Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu: sometimes passing just isn't an option.
So I finally feel like I have a good grasp on this game, and now career mode is an absolute joke. The only match I've "lost" was one where I beat up a guy on NXT until he DQ'd due to ring out, but the game treated it as a loss and I had to beat up 3 more jobbers before getting another #1 contender's fight.

Now I have the gold belt and I'm on Raw - is it normal to go from NXT Champion to a Regal feud, then a Shield Feud (what a crappy gimmick this is BTW, who writes this poo poo now?), then into the hunt for the gold belt? Never even whiffed a tag title or lesser titles.

That's straight up cruel.

I actually expected the last two RTGs to be Diva centric, since they did one for Nikki Bella ages ago.

Maybe they're waiting for when she breaks AJ's title reign record :v:

Okay this is killing me, I have gone through every NES wrestling game that could have possibly starred Ric Flair and this isn't the sprite for him. What's really driving me crazy is this sprite is in the style of the characters from A Nightmare On Elm Street, produced by Rare and distributed by LJN. Both companies have done wrestling games, none with Flair. You guys have any idea what game this is from? It's driving me nuts, to be truthful.

Have you gone through all the NES Japanese wrestling games? How about master system games?

Yep, and the only Master System game I could find also doesn't have that sprite (WWF Wrestlemania Steel Cage Challenge)

Keep in mind this is going off the idea that's Ric Flair; it could be some knock off or someone assuming it's Flair or something...

EDIT: It's a sprite edit based off WWF Wrestlemania Challenge, which didn't have Flair. Goddamnit, I knew it was a Rare game just by the style, but to find out it was a lovely sprite edit... I was hoping Rare did a wrestling game I DIDN'T know about.

Truth didn't rap for his entrance at MITB so maybe it would be more accurate to not have it.

Balor is at least kind of surprising since he's not on the main roster yet. Can't wait to give his entrance to Big Show.

2k15's cutoff seemed to be Wrestlemania, so I imagine he'll be in. If I had to guess, the NXT roster will be:

Balor
Owens
Itami
Zayn
Breeze
Sasha
Charlotte
Neville (wouldn't be surprised if he has outdated attire and entrance)

So your letdown exclusions would probably be Becky and the Dubsteppers.

I like using the song injector, plus this guy's thread of already-converted themes: http://forums.2k.com/showthread.php?2013286-Sound-Replacer-Song-Conversion-Requests

Also there are threads like this one that have the trons: http://forums.2k.com/showthread.php?1813766-All-Fully-Updated-Graphics-John-Cena-Added

So I just use CAWs plus stuff like that to keep things updated. It's a bit of a hassle but I don't mind tinkering with this stuff.

The CAWs I've seen so far on PC are ok but not great. I've definitely seen better stuff on consoles in previous years.

I knew full well what I was getting, and it was fine so long as there was some illusion of progression. Without that, gently caress it, the Final Fantasy mobile game at least pelts you with new stuff to do.

Other than the striped down CAW mode, how does 2K15 really stack up to 2K14? I was somewhat satisfied with 2K14. Granted, most of it was due to the CAW community...but it seems they made gameplay improvements in 2k15?

Yeah, this. Just as a casual player I feel like 2k14 was a more completetotal package that offered generally better stuff and kind of wish that one was ported to PC instead, but I love me some old wrestling so the inventory of dudes from the '80s and early '90s does weigh me towards 2k14 even discounting the other parts that were dropped.

The actual gameplay in 2k15 is better. The creative suite took a huge hit and the single player stories suck compared to 13s and 14s.

It's worth about $20 if you like wrestling games, but now 2k16 is coming out in 16 weeks.

I know, I was responding to the sentiment that 2k16 would be out soon. Maybe not so "soon", hence PC users might not wanting to wait if they see a 2k15 sale.

It's not a bad game if you can get it for cheap. I mean it's not great by any means, but I am able to scrape fun out of almost any wrestling game so I don't regret buying it.

I'm not touching the storyline mode though. I really don't want to relive 2011 WWE booking, ugh.
