I have NEVER received the respect I deserve as the leader and founder of The Masterflock, the internet's largest and oldest Christopher Masterpiece fan group in all of history, and I DEMAND that changes. From now on, you will respect Skinty McEdger!

It's not big or clever to poke fun at ps2 games, they did the best they could with the technology they had at the time.

Odds are its animated like that because his hood getting taken off is special to his entrance so they did physics for that and make the hair stay stationary instead.

We're here to interrogate Manly Dan the lumberjack for the murder of wax Stan.
Here's what I don't get-- why don't they have the actual wrestlers themselves pop in for a little bit & do thier own mocap when a tour heads by the 2K offices or something? I mean, Trent Baretta doing New Day dances?

Jesus! Jesus Christ! Say his name! Jesus! Jesus! Come down now!

2K and WWE are separate companies and it probably saves 2K a bit of cash to hire technically graceful indie guys to mocap than contract WWE talent for anything they're not absolutely necessary for.

Being separate from WWE allows 2K to negotiate with and include guys who the WWE doesn't have ongoing relations with (eg Ken Shamrock). It can also lead to problems, like when Foley dropped out of a game over royalties despite (iirc) being under a Legends contract at the time.

Humans disgust me. Vile creatures.
So my background story in my TEW game is kind of a darkest timeline for modern WWE. A whole bunch of stars were talking union including Cena, Roman finds out and blackmails Cena into betraying the union-talkers to Vince. He fires them en masse, but they all sue him successfully for wrongful termination and pool the money they win together to form my company, World Wide Wrestling (probably some legal logic errors there, but whatever). I gave Roman simmering tension with everyone left on the WWE roster to reflect his new snitch status and gave Cena a drinking/soft drug problem for his guilty conscience. Apparently that snowballed and Cena's become enough of a mess that WWE just let his contract expire without offering him a new one.

One strange thing is if you look at their top 100 matches, it's all TV matches. Their highest rated PPV match is Cena vs. Jey Uso from Summerslam at #28 or so.

You're right. It's better.

It was cool when people did it occasionally at big shows for Becky or Sami, but god I'm sick of it. It's going to give Roode full-on go-away heat with me.

this game is going to continue looking bad until they drop the ps3/360 versions. also because this series is loving abhorrent.

the only one I play is the 2k14 I think? might be 13. it was the last one on ps3 that had cm punk/goldberg and allowed you to create truly freakish monsters while also letting you put in your own music via usb. creating an 8 ft tall cookie monster and having him come out to Kiss From A Rose was great.

this new one at least looks like it has way better CAW options. I remember 2k15 giving you only like 10 loving hat options, what the gently caress.

One time a guy stole some downhill skis out of my jeep and I was so mad I punched a mailbox. I'm against crime, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.
Apparently 2k17's CAW system has outfits for Max Moon and Giant Gonzalez. Pre-ordered.

2k15 and 16 apparently had better graphics, but fewer CAW options.

Basically every iteration of the game, they can improve one thing, but it'll come at the expense of something else. As long as wrestling games are a niche of a niche they're not going to have AAA money to make big advances in everything that needs to be improved.

The UFC games if I'm not mistaken got away with making games every two years or so, and they tended to be good to great.

(At this point I feel like a UFC vs. WWE game where you could mix and match characters doing both would be the greatest game in history, but I digress).
