Did you try killing your internet connection? It hasn't crashed for me since I did that, but lol not exactly a long term solution. I reinstalled the game and it's still doing the same poo poo if I have my internet on.

I did this; was able to at least play a training match. But when I tried to make a moveset for a CAW ... CRASH

If your character has the tope skill, run and hit X+A at the same time as you hit the ropes.

Need to have the tope skill, which also tells you which buttons to press (x+square I think)

No argument here. It's kind of baffling and happens with such frequency that I wonder if they did any testing on this thing at all.

Having screwed with it awhile the actual gameplay here is sound, so the core of it is fun and I'm hopeful for the future.

But boy, the CAW is a humongous bummer. There's so few assets to play with, not nearly enough ability to modify them, and some quality of life stuff that's just baffling. Not having community sharing is one thing, that poo poo's complicated, but the fact that there's no way to, say, sort moves, meaning every time you apply a finisher or signature you just have to scroll through an alphabetical list of every single move in the game one page at a time, is just wild.

It's astounding that they somehow have an even worse method of applying moves than WWE games do but here we are in 2023 I guess

There are profiles where they have a piece of trivia about each wrestler. Orange Cassidy's is a vague way of saying, "Dude used to be Fire Ant."

Road to Elite mode kinda sucks but the Yakuza style vignettes where you go look at a jpeg of the Lincoln memorial with PAC are so bad they wrap around to being hilarious.

I like that they committed to supporting this game but this really feels like they're owed a second attempt with a newer roster and more fleshed out everything because I don't know how long I can stay interested in this if all they're doing is slowly adding new wrestlers over time. I will say though the FTR models look really good so hopefully that means they got better at making them over time and the newer ones coming out as dlc will look better than some of the current roster.

First day's opinion seems to be in line with the thread's. The game's not good. It's definitely not bad, either, not at all, and I'm sure I'm going to enjoy playing it for a while, but it's clunky and lacking in ways that are hard to just ignore while you play.

That said, I'm definitely going to get more play out of it than I've gotten out of any WWE game in years.

I would say the game is is good. I've played many bad wrestling games. This is a good one

as a lowly ps4 user, the other games I've gotten that were also released on ps5 ran just fine on ps4.. if they had the idea to even bother to put it on ps4 than they should at least make sure it loving works and doesn't crash just trying to play a match. but maybe I'm crazy I DUNNO!

This sounds about right. With the WWE games I'll put his info tweaking Universe or CAWs or creating belts or arenas but maybe 5% of that time is actually playing the wrestling part. I guess that's as emblematic of WWE as it gets.

Yeah, I don't care how old the hardware is. I've never had a game crash this much on me, ever. It's literally at least once a session.

I like the gameplay a lot. Easy controls, moves fast, has button mashing. Just feels like a good old arcade style wrestling game. I don’t need simulation wrestling in my video games or kick out mini games or the weird feature in WWE games where you have to painstakingly recreate a moment from a John Cena match.

Haven’t gone into the story mode but I’ll probably play it a lot casually and online because it’s easy to pick it up and play a few matches.

Definitely could stand to have some quality of life improvements like full entrances and character creation but maybe that will come as a DLC thing or a version 2 of the game.

it funny that they designed that part of the interface to be centered for 5 stars, then someone told them that it needs to be out of 7 stars instead, and they just added two onto the end. unless you are making a joke digital jedi. i don't know the game myself. anything is possible.

They don’t seem to, no.

It also means unless you play through it on the highest difficulties any created wrestler you make is hobbled, because you will end up with less points so less skill buys overall.

I finished up a normal difficulty play through and my guy had 52 stat skills, 8 action skills and 3 passive skills which puts me roughly on par with the actual roster ‘job guys’ as far as overall scope of abilities is concerned.

Compared to some actual roster characters from default:

Jobbers:
Scorpio Sky: 45 stat, 8 action, 7 passive
John Silver: 46 stat, 4 action, 8 passive

Main event guys:
Chris Jericho: 70 stat, 7 action, 22 passive
Kenny Omega: 80 stat, 9 action, 23 passive

Any idea how many stat points you bank after finishing on Harder difficulties? The CAW mode is so depressingly barebones, it almost doesn't seem worth it making a new wrestler.
