I remember them doing that in 2K17 too. The AWA World title had no history, despite Zbyszko and Hennig being in. It later was fixed in a patch

Did you play a lot of backstage stuff in the last game? That's where I saw all the glitches and I don't think I had a single backstage fight without encountering the "guy is permanently attached to a box after being hit by it" glitch.

See, the solution is instead of fixing these patches, they should have WWE incorporate these glitches into their programming. Have a back room brawl where a guy gets stuck in a box and then rolls around back state

The best part of the NLI midnight stream was when they used the backstage mode to just walk around the area as Konnor and Viktor, occasionally hitting each other and saying YEAAAAHHHHHHHHHH.

Like they put a LOT of effort into rendering multiple backstage areas and having them all link together, but you wonder if maybe this effort could've gone into debugging more.

It’s easier to add new arenas than to fix a messy code that’s probably older than half the players. I think they should take a couple programmers and have them start working on a brand new engine for 2k22. It will never happen because it’s easier and cheaper to just poo poo out the same game every year with enough new features to keep people coming back. I was hoping the jump to PS4/XBO would facilitate that change, but here we are.

As long as people buy them, poo poo's not going to get fixed or change. By the time people have figured out that it's a buggy mess once again, 2K have your money.

If you want these games to get fixed, let alone get a real refresh, you have to not buy them. Nothing is going to change until 2K sees the sales figures drop.

Your artists aren't going to help much with debugging. Is there really much in the backstage areas that hasn't been done in previous games? Seems like the usual "play a canned animation at a specified point" that they've had for a decade now.

They're far more liable to cancel the series than invest two or three times as much money as they have been.

One thing that stands out to me is how slowly they roll out discounts on the older games. Like out-of-date sports games are THE most common sight in cheap game sales but online they're still charging 60 bucks for 2k17 on the 360.

Gotta milk that niche.

Doubly bizarre because the games are always on heavy Black Friday discount for 35 bucks but then go back to full price and rarely budge.

Probably.

I ended up buying the game because I’m an idiot and I wanted to play matches with 8 wrestlers.

The game is glitchy as hell but they always are at release. We’ll get a patch soon. 8 man matches have some minor frame rate issues, and they need to work on the targeting system for the referee as he sometimes is focused on people outside of the ring for no reason and misses pin falls. The new elimination chamber is actually pretty awesome, and 120 second intervals improve the mode drastically. The rumble is a little better too.

I usually just focus on exhibition and the creation suite, and the games fine for that. I have not tried the universe or career modes at all, and I do not plan on playing the online mode.

if all you want to do is make CAWs fight then Fire Pro is probably an infinitely better game especially because you can tinker with shitloads of CPU logic and habits--the game was made with CPU simulation in mind. It's likely way better than whatever idiotic AI 2k is using.

To the new game's credit the creation tools are probably better than ever, apart from the remaining distinct lack of story mode.

In universe mode, I booked Bray to go over Brock in a Falls Count Anywhere match as the third to last match, and EVERY time I finished the match, the game crashed. 5 times. Every time.

It looks like the WWE2k18 bonus for the Supercard app is a QR code. If someone has a Cena (Nuff) edition QR code and is willing to send it to me shoot me a PM and I'll PayPal you $10.

EDIT: Haha wow... My offer stands but apparently people are selling them on eBay for way more.
