So does everybody have "breakout" moves that interrupt entrances, or just a few?

They might have stored finishers? Not sure actually.

I don't even have words for how much I hate the submission system. It's so loving stupid. Either let me button mash or come up with something better than this garbage. Also, I can't find options for body hair in CAW, which is supremely annoying since the first CAW I tried to make was Zangief from Street Fighter.

There's a lot of nice little touches in the game so far, but I'm pretty goddamn miffed that I'm probably just never going to bother ever going for submissions cause I hate the system so much.

They changed it because not everyone can button mash and turbo controllers completely ruin the online mode. They just borrowed it from the UFC games.

Do the WWE games have a large online VS community? I tried it a couple times when the feature was new and then decided to never go online with a WWE game again

And it sucked in the UFC games too. I don't give a poo poo about online, hell, make it so you have to use the dumb system online, I don't care. Let me set it so I can button mash at home.

The games released around 2006/2007 (holy poo poo a decade ago) had a pretty good community, if I recall. 2K15 had an awful system for finding games though, it was basically impossible unless you got incredibly lucky. I'm only buying 2k16 once it's on PC, but from what I've seen the online matchmaking at least looks better.

Couldn't turbo controllers be reduced in effectiveness by setting a limit on how many presses register every second? They could just set the number to something humans could actually do.

And for some reason I can't use signatures or finishers against Bret Hart in Showcase? Which means I can't complete the match?

I'm liking My Career, much more right to the action this time, and I love that every interview ends with an awkward 'mhm' smile and nod because they didn't want two days of voice recording to get 'well that's that' or something.

Also how do you do run ins and breakouts in Universe, I only tinkered with it for a second but couldn't find it.

You can interfere in matches in MyCareer, right? If so can you interfere in any old match or only specific ones.

^^^Yea but you have to get through the tutorial and your first default rivalry with Breeze first. It takes a bit but you'll be able to run in and gently caress with people freely fairly soon, they just want to ease you into the whole rivals and tag team buddy system I guess.

Haha there's an interview question on if you've played the game or not and you can either be a good employee and say 'yea what kid watching WWE doesn't want to be a superstar too' or heel it up and poo poo talk the game. Kinda loving some of these interviews.

I remember in the leadup to 2k15, folks were really excited about a new career mode that wasn't just about going on a winning streak, it was about building a fan base by putting on matches with diverse spots, building feuds that the audience cared about, etc. It seemed really cool

How much, uh, how much of a disappointment did that end up being

Pretty poo poo! Luckily 16 added a lot to it and while it's not perfect by far it's much more in line with the 'this is about reaching the hall of fame and telling your story' more than 'just keep winning matches that get tweeted at you by a lady who hasn't worked for us in actual years'.

The main things I remember from 2K15's MyCareer are Bill DeMott yelling "DO YOU EVEN WANT TO BE HERE" at me and Michael Cole calling my finisher the "whatamaneuver". Also, doing taunts made the crowd hate me for some reason. I'm supposed to be a flashy luchador so showing off is what I do, you fucks :argh:

How about wrestling the WWE style. You'll never get over with all that flash

Anyway I'm Basic_chunnel on PSN if anybody wants to send their Sonics / Buff Hitlers to do run-ins in my game. One thing that was annoying about 2K15 was that it didn't seem to ever update your imported guys, so you'd end up completely outclassing them in short order. Maybe they fixed that.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu: sometimes passing just isn't an option.
You got more points by putting on matches with lots of spots and near falls. The rewards for that were the ability to purchase abilities or stats more quickly.

It was a waste.

That's what has killed me about this series - the atmosphere. I feel like the crowd and commentary don't match what is going on - everyone should be going nuts when these RKOs happen.

I saw in the trophies an achievement for finishing the bonus matches in the showcase so they're probably in there.

So far the main showcase follows KotR and on, but bonus matches are littered in throughout the timeline that you can select manually. The first one being Bash at the Beach '94 Austin vs. Steamboat.

That seems like a big oversight considering MK is doing a big crossover with Immortals currently. In any case, impressions seem to be good, so I may just have to treat myself to the game. CAW creation looks like a lot of fun this year.
