I'm 22-7 and have yet to draw a single Diva card other than my starting AJ, so I can't do King of the Ring, which is annoying. Virgils and Usos of various sorts, I have many.

I just love some of the stat choices they made, especially with the commons. For instance, did you know Randy Orton is more charismatic than The American Dream Dusty Rhodes? It came as a surprise to me!

Has anyone found any Mick Foley cards because if they put Adam Rose and John Studd in this game and left out Foley I'll be quite mad indeed.

Wasn't Christian either a 67 or 68 in HCTP?

69! Rico and Steven Richards were the lowest dude at 63! It was a 30 point spread (63-93) between highest and lowest guys as opposed to this years 14 (82-96).

E: also, Steph McMahon was the lowest OVR woman at 44. I doubt that is still her stat.

Is the game just going to be a viewer for looking at the newest and best possible 3D model of John Cena from a variety of angles? I mean I Gameflyed 2K15 for PS3 and it was just 2K14 but tangibly worse in a variety of ways, so you'd think that would at least be a baseline?

One cool little detail is how during an Elimination Chamber match, when Ziggler and Bryan started fighting, Lawler started talking about how Ziggler's gone on record to say that he would love nothing more than to do a 60-man iron man match with Bryan and how that would be such a fun match to see.

In other news, a few months ago, I asked for help on this article on weird wrestling video game moments. Unfortunately, since it wasn't topical, my editors shelved it for later. With WWE 2K15 out, they finally posted it. Thanks again for everyone who gave me a hand with that.

The 25 Weirdest Moments in Wrestling Video Games

This was a really good article. I loved them mention of Bam Bam's Wrestlemania epilogue. My brother and I used to play Wrestlemania at the pizza place, and the first time he cleared the game (he always played Bam Bam), we saw that and were so disturbed it put us off the game for months.

From watching streams (I don't have a PS4) it seems the funniest part of MyCareer is that while you are an unknown NXT prospect who hasn't yet had your first match against a real person much less a title opportunity, you can have Roman Reigns or Stephanie McMahon out there managing you.

The streamer either already played through MyCareer or has unlocked all content by other means. You start off w/ most of the divas division, Ricardo, and Zeb coulter as options. As you play through the game you unlock more (Regal, etc). The heel storyline, such as it is, lets you join the authority and then you can be managed by a Shield guy (I guess in case you wanted to make a Marty Stu Shield member) and the Helmsleys. Beating Brock gives you Heyman. So no, none of the manager options are immersion-breaking or w/e

Ah I did not realize that they were unlockable. Yeah the stream I was watching had the Accelerator installed. Sorry.

Raw 2 was fun because I liked to imagine that in some alternative universe 2003 Raws had small segments in between every match and promo where my guy, let's say Scott Steiner would follow someone, say Mark Henry, around all night begging him to be his manager, let him be my manager, form a team, rob him, etc. All while Trish was in week 13 of her Undisputed Title reign.

Both Raw and DOR did a thing where you could, in the CAW process, give your dude a weapon (or a riot shield or a watermelon...) and he would bring it to the ring and you could attack your opponent with it. SVR never had that.

I literally have only gotten four different divas above Uncommon this entire time, including the Paige cards from the ladder. I'm all for using Divas more but then how about dropping some more decent Diva cards so I have the chance to get a Pro or pair people together as a tag team properly?

I still hate the prize structure of KOTR mode since the Survivor tier came out. It is literally impossible for me to progress, since I need Pro Survivors for that, and the only way to get a Survivor card, outside of a random pull, requires getting to the second round of the KOTR bracket, which I cannot do, since so many people have Pro Survivors, while I have none.

Boy, unlocking the level 2 finishers in Immortals is a game changer. Paige and Roman are both one shotting everyone they come across. It's funny to me how much stronger, statwise, Paige is over Roman level for level. It doesn't make him look strong.

Also I think something went wrong. I just did Battle 11, which is listed as Daniel Bryan and the Yes Movement challenging me to a brawl. However when I got to the top of the rankings, there was no DB but there was a silver Brock with 2000 health. It was weird.

I caved and bought a Silver booster pack so I could keep progressing up the singleplayer campaign, which in battle 12 has started adding silvers with 2-3000 health and 1500 attack, so my team is now Authority HHH, Yes Movement DB, and Sorceress Paige. I like my team.

This is a mistake, because you're going to get to the next tier and then be completely stalled because silver just doesn't cut it after about halfway through the third tier. Should have ground out the 75k for gold. Once you get one of them poo poo becomes a joke, and the payouts start getting way bigger (up to 15k for one ladder in single player) and it gets way easier to build your team.

I just got another gold D-Bry, and made my current one legendary. Not sure how big of a boost I got from that because I forgot to look at the before/after stats.

Ok, so I messed up. At least having HHH will make it easier to grind out that 75K. What's the preferred grinding method in this game? Do I just run Battle 11 (the last one I can effortlessly win) over and over? Go back to tier 1 and fight Kane repeatedly?
