I'd say they're basically on the same level. Supercard is a skinner box and hardly a game, but 2k15 is actively bad and makes me think that the developers hate not only their job, but the people who bought the game.

Speaking of spending more money on 2k15, the Mark Henry Showcase mode DLC comes out Tuesday so you can unlock the same two 2011 versions of Orton, Sheamus, and Henry along with a 2nd 2011 Smackdown stage. Also you get brand new character The Great Khali!!

Honestly, Supercard is 2 features away from being the greatest mobile game of all time:

1) Your win/loss record includes your defensive record.

and

2) Chat.

Think about it.

This may or may not be correct.

4) An option to disable animations. Watching playing cards hopping around like they're in a bad toothpaste commercial was entertaining for about five minutes. I'd happily settle for anything quicker and simpler at this point, like the progress bar thing in old Smackdown games that appeared when you simulated matches without actually watching them.

IIRC the animations are apparently a deliberate stalling tactic to keep people from rushing through too fast (because you could probably blitz through things if those were off)

I liked that last-gen game that dumped you into a freeform training mode on startup. 2010 I think? That was something I'd expect of a Real Videogame rather than yearly iterative WWE title.

So if I'm remembering right, that was... 4 games into the console cycle? Yikes. And I forget if the actual gameplay was good. I know I played it a lot though. :shobon:

This hardware gen should get up and running more quickly as there's less of a gap between PS4/One and PS3/360 than there was between the PS3/360 and the PS2 (the GameCube and Xbox lines of games being dead) and the PS4 and One are much easier to develop simultaneously, compared to the last generation where the PS3's fucky Cell processor buggered everyone about. Texture scanning and motion capture have all become much better and faster, too, though also more expensive.

With a good developer and a good publisher, there's no reason why 2k16 wouldn't be fantastic. But, well. We're not that fortunate.

Today in "Abandon All Hope, Ye Who Want a Third Copy of Cybrock in this Challenge", I've reached stage 12 on the 5th mission (the one that requires Cena). I can confirm that the 13th mission contains a 36k/49k Triple H, a 27k/51k Roman Reigns, and a 27k/130k Cena.

I've seen so many teams with three low-level Legendary VII golds online that I now understand how all of these Mobile games make tons of money.

For those who haven't done the numbers, a Legendary VII gold costs about 1.6 million WWE money, so a trio costs 4.8 million.

At 100 bucks for about a million, a team of three Legendary VII golds costs 500 bucks, and even more if they upgraded moves/gear to max.

He's said he's not making a game this year. So I'd pick up '13 given there's no guarantee a TEW game is his next one.

I was playing that post-Montreal Screwjob TEW mod as ECW. I had enough time to run 4 tv shows and a PPV, but then it dropped me down in size from Cult to Regional.

I think I figured out why it did that though... the mod maker set ECW to be 50 popular across the US, but only gave them TV in two areas. So my popularity would drop in areas I didn't run & didn't have TV.

At least that's my best guess. I am trying another time where I've given myself a TV deal across the US, we'll see if that does any better.

Yay! Since there's no chance in hell I'm getting the survivor HHH on the next PCC (since nobody is going to choose Roman) I only have to aim to rank 30,000th for some epics for the fusion chamber. I think I can swing that.

I have no idea why anyone would pick Roman. All the under-cards are better on Bryan's side (Sting, Rock & Cena). There's absolutely no incentive to pick Roman's team, knowing that you're going to lose to the masses picking Bryan.

I had an interesting Supercard match today. I ran into someone running Survivor Pro Fusion Roman, Nikki & Ambrose. Considering that one dude paid $300 to have a single Fusion Cena on day one that means this person must have spent somewhere in the area of $1,500-$2,000 to get those cards. That's loving retarded. I mean I'll drop $12-$20 dollars during RTG sometimes on title matches and poo poo like that, but that's a far cry from thousands of dollars just to have cards first.

In other Supercard news, I'm basically at the point now where I can only grow my deck through fusions, or RTG. I have enough male Survivor pros/RTG Pros to make a full RTG team. My Diva's team isn't 100% great (RTG Nikki, Suvivor Pro Nattie, Legendary Pro AJ & Survivor Brie) but it's not bad enough for me to warrant running a bunch of KOTR in hopes of getting more Diva pros.

My male survivor pros are just going to get replaced with RTG Pros as time progresses so there's no reason to try and get the better survivor pros. And now KOTR is overrun with 3 person teams of RTG Batista, Sting & Nikki which makes trying to win pointless. Luckily I got lucky last week and picked up 3 survivor cards I could pro (long hair Jericho, Titus & Fandango) because after this weekend I have no desire to compete in KOTR for a while.

So I guess it's just farming KOTR for fusion fodder for the next little while until I have reason to start doing it again (a new card tier?)

Now I've got a decision to make with stupid card game. My legendary fusion will finish tonight, and I have to choose whether or not to go for Survivor. I only have five Survivor cards, but I'm pretty sure a solo Survivor Fusion would be better than any of them. Plus, there's the outside chance I can get a Survivor Pro out of this, while KotR is looking less and less likely (I failed to make the brackets in my last KotR, and I might not make it this time either.)

So, do I:

1. stand pat and pray to make the 2nd round of a KotR bracket, then pray I get something that matches what I've got,

2. burn a Survivor for a shot at an upgrade (probably my maxed solo Layla or untrained solo Brie, as I'm working on my 4th Legendary Pro Diva), or

3. delete this bullshit game and walk away forever? (The obvious, and correct, choice...but I'm not going to do it, because I'm stupid.)

I await your advice, wise goons.

Burn Layla. Her pro is poo poo and loses to pretty much every Diva that isn't Eva Marie. A maxxed survivor (non-pro) fusion will be better than any Legendary pro card you may have, and if you're lucky you'd get Nikki which will replace the lovely diva you burned. Only thing that could gently caress you up is if you get the support card, which is actually pretty awesome, but probably not what you need at this point.

EDIT: Also delete game...

I think I'm gonna finish training up my "B-team" cards in KOTR before I mess around with fusion. Are there "recipes" that produce specific fusion results, or is it all random? It it always better to throw non-pro cards in there? Like I've been wondering if there are certain fusions that require pro cards, or fusion cards in non-fusion slots.

completely random. And all it does is look a rarity, not the level of the card or if it's a pro. That doesn't effect anything. So throw your shittiest cards into the fusion factory.
