does my career let you integrate CAWs as NPCs and/or add other brands like universe mode

I feel like they promised that last year, with the tweets. then only six of them showed up throughout your entire career and you weren't on 9 PPVs a year

If you can't punch an interviewer then it's not Mass Effect style

Now you too can know what it's like to have Kane and the Big Show do a run in during your match.

I was just about to gripe about not being able to be a tag team in career mode, but it turns out you sorta can -- or at least get into tag team feuds.

It would be neat, though, to be a tag team the whole way through.

Neat. I was wondering what they would be doing for the period not-WWF portions of it.

Given what has been done in the past, the only thing I was wondering was how awful Cole & JBL would be calling an ECW match from 1995

Yeah, but in a WWE My Career, that would last a whole, what, 3 months? Then the game would break you up and one of you would be let go.

in the PS4 and PC versions, probably Xbone too, if you had friends who had the game and had MyCareer CAWs they'd pop up in that mode during the NXT part. Probably more too, but I never saw the rest of the one stream of it by newLegacy

Out of curiosity, for anyone who has the next gen 2k15. Is there still a two firework display limit in create an entrance? One of the few fun things about Raw 2 on the original X-Box was slowing the game down to a crawl with pyro during entrances.

I think WWE 2k16 is going to be fairly cool and I'll be looking forward to picking it + all its DLC up for cheap in spring even if the lack of Hogan and four horsewomen is disappointing.

Yeah but he won't be bodyscanned all beef jerky-like. Probably won't have the awesome shirt-ripping intro either.

On a similar note all the Kurt Angle CAWs for 2k15 are loving awful. Literally all of them are just the default face bald guy. Some don't even bother to fix his skin tone.

Hogan CAW are always far more honest about his hairline than the official model, so its a wash.

Shirt ripping was next gen only. Most of the people that made caws probably didn't move over to next gen because a lot of it was lacking big time.

There's been some good ones. The Matt Hardy I have looks like Matt Hardy, and there's...this



but nobody seems to have put any effort into a decent Kurt Angle.

I'm looking forward to lingering for 20 minutes trying to decide which of the 4 awful pre-scripted lines to give Renee in reply to her asking what my reaction is to being ambushed by Heath Slater and Fandango.

The recorded lines for NBA 2K15 career mode are so bad, they're hilarious. At least the WWE guys are used to cutting promos and such, so they shouldn't sound so awkward.

I mean they'll still be bad of course.

You know, the animations leave something to be desired, but I really like how the developers of this made it so you can hit your finisher from multiple places. Would really add something to the 2K series

If there's one thing that sports games have taught me it's that license exclusivities are loving poison. Unless you're one of the big two (Fire Pro or 2k WWE) your game isn't going to sell at all because you're not allowed to actually use recognizable wrestlers or promotions, so the closest you can get to any variety is low-effort pap like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AIH28G2YRo

EA having exclusive rights to NFL and 2k being the only developer allowed to make NBA games also completely killed the arcadey sports game genre and it's a loving crime.

All I know is that it's been five years since an NBA Jam title and I'm sure that's the reason.

The last NBA Jam game sold for poo poo and wasn't very good so they didn't make another one, there's no license exclusivity thing. They should be spending their time on another NBA Street anyway.

Your favorite furry wrestler.
I just found out that entrances in 2K16 actually happen without delay so when one wrestler is in the ring it doesn't immediately fade out, go to a loading screen, and then load the next entrance animation. It's all seamless. And that's pretty awesome. Come on PC release...
