So here's a question about 2k15, but kind of all the WWE games on console for the last few years at least. An entrance theme takes up what on a disc? Maybe a few megs at most, right? So why the gently caress don't they just have like...every single entrance theme ever used by anyone on there? Or if you want to be a cynical businessman about it, since this new one doesn't allow custom themes, sell them as packs?

It's probably some kind of rights thing. I know in some games they don't have some themes for like Booker T or the Hardys. I can't be the only one who turns entrances off within an hour of playing, though, can I?

I'd still like the game to play "American Males" as my CAW celebrates his win.

How would they not have the rights to the Hardy's theme? It's a Jim Johnston joint isn't it? Booker I can understand maybe, because it was a WCW era thing. But you'd think anything they made in house they'd just own flat out.

LMAO, when they brought the Cybrock challenge back on iOS they didn't bother to keep track of what level you finished at last time around, so I guess I'll just stomp through it and get legendaries.

Yeah, you should be able to see how much stamina a move requires when you're looking at it on your moveset menu thing. I like to do what Basic Chunnel said and call for the finisher beforehand to build stamina as they get up, that usually guarantees it.

I haven't gotten the prompt to do a charged finisher while using a corner finisher, but maybe that's also just a stamina thing. At least now I know what to keep an eye out for.

I figured the reset was intentional. Little surprised they went with Brock again and not a new card, but I guess they have to spread these out and give people multiple chances to get one. Also apparently my lack of prizes from the last tournament was because I finished in the top ~5% (silver 4 dot thing) where some weird bug causes it to not get counted for any prizes, so maybe try not to finish there in tournaments.


At least the phantom opponent bug seems to be gone :toot:

Hardys and Bookers themes are both library music so as mentioned they get swapped out every now and then.

Whoa, in Supercard I just now realized there's a parallax effect on the Epic and higher cards. Did they add that recently or did I just catch on really late?
I think it's been there the entire time. It's not really something you'd notice easily on a phone though unless you move it a lot.

In TEW is it possible to get decent rates from TV Network deals? I'm playing a WCW mod and even as a huge company I'm still only getting like 10% of the ad revenue and have to cover 100% production.

Really? I had no idea. I assumed Bookers was a Jimmy Hart thing and the Hardy's a Johnston one.

But still, setting those aside why are the ones they own the rights to not available? They put in (or used to anyway) a ton of entrances and moves and such for guys who aren't with the company anymore, they know what people are doing with them, why not let them go all the way with the music?

I know what you mean. Every year I hope they put a generic NWO tron and music at least. They rename taunts and moves when they own the names too. I guess it's incase they come back/legends contract to encourage a purchase for the yearly update.

Woo, broke through the bronze-only Brock challenge on the second difficulty this time around. Turns out that taking down an 8,000 HP Sheamus is hard as gently caress when even this level 30 L4 Paige I have only has a third of his stats.

Feel like the silver-only challenge is going to be my next big stumbling block. Anyone know if there are any random huge Gold opponents in there?

This may or may not be correct.

I think I've heard the Hardy's music in commercials before, and even in old episodes of Top Gear. Library stuff like that gets around, but I guess if the WWE has no use for it then they wouldn't bother re-upping for it if it's just going to sit around unused. 2K might have to get that stuff separately as well, I'm not really sure how that works.

Not so far, I have 4 matches left in that challenge and the next 2 I see don't have any golds. I'll probably stall here though because it's a countdown challenge and I don't have any strong silvers.

Haha oh god. This may be the thing that finally makes me quit the game, if enough people get it.

I enjoy the game but it's just impossible for me to get ANYTHING in the special events. I can't dedicate days at a time to a phone game, I'm sorry.

Even when I do have a ton of time and really try, I can't get anywhere.

Immortals seems to be doing it right so far, I was able to get Brock with some focused effort, but without feeling like I need to play for 72 hours straight.

I was hoping it would at least be an all (or at least mostly) Divas RTG to help people out, since Divas are the hardest thing to get/pro. I could use a survivor diva as I have 4 waiting to be pro-ed, but nope... Titus O'Neill. This is going to be a slog of an event to get through.

DoctorDelaware posted:

I rarely try to go all the way anymore. It's not worth 4+ hours of my time to end up competing against someone running the exact same cards as me and possibly still only getting 1 survivor card (and a legendary power up I don't need). Now I generally try to finish 1st or 2nd in the prelims, spend 2 hours to crush the 8th place guy in the quarters and then give up in the semis. I get my 1 card and go home.

If we got 2 cards for getting to the finals but not winning I'd at least try, but I'm not going to spend 4-6 more hours to get the same thing I can get at 2 hours.

Which harder difficulty do you mean? Expert, the one with one purple bar filled? If so, the big challenge in that one is the random 8k HP silver Sheamus they drop on you for no reason in like stage 8 or something.

My strongest character in that challenge was L4 level 31 Paige, with stats of 2.3k/2.9k. Getting legendary ranks for your Bronzes is pretty cheap, and getting XP for them is fairly quick if you have them tag along on a bonus mission in the campaign and just never tag them in.

I'm just talking the tier right after the first one. Sorry can't check right now to find out the name.

But yeah I need to rank up my Bronzes I guess since all I have is one "I" or whatever you want to call it.

Yeah, not having access to golds is a real killer, because no matter how insane the enemy stats get, I can fall back on overpowered bullshit like Cena's passive or Bryan's broken second signature or Brock's 99% stunlock basic attack. I'm not sure how to replicate that type of cheating with bronze and silver characters.

I'm on the second difficulty level for the Immortals thing and I'm pretty sure I hit the wall on the bronze-only and silvers-only challenges. One signature from the AI is enough to knock out one of my characters from full health, and even if I block all of them I'm dead before I can build up any of my own.

At least I got one CyBrock though!

Okay... Keep your head, Steve boy...

I'm trying to convince myself that there is no good reason to be playing Immortals. The last set of fights in the campaign is ridiculous even with legendary III Triple H and Big Show, and the game isn't actually that fun to play anyway.

But I keep collecting coins to see if the next discount gold pack has anything worthwhile... :negative:
