I remember liking SVR09, the CAW leveling system was trash but it didn't play too badly, it looked good, the AI didn't stand still, it had the two reversal buttons so the online gameplay was a little more than sprinting around and using the four or five moves with weird timing windows.

These games have had huge problems for a decade plus though, I think "the one you like" is usually just "the one you bought when you were in the mood to deal with the bullshit," "the one you bought after not touching the series for five years" etc

This is actually cool as hell and I feel like it's something I've put in the "why can't they just..." pile fumbling through CAW mode one time. He goes through it so many times and I don't think the attires repeat! Feel the same way about goofy story mode stuff and fights that are closer to video game bosses than WWE matches. So they have good direction on the paint job stuff this year, just the...game is gonna be the game.

DLC extra parts reminds me of one of my least favorite things about the dumb WWE games: you see something cool on creation center, but because the guy used Elbow Smash 5 and Kneepad 27 from the $15 Candice Michelle, Jesse and Festus Retro DLC, you can't download it.

Still not sure there's any other way to do it for Fire Pro, and anyway it seems like most of the energy of people making a massive amount of stuff was around launch.

I'm used to the UI, I just hope Microsoft Access 95 or whatever the gently caress he uses doesn't hold back the AI decisions, processing time part of the game. Wrestling companies have a lot of turnover!

The gameplay of 2k19 is decently customizable (stuff like making resiliency charge faster has a big effect) but I wish there was an option to just do the pins/submissions without the minigame, treat you like an AI.

A lot of modern games don't care about local multiplayer anymore but these games are, like, actively hostile.

is there anything wrong with the NBA 2K games that would be a red flag here? looking over VC's history they've been responsible for some really good poo poo, including NFL 2k5 on the Xbox, but... that might not be reflective of the company they are in 2019

e: like VC once made a football game so good, it basically ended up being football's equivalent to No Mercy and having people respond to every following Madden with "meh 2k5 was better," so this has me a little happier than not, at the moment

but i also don't play the NBA games so if those are butt i'm worried

Iirc the gameplay is still fine but they're obsessed with Ultimate Team-style cashgrabs on the online multiplayer playerbase to the detriment of almost everything else, including franchise mode.

The difference is that FIFA, NBA2K, probably even Madden still give you a functional competitive multiplayer experience. Are some strategies and player types overpowered? Of course. Does a game between two decent players even superficially look like the real sport? No. Pay to win? gently caress yeah. But the foundation for players to get on and have fun is so far ahead of the WWE games.

A lot of people blame the developers for the bad online, and a lot of the time there's lag they never fix or dumbass unblockable moves they never patch. But I think fundamentally, you aren't going to get a wrestling game that both tries to do the sim stuff and works as a competitive fighter or as a competitive sports game. They'd make more money on WWE All Stars 2.

I figured they'd try to lead with online multiplayer because that's where the big money is, they're loving 2K, and they won't be able to nickel and dime you on hats and Special Attribute Packs if the core online multiplayer isn't worth spending any time with at all (as has been the case forever). But it's also the one thing conceptually where like...I have no idea how to fix it.

If I'm running around all the time and spamming stupid moves because I want to win the game, and you think that's dumb as poo poo because that's not how wrestling works, even if you kick my rear end because I'm bad you're still not going to have a good time.

Still not buying that poo poo. I think I got 18 or 19 through psPlus, played it for 20 minutes to realize the controls were complete rear end.

They have "new streamlined controls" this year, whatever that means, which reminds me of the time the Applebee's waitress told me they have "new meat."

Seriously I liked 2K19, but I probably only engaged with 10% of the game (creation modes, exhibition Reversal Festivals against the AI). A lot of the modes seem really barebones. I'm used to the controls out of habit (I think they've kept them the same since whichever one of these I bought for 360?) but there are some janky match types like HIAC, some janky moments where your wrestler turns like a big rig etc

Tweaking the AI must be absolute hell considering how little work has been done on it even by the standards of the series. Getting it to engage with the gimmicks, getting Randy Orton to work a slower match than Mustafa Ali - like, you have to think they want to do these things.

The personality sliders, except for "taunt" and "don't taunt," and the one that makes them run away sometimes - who knows what they do. But it's not like I remember the old "favorite moves" being used more, or the old "templates" like striker and submission doing anything. I do remember Undertaker and only Undertaker being a bitch to beat in SYM, but I was 11

I had 2k18 for PC and 2k19 for PS4 - I think having more stuff on CC gives these games more longevity than having the mods, which are really finicky, but 2k19 was also a better game

If you look at other forums there is a huge base of people who buy the game the day it comes out regardless of quality

It’s not too dissimilar to other sports games honestly in that regard

Also don't forget the DLC pass usually costs $20-30 so you get the hardcore fans spending $80-90 to buy it day one. Which, especially this year, looks completely unacceptable
