Somebody change his name?

Preloaded this morning on steam.

Hasney's updates have me excited to see how broken it really is lol

You'll be hit with a Balisto Bomb if you don't look closer.

This whole thing is just incredible
2 generations and all these have managed to do is get worse.

I see a crap ton of patches coming

Ha, I'm currently cashing in Money in the Bank every single week on Epico in career mode and grinding out money, influence and loot boxes. I've found a way to exploit the glitches!

And if the past is anything to go on, said patches will break as much stuff as it fixes.

Downloading now, very surprised it came out on pc so fast, usually takes several months after the consoles get it.

Goldberg is such a straight alpha male he was immediately repelled at the sight of an arse in his face.

Wonder if there's going to be a patch to remove all pyro effects, just to make it more authentic. :shifty:

For those interested in the digital version for the Switch, need at least 1 GB of free space on the internal harddrive and 32GB of free space on a flash memory card.

IGN gave it a 7.0/10 which is the lowest score they've given a WWE game in ages.

The fact that WWE and 2k refuse to just take a year off is so stupid

Ubisoft gave Assassins Creed a rest and they seem to have revamped that whole thing

:lol: still might be too generous

Good lord thats glitch, definitely staying away from this.

Then the match after was this:

While the actual match was this

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DMahLHhXUAAV2J7.jpg:large

I get tempted by this every year no matter how shit it looks. I don't buy all that many games so it's not as though $60 would break the bank. The part that would inevitably piss me off is that I'd be spending $60 for maybe a month or so of playing before I get unbelievably bored and put the game in the drawer forever.

Career mode could actually be good if it worked. As it is, I can't atop playing just to see how else I break it.

thats one helluva injury

Seems to be a few players online unlike the last game, though i'm sure that won't last. Bloody annoying when you get to play some arsehole who's lagging as it seems to make your systems framerate dive down to half what it should be for some reason, like playing in slow motion almost.

Doesnt everyone just use running grabs over and over anyway?

There's a few different type of Cunts that play this game:

Cunt A basically does the running grapple over and over and is either ocd as fuck to the point he's got it down to a pathetically fine art, or is running some type of hack to ensure he gets it time and time again as its virtually impossible to reverse. Likewise when you actually get a grapple attempt on him 99% of the time he counters it.

Cunt B is the asswipe that bails out of the ring every time he gets hit and starts circling the ring to try and make the ref collide with the opponent to trigger that "referee hold back" animation so he can run in and get a cheap hit\grapple.

Cunt C is the laggy bastard that is somehow at home playing with a shit framerate and playing the game in slow motion, just an annoyance to play against.

Cunt D is the Cunt that's somewhat new to the game and actually plays it "normally" so you can have a decent match once in a while, this breed of Cunt is very rare.

That's about it, so far i can only seem to find 1-1 matches much like 2k17, anymore than that seems to take forever to gather up the players needed.

If you want to play online, use Road to Glory. Different gimmick every day and there's a proper progression.

I honestly think goat simulator may be more stable than this.

Don't think you can until Oct. 20, 3AM/12AM (EDT/Pacific)...or does it just take forever and half a million years to find an opponent?

Yeah, it's playable right now. In fact, you have to play it before Friday to qualify for TLC.

Hearing there are a lot of really great CAWs that are using Angle, RVD, or Batista images/moves so it's blocking people from downloading them.

Same thing happened last year, but people were nice enough to copy said CAWs and remove the DLC-related stuff so everyone else can download them. But this year a lot more people are apparently putting their shit on lockdown so they can't be copied. So if you don't want to shell out extra money, too bad.

I know "beggars can't be choosers" and all that but still seems kinda shitty.

When is the DLC with Beth Pheonix, etc available? I bought the Deluxe Edition on Steam, so I have the Season Pass. It's either not available yet, or I just dont know how to access it

Oh... So I just have to sit and watch the loading circle until one of the 3 other people in the known universe jumps on against me. Wonderful.

UPDATE: HEY HEY, I actually fought someone! Not crazy about backstage brawls, but at least it seems you get XP and stars after matches regardless of win or loss, so that's something I guess. up to 3/20 🌟 and 1200/2400XP.

Mr. E. has punched his ticket to TLC! Anyone else qualified? JW.

Really destroys the whole "one legged man in an ass kicking contest" saying

Apparently, John succumbed to the infamous Hogan Sofa Syndrome during that match. It's nasty stuff, I tell ya.

Apparently you earn XP beating on The Miz in Road to Glory mode and can just repeat the match. Sweet.

I honestly wonder if that's by design or not, because on their and CatDaddy's mobile game WWE SuperCard, you can now exploit the ad glitch for EVERYTHING and without resetting the Google advertising ID.

People will soon be running rampant with SS '17 event pros from the RD and RtG events and from MitB, I'd bet. RIP SuperCard, it's been way too long coming anyhow.

Finally won after like 6 or so tries...that "press R2 to get the red ball into the broken circle when they're lined up 8x" mini-game such a pain in the ass.

Up to prospect level 8, might as well grind out a bit more XP for the prospect level 10 trophy.

Any sign of a patch for the most broken stuff?

I didn’t buy the game last year, first game in the SmackDown/vs Raw/WWE series I haven’t purchased so I was hoping this year might draw me back in but if the career mode is so broken...

I spoke to someone at 2k support snf they were surprisingly nice, but said they have to investigate all this.

I've bought this for my sons birthday and had to 'check' it was working properly just in case I had to take it back.
Some of the entrances look amazing , particularly impressed with Roodes.
Played a six man tag match and it was so slow, took a while to focus on another wrestler and noticed there was lag between pressing the button for the reversal and the notification on screen, so found it hard to reverse.
Ultimately the kids will love it, so it's done is job for me.

When I've moved in to the new place and the present is opened you should come round and test it out.

I’ll probably get it when the price drops.

All in all, it isnt a bad game. Aside from entrance music not playing occasionally, I haven't experienced any real glitches yet. I love some of the music tho, particularly George Thorogoods "One bourbon, one shot, one beer".

Might I interest you in this thread?

So, you can have 1.5 star <1 min. matches in Universe, and then "Break Out", get and use your signature and finisher, and the match rating skyrockets to 4 stars. :lol::wtf:

MITB is rigged to shit. Been able to hit the OMG in two attempts but all which I lose because of the stupid "Roman's Sleeping" mode and idiot opponents.

Also, I'm totally with Purgatory on the soundtrack, in that I actually kinda love it.

It's just a shame we cant use those songs for entrances. Thank you for that link, man.

I had my first Rumble a little while ago and I was legit pissed when I got tossed by Slater. He was near the ropes and I rushed him to clothesline him over and the fucker ducked and back-tossed me over the top. Totally surprised me.

Does anyone know why they swapped out Ravishing Rick Rudes theme? It was wrong in WWE 2k16, they got it right in 2k17, then changed it again in this one. It just annoyed me.

Every fucking year with this. Bad enough that you can't use custom themes, but then they put more music in that you can't even use for anything.

One of those many weird decisions that 2k makes.

Yeah, I know. This is the first year I've been able to buy it on Steam, since I finally broke down and bought myself an Alienware R15 laptop a few months ago. I don't even use my Xbox One anymore.

Theres a music injector program out there that lets you replace songs, namely the odd, generic ones (Western 1, Western 2, etc) with anything you want. I'm not sure exactly how it works, but I'm also not totally sure I wanna risk ruining the game.

Theres enough music in there to get by, tho. I'm trying to build a WCW roster

That the functionality to use custom music in games on PS4 exists but only MLB The Show (created by Sony) are allowed to use that feature is just infuriating to me. Never ceases to take me out of the game when someone comes out to a generic theme.

At the end of the day I find myself turning off entrances after a while because A) seeing people enter to fake music is annoying and B) it takes less time to load when you skip entrances.

It's not that they're the only ones allowed to use that feature. File import is fine, PES does it. It's just that it's not baked into the OS anymore so Yuke's would have to actually develop a solution.

...

So that's never happening.

Operation Sports have come out with an attribute guide which makes full use of the rating system, as opposed to 2k's lazy ratings which are overinflated and only assigned in increments of 5. It does a great job of actually making everyone play more like their real life counterparts, and it gives you a greater chance of having realistic sim results along with competitive matches from guys of similar levels. The spreadsheet includes basically everyone currently in WWE including people not in the game so you can sync up your CAWs, and they're working on getting all of the legends synced up too.

As it says though, don't be blinded by the overall ratings. 80 is essentially the new 100, but the bulk of the main WWE roster fall within 40-60. It's the actual attribute ratings that set them apart.

The downside of course is that it takes ages to update everyone, but you could always update as you play along in Universe and only edit people as they come up in matches.

You're welcome. I actually like his original theme which was used as his entrance (he was DLC) in SvR '08...the tights he wears in it also awesome.

The only glitch i encounter is The ref not counting the pin in the 8 man tag matches (any variation)

Bam Bam's music is different too.

The Scientist Rick Sanchez is now Mr. Money In the Bank. Or is it Dr. Money in the Bank? Whatever (burp)

Yeah. I still dust off my copy of 08 and fire up the ol' 360 just for old times sake. 09 also...my best (IMO) CAW I ever made is still on there...a pretty spot-on Santina Marella. Only nitpicky thing I don't like is since I couldn't find the version of You Look So Good To Me with the intro she had so I ended up YT -> MP3'ing Billy and Chuck's version and using that instead. Also, think I changed Doink from face to heel and swapping his more awesome and sinister theme in.

Cashed in on Samoa Joe won and handed the title. Next night I'm not champ.

1st year MyCareer or after?

What's supposed to happen 1st year is your tag team partner (or whoever the game decides is your tag team partner at that time) interferes after you cash in to cost you in a cutscene and the match doesn't happen, so you don't win the belt. That happened to me (with yet another wrong tag partner), but it seems like it doesn't trigger for everyone for whatever reason.

First year. The Authority suspended me for attacking Samoa Joe after he hit me with a bat to end a match.

Then I was like I can cash in any time even if I'm suspended. Won the match and was declared the champion. Handed the title and on Raw after Joe was still Universal and I was still IC.

I have a feeling that just like 2k17 I won't spend one second in MyCareer.

The music, trons, entrance and victory motions for Elias, Drew, Black, Ruby, and Lars were added into the game with the most recent patch. That would seem to suggest the DLC will drop fairly soon.

Might just do give the great CAWs of them the real music. Easier to upload music and video than a character.

Eliminated 29 in the Royal Rumble for the Rock to come out and illegally enter and "win" it.

Won the Universal title later on and defended at WrestleMania. Achievement unlocked.

Online for this on pc is pretty much dead already, seem to get the same few people over and over, last night i played the 1 guy 3 times in a row and every game he quit out when he knew he was beaten.

One other guy who has a character called "blue azis" is the most obvious cheater I've ever seen, no-matter what you do to this guy his character takes no damage, hit him with specials, finishers etc and his character health never seems to change. Not to mention the convenient "incidental lag" that magically occurs every time he's vulnerable which seems to give him a chance to hit a reversal.

Not even sure why they bother with an online component as its playerbase is non existent.

I'm not sure it's the playerbase, but the matchmaking is pretty broken. Even on PS4, during the PPV and seeing people streaming waiting for a match, it was taking 2 hours to find a match for everyone and quite often you just connected to the same person twice.

I think I've played less than 10 matches online throughout the entirety of my WWE games "career" with people I didn't know. Just too much bullshit.

I remember once doing an Elimination Chamber and I was going to enter last. But 3 people in the match were teaming up and they'd taken out the other 2 dudes. So all 3 of them were standing right outside my chamber, taunting and racking up multiple specials. Took like 6 finishers the second I got out of the chamber and that was that. Lame.

It's pretty shit, every iteration of this game on pc all I've ever been able to play is 1-1 matches, trying to find even 2 opponents for a triple threat takes forever and I've never actually been able to make it happen. Hate to see what a 4 player would take, probably day or 2.

Most people on PC are actually playing firepro, apparently. According to steamspy, FPW's sales more than double that of WWE 2k so far. Might also be a lot of people waiting til black Friday to pick it up on the cheap.

They were supposed to have addressed the long matchmaking wait time stuff on PS4 in patch 1.03.

More of a console game though tbf.

LOL 100 �� to "qualify" for "qualifying" phase 2 for the Survivor Series event. I'm assuming qualifying phase 2 will be another "Do 3 out of 5 of the following tasks", which then means you get to fight in the "main event match". Would be great if we can still do the main match over and over again to grind XP.

Of course, but the PC sales can't be helped by finally having an alternative.

Be that as it may, the RtG mode is so awesome...you can go and have some seriously epic matches.

One guy I fought tonight for probably around 20-25 minutes, and despite falling just short, got a 5 * rating. Another guy, I lasted until my torso had sustained gray damage, and not just like, I got immediately pinned after my torso went gray, but for like 5, maybe 10 minutes like that and red head damage to boot.

Seriously. If you give it a shot, you'll see the vast majority of online opponents are legit.

Also, History's Greatest, Mr. E., has now qualified for Survivor Series. I secretly want the "main event" to be an 8-man (4 v. 4 ONLY) elimination tag match.

Anyone here really good with the face photo import?

WWE2k18 Punching dummy Sawyer Fulton (rated 69) has been released from the WWE. Thank you Sawyer for all of the achievements I won beating you.

Defeated AJ @ WM to win the WWE Championship. Now time for Mr. E., K.O. and Mojo Rawley to take over SmackDown! LIVE.

Patch 1.04 notes.

ctrl+F "career": 0 results.

Bahahahaha they really give 0 fucks.

The patch made the entrances/music/titan trons for the NXT DLC unselectable once again, but CAWs who had that stuff assigned to them before the most recent patch will still use it. They even fixed Elias' tron to be his main roster tron (the initial one said Elias Samson).

Speaking of Elias, the soon to be DLC version of him has also been spotted in Career mode.

Maybe they will add a Smackdown TV show movie intro next patch?

Don't be silly

Anyone choose any odd tag champ pairings?

Like Kane and Bushwacker luke or Lex Luger and Christian?

I was teamed with Kane to face Breezango.

Are the Brothers of Correction the tag champs yet?

i'm in like 2020 and the champs are the Bar and the Usos like they are right now.

Week 3 May RAW 2019, Teaming up with Mark Henry against Gallows and Anderson.

This turd is pretty much unplayable online now, theres so few players that anytime i get a game i get playing with some cunt with circa 1995 internet connection, which for some fucked up reason works in his favour. Reversing them is near impossible and the game seems to make your character do random actions instead of what you're trying to do, i.e: i go to pose and suddenly my character tries to pick the opponent up from the mat, i run and try and hit a punch and my character doesn't bother trying to do a punch but would just prefer to bounce around the ropes for half an hour.

Not to mention the insane input lag, i press a direction and a second later my character responds to it, how in the fuck do the retards that make these game not see that as a serious issue? The games literally a button mashing competition and fuck all else. Apparently matching you to a player with a low latency isn't an option and they would rather connect you to some prick in the arsehole of nowhere who connects via smoke signals.

Have had very little issues with Road to Glory online matches.

HOW'S THE CAW ON THIS GAME? I WANNA MAKE THE ODDITIES. ALSO,,,ANY GOOD SOUTH PARK RASSLER PAGES?

Enzo goes down and I win some sort of space helmet. wot

Can get this for £33 ($43). Worth it?

I'd wait. Do they have black friday there?

Corbin goes down and I win a randy orton viper helmet? wtf.

IKR? Wish I didn't have to wait to qualify to fight Brock and(/or) AJ.

They do but a lot of places stretch it over a week (to avoid people fighting over Flat Screen Televisions). I don’t think 17 went any cheaper than £33 though. They used to drop to £20 a couple of years ago.
