Same, only 3D. Pressing buttons actually does things now, but still has that feel of "I have no control over what's happening on screen". The game also likes to slow the gently caress down when more than three people are on screen, which happens every match.

EDIT: Thank god, a new page.

I haven't played the 2d ones but for this I still am unsure how reversals or submissions work, I think it's dependent on what moves you are doing. I also find running grapples to be kind of a crap shoot.

Some guys no sell everything you do and get up in less than a second even when having no health, some guys tap in 15 seconds :mdickie:

Another match against Lesnar.

Can't say no to money like that.



Poor Brock.














Fighting the boss.














Don't feel like it.







Training day.





Nope.






It's as generic as you can imagine music would be in a Mdickie wrestling game. But sure.





OOH, we get a title shot even though I don't think the kid qualifies as a lightweight these days.









Stephanie McMahon shows up.











It's not easy to maintain a friendship with a corpse.







Two rings and a big cage.






I want to fight him on top and throw him off.



He goes over but won't come back up.



Guess I'll win by count out.










Again?








You have no health, one hit and you'll lose again...
















From Lightweight Champion to Valet.

Part XVII: Winning Matches










I hate these cages, they mess with with the camera pretty badly.














I wonder if any MMA promotion has done a wrestling style tag team match. I know someone tried a five on five tornado tag a year or two ago...



Emma won't tag.






These guys are tough.




MDickie plans on making an MMA game in the future. He'll probably use the same engine he's been using for years.
















Sure.















The rope physics in this game always make me laugh.







Nope.





:laffo:








Add some creative, health and guarantees...





Tired of facing the same people over and over again so let's see what our friends in Federation Online are doing.
























Nah, tag matches suck.

It took me forever to realize Heyman is my partner and Rhyno is the ref.



Actually, I'm not even sure that's Rhyno.



Unfortunately, Heyman got pinned.








Yes, I'd love to endorse a trophy!





Sounds like a clusterfuck.



OK, it's a date!













Respect the trophy.








And the following week... Another Hogan match!










Contract's up.








Hey! It's Shane McMahon! Guess when you're crippled you can still wrestle, I guess just your stats can't ever go up again.

I'm sure it's just random, I remember once in my first play through being offered $0 with no benefits for 40 something weeks by Federation Online while I think Maple Leaf gave me 5k a week. My popularity was somewhere in the 80s.

I collapse on the way to the ring.

They'll usually beat you while you're down or sometimes go off somewhere/fight the ref/climb up and fall off something. If they do ever get around to pinning you it'll probably be a 3 count.

"Hey, Dominator, you just cost me that match! If you mess with my career, I'll end yours..."

I love how when you beat on the refs enough they just gently caress right off instead of disqualifying you. I think this might be based on your popularity though.
