Now that I know that this feature is in I have an important question: is the Nation of Domination theme still in the game

Yes it is, I was surprised to find it is one of the Rock's alternate themes in the selection menu of the entrance editor (The Rock '98).

Yeah, one of the weird things about the total gimping of body morphing, is that after getting over it, people can now produce quality, good enough looking characters without all the fiddly tweaking that was necessary with it in. I will miss it anyway since I liked having all that control, but the new set up is workable for most people, Yokozuna sized fuckers notwithstanding. It's unfortunate to a degree, but it's not like big fat guys were ever build-able in this series anyway, even in the last gen games they end up looking like terrible as morphing the body to extremes created a lot of hard edges, the opposite of what you want from big fat guys.

I wish the game had a "random" option for CAWs. Like you'd press a button, and the computer would come up with one all on its own.

I'm legit in love with the CAW mode already. The hair options for women alone have really impressed me. There's a god drat Chelsea hawk in the game. I can finally have a decent Christina Von Eerie :allears:

I like that apparently from the videos I've seen your weight (and thus weight class) and your body's looks are completely uncoupled from each other so you can be 6'0 and skinny and also a 640 pound superheavyweight, which I appreciate

Anyone know how to control the other guy after you tag out in Universe mode? I save the matches with the the 'control partners' option and then it makes me choose one or the other when I start the match. Pressing select in-match doesn't appear to change your player anymore either. Did they really completely gently caress up tag matches for Universe mode?

How do you get into that? Guessing there's just a tutorial to clarify when it becomes available?

I got a little pop-up, but there's very little to tell you HOW to do it. Just go into to edit your dude's appearance, and put a t-shirt on him in his entrance gear, slap a logo and some text and boom, you'll get about the same amount of points as a 4-5 star match just from marks buying your crappy shirt.

gently caress this poo poo, im trapped in the endless cycle of taking 6 hours to create a caw, moveset and all. I think I played one match in career mode before deciding the move set just wasnt flowing properly.

As long as you didn't do well enough in the tutorial to get skipped to the main roster, I'd just have the move-set be a work-in-progress as your dude's in developmental. I've got a big hoss-y wannabe Stan Hansen who used a powerbomb as his finish, but I've now switched to a spinebuster and lariat.


flashy_mcflash posted:

Can someone confirm this because if true I am going out and plunking down seventy canadian dollars right now so I can give Bayley's music the Brock Lesnar stinger

It is. The entrance and tron creators are very much styled after a proper editing suite in UI. It's like babby's first Final Cut project.

EDIT: Two little things I noticed: One, they didn't scrub the term 'diva' from commentary, but the women are just included under 'superstars' in character selection now, which is nice. And two, despite saying they didn't have time to do the brand split... it's actually there by default in Universe. If you go into shows and look at the assigned rosters, it's straight up the draft split. With that, and the video clips used in the Career mode cutscenes (there's one of Ambrose with the world title at MITB), I'm wondering when exactly the game went gold.

My CAW started gunning for the NXT tag belts with another generic fella as his partner, and the first feud was clearly supposed to be against Enzo and Cass, as we're heels, but the AI weirdly split up the Realest Guys and put them each with one member of the also-dissolved Ascension... So now I'm having a big blow off with Cass and Viktor at Takeover...

WWF Attitude had that, and it really made some funny and freaky CAWs. I'm surprised that hasn't been in a game since. It's probably too complex for a modern gen system though.

I'm surprised 2K17 doesn't have custom music, especially since The Show for PS4 allowed it.

If you actually want to go through NXT just to win the NXT Tag titles and the NXT Title for like career or achievement purposes then you should really just purposely lose both Performance center matches and fail your promo classes.

I've been a big advocate of custom music but if you can now splice together existing songs in-game, that's a more than workable compromise.

Can you use your spliced-together songs in the menus and stuff?

This.

also, its pretty great to not pick anything during the promo classes, completely tank them, and Albert still says "You're a natural kid! You'll be a WWE Superstar® in no time."

was watching my friend broadcast the game and the music themes for wrestlers did not play. apparently it also gets muted when you shareplay and record poo poo on ps4. if true that is the biggest loving pussy move by wwe and yukes, what the gently caress how annoying and garbage is that. why bother making entrances if poo poo gets loving muted when I try to record it and post it anywhere??

That's a Playstation thing that happens on other games. I know the NBA 2K games, for one, mute in shareplay to avoid sharing the licensed soundtrack.

PS4 version seems pretty stable with the day 1 patch (it was a shitshow without it), don't know about Xbone. Sony is paranoid about content sharing (see also: The debacle that is getting Fallout 4 mods on PS4) and that could cause some long-term headaches, but that could have knock-on effects on all versions, including PC.

In other news, Elimination Chamber matches work this year, which is good.

The new promo system seems pretty cool with having to account in your choices for if its a smarky town and being able to turn heel and such. Career seems improved in general from the couple hours of streams I saw. I don't know if it eventually gets back onto the same infinitely repeating nonsense or if you at least get to feud with someone who isn't Ziggler sometimes now.

I'm not certain, I have only seen a promo cut at NXT Performance center, but the tutorial says every building is either Hardcore or Family-Friendly, and also either Respectful or Disrespectful, and you need to keep that in mind to know what will get face or heel heat to say.

That's really cool. I have to assume it gives an indicator for that and that the way you do the match is affected by it too (i.e don't do 100 chairshots in a Family Friendly building). I'd be really interested to see which cities/arenas they've decided are Hardcore/Disrespectful.

Thanks!
