I thought 2K16 was fine, but the biggest problem is the sluggish speed of matches. This seems like something they most likely won't budge too easily on, since it's probably someone's grand idea of how the game should run. I also can't really see many gimmicks that they can trot out anymore to cover up the shortcomings like in the last 5 years. Nostalgia modes aren't as novel, especially with the Network out there. They've exhausted the old stars to the point they're marketing a guy who has been in a ton of games. Hard times. Nut Bunnies fucked around with this message at 05:06 on Jul 22, 2016 |

Is it still the rumor that the main mode this year is going to be "play through HHH's career" (ala Austin?)

Like Brock is basically a bullshit SNK fighting game boss and you have to see how long you can last, or god forbid actually beat him. Undertaker has a special hidden finisher than wins the match if the ref's bumped.

They still haven't done a Monday Night Wars theme yet. Somehow. There was the Attitude era which was cool, but throw WCW and ECW in there since they have all the intellectual property and rights to most of the guys.

I get the impression Vince doesn't even like to humor the idea that WCW was ever a real threat to him, and certainly not that they, as his competition, had anything to do with his success.

Yeah, I went through and edited almost everyone important in the game. I think it's easy to misunderstand how high it needs to be to not have it gently caress up matches. It seems like anything under 80-85 is basically 'garbage' according to the game. Which was a problem when a bunch of mainstream workers were by default 50 or below.

I think I'm fine with the way the system works right now - you can definitely get a bad worker over but they'll sink like a stone as soon as you stop all-out protecting him. Stuff like regional battles and owner demands exist to incentivize you to actually push bad workers.

More to the point he obstinately refuses to make concessions to playability. Psychology is probably the most important stat in the game. Of course a lot of people think a lot of the mods are too easy. In 2013 I'd vehemently disagree. But with 2016 I might be force to at least hear them out.

I would say running good shows as a work rate promotion is still too easy, but that's less 'running good shows' and more 'it's still too easy to grow as this type of fed which is far more limited in real life' I don't doubt that the type of people who would go to a show headlined by reDRagon vs Young Bucks ladder match, Samoa Joe vs Davey Richards, and La Sombra vs Lio Rush would view said show as an 'A' but that would be 3,000 people, not the 21,000 that I packed into Joe Louis Arena for the spectacle. However, the more aggressive federations still makes it way harder. Since I started WWE and New Japan have hired away 10 of my main eventers, TNA hired 2 of my women's division, and I just had to pay Lio Rush and the Young Bucks enough to make me anxious financially to keep them from jumping to WWE or TNA. Compared to previous games where you could just form a superteam of indy stars and WWE would basically never try to steal any of them and that is a huge improvement

Does the feature that make different regions lean toward different products have any bite to it? I mean it's a game so anything's possible but you'd think Sports Entertainment would be dominant Most everywhere, Strong Style in Japan, etc. but then you get into the territory of putting on great shows with measly gates, which would confuse a lot of end users. More to the point it would probably have a ripple effect in the game's already complicated math. Differentiating longitudinal growth across products, balancing small companies and big ones w/r/t talent acquisition and retainment, working out worker salaries vs. their skill and overness so as not to break the game, etc. It would retain some more realism in terms of company growth but would make gaining on WWE-style Titans as a small fed practically impossible. But then, that's realism in itself.

Regrettable posted:Someone hasn't played 2k15. 16 is a dream compared to that hot garbage. It is, but the philosophy of the devs seems to be making it more of a simulation of wrestling as if it were real. That kind of thing is fine for real sports, but it doesn't really make sense for wrestling. The best games have a balance of sports simulation and arcade absurdity. 2K15 and 2K16 go too far in the simulation direction.

It's also that they're kinda overly focused in terms of what they're simulating, so a lot of stuff still gets super-abstracted and flattened out. There's this huge library of moves for CAWs but functionally they're all super similar. Sure, a hoss will have more health and damage, and a cruiserweight will have more reversals and priority on attacks, but I played one superheavyweight antihero hoss and one Young Bucks esque over-flippy indie heel in MyCareer mode and it never felt like the mechanics were pushing me toward executing different game plans with them. It's the same tactic of finding moves to spam with short windup animations when you're not in control, grinding their reversals down, and then going through my list of grapples to crank up the move variety once I'm in control Plus the fact that the stats are all super-granular and the point gain is really slow means that to the extent that it is possible to develop a specific style, it's something you'll have to grind a lot for, and you won't be able to notice the changes outside of a few major breakpoints like reversal thresholds. The whole thing is just super homogenized from a functional level, to the extent that the most fun I've had playing it with a friend is when we played out our fantasy booking scenarios on his Universe Mode and worked with each other to put together a PWG-assed finishing sequence for Rollins vs. Neville. That meant ignoring a bunch of game mechanics in favor of actually calling the spots during the match, and while it's nice that the game gave us the tools for that, it's pretty far from what most folks are hoping for and expecting out of a wrestling game The more I think about it, a lot of the problem especially in MyCareer is that aesthetic customization is all incredibly front-loaded, like you have hours worth of appearance and moveset customization to get through before you really get started... but then mechanical customization comes at a snail's pace. So I have hours worth of gameplay where I've made this 6'8", 300 lb. hulk of a man who comes to the ring sporting a cop mustache and hakama pants, but then in gameplay terms I'm at a disadvantage if I try to stand and trade shots with Tyler Breeze. My ridiculous indie hoss offense is there, with all the deadlifts and dangerous release suplexes and elaborate powerbombs, but it feels generic because the game's mechanics have inherently made it generic I wonder if they're better off doing some kind of UFC 2 thing with MyCareer going forward? Where like, you graduate from wrestling school and choose a pack of basic moves corresponding to a style, and like those are what you learned at the Performance Center. And then as you progress you can learn new moves that are not only more flashy and memorable, but that have mechanical benefits attached to them. I think it'd do a lot to break up the sense of monotony in the game's progression
