Did they take out the Create-An-Arena mode from previous games? Most of those are just a new ring apron on an existing set.

There is one mod, I'm not sure which one, where the arenas are recreated in size and scope as well. ROH is in a gym, ECW is in the Hammerstein Ballroom, LU is on a soundstage, etc. Roomie is running them on his PC. They look pretty dope.

Yeah they say it's a Beta and they're working on it still.

The ECW arena is hilarious, it's this tiny arena but it glitches with some entrances so guys float to the ring like 10 feet above the ground.

If these games are never gonna be good again I think 2K should just have Yukes leave in bugs and add them. Exploiting WWE 12's bugs was the last time I had fun with a new wrestling game.

Last update I heard not only are they going to fix that, they're going to make the beginning part of the entrance ramp look like a backstage area so you stop getting that thing where certain entrances show this arena behind you as your character moves toward the actual curtain.

Seems like Supercard has upped the reward for winning Ring Domination matches from 2 picks to 3. At this point though it's already screwed over anyone wanting for a Zayn pair, and you'll likely still need to double the whole way to get the top reward.

Dumb question regarding Supercard: I deleted it ages ago, and I don't intend to download it again. What I'm wondering is what have they done with cards for guys like ADR or Rey? Are they still available, or did they just retire the characters?

They haven't retired any cards but Rey/Alberto haven't shown up again on new released cards

AJ Lee was one of the Wrestlemania-level fusions, though. Thought that was kinda weird.

I guess with the retirement thing they're sure she won't be off working for another company any time soon and so don't worry as much about it. They're not afraid to bring her up on tv either

Yeah, there's some talk (though may be mostly fans thinking this) that they're having Nikki keep the Divas belt so long specifically to break her record, but beyond that there doesn't seem to be any ill will as with Punk. She left when her contract expired and is not competing with or badmouthing them, so they'll happily keep making money off her image.

They have said nothing but good things about AJ since she retired, and have mentioned her on the air many times since. It was an amicable split.

So the venerable Fire Pro club website closed down about a week or two ago, and as of right now, Fire Pro Arena is down too. The former is a permanent closing from what I read at Arena, and Arena being down is new to me. Hopefully its temporary, because I cant think of many other places to get big edit packs.

Arena goes down occasionally, absolute worst case scenario is probably out until the end of the month

Yeah it's fine, if your machine can run it. My computer has no problem running anything except for this one loving game.

There's lots of stuff that annoys us longtime followers of the series, but I still have fun with it so I'm sure you'd get $16 worth of enjoyment from it.

I'm just a sick guy, I'm really just a dirty guy.
I just bought WWE 2k15. I won the NXT Title in like a month in mycareer and was told I had to defend it every week for 4 weeks. I got myself dq'd every match and immediately got moved up to the main roster. good game

Boy, I think it's about time I tell you the difference between a man and a woman. A woman isn't a woman unless she's pretty. And a man isn't a man unless he's ugly.
This was posted on the F4W forums:

"A MAJOR non wrestler will be in the new 2k16 game. It may surprise a few people. Commercial was shot 2 weeks ago with this person. Yes the game has something like 100+ characters this year, no its not an inflated number by adding the multiple versions of HHH, Taker, Rock and so on, though there are a few current roster stars that didn't make the cut which they are not too happy about either."

So it's either Arnold or Floyd.

Floyd would be a sensible choice, and he was in a good match and a fun angle so there's obvious ways to use him. I'm kinda tempted by 2k15 at ~£12, with all those DLC showcases there's probably a decent chunk of content even if I don't really plan to play online or mod it hugely

In a shocking twist, instead of getting its own sequel the entire roster of EA Sports UFC has been added to WWE 2K16 and that's why there's over 100 people in it.

I haven't touched any of the showcases, are any of them good? For the most part it sounds terrible, my brother is playing through the Cena/Punk one and it's just match after match with a bullshit DQ finish.

Why would anyone want to play through modern WWE booking?

I feel like they perfected the mode with the Attitude Era one. You had a good mix of historic matches and random Raw matchups, they mixed up who you played as, it was fun almost from start to finish.

Unless they're introducing intergender matches then I doubt it'll be Floyd.

I wonder if "non wrestler" in this case means "someone in wrestling but not an actual in-ring competitor"

Basically I'm wondering if we're finally getting playable Mean Gene
