The career mode is unplayably buggy for me, I can't progress at all.

I've been squashing everyone in NXT but I never move beyond #10 in the rankings. I had a rivalry with Samoa Joe, I won every match and every promo but he somehow won the rivalry.

I think im gonna give up on this game

Tho that Meltzer arena might change it

I never touch any of the Career or Universe Modes. I just make and download CAWs and arenas, and create shows, and have fun playing exhibition matches. So I never deal with all the frustrations from the other modes, just occasional glitches in matches that are usually more funny than anything else.

Make sure you're actually wrestling guys in the rankings. I think you literally have to beat the guy immediately above you to move up.

Re: 2K17

Is there some kinda "trick" to getting the CPU to stay down for a pin ? as regardless of meters/limb damage etc they are able to get out it seems.. very frustrating.

Finishers, and make sure you're actually doing significant damage. It goes WAY past red in this one. You can get to grey if a match goes long enough.

There are only a few circumstances in which a pin will work. They have to be on their last half-health bar (so, red and black). At that point you can either pin them off a signature / finisher, which is the most straightforward way, or you can use a leverage or dirty pin. If you've got a high-level combo pin ability they'll work after you've whittled down an opponent's health and stamina.

That said, higher card workers will have the Resilience ability, which is either a contextual (up to 2 times) or guaranteed (1 time) get-out-of-pin free card. It also seems like this game will randomly throw a miracle 2.9 kickout from nowhere now and again. I actually achieved the irl impossible a few days ago - I hit a finisher on an obliterated opponent, got 2.9, then immediately pinned again and got 3.

New ability for 2K18: That Was 3! - After a kickout at 2, you can attempt to convince the ref it was actually a 3-count. (10% chance of success)

Chikara did that once, tried to find the vid but couldn't.

It's probably a really effective tactic against human players since the window to kick out is so small. Cheap, but effective.

If you don't cut promos or actively seek a feud, the game should just book you against them on NXT TV.

I don't think that's actually true. I'm slowly climbing the ranks of the tag team division and since art imitates life, my dude Triple H never actually shows up on the card and I end up only working singles matches against Dean Ambrose (though tag team run-ins will feature Trips coming out with me). Your rankings increase with popularity, I think. Put on good matches and you'll rise faster. "Faster" being a relative term here.

I think im in a weird situation where i've been beating people too easily and only putting on 3.5 star matches, therefore never raising popularity.

Also im not 100% certain on how promos work but i think im doing okay.

But god drat I shouldnt be crushing the champion like 5 times in a row without getting a title shot or a better ranking, 2k

My Hulk Hogan was removed from. Community creations. It sucks too, I had 699 downloads before they took him off. I was hoping I could just coast on that one to hit the silver rank.

Not a certainty, but I doubt it was a targeted removal. Looking at community creations today, there seems to be a lot of missing uploads that were available up until recently. They really need to figure out what is going on there, the hashtags barely work and apparently CAW's with a lot of logo's are currently causing save data corruption for many.

I personally preordered digitally, but i know gamestop usually handles the preorder content by printing a code on the recept, your best chance is to go to walmart and look for a gamecase with a "PLAY AS GOLDBERG" tag on it

I think some of it is they have some sort of "did you mean..." system like google results in place that they also give you results close to what you searched for in case you mistyped or are trying to sound out a word you haven't seen written. Talking about Bruiser Brody, I tested searching for "brodie" once instead of "brody" and it gave me all the same results. They're still figuring out how to balance the thing, I think. Searching for "chikara" used to bring up a ton of results for the joker - I assume "did you mean joker instead of chikara?" - but it doesn't do that anymore, so hopefully they're working on improving that.

EDIT - Just did RnR Express vs The Rockers, tornado tag elimination match. Jannetty got locked into his crawling animation and the RNRs stopped registering that he was there, so they double teamed me until they beat me. Now they're just standing around looking confused while Jannetty crawls forever.

Eugh that happened to me in a Royal Rumble match in 2k14. Somebody got stuck on the top rope like a gargoyle and the A.I. couldn't find him. We played through a 40 man Rumble thinking the A.I. would knock him down once there was nobody else in the ring or the "three guys left in the ring" cutscene would trigger. Nope.

I also had a joke Create-a-Finisher called The Aztec Suplex, which was not the Ultimo Dragon Aztec Suplex it was a generic slap to the face followed by a schoolboy. I gave it to an incredibly weak, super resilient, and somewhat unsettling CAW of Ma-Ti from Captain Planet, whose signature to set it up was a dramatic slow motion shove.
Anyway for some reason about 40% of the time when used on a bot the Aztec Suplex animation would freeze after the roll up, but the game would still count to three. Eventually the animation would release and Ma-Ti would be declared the winner. This was obviously hilarious, so we kept it, and from then on any non-elimination match had this idiotic extra element of having to make sure anybody playing Ma-Ti was never left alone with a CPU player. It also worked on the beefed up Undertaker from Beat the Streak mode so Ma-Ti had an absurd 3-minute squash for the hardest mode in the game.

drat man I actually want to buy this dumb game again because it's probably broken in all kinds of fun ways.

I've been playing a lot of WWE Champions on iOS since launch. It's the Bejeweled style game. It's gotten a lot more liberal with the premium currency, now you can roll the dice on getting a new character about once a week.

I play it enough that I gave them the $5 for the beginner pack, but you could easily play it without spending any money.

Well, if the Switch is the replacement for the Wii U and the 3DS, it's much more likely that Spike Chunsoft would be making a Danganronpa, Fossil Fighters, Shiren the Wanderer or Pokemon Mystery Dungeon game for the system. It's not impossible, but don't get your hopes up.

Nope, Career is explicitly supposed to be modern WWE.

One of the main things that frustrates me about TEW is how it handles transitions in company size. I'm playing as WWE and rose from National to Global, but then after the grace period ended I crashed back down to National. My booking was consistent, it wasn't like I was booking shows that lost me popularity or anything. It's not really intuitive.

I usually cap my company at National to prevent this, but I forgot this time and whoops now my game is screwed
