Does anyone play WMMA? I kinda like it, but I'm mainly just booking cards and advancing a week or two at a time. I'm not sure if I'm missing something

You don't get match boosts from being wailed on (probably a balance issue), however you will gain a significant amount of star wattage from late-match pin kickouts. I can't tell exactly what the "bolded" part of the kickout meter is supposed to give you if you hit it but I assume it's either extra momentum or match rating juice. Also, making kickouts advance momentum was a smart move, they put a lot of thought into how to make matches less one-sided. The real advantage to the reversal limit is that it prevents the game from breaking completely when you've mastered reversal timing.

Watching Extreme Rules in Universe Mode, Sheamus (c) vs. Stardust for the US Title. Cole in game: Listen to the WWE Universe! It's reactions like that that have Superstars enjoying coming to Baltimore! Me, watching the game: The display card said Tampa, you idiot!

Hitting that seems to make you get up at the same time as the guy with the pin attempt, where just hitting the darker area has them get up and able to inflict more pain on you.

Oh, poo poo I meant to ask! Is it any easier to make old-looking people in 2k16, or do you still need to upload a face texture to get wrinkles?

You forgot the parts where everyone swears it'll still be poo poo next year so they won't buy it, and then gets fooled by exactly 2 "new" features hyped next year, and then buys it, repeat

Yukes really needs to dump showcase mode and put all that effort into animating new moves by hand, making the gameplay fun again and ripping off the better parts of Raw 2's career mode (like dropping boxes on enemies and tricking Crash Holly into beating up the Undertaker)

I didn't play the last couple generations, has switching targets in the middle of a 'stun somebody, rebound, and hit the move' finisher always been a thing? I had both members of the Ascension down and Warrior splashed the wrong one, then a few hours later this happened.

I had hoped we were done with the phase in these games where you got cheevos by jobbing, and now jobbing is a thing you have to do all the time. Imagine literally any other game regularly telling you that you have to lose in order to progress.

Plus when you refuse to do the order, it's like your wrestler is breaking the script. Imagine video game Vince losing his poo poo in video game gorilla

There is no scenario where losing on purpose in a video game to get a bonus is not dumb.

Actually having a game whose selling point is "you can be a wrestler" and then being told you have to be a good little independent contractor and put over the golden boy is extremely good. WWE 2K16 and even Wrestling Revolution understand this. Also how do you feel about unwinnable bosses in RPGs or the end of Halo Reach or etc.

I never knew that if you have two finishers stored in a rumble and approach someone trying to eliminate someone else that if you use it you instantly eliminate them both. I bet that it's been in a few games and I just missed it.

quote:unwinnable bosses in RPGs Have always been garbage quote:or the end of Halo Reach or etc. Substantively different than being asked to stomp a guy with every move you have (the only barometer of whether a match gets five snowflakes in this game) and then actually lose on purpose for him--substantively different than any of your comparisons--because "realism" according to goons On top of everything else, "I can't wait to experience WWE's amazing godawful booking that makes everyone look bad as if I were really there," said no one ever. Or am I to take it that the Stockholm Syndrome of wrestling fans has actually gotten so bad that you actually enjoy jobbing for Triple H?

being asked to lose in a game like wwe 16 is dumb because every other part of the game mechanics point to it acting more like a real competition. being asked to lose only makes sense if the mechanics are literally about setting up an entertaining match and not trying to actually pin or submit your opponent

I bet that it's been in a few games and I just missed it. I don't know if you still can, and the AI over the last few years rarely has two guys try for an elimination on one guy at the same time, but at least in a relatively recent one, for a certain amount of finishers you could dump all three of them at once.

You can also just NOT lose the match if you want. The sp bonuses aren't all that good in the long run. Reminder: this is also the game that gives you the option to join the Hall Of Fame by being a perpetual midcarder, so who gives a poo poo.
