I'm liking My Career, much more right to the action this time, and I love that every interview ends with an awkward 'mhm' smile and nod because they didn't want two days of voice recording to get 'well that's that' or something. Also how do you do run ins and breakouts in Universe, I only tinkered with it for a second but couldn't find it.

^^^Yea but you have to get through the tutorial and your first default rivalry with Breeze first. It takes a bit but you'll be able to run in and gently caress with people freely fairly soon, they just want to ease you into the whole rivals and tag team buddy system I guess. Haha there's an interview question on if you've played the game or not and you can either be a good employee and say 'yea what kid watching WWE doesn't want to be a superstar too' or heel it up and poo poo talk the game. Kinda loving some of these interviews.

Jenny Angel posted:I remember in the leadup to 2k15, folks were really excited about a new career mode that wasn't just about going on a winning streak, it was about building a fan base by putting on matches with diverse spots, building feuds that the audience cared about, etc. It seemed really cool Pretty poo poo! Luckily 16 added a lot to it and while it's not perfect by far it's much more in line with the 'this is about reaching the hall of fame and telling your story' more than 'just keep winning matches that get tweeted at you by a lady who hasn't worked for us in actual years'.

I actually really like the look of the new UFC game, I'm watching some beta stuff and all and saw the trailer for stuff like career mode and all and it actually looks pretty neat. One big thing I saw it looks like they got rid of the old grapple/submission system and replaced it with a new thing, any beta players have any opinions about that? I found last years to be pretty annoying to use.

So since it's on early access or whatever, how on earth does the 'ultimate team' or whatever mode in UFC 2 actually work? None of the videos I've seen have done more than a glance at the cards and it looks like you get poo poo like buffs and fighting styles as well as fighters? I'm super intrigued by 'fantasy UFC' but I have no idea how that actually works.

I mean, just reading that I could muster hope for poo poo like, say, a wide array of promo options including supporting/burying my peers to change their views of me, insulting/praising others to try to force a rivalry/team-up, or just generally show charisma that maybe makes up for my average ring ability like tons of others have done to get my push to the main event sooner and cut down on the grind. Or with the backstage brawls stuff like, say, interrupting a rival's promo to fight him, or having some crazy kinda match like one old version of these games had where you could run up the ramp and actually transition into a whole new area and poo poo. I think that, then I remember this is 2K and none of that will happen, it'll be a binary 'heel promo' or 'face promo' thing and MAYBE if we're lucky the 'insult/praise' choice, and backstage brawls will just be a custom match option that will never interact with the proper career mode.

Marquis de Pyro posted:I can see the theoretical idea of 'Let's make the matches come across more like real matches' but you'd think someone would stop and say 'oh, we're making a video game where the player can't do what they want because they have to fill the script of a WWE match perfectly instead' I think this is the biggest issue they struggle with right now. Like, everyone buying these games knows there's a script, we know when Cena gets kicked out of the ring and has to pant and recover on the side it's because the script called for some time so Reigns can do some one on one work with Ambrose or whatever. We don't actually want to play that out, we like watching it, but this is a different medium. Looking at stuff like the backstage video they seem to be genuinely trying to do interesting poo poo, and getting rid of Showcase mode seems to be them wanting to focus on 'you make a cool rear end match and play it' but as long as they're shackled to 'but hey remember when the script called for this to happen? THAT WAS SO REALISTIC RIGHT? We built a major feature entirely around that one moment!' it's gonna be weakened.

I actually wound up getting that game and it left me feeling like they did. I can't in good faith genuinely say 2k is a WORSE game, but holy poo poo was this stupid funtimes bullshit the most fun I've had with a wrestling game in a while and it kinda sucks we've moved away from that era of wrasslin games.

Sometimes you want to jump 30 feet in the air for a dunk/run on walls for a touchdown/jump off 40 stacked tables in a 5 foot ring onto an 8 foot tall Ric Flair. I was so hoping NBA Playgrounds was gonna fill that niche

Info for career mode is comin out. https://www.forbes.com/sites/brianmazique/2017/09/13/wwe-2k18-mycareer-details-revealed/#64d7175d5f93 quote:It appears the objective was to build on the rather limited options from WWE 2K17. 2K has upgraded the Story Progression, added free roaming to backstage areas, updated the promo engine and MyCareer Invasion feature. quote:This involves conspiring with the GMs backstage, ambushing other WWE Superstars in the locker room or during their interviews and basically doing whatever it takes to maintain that GM’s power, both in the ring and backstage. The rewards are hefty, though! Continue helping the GM succeed, and you’ll gain access to awesome upgrades, such as the ability to orchestrate a run-in to help you win a match. You can also access Vince McMahon’s office to lobby for match card changes and title rematches. quote:In today's WWE, a fan favorite is a rebel who wins over the crowd with defiant promos and an edgy character. Here's how that persona is broken down: quote:Being a Fan Favorite means you don’t play the whole company game and you’re all about putting on the best matches and promos. You have a locker room full of WWE Superstars and Legends backstage. This route involves earning their respect by taking on different match types – night-in and night-out. You’ll also have WWE Superstars test your in-ring aptitude and skills on the microphone, but if you succeed at this, you will earn the whole locker room’s respect – and with that comes some perks. WWE Legends are always backstage during events. If you earn their respect, they’ll start to give you in-ring bonuses for your matches and promos. If you become the complete package – the guy who can walk the walk and talk the talk like Stone Cold Steve Austin or John Cena – you’ll be able to have your own customized WWE Championship or Universal Championship. This honor is only given to the best of the best.

I'm sorry but seriously why are there five Stings. There's less Mick Foley than there is Sting! There's two distinct, bespoke, Neon Stings. Who has strong opinions about which of those Stings is better?

the 2k trend of 'we did VERY detailed scans of exactly 4 people who we assume will always be the big stars and then the rest we outsourced to a team of 5 year olds working off a general description and no picture' is maybe one of my favorites.

Hey wasn't one thing the devs said they were working on was smoothing out the stats or whatever that made it so even NXT jobbers took at least 2 finishers from Cena to be counted out? Did that ever pan out or am I just talkin crazy?

For what it's worth I think the game is pretty solid this year. You can tweak stuff so the more annoying bits are less so and the universe mode is pretty drat good. I probably should have waited for a sale though.

Also I kinda like the story mode despite it being slow at first. The whole 'company man vs crowd fave' bars is a better system to put unlocks behind than 'face vs heel' and the arenas are juuuuust the right size to not be too annoying to run around. I am not a fan of A) everything cool being locked in loot crates and B) the loot crates having no 'preview' option when you unlock. Getting "Taunts 004" or "Boots 020" means literally nothing to me and it's a bit annoying to have to go into the menu to check what's new. At least with "Macho Man Boots" I know what those are but I'd still like to see em.

I mean poo poo I'll fully admit to this probably being too much to pay for it but yea 90% of my enjoyment from this is just from mashing my wrassleman figures together and having poo poo like Macho Man vs Kurt Angle main event Wrestlemania for the Million Dollar Championship that is the highest ranked belt of the WWE. Then me and my dumbass friends can have New Day vs a bunch of dead rear end wrestlers in a Unicorns vs Skeletons match while we get drunk. It's dumb but it's fun.
