I seriously can't get the submission system in this game. I agree that the button mashing was too easy in the earlier games, but this is insane. I keep reading all of these different strategies online about tricking the AI in to a pattern and it's like, if I have to look up "strategies" or trick the AI, then the thing is broken. I've been playing the Mania 13 showcase where I have to make Austin submit. I spend 20 minutes smashing his legs with a baseball bat and then put him in 3 consecutive sharpshooters. Every time, he gets out. It's like his bar is input reading mine.

Uh... just go the opposite way to the AI? If it's going clockwise, you go counter clockwise, and try and keep their bar in yours as long as possible, but don't freak out if they don't stay in. I think people believe you need to keep their bar in yours at all times when that's not how it works at all. I rarely have trouble tapping out the AI. I've been tapped out a few times because their bar's huge and mine moves like molasses, but if I'm on the offensive it's not difficult, but not easy.

coconono posted:its so silly they boast the biggest roster but the game booking has you face off against the same guy each week. It got to the point in MyCareer where I'd grab a chair and eat the DQ just to speed through a feud. Somehow that turned me face. Funny part is that it's not a feud, it'd just how the ranking system works. The Smackdown matches are apparently the matches that are set up by the ranks and not your feuds, but when you go to the top, the number 2 never changes. For me it was Wade Barrett, and so every week, I just put on a five star match of apron ddt's and pentagon jr. armbreakers. It's made me think it would be loving hilarious if they did this in the real product. Just every smackdown for a year, two guys keep getting booked for the same match, and go slowly insane from it. Never let the announcers or the authority mention it, but the wrestlers themselves are screaming at the fans about how trapped they are. They turn heel against each other, slowly reconcile to have fun comedy matches, but by the end it's just two worn out husks of men waiting to be freed. And then Kane and Big Show arrive at the end to put a bullet in them each. Why am I still fighting Wade Barret

Google around, it's not like I'm the only person that's having issues with this. It's a moronic system that requires weird reverse logic to beat.

You'd think it would be something the devs would notice right away and work to fix, but obviously that's not the case. I wonder if it's some deep, fundamental issue that they aren't able to fix without a massive overhaul somewhere in the game.

Well I finally tapped Austin out (with an abdominal stretch lmao). I definitely "get" the submission system now, the key is rhythmic movement that forces the AI back in to your red bar. Even though I think I can do it regularly now, it's still a dumb loving system.

Is there no reason they couldn't do the same kind of system for submissions that they already have for pins? Just make the timing window longer & the sweet spot easier to hit when you are rested, and as you're more worn down make it harder.

It wasn't quite the same thing as the current kickout system because you didn't have to hold any buttons, just needed to stop the ball at the sweet spot to break out. Some of the submissions also had other, smaller sweet spots for reversing them.

Nah, Hideo didn't get involved at all. I was expecting him to, since his friendship with Hideo is why I targeted him in the first place, but nothing happened. I'll see what's up when the next PPV comes around I guess?

I think the game is fine. It's definitely rough, the devs definitely do not understand why the best wrestling games are so beloved, and some models are horrible (Did they not get the rights to Whipwreck's appearance?). I LOVE the little things like multiple attires, auto-managers, and the little animations. That said, it's fine. It's not No Mercy, it's not SVR 06. But it's also not Backyard Wrestling, SVR 08, or TNA Impact. There's room for improvement which probably won't happen, but I'll buy the Season Pass when it gets a discount in a few months and peer pressure HulkaMatt to get it so we can try and find glitches with KungFuGrip like the good ol' days of 4 years ago

Though yeah this year actually looks slightly promising, I hope that some of the ideas get a proper follow-up. But that'd almost be a first for the series.

AFAIK developmental workers progress the same way as any other, by working. So your best bet is to make your farm fed a touring promotion since they'll put on more frequent shows. Also, the size of the fed influences its drawing power and thus the length of its cards, so if you're making one from scratch you'll want to pump as much money as possible into it to maximize the number of matches per card and the experience gained.

I have yet to play an EC match that didn't end with someone getting caught in the geometry of the cage and getting catapulted out onto the ramp. I once tried to do the "Pod People" OMG moment and ended up spearing them through the barricade outside of the cage instead, stranding us both.

Had an Elimination chamber match where three wrestlers pinned at the exact same time, and the ref froze (presumably because the AI didn't know who to count out). So it was just six guys, stuck in their pins, forever.

Touring is the best option however workers will still improve even when not booked on a show. They will still improve quicker when they are wrestling on as many shows as possible but it seems the best way to improve is to have high quality trainers.

Just got 2K16 and have been playing it pretty consistently. I skipped 2K15, so I'm not sure how much of this is new, but first impressions: * The matches are indeed slower. Not good or bad, just takes getting used to. * ...but part of getting used to it is getting frustrated in Career mode when I waste reversals because my timing is off. I typically have fewer reversals than my opponent anyway, and that puts me in a big hole. * Career mode is slow. SP costs are high, some things that shouldn't need to be bought are behind the fake money wall (top-rope moves? really?) and the cool things about it are kind of overshadowed. * Figured I'd just throw myself into Universe Mode instead, but I'm currently out of downloads. Doesn't help that I figured "counter will reset" meant "counter will reset," not "counter will only go up by one." * I'm still poo poo at making CAW appearances. Overall, I'm enjoying it, and I feel like it was worth $30 to upgrade from 2K14. But it feels quite a bit slower than 2K14 did, both in matches and otherwise.

I skipped 2K15, so I'm not sure how much of this is new, but first impressions: I have it for the PS3, so no My Career mode for me, but what I have done is made my own in Universe mode, and it does kind of work out. I've set up three promotions, a local, a regional, and a national. Basically, all the NXT guys and a few of the jobbers are in the local. The regional is made up of midcarders. And the national is all the main eventers. I started my CAW in the local, and so far it seems to work out pretty well. Eight months in he slowly moved up the ranks until the game finally put him a feud for the midcard title, and now he's about set to have a rivalry for the heavyweight title. I have draft mode on, so I'm hoping that after Mania, he may get moved to one of the other promotions. I mean, it's not perfect by any means (i.e. the mode is in love with Billy Gunn. He's the dual champion of the regional promotion, and in all the main events) but I am enjoying the progress. Plus, when I get bored with my CAW, I can just add another CAW into the mix and start over without having to reset the whole thing.

How do you guys play Universe Mode? I spend ages retiring the active wrestlers I will never use and adding in some olden days ones who are more fun. I set up my feuds, and then every single Raw has all of those matches on. If I book Daniel Bryan vs. Brock Lesnar, they end up in a singles match pretty much once a week. I'm not that interested in playing it over and over so I sim them, but that feels like I'm missing the point. I end up simming forward to a fun PPV, usually the insanely dull MITB match, then get bored and sim forward again. Are you really all playing 7 matches on Raw, 7 on SmackDown, four on NXT AND all the PPV matches? That seems really, really slow. Frustratingly, once you've played one match, you can't skip the next one until its been fully loaded, so I'm not totally sure what the game wants you to do. It could do with a manual or something.

I have one wacky brand (I call it TNA and use a TNA arena) with all the old guys I don't want to use and jobbers like Zack Ryder and guys like that, rather than retiring them. The ROH/NJPW brand I have seems to put together some decent matches on its own and I'll occasionally play a full PPV from it since I only have wrestlers on that brand that I like playing. also, haha, Rovert just won the IWGP IC title from Liger on that brand.
