Sounds like Ryland is legit trying to make it more user accessible.

We can finally replicate the ridiculous TNA "tag titles/world champion/x-division champion all on the line at the same time" match.

I just hope the person who wrote the theme replacer app gets a 2k16 one done quickly so I can get rid of the crappy Flair and DDP themes. Also so I can give Sting his Metallica theme.

gently caress yeah. I don't know why that asterisk is there then, it was on the 2k15 port to say "hey you're gonna have to wait an indefinite amount of time for us to actually add the DLC to the game".

Mar 11: Expanded Production

The production department now contains four new areas: Production Values, Broadcast Quality, Music and Live Event Experience.

Production values are things like sets, entrance ways, professional video editing capabilities, etc. Broadcast Quality is the crew and equipment used to shoot the shows, i.e. things like HDTV. Music covers all the licensing of music used for entrances, videos, etc. Live Event Experience is the event crew who organise and run the shows in regards to fans, for example organising the seating, organising VIP packages, etc. Some of these elements mean a monthly ongoing cost, some are done per show, and some are a combination of both; the costs are dependent on the level used. All costs are clearly shown on screen when selecting levels.

These have two major impacts on the game.

The first is in relation to your rivals (NB: a rival is any company of similar size in the same game area, except for International and Global companies where it is a company of similar size anywhere in the world) - if you hold a show and are running any of the elements at a lower level than them, you will get a penalty to your overall show grade for looking amateurish in comparison.

This opens up a potentially brutal game of cat and mouse with companies being able to raise the stakes to try and force opponents into difficult situations. This is especially true of financial powerhouses who can use their might to make life very difficult for their more cash-strapped opponents. For example, a rich company may decide to up all four of their production elements by two levels; this will make things very expensive for them in the long run but instantly puts a lot of pressure on all their rivals, who are now left with the dilemma of whether to take the same, potentially killer, financial hit or to try to weather the storm and just take the penalties. This of course makes life very tough for companies who lack money, but that's business.

The second major impact is in regard to broadcasters. Every broadcaster has minimum requirements for the first three elements mentioned at the start of the journal. A company that does not meet those requirements each show will annoy them and potentially get kicked off the air if it lasts long enough. This again adds another dilemma, as some companies may get the opportunity to snag a good broadcast deal but need to factor in whether they can meet the requirements without putting themselves under too much pressure.

For ease of use, player's are e-mailed whenever a rival alters their production values in a manner that could potentially cause penalties. The production screen also gives clear on-screen warnings of any potential penalties and includes a View Rivals button that allows you to see exactly what levels your rivals are currently using.

Mar 11: Half Year Awards

As a companion piece to the End Of Year Awards, there is now a half yearly version that comes out during the summer. These sum up the year thus far and give a good indication of who the front runners for each of the full awards are.

Mar 11: Painkillers

A new lifestyle \ habit has been added to the game, painkiller addiction. This can be a very dangerous and disruptive habit to acquire, and normally occurs post-injury. As with the other habits, there are a raft of custom stories and events related to painkiller addiction, and it can impact in-ring performance, reliability, and impacts physical condition and at high levels can shorten a worker's potential life span.

So since it's on early access or whatever, how on earth does the 'ultimate team' or whatever mode in UFC 2 actually work? None of the videos I've seen have done more than a glance at the cards and it looks like you get poo poo like buffs and fighting styles as well as fighters? I'm super intrigued by 'fantasy UFC' but I have no idea how that actually works.

KungFu Grip posted:

Haha there was a "day 1" patch for the UFC game and they added Sage Northcutt and Jessica Aguilar as well as Conor to Welterweight. I guess they also tweaked Rose Namajunas and Frankie Edgar's models

Wait so in CAW mode now in the WWE games, if I want like my head to be thinner or something, instead of going up and down on the Head Thinness Slider I now have to lovingly massage like twelve head shape points on a tiny diagram? And just kind of hope that when I'm done, what I'm dealing with is still approximately a human head? Awww yeah

I really hope UFC 2 is decent, I haven't played a UFC game since Undisputed 3 and could go for some MMA

Gaz-L posted:

It's about the same as last game, but the grappling system, like I said, is faster paced, and worse for it, I feel.

triplexpac posted:

I only played the demo of the last one, but I felt it was way too fast paced as it was. Nothing but flying spinning kicks and punches, I prefer a more deliberate pace.
