It seems like Sami and Kana are commenting on two different aspects of Adam Page. Sami is commenting on his in-ring ability, Kana is commenting on his charisma. Out of curiosity, what is Adam Page's current charisma stat? I have a similar situation in my 2001 game where Scott Steiner and Vampiro are constantly burying younger workers while Ric Flair and DDP are constantly telling me how I should give more microphone time to Jamie Knoble and Brian Kendrick. I usually just ignore the negative comments. It's not like I can't see their stats anyway.
Good point. Page's charisma is currently at C level, and given his years on the job I don't imagine it'll jump much higher (though I guess he's still young enough that he might pick up a mentor with high charisma). All that really means is that his matches won't get that little extra boost, Creative seems pretty confident that his in-ring skills are going to get even better and his overness ceiling is in the A- range.

Meanwhile, I don't like raiding the indies for talent but all of a sudden CMLL tried to buy up KUSHIDA and then WWE came in with their play for the whole Time Splitter package, now I'm putting in my own bid. Those guys are staples of the NJPW / ROH high card. LU's already been reduced to their midcarders getting ME treatment.

There are personality sliders. Since these are mods, the modmakers set the sliders based on what is known about the person and their reputation.
Unfortunately I couldn't tell you specifically what each slider dictates and there are like, 10 of them.
I presume that if Kana is repreatedly trying to undermine people she's hard into the 'manipulative' part of the manipulative/Naive slider.

Devs on 2k18:

quote:

One area which they acknowledge wasn't up to par in 2K17 was the in-game commentary, which is also being overhauled. Working with the NBA 2K team, which is known for its authentic commentary quality, WWE 2K18 brings in Michael Cole, Byron Saxton, and Corey Graves as the lead commentators. To give it a more organic feel, the three commentators were given extra time to work, and also had the chance to perform in the same room as their co-commentators to lend the recording process more of a natural feel.

...Building from the last game, My Career returns and will feature a more serious story. As the last game was criticized for its somewhat sprawling nature, the next attempt at building your character's career will be more concise and narrative-driven than its predecessor. The main reason for this different approach to the story is the inclusion of the brand new Road To Glory mode, one of the new forms of online content for the My Career campaign. While the developers were tight-lipped on mentioning just what this offers, they stated that My Career's story is the lead up to Glory mode, which is the end-game of sorts for My Career.

...

Along with the expanded My Career comes new changes to the core gameplay. In addition to Promo Engine 2.0--an upgraded and more accurate take on the wrestler's trash-talking dialog system from 2K17--the fighters now go through a brand new progression system which yield unlockable upgrades and perks after matches. To encourage flexibility, the upcoming roster has been increased over the last year, and is set to be the largest in series history. Added to this, the developers working on a brand new character archetype system known as ‘fighting styles.' Each wrestler in the roster is set up with a particular archetype, like high-flyer or giant, which reflects their physique, moveset, and physical prowess in the ring. This is not only to reflect the variety in the roster, but also to give players diving into Create-A-Wrestler more defined archetypes to attach themselves to.

One area the developers were aware was a bit too complicated was the core grappling and submissions system. To remedy this, key parts of the submission system have been reworked and overhauled entirely, making it easier to learn and use. In addition to an overhauled dragging system (the technique of using opponent's' momentum against them), a new carrying system has been introduced, which allows players to pick up their opponents, leading to a variety of different moves like power bombs, cradles, and environmental moves. Moreover, there’s also a new ‘position feeding' mechanic, which allows players to ‘sell' their position in the match, launching a move from a groggy or ground position. The developers claim that the grappling systems are more dynamic, leading to a greater level of possibilities compared to the comparatively static system from the previous game.

....

Moreover, there will be many different options to play around with, including mixed-gender wrestling and other options such as interactive items and win conditions, which can be added in the new create-a-match feature.

I wish they would do it like Fire Pro or Day of Reckoning where fighting style just let you decide whether the CAW reversed a power bomb attempt with a hurricanrana (High Flyer), a boston crab (Submission), or a back body drop (Power). It's a great, simple way to make CAWs (and other wrestlers) feel unique and different, so of course they got rid of that 15 years ago.

The mixed-gender wrestling thing sounds unusual, since it's something that WWE are not likely to reintroduce in the foreseeable future. Wonder if the reporter is phrasing that wrong.

Yeah I was hoping that the mixed-gender wrestling would be somewhat unrestricted, but you know I wouldn't put it past them to hype it up, then have the final result be a stupud Specialty Mixed Gender Tag match option--on an enemy tag out, the computer takes over and walks you to the corner to tag automatically

Still, I'm kinda hopeful that they get some stuff right. The new announcers are WAY overdue, especially after the JBL addition was half-assed and lovely
