post-release unless I'm totally misreading the statements I've seen.

Not having a good Diva card in Supercard is screwing me over again. I've had to change my sandbagging strategy to run a tag team and not a Diva, all I have is an Epic Brie that constantly loses to all the Pro UR Paige's and everything else out there.

I really wish I didn't miss that Pro UR Paige prize or whatever it was that gave everyone that card.

It was a people's champion reward. I got a Pro UR AJ from the People's Champ before the last one, which still manages to lose to that drat card half the time.

I like the way 2k15 plays, except for the chain grapple system, but all of the creation modes suck. Real cool how all I can do to make my entrance is mash together other current wrestlers' entrances or use the one custom one they included that's a lovely cell phone joke.

It also appears that I can't have different shoes on my guy in his entrance attire and in his ring attire.

Edit: it would also be nice if any of the content I stupidly paid extra for was working but I assume that'll be fixed soonish.

If they have been removed, does anybody know why? Are they no longer a thing in "real" wrestling? (I don't watch WWE, sorry)
