CopywrightMMXI: Jun 1, 2011; One time a guy stole some downhill skis out of my jeep and I was so mad I punched a mailbox. I'm against crime, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.

SR ADR shows up a lot as well.

I actually have two of him from random draws and can't decide if I even want to train him up or just hope I get something better from kotr. Speaking of which I made another cinderella 8 seed run to the finals and got...2 UR Sandow. Another one I don't want to even train up :negative:

I grind away any ADR's I find out of principle, I hate all his photos :colbert:

Nothing on iOS yet, but there was a message about a Champions Challenge in September. Looks a major update is happening this week,

So we can bet on wrestling in a safe environment? I'm all aboard. I also assume this is for Raw and PPVs, because Smackdown spoilers would be cheating.

Nah, I think it's like "HBK v UNDERTAKER" and you pick a side and then exhibition wins count for your side and then the winning side gets cards.

I would play KotR if it weren't for the fact I can't turn off the stupid notifications on my Android. I don't need to be awoken at 4am every night to be told "hints."

Long press on the notification and uncheck the 'Notifications' box on the screen that comes up. This goes for any app.

Regardless, every other app has notification settings inside the actual app menu. No excuse why they don't include it for this one.

I can still hoard picks on Android.

And I came on to ask how many picks I can hoard: I don't have anything worth leveling, and I'd rather hoard picks to be able to pull up 5 stamina refills on demand for KOTR (and get a set of dupes) than draw normally in the hopes of getting ~~something good~~ ANOTHER loving TOUGHNESS BOOST.

e: Common SRs talk: I also have Pro SR Andre and ADR. (Plus two SR Edges that I haven't leveled yet, but they came from KOTR.) I see a lot of SR Big Shows, but for some reason not a lot of Pro SR Big Shows.

DoctorDelaware: Mar 24, 2013

I hope they don't take away pick hoarding. It actually makes the brackets of KOTR manageable.

Also: I'm now curious if I can make it all the way to Legendary without drawing a single Diva card higher than Rare. (I'm at Epic+ right now, and that'll get a boost once I finish training the pair of Epic ADRs I just got.)

Fun thing I learned today; in Exhibition mode, if you end up with a 3-3 tie, you still get two picks.

WWE 2k15 Achievement and Trophies have "leaked" and there are 3 NXT themed ones and apparently a NXT mode? Pictures show at least Adrian Neville and Sami Zayn in game models. So good job just letting that info sit there 2K.

# ? Sep 15, 2014 23:51

pressedbunny: May 31, 2007; To A Brand New Galaxy

Nah, they confirmed NXT being in ages ago. It's part of the career mode, where you start out in NXT and work your way up. They didn't confirm any particular people at the time, but given that Neville, Zayn and Paige's movesets were added in last year as DLC, and there was an NXT arena skin and belts, it was always pretty much a given that NXT would have some kind of presence in this year.

So if the last-gen 2k15 versions don't have the career modes what's the default "campaign"? Is it another classic match marathon?

# ? Sep 15, 2014 23:58

Big Coffin Hunter: Aug 13, 2005

Yeah, both versions have a marathon of classic matches. This one is based on all the major matches in the Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels feud from 2002-2004 and the John Cena vs. CM Punk feud between 2011-2013.

Well, most certainly the HHH vs HBK mode, the Punk vs. Cena is a little up in the air because Punk is suing WWE due to royalties, and his removal from the game may be on the cards.

Otherwise they say more rivalries will be added by DLC, I believe.

Okay I'm addicted to Supercard now after one day of playing and have a bunch of questions about Supercard because this poo poo is surprisingly hard to google:

1) I'm not shooting myself in the foot by just constantly doing exhibitions and upgrading my cards, am I? My understanding is "no", since the division I'm in appears to be determined by the current strength of my deck, not my number of wins or such.
2) Speaking of the division I'm in - is the filled amount of the bar determined by raw stat totals, or by rarity/level? E.g. Rare Rock is much stronger than Rare Justin Gabriel at the same level, does he also fill up the bar more?
3) Is it a legit strategy to have 4 badasses on my team and then 1 clown who's there to lower the overall deck strength so I can have those 4 badasses without moving up a division? I feel like it might be too risky in KotR, given that there's a good chance that that clown will get random-picked and auto-lose a match.
4) When people talk about "pick hoarding", does that refer to saving up a bunch of picks before a KotR starts, building a deck that's right at the edge of the division's strength, and then spending a shitload of picks to drive your KotR strength past what would normally be allowed?

Thank you goons in advance for bearing with me.

1) Play as much as you want, it doesn't affect anything. (yet? seems to be a ladder coming)

2) Raw stats, Rare Rock fills more than Rare Justin Gabriel.

3) You can, it works, but you might get bored doing it. KotR is a bad place to try that unless you're downgrading your bench to stay in Ultra Rare or something.

4) Pick hoarding is more about people saving picks because they don't currently have any cards they want to level and/or they want to save potential Energy picks for during KotR when they have less than 5/5.

Just won my first KotR tonight! Got a pair of UR Rybacks and another SR Briefcase. Not ideal, but very exciting!

Also I'm stoked that Paige is gonna be in the game. My friend is forcing me to watch Total Divas with him and while my Pro SR Cameron wins matches, I loving want to stab her in the face. It would be nice to have a likable Diva who can actually wrestle instead of her.

Came in second in KOTR and got a pair of SR Yokozuna. Which I would be fine with if he had blue triangles. Maybe I should start trying to level up both a blue and yellow deck, just for variety. So I can stop looking at the stupid Miz.
