Why even waste time and money making a last gen version if it's just 2k14 with a smaller roster and hilariously removed features?

Because tons of people still own the old consoles and they can fart out a half baked version of the game and make money off of it.

This is reminding me of Rob Liefeld's Captain America.

Just watched a video of new moves for this edition. I'm pretty sure most of them are just old moves with new names. Also, there were at least a half dozen where the move didn't work--the guy would leap/dive/whatever and connect with nothing.

The Graves vs Wyatt story mode match is terrible bullshit. Can't use finishers and have to make Wyatt tap, and the dude has tons of hit points, reverses often and doesn't STAY DOWN long enough to latch on a submission

I ended up just aiming for the head since Wyatt seems weaker there and it's easier to hit Graves' standing submissions, most of which target the head. His move set is pretty well geared toward submissions, tbqh. Lots of variation.

When I eventually beat Wyatt with Graves I was so relieved. The Rusev ones seem to be a pain with the whole "dont even get light damage" objectives. Being a chickenshit with Bo was fun. Sami's Moveset is fun to play as. I picked this up on the PS3 instead of Xbox because I got tired of paying for Gold after all these years.

From the official supercard forums, this is apparently the dude that came first in the last event and won the sweet ambrose cards

quote:

Now the PCC is over, lets address all the cheating accusations

As this PCC winds down, just wanted to address a few things regarding the accusations on cheating, hacking. Besides having no proof, they’re also entirely off base and incorrect. Feel free to read on or ignore.



1. Yes, my account name is Jonathan (it’s the J in my user name). I’ve mentioned this before in some of my posts very early on.

2. I buy title matches (for almost all games). Didn’t anyone notice that my point totals always seemed to end in zeros. If I accidentally misclick on a 1 or 3 point match, I either close out or I just even the score out to ending in a zero. It’s a little OCD, but whatever.

3. I’m not hacking. I play on my ipad if I am at home or my android if away.

4. It’s my account and only I play on it. Giving your account for someone else to grind is stupid. Not going to risk the chance someone deletes a card.

5. As for spending money, I have no reservations about it since I work intensive hours on the weekdays. Without it, I may as well not compete in PCC’s as I couldn’t possibly win. One poster said it well, if you’re going to dedicate a lot of time to the PCC, why wouldn’t you do everything to ensure you are in the top 5. You can always recoup money but not time. I get that it’s not always an option for some people, but I personally use it if it’s there.

6. Someone mentioned that for the second PCC, I came out of nowhere after the first day and flew by him. That’s because it started early Friday and I was at work. Anyone who looks at my scores will notice a very fast pace on the weekends but slow significantly on weekdays. I was actually 5th in the first PCC but no one noticed due to MoKai and Jyess (I was first after Saturday night but had to fly out for work and got maybe 200 points the rest of the way).

7. I tend to play in small bursts of 100 wins at a high 80% / low 90% win rate. 100 wins (with titles) = 1000 points. That’s why my point totals go up in even thousands. I like doing this because it keeps me entertained to compete against the clock to get 100 wins.

8. It takes me about 75 to 80 minutes to get 100 wins. Usually I will pile up 10-20 losses in those 100 wins so that’s about 115 games over 80 minutes. Then I take a 10-15 minute break, sometimes longer to eat, shower, …

9. I can go literally for 12-18 hours straight as I’ve always been able to get by with little sleep. That equals over 10,000 – 14,000 points in any one day. But it has to be a weekend. Fortunate on the last 2 PCC not to have to work those days as well. Not so much on the first one.

10. I always plan ahead which is why I can grind for so long. You don’t really need to concentrate on the game once you are very familiar with your lineup. I watch movies, talk on the phone, read research articles for work while I tap away.

11. It’s entirely strategic why I put up heavy point totals early. I don’t want to get into a race at the end. I would rather be ahead and wait to see if I need to grind any more. I consistently monitor the top of the leaderboards (especially 6th place) in the last day or so of the PCC, but I only play when I need to. Also, having to work makes it hard to play much.


Hope this puts all the silliness to rest. It probably won’t as I am sure they will pop up at the next PCC.

If anyone has strategy questions, happy to answer.

Jesus! Jesus Christ! Say his name! Jesus! Jesus! Come down now!

I think there's somethink kinda fishy with the multitude of Universe mode cutscenes in 2k15. It's nice that they've made the wordless story progression less opaque (when you open up a branching story, the different possibilities are mapped out in the story list). Otoh the number was never going to as impressive as it seemed because you have different combinations - face vs face, heel vs heel, turns (maybe even double turns? Hard to say) and it seems like they're probably recycling scenes and using them to describe different story events.

Example: I made a CAW and in his first universe match he squared off against a face and lost (as a face). They did the whole post-match handshake thing that's been in the games for years now, and according to the story list that scene was meant to convey that my CAW debuted against a "respectable superstar" (they have all these totally-not-kayfabe-breaking euphemisms and it's kind of adorable) who was impressed with his hustle and a burgeoning alliance has formed. I haven't confirmed they've been added to each other's ally list but I guess that's the sort of thing that can happen.

The championship category has 400-something cutscenes, but that includes tag and diva rivalries in addition to the different permutations of kayfabe alignments, as well as things like repeated rivalries and the inclusion of allies (?). Presumably there could be scenes tailored to Undertaker @ WM / MITB / Royal Rumble rivalries too. And different roster members have their own unique rivalries with unique scenes - only one mentioned at the outset is a continuation of Cena / Punk but you could probably guess a fair number of other ones too.

I do appreciate that they made Taker's Mania rivalry its own thing. He was getting matches in 2k14 but the AI just really loved pairing him with Reigns in HIAC matches. RR ended up winning the third time around.
