Because it never leaves its bedroom, no one has ever seen this poster's real face.

Weird thing that probably proves Yuke's at least need to revise the moveset structure of the WWE games is that they've started putting more versions of signature moves in the games that a character can actually have set. Like, there's 3 different Kinshasha's and Sister Abigail's in the game, and Aries can only do the brainbuster on the floor. The Club have both their double-teams in but because you can only have one tag finisher, you can only do the Magic Killer, and not the Boot of Doom.

Oh, and strangely, the Tye Breaker is a signature, not the finish for Dillinger.
In some of the older games if you had something like the Liontamer as a signature, you could do it from all the positions that that particular move could be done in- standing, corner, etc., and the variations would just be, like, the second pedigree is a lot more slow and deliberate, or the second stunner had theatrics. (I'm not sure if I'm thinking of 2K14 or something a lot older, like Here Comes the Pain.)

They've gotten more persnickety about the flexibility of the moves in general; e.g. instead of just having a move with the catch attribute as a finisher to do catch finishers, you have to have the catch ability enabled, and then select it in a separate category in the move list. Little tedious. It's fun to set it as something completely different so it acts as an extra finisher slot, but then you get a weird situation where your dude only ever does a super kick if somebody is jumping at him.

Also, the 3D is a D-rank move? Pff.

I'm pretty sure the MyCareer move rankings are meaningless. There are small handful of "dramatic moment" moves that make it seem like a game mechanic that was aborted early in delelopment.

I just discovered that when you go to the improve card screen in supercard, and click the little silhouette button underneath the diamond on the top left, you can assign any cards image to that card

So basically if you have a Elite Daniel Bryan but prefer the photo in common, you can change the Elite card to use the common image.

Yeah I've never seen them have much effect at all.

In other news, crowd noise is back in Universe mode but is now absent in about one out of every three matches I do in Exhibition. Yukes gonna Yuke.

There won't be any Roode or DIY for this one. The final DLC is the Hall of Fame showcase and that'll be out next month. After that's released Yukes will just leave 2k17 out to die.

Yeah I really really miss being able to import themes. The CAWs are so good already, and being able to add in authentic themes made them even better.

2k16 PC ran like a dream, but there were issues. First, you had to use a program to inject music over themes already in game, so it was never as nice as it could have been. Also, it just never got as much attention from creator's, for obvious reasons, so there was not the same wealth of great CAW's floating around that there are on the consoles. Real good if you are fine doing your own stuff, but 100 CAW slots can be hard to fill by yourself.

Yeah I basically just over-wrote the generic CAW themes. Never had a problem with finding CAWs and arenas though, but I guess I only used like 30 slots.

I noticed that if I simmed like 2 years worth of matches (and kept universe drafting on), anyone who held a tag title could go on a massive streak and then win the world title and hold it forever - looks like they never got around to fixing the tag titles bug where tag feuds didn't culminate in a title match.

Generally the old issue with cruiserweight guys in older WWE games is that they couldn't physically lift the other characters and had some of the more important stats (like damage and hit points) capped out way below the heavyweights. This resulted, for example, in Shawn Michaels being worthless on multiple games.

This may or may not be correct.

If there was ever a time for a proper women's CAW and career modes it should be 2K18, given how the actual WWE has been pushing that division, for better or worse.

Some say 2K started the women's revolution.

Card Game Newbie here-few questions.

1: Any grinding advice? I got up to Ultra Rare ++ in just under a week (hell yeah insomnia), but seem to be plateauing a bit as I wait for login rewards
2: Do contracts carry over when rewards expire in MITB, or does that wipe the slate clean?
3: Same, but title matches in RTG
4: Why the hell isn't there an extra-special bonus for clearing the draft board? I feel like that's a gimmie.

Given that I was a Skinner Pigeon in a previous life, this game is extremely my poo poo.

I know that asking 2K for a single functional career mode is wishful thinking , but I'd love storylines that center on individual titles. Like a meaningful and unique IC title arc, something for the cruiserweights, the ability to resurrect the Hardcore or Euro titles, etc.

1: Play King of the Ring. Since you grind a lot you'll always have energy to recharge your cards. This is one of the easier ways to get cards at your tier.
2: Yes.
3: Any of the point doubler style items disappear at the end of whatever event you got them in (RTG, RD, or PCC)

Breathe.

Keep in mind you're going to make most of your progress from login rewards and events, especially at your tier.

King of the Ring is good but I find it boring as hell and you have to have a sandbagged deck to do well.

Just keep in mind that it's going to take forever to do anything, and don't spend money on high tier cards since that will wreck your decks in event modes and you'll just lose a ton.

2007 was the worst about the weight class thing because if you were two weight classes below your opponent, you couldn't hurt them with grapples OR strikes. The weight classes were super weird in that game too. For some reason, Shawn Michaels was defined as a heavyweight and Psychosis was a cruiserweight. Despite being taller and weighing more than Michaels in real life, he would hoss out and no sell every thing Psychosis did to him.
