I won a KOTR and got two SR Mizzes. Sigh.

Look I know we all love being efficient with our resources but do what I did and combine them and feed them to SR Cesaro or something. gently caress the Miz and especially gently caress that picture of the Miz.

If they really want to monetize, a transparently evil strategy would be to offer SR Divas for real money.

I'm grinding to try and top off the two SR HBKs I got from my last KOTR, I've got one maxed and the other is on his way. In SR++ for Exhibition and the good news is that it feels like I'm getting better, more common rare and SR drops (got a SR Goldust!); but the bigger deal is that even those Rares clear the board. And nothing is worse than being down to two cards left and choosing one and it's a Rare or a KOTR power card

I don't see why it matters that it clears the board. It'll give you what you want, or it wont, on every pick. The board is basically an illusion of a shell game, because it's not like the cards are pre-determined before you choose them. That last card is no more statistically likely to be a SR or above than the first card on the board, so don't fret about resetting.

I'm looking into "vanity" wrestling games for a dumb article I may or may not end up writing. Y'know, games about/entirely focusing on one guy. I'm aware of Atsushi Onita, Nobuhiko Takada, Cuty Suzuki, Masakatsu Funaki, and I think Akira Maeda had one. Can anyone think of any other examples? Especially non-Japanese ones?

e: hit post and immediately remembered Hulk Hogan's Main Event, which I guess counts even though I don't think the Hulkster is playable.

also, lol, Hulk Hogan's Main Event.

I don't know if this counts but there was a Von Erich family board game. Not a single person, but a single family of wrestlers.

So far my strategy of slogging through KOTR and not even qualifying is going okay. Got a second UR Brock, so that'll help my team out haha.

There's no reason to not be in KOTR all the time. Worst case scenario, you can try it again in two days when you have one more decent (or better) card.

Sweet. It's dumb but I'd love it if they rolled out some legendary cards like "Nation Rock" or "DX HHH". They kinda have done that with some guys randomly having older photos in the mix... I think they should have held off on those and made unique cards out of them.

I don't think they have any problem with quantity of possible future cards. They can make 1998 Kane as a desirable upper-tier card now, and save "Hardcore Kane" for some future chase card event thing.

The "WWE2k15 Gameplay Trailer" is up on IGN...

http://uk.ign.com/videos/2014/09/22/wwe-2k15-first-official-gameplay-trailer

No hints of NXT in the gameplay trailer - So Im guessing a second trailer will be on the show tonight? Otherwise the Next Generation thing doesnt make a whole lot of sense. Though as always with WWE, I am prepare to be disappointed.

My wife and I were just discussing what console to get when the 360 finally dies, and to me the debate was "I want to play the new Zelda(s), but is it worth forsaking everything else including WWE2k15?" So thanks for posting this, now I am fully committed to buying a WiiU when the time comes.

but the cards necessary to level the cards is the thing here.

there are a lot of people who seem to have bought their way to leveled up cards, without having played the games necessary to feed the cards.

You can also buy more cards to feed to the other cards. Basically, people are stupid as gently caress.

I've gone 8-0 so far in KOTR by doing that "throw the tag team match" trick, so I guess it works pretty well so far.

Could you refresh me on that? I barely clawed my way into the quarter-finals of an epic-level KOTR by using all my boosts and I'm pretty sick of this crap.

This game is a lot better than others of its type. It can be played for 30 seconds or 10 hours, the gap between people that pay and people that play for free is minimal, it's juuust complex enough that you can't simply jab at the screen for an entire match, etc. But the "diva gap" is just intensely annoying. You can't even reliably throw money at the problem.

Agreed. SR Pro Paige is getting annoying. She's a tie at best since everyone has one.

I've started using my item either on the diva's match or on the third match (after its become clear that there wont be a divas match). I can't tell you how many ties I've avoided and won by saving my item use for a "second wind" on SR Paige.

I need to apologize to the game gods. I got my 4th epic out of that "quarter-finals of an epic-level KOTR" I was bitching about, and I got my 2nd epic bray. Leveled and combined that poo poo right up to max pro, which put me into Legendary, which got me a Kane. And I'm a shameless mark for Kane. So yeah, good supercard day.

This is the phase of the game release cycle where their own narrow view of what they have created is 95% of the conversation. We are at the "every choice the player makes will have major repercussions" stage, not the "there's only two endings lol" stage.

Everyone on Supercard has pretty much figured out the whole "punt half of your cards so that you can have just enough cards of super high level to win" which makes playing rather frustrating. Off the top of my head, I can't think of a solution, but something really needs to be done about it. It's stupid going against 3 epic pros with a team of UR Pros.

They just need to change the ranking system (in exhibition) to work on the basis of your three highest-rated cards, not the overall deck.

uh what?

I don't think you get how to cheeze KOTR.

You put in 4 commons. These are your tag teams. You don't ever have to swap them but gently caress it why not.

You put in your 4 best cards. 2 in the solo spots, 2 on the bench. Get a second diva that's good enough to maybe win some games. Every 2 hrs, you log in for less than 30 seconds and swap the teams.

When you wake up, you use 3 energy to refil your "A" team. Rinse, repeat. Tryhard when you get to the bracket. Unless you're just super weak on your best cards, you should win roughly 2/3 of your games. If you're really over-doing it, you probably will win against everyone that isn't doing what you're doing which in my last two was 1 dude.

It's absolutely not worth your time unless your time is fairly worthless to grind out energy during a KOTR. The system as-is is kinda busted.

Wait, am I reading this right that the tag team doesn't matter at all?
