pressedbunny posted:The last game had some audio taken from broadcasts—Cena talking on the ramp, Paige's scream, etc—and it sticks out so badly it's worse than a studio recording. You don't notice it when it's part of a TV show, but the difference in sound quality between broadcast recordings and the audio you're used to coming from a game is too great to use. Reverb might help, but for me it's more in the performance. It's got to be a huge difference mentally between belting it out in front of 10,000+ people in an arena and doing in front of a single audio tech in a tiny room. Everyone just sounds so bored and uninterested.

The problem with the announcing is The Fink isn't 25 years younger and doing it all himself.

Meanwhile I just accidentally had Cactus Jack win the AWA World Title from Ricky Steamboat, because apparently my plan for an interference based gently caress finish ending in a count out somehow let the title change hands. Lesson learned about booking like WWE...

Well then what the hell 2K, bring back country music to the soundtrack!!! Edit: Does anyone else have trouble booking National promotions in TEW? I find the game expects too much to maintain or gain popularity, wanting every single A-show to be rated at least 80% or whatever is a pain in the rear end. It would be nice if there was some flexibility, like if you have 3 sub-80 shows in a row THEN you take a popularity hit. You should be able to have a bad show without an immediate drop in popularity. triplexpac fucked around with this message at 18:45 on Aug 14, 2015 |

triplexpac posted:Well then what the hell 2K, bring back country music to the soundtrack!!! It's pretty annoying. But at least the game really only grades on angles + main event + not having a disastrous 2nd from the top match I usually just throw some good workers in a 1 v 1 main event with a clean finish and then do what I want with the rest. I do wish popularity in general was more gradual. It always feels like a nice fairly realistic climb up from the bottom, and then once you get to high cult level or so it's just random fluctuations between the game viewing you as current RoH or Early Hulk Hogan ERA WWF in popularity. That said I did just immediately drop from national to cult in my current game despite having B B+ B shows. I guess wrestling isn't popular enough for WWF, AWA, and WCWA to all be National in size...so now we're all cult!

Marquis de Pyro posted:It's pretty annoying.

I can't even imagine getting to a Global level. I got ECW to National, and both WWF and WCW dropped in popularity enough that they're on my level. You'd have to do consistent 90%+ shows to maintain Global, I assume. Seems impossible. Maybe it's the mod's fault?

I think it's a lot easier if you're doing a pure work rate based fed, I have way more trouble with more realistic ones. In my 1990s AJPW type promotion I easily stayed Global just by having my top guys wrestle in the main events every show and rolling out A after A after A. My PPVs would easily be A* (tip: if you have the money, waste it on all of the bonus poo poo like celebrities, throw that and a good main event in and you're golden) But with crappier workers it's so much harder. One guy loses some overness and suddenly your main event is a C+ and you drop 50 ranks in popularity over night. Now that I'm stuck with Cactus Jack (the 1990 Cactus Jack at that) as my world champ it's basically impossible to get above a B- unless he's facing someone he has great chemistry with. And a B- is an instant 'lost popularity in 16 regions' for me at this point. It's definitely a challenge. If you want to actually be creative and do fun things with your booking you almost have to settle for being a smaller promotion....which may actually be shockingly realistic.

Was the Wii version of 2k13 the only 2k- game that had just wrestler themes? Honestly I always preferred that since it hilariously dated the games; I liked going back, hearing "NO WAY AAAUAUUUUGUHHHH" and chuckling at the memory of David Otunga being around.

You can use classic/gamecube controllers with them so it's just like playing a graphically inferior version of the PS360 games  Big Coffin Hunter posted:do you mash buttons by banging your controller against a table? Repeatedly pressing buttons fast, especially at the frequency you'd need to to escape pins, tends to hurt your hands. I didn't think this is something that would need explaining but here we are.
