So will CAW packs for the PS4 FPW have to be on a thumb drive with files from the net like FPR?

It's not that they're totally alien but they don't seem to give satisfying matches against edits I've downloaded. Maybe it's the other edits that are the problem.

I do, however, tend to do lowish stats and thus far haven't used the special attributes like Reborn and stuff.
Over on the Fire Pro boards, there's some deep discussion about edit stats and abilities, with different editors having different philosophies. It's pretty interesting, I think. Some people say offense should be low, defense should be high. Others say offense should be high, defense should be low. Some say the thing the character uses the most should be low, and the things they rarely use should be high. The only consensus I've seen is that Hardbody is broken and shouldn't ever be used, and Reborn should only be used for Antonio Inoki and maybe Okada.

Nobody knows yet, and honestly at this stage that's kind of concerning.

Hey, Johnny, what's a "shitpost"?
Hardbody is fine, honestly. You just have to understand what it *does*. An edit with hardbody is completely immune to being pinned below a certain damage threshold. They are basically immune to rollups and being pinned by "Smaller" non-finisher moves. It's basically perfect for WWE PPV main event type edits, for instance, assuming you're fine with fluke rollups not happening.

I often switch an edit's special skill to Hardbody when I'm capturing a title match, to simulate PPV resiliency.

My CAW stats tend to be pretty standardized (with adjustments to fit the wrestler's style) and I tend to avoid the special attributes besides Finisher. I try to keep things fairly even between everyone and let the results ride out VGCW style. I'm not one for trying to set a winner up or try to get a specific kind of match/finish (exception would be that I have the Rest Holds mod enabled to avoid random sub finishes). Sometimes matches are kinda meh, but other times you get some great organic moments or hilarious finishes like when I got a double count-out because the wrestlers hit signatures on each other on the outside and didn't get back in time. Vince would have been proud.

EDIT: Might as well post the clip!

For a while I did everyone at 204, but I've been dialing back and can get results I'm happy with at 195.

I do try and force an outcome sometimes (the mods make that easy), but I really don't like having guys who are too powerful. There are a few CAWs I've subscribed to that I'm trying to figure out what to do with.

One of the things I love about Fire Pro is how well, and how often, it can put together compelling, or at least entertaining, matches and finishes. I especially like it when a edit busts out a move you didn't even know they had. My all-time favorite stupid match ending was a match between Tanahashi and... I think Masahiro Chono? They were brawling on the outside, Tanahashi goes in at 17 and Chono is stunned outside. Tanahashi did a dive to the outside at 19 and the match ended in a double countout.

My custom character has been KO'd--not pinned, not submitted, not counted out--straight-up KO'd by Krang in every tournament I've ran.

I recently picked up WWE 2k18 for PS4 at a fairly deep discount it's the first one I've owned since 2K15, and it's pretty cool so far. I've only played a couple matches, devoting most of my time to messing with the Creative modes, especially the new Create an Entrance which seems rad, as well as setting up my three brand Raw is waR vs Nitro vs current Smackdown Universe just so. I started a MyPlayer but haven't done much but work out with Tye Dillinger and tell Albert I didnt know who Shinsuke Nakamura was. The match creator is also cool, i made a 4v4 Elimination Tag so I could finally do Survivor Series.

E: for whatever other problems the game might have, the roster is astounding. Attitude era guys, classic guys, all sorts of guys. Also Shane Thorne

Yeah, it's a deep-rear end roster with a lot of creative suite stuff to fiddle with. My two beefs are:

- the baffling restrictions on custom matches. As far as I can tell, you can't do a 6 or 8 man No DQ elimination match for example or like a Hell in a Cell elimination match. Makes no sense.

- All wrestlers and all moves feel very similar in terms of movement. If you run a Kalisto vs Big Show or Daniel Bryan vs Vader, there's almost no difference in how "heavy" they are relative to each other. The small guys run a little faster but even the AI doesn't seem to try to use agile guys differently than heavy guys. It would just be nice to have some AI and speed variety.

Other than that, creating my own roster and my own Universe shows is a lot of fun. Pentagon Jr and Miz are feuding over an IC title, the Golden Lovers just beat Minoru Suzuki and William Regal for tag belts, and Dr. Steve Brule is running wild all over RAW

Move-sets are really badly done in the Smackdown series, and every year I would go through them and fix them. The awesome and enormous rosters of recent years have made this an onerous task, which I actually just straight up decided not to do this year. The game is just not fun enough to want to put in the work.

I don't know if it's a running gag on their end or what... but Zack Ryder used a 450 Splash ONE TIME as a near-fall in a US title match with John Cena and it's been an alternate finisher in 2k games ever since.

But I also heard a funny story from Christian about how he gave Ryder carte blanche for a match and all he came up with was "... TIGER BOMB" so now I can't help but make it a Signature move.

I think I know too much about Zack Ryder.

Thanks to this post I decided to grab the game plus dlc for about $30 cause it's on sale right now. I'm the same too, last one I got was 15 so a gap about this long seems to be the sweet spot. At least until we get (we wont) a new game with the aki engine.

Realistic!

E: after three weeks of being Joe's heater, i then got yelled at by vince for not being aggressive, fought Zack Ryder in the semi main for no reason, then the last three weeks have been
-beat up Sami Zayn backstage for no reason
-attack Sami Zayn with hammer during his entrance
-beat up Sami Zayn backstage again because Mick Foley said I can't wrestle this week.
