I want to slap the poo poo out of whoever decided that you can't turn off chain grappling in mycareer mode. The only thing more infuriating then that is the kickout system since that doesn't seem to work quite right.

The chain grappling doesn't bother me too much, but maybe that's cause I'm playing a heel who starts off every match by tossing his opponent outside and brawling.

What's the deal with these funny-looking cards in the SuperCard catalogue? Thick frame with a starfield background, and they show up from Ultra tier onward. Another fusion-esque gimmick? Or just new cards available for drawing?

I think they're cards in buy-only packs, not available to pull

I don't think there was an announcement; they just showed up in the store one day. Which is pretty weird, since you'd think they'd heavily promote pay-only stuff.

Immortals has Cyborg Brock for the challenge again. One requires Paige to be on your team, but it doesn't register Evolved Paige. Nice work.

I believe they're doing some kind of Twitter vote to decide which event gets run this weekend, PCC or RTG.

I hope it's PCC, because I'm moving on Friday.

Same, I'm gonna be out all weekend

The throwback stuff looks cool in a beat to poo poo old trading card way, but the prices are insane and there's no way to get it other than buying so it might as well not exist - there's no good reason to buy unless you want to spend 1500 credits on a vanity champion avatar, as the chances of getting a pair are laughable. I don't like that they seem to be better than regular cards up to WM tier as its straight up pay 2 win, but luckily the prices are so high that noone is trying it.

I don't even see the option to buy them anywhere. Do you just have to buy a pack in that tier and hope you get lucky?

It's funny how stingy they are with the currency in Supercard. I don't think I've played a F2P game that only gives out currency when they gently caress up something.

Seems throwback packs were limited time and are no longer in the store, another weird mystery of their monetisation strategy.

Business-wise it's actually a great idea to put out limited edition timed packs, that way you get people whaling hard trying to get the cards they want before they "go away forever" or whatever. It's a pretty standard move.

But I don't remember seeing a single popup or anything about them, so that's just about the worst implementation you could do.

Looks like RtG won. Luckily for me, Neville is 'just' a right arrow. can't figure out the theme of this one.

E: damnit they made him a down arrow, now it's marginally more annoying

I can't puzzle out the theme either. I'm happy that Barrett is the standard WM card, because I got him off a board pull a while back, so I'll have my first WM pro.

can't you though? in the sliders there's an option to turn down chain grappling length and it specifically says that if you put it at 0 it disables chain wrestling

My Career ignoring camera cut & hud settings is the most obnoxious. Every single match, got to bring the options up and switch them. It just screams "we only did the most basic level of bug testing". The lack of effort is palpable.

I'm annoyed at Bo Dallas being the Survivor, because I don't want the two I already have.

The closest I can figure is that NXT is the theme--Barrett, Fandango, and O'Neil were on the "competition" version; Dallas, Neville, and Harper were part of the "proper wrestling show" version; Kidd and Cesaro had high-profile stints down there. Not quite sure where RVD and Cena fit in...but I think Rob had a match, and maybe Cena's presence is due to his feud with Owens. Or something.

Wow so after all this time I just realized that you only get the daily log in rewards in Supercard if you actually click on the cards.

I had mine maxed out for ages just sitting there wasting time :smith:

Yes, but at least for now they have to replace existing assets and some require third-party tools to install.
