They probably didn't change any of it at all. From 2k14 to 2k17, other than being able to chose storylines, Universe Mode didn't change at all. The CAW mode didn't update anything either. Once the PS4 had come out, 2K stopped updating them.

I came here to chew bubblegum and quote 'They Live', and I'm... at an impasse.
It’s so loving funny they made a general manager mode where you can’t book matches that were in 1998 games.

This is like the 25th SmackDown game

"If I lose I will set myself on fire."
My understanding is that these match types just were not available in the build they gave to people, even in exhibition matches.

So I''m hoping that they let you do that stuff in GM Mode in the full release.

They're going to ship with only 10 person royal rumbles enabled so they can drop the Custom Rumble expansion for $9.99 for 30 man rumbles, maybe even 20!

Maaan, the end of that Roman match, where Balor taps to silence, Roman finishes his animation and puts his hands back up to fight, and then the graphic and music and crowd pop all hit 5 seconds later.

Is it just me or are the counts super long on these? The Roman/Balor match has maybe the longest one count I've ever seen.

Not being able to do custom brands and whatnot in GM mode totally kills the whole deal for me

I spent like 15 hours in the last game only making stupid graphics and belts for my fake fed that consists of me and my friends so I can beat them up

I have played maybe 2 matches ever of actual gameplay

Instant edit I know universe mode is different but I was really looking forward to the gm mode stuff

Just watched a vid about the new combo system. Each person has 30 different combo moves, but don't worry, if you have trouble remembering whose combos are whose, you can pause the game and bring up a combo menu!

I didn't pick that one up. I think the last I got was RvS 07. Maybe 06. I felt burned from those and just followed the terrible reviews since.

Just looked up see when HCTP came out. 2003. It was nominated for Best Sports game and Best Fighting game by Spike TV's video game awards and actually WON for best fighting game. Can you loving imagine a WWE game winning anything in 2022??

raw was airing on spike at the time so it may not have been the most unbiased choice.

Reminds me of something that irked me about the first Injustice game (I forget if this happened in the sequel). You could KO someone with a big super move and they'd get up after the animation had finished only to fall right back down immediately after. It just made no sense.

Probably not going to get a full roster reveal until AFTER the game comes out

So apparently GM Mode doesn't have online play unless you use a workaround like Steam Remote Play or whatever the Playstation equivalent is called, and for the Xbox there's just none period. Amazing.

The made a mode that 97% of buyers won't mess with but streamers and content creators have been asking for, and just said gently caress it since those people have all figured out multiplayer workarounds over the past few years. It's lazy and bad optics but I kinda understand the thought process to get there.

"If I lose I will set myself on fire."
It was severely hosed up when it was in already. I say this as someone who used it for like... I forget how long to make a fed over in LP in about 2015 or so.

So many unnecessary limitations and glitches with tag entrances and ugh. It was horrible. I switched to using RenPy for that and never looked back. Sure I don't get in engine 3D stuff but at least I can do what I want.

Full stories that match existing angles where the only thing you can create about it is who is in it, but only the side characters, the main character is Roman Reigns.

Probably the same way they hosed it up in the original games: making all the stories locked until you randomly encountered them and completed them in Universe Mode for no good reason.

The only bits we've seen are probably from the career/story mode which for some reason is always completely different to how the regular CAW screen looks which is annoying as hell

I had a PS3 for the longest time, and 2K14 was the last time they updated the CAW suite. 2K15, 2K16, 2K17 was exactly the same as the 2K14's on the PS3. . So I'm guessing they didn't do any real updates for the CAW this year, and starting new year they'll only update that poo poo on the PS5 version.
