i love mdickie games bc you can just press random buttons and directionals and get a cool flow and badass moves going. Fire Pro is great but I hate having to look up the combo I need to do a piledriver. In Mdickie games its just so intuitive I just "know" how to pull one off after playing a little bit, I dont need to go into the menu and memorize sequences and combos

FirePro is a direction and a button. Soft-medium-hard-finish. The timing takes getting used to but there’s no inputs to memorize.

I guess my phrasing was wrong. When I play Fire Pro I constantly have to find myself "using my brain" to pull things off. Like okay, I gotta throw this guy into the turnbuckle, then count the seconds so I can press B at the right time, then do XYZ.

Maybe I just havent played enough fire pro, but to me it always feels like I have to "plan" through everything and watch for the timing based parts. Whereas in Mdickie games I can think of a spot and pull it off without thinking.

I guess it's more the timing (and atrocious striking) I dont like. Both are fantastic games, but ive learned quickly to stick with the sim sode for Fire Pro and if i want to actually control a wrestler I boot up Mdickie

I've made non-standard fire pro venues by now, since I got more comfortable with the arena edit mod.

A spooky forest


A sunny beach


A filthy dump


I'll hopefully be able to make more soon, it's kinda fun when it all comes together.

And and this isn't really a custom venue but putting a crowd in the background instead of infinite darkness actually livens arenas up, even though you need a custom camera angle to even see it.

Maybe this is the secret sauce. WWE games are boring and bad cause they're made by people who make sports-themed slot machines for a living instead of weirdos who think to themselves "What if I made a wrestling game where you can shoot a man with a gun during a match and then go to his funeral and murder his tag team partner by throwing him off a burning tower of 17 tables into the grave of the first guy"

Who knew that what we needed in a wrestling game was the ability to accidentally kill your opponent in the ring, and then murder you opponent on the memorial show for the last guy you killed?!

Ah, so WrestleMania XIX Revenge Mode – in which you spend your time trying to sabotage WrestleMania by beating up backstage workers and then, I think, fades to black as you enter the ring at Mania and get speared by Goldberg.

Remember that one NBA 2K game directed by Spike Lee that was mostly about the main character's suck-rear end friend who fucks everything up and then dies and the career mode ends with his ghost coming out on stage with a clipboard to give a monologue about how his life went wrong?

i agree, i think spike lee and kojima should make a wrestling game story

also when i played whichever NBA this was for free on PS4 many years ago, i got drafted to the timberwolves and did so badly that they started not using me for entire games, which is funny when the story is still trying to say your character is still one of the hottest prospects in b-ball

I think about that storyline and what the gently caress its thinking that I would ever think that Vic was justified. I watch the Super Best Friends LP often just to hear them rag on it.

100% worth the price it's my fav wrestling game. I wish someone would make a mod similar to that CK3/Mount and Blade mod where you could take the booking mode from Fire Pro and then battle out the matches in Wrestling Empire.

But if you're even casually interested in it I'd def take the plunge you wont regret it. Btw a helpful tip for me starting out in career mode is that you can use the menu to train, you don't always have to go to the gym and manually do it.

Yup. Just plug in a controller to your computer and it'll work (or at least it does for me with my cheap amazon knockoff 360 controller) just plug n play.

Getting supremely tired of 2k22 crashing while running a Universe Mode show and then I have to re-make it because if you quit out of the game or it crashes during a show and then re-open the game half the matches you put on the show are just gone and replaced with random poo poo the CPU made up. Astonishing that for all the stuff they did fix in this game they somehow left Universe mode even more broken than it was before.
