Does ANYBODY bug test these games? I mean holy shit.

Started Universe since I downloaded enough NXT guys now and Raw is opening with a Tamina promo... Lord have mercy.

EDIT: LMAO, crowd were booing the intro and opening pyro to Raw

#BROKEN WWE 2k17

Just treat it like Final Deletion.

Promos do add a bit to Universe, like I had a line as Charlotte before Sasha interrupted and we got into a fight.

Unfortunatley, that went to shit when the commentary started talking about it being a no contest and a reg teleported in to hold me back. Jesus.

I feel like I'm going to end up buying this when it's like 50% off just to have the novelty of owning a game as bad as Big Rigs Off Road Racing

Yup, and now you can't skip the show intro including repetitive commentary!

I've felt like that for a few years now.

The last WWE game I bought was 2K14 but I never played it. I never even took it out of the cellophane.

From what I've played (and seen from 2K14 onward), the quality of WWE games has went down in my opinion since around SvR10 and from what I've seen and read so far, 2K17 is just taking the piss now. It's just not funny now how bad the games have gotten. It's actually pretty sad in a way.

To me, WWE games were always highly anticipated and when I played them I had hours, days, weeks and months of fun playing them. The last WWE game from the main series I truly enjoyed was probably SvR07. These days, I don't even bother buying them and I'm finding myself associating the games with terrible glitches than I do with them being enjoyable.

Maybe a complete overhaul will help.

A completely new developer and publisher.

I got 2k15 to break in my new PS4 and I barely touched it. Then after keeping it aside for months, I started playing again, spent even more money to download all the DLC packs, and went right back to getting bored with it.

Didn't get last year, won't get it this year. Prior to this the only game in the entire franchise I didn't get was SVR08.

I remember the threads for these games back in the day. It was like clockwork. Right around WM time the thread starts, we get some really early screenshots and news, then several months of roster predictions. Then they eventually drop the roster on us, IGN did its "SmackDown Countdown" which everybody looked forward to every day. More and more news pumped in. And then the game drops and we'd already be at like 50 pages.

Nowadays the games give you very little to be excited about.

So I just bought this for PS3 (fuck you). I'm gonna try it after I catch up on Smackdown. Have I made a mistake? Is anyone enjoying themselves?

I'm OK with Universe mode. Only problem is that the updates they've made on the new consoles haven't been made for the old ones, so if you played one since 2k14, it'll mostly be the same.

I think the last one I bought was 13. Whichever one had Punk on it.

Just fired it up. The game data installation screen leaves a bit to be desired.

If anything the series really needs to follow the Call of Duty model with multiple developers. Probably the only way a new engine or real meaningful changes get made to the series.

Yukes being really cheap and reliable for the series are the only reasons why they keep getting away with using stuff from the PS1 era and the constant tech/glitch issues.

Doubt a new publisher would drastically fix things considering 2K Games once tried to get a major overhaul done but it would have required a delay and the WWE refused to allow it to happen. Also doesn't help the games get released during WWE's yearly down period which provides a big boost to WWE's fiscal reports for those quarters.

Alright, I'm on. What should I do first? I have to go hang out with my girlfriend in like half an hour.

I mean, uhhhh...can't wait to hang out with her, or whatever.

Kevin Owens is about to take on Titus O'Neill on Main Event in Denver. This should be amazing.

I did a couple package piledrivers, but I couldn't pull off a pop up powerbomb. Sup with that?

This song on the soundtrack with Action Bronson is tight AF. I might not even play and jam to this for a bit.

So glad I canceled my preorder of this. I let the Heyman trailer get the better of me and preordered, but I immediately regretted it and canceled a couple days later. I really dodged a bullet with this one it seems.

I was having a nice little tag match with The Revival and American Alpha, and for some reason when Dash Wilder was attempting a pin on Chad Gable, he stood up and started delivering offense while the ref still counted two. After that, Dash was just frozen in place and I couldn't move him, while Gable would just move around and not attack him. Since I'm just trying to do a bunch of matches to unlock people and I don't really care about winning, I switched to Dawson and grabbed a sledgehammer to hit Gable with so the match could end via DQ. Fucking bullshit.

Soundtrack is really good though. I also like how it continues playing the theme of the winner from the last match when it takes you back to the menu.

...it is supposed to be doing that, right?

Just had a really fun AJ Styles/John Cena match at SummerSlam. I got way too into it for some reason. I'm not mad about this purchase yet.

What are the odds of Gillberg coming out on RAW to confront Paul Heyman and then pulling a Snickers bar out of his trunks and turning into Goldberg

#yourenotyouwhenyourehungry
#Snickersreallyadvertises

Funny that Payday is sponsoring RAW/SD a lot now.

#nutbarbattle
#dressupmizandziggleragain

At least with the return of online entrances it means that Whose Gimmick Is It Anyway is back

When a guy has two finishers in the same situation, you do one by moving the left stick and hitting triangle and one with no direction on the left stick and triangle. Pop up powerbomb is the one with no direction.

2k has really upped their game on this one. Not content to leave in a bug that wipes your wwe 2k17 data, this year there's a bug that wipes all the save data from your ps4.

"The fans spoke. And we listened."

-2k games

People kept saying they should be like No Mercy...

Honestly, I'm still looking forward to my copy arriving. Say what you will about some of 2k's bonehead decisions (5' 10? Really 2k?) but I really feel like they've made a lot of great improvements to gameplay the last few years. I've had tons of "epic" matches, and Ihaven't encountered glitches enough where it affects my enjoyment of the game.

If a new fire pro does come out however, this may be my last wwe game for a very long time.

There's no GM or Career mode on PS3. :|

There's no GM mode generally, but yeah, no career on the old consoles.

I thought I was reading about a GM mode?

Older console versions have pretty much just been roster updates, the last few years. All the big new features are only in the new versions.

Well from what ive played so far, im liking it. I didnt get 16 so a number of things seem 'new' to me even if they are just updates from last year. Havent started career or universe, just been mucking around in matches outside of that. I like the new triple threat and how you pull the title down in ladder matches, table matches are still pretty dumb though. No glitches either.

Has anyone tried online yet? What are the differences between the two options?

I've only downloaded some stuff from community creations, which I am happy to report is much faster and smoother than last.

The lag is utter garbage though. You press X to kick out and the bar flies all the way past the green area anyway.

Invisible belt shot of doom

Remember the days when games were actually finished when they got shipped out?

I really miss those days.

Won the tag titles in career and unlocked the Heyman Guy challenges and... It's almost the same as the hall of fame checklist last year.

I didn't realise Curtis Axel had so many accolades before Heyman noticed him....

There's a bug where you don't need to be a multi-time champion for the Heyman guy challenges. Got the 3 time tag one by just defending it 3 times.

I'm glad I curbed my hype for this game. The gameplay and added features are great, and I think this would be a really great wrestling game, if it weren't a broken mess. Like, I had to check and see that Yukes didn't still own NJPW and weren't sabatoging wwe's product for taking their stars. It's that bad this year that the thought legitimately crossed my mind.

Who's Match Is It Anyway?

How on earth did any of this get through development? What a joke.

Like I've actually heard mostly good things about the gameplay, but I wouldn't feel right buying a game with so many other features #BROKEN

Yup, they needed to be because if it was buggy it would result in a massive recall and refunds all round. Now with online they can sell it in an unfinished state then start applying patches to fix it. Online and patches really has made game development a farce.

https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...0a&oe=58653894

At least there's a ridiculously good Ciampa available

I took that caw and gave him a gimmick change. Perhaps the baby faced assassin will invade your career.

I mean literally, he has a baby face.

Another save wiping bug: Too many logos/textures downloaded

Yes, I figured out they're bullshit.

You've just got to match your response to the type of crowd you're in which the box will tell you. The opposite also works if you're a heel. But the snippets of promo you see aren't enough to work that out so it turns to random guesswork.

I'm sure some place around here will be selling the game at a crazy low price on Black Friday. Might buy it just so I can #DELETE it.

So if you had to rank this against every other wrestling game ever msde kn what percentile would it be in? I havent played a wrestling game since Fire ProReturns

1-0 online. I retire undefeated.

If the big flaws, like the title match problem in universe, and the save bug on community creations get ironed out, etc., then this will be top 5 for me. That's the heartbreaker in all this. Underneath all the glitchy broken shit , tjere is actually a really great wrestling game. I have had some absolutely epic, fun matches since buying the game, but they've all been in exhibition, since the more dynamic game modes are all buggy shit shows.

Also, when I was a kid I would dream up my "perfect wrestling game", and even with my unrealistic, child imagination, I couldn't even dream of what we can do today with the creation suite. It's really incredible when you take a step back and look at it.

So yeah, it's pretty bad right now with all the game mode glitches. I feel like the gameplay glitches have been exaggerated over the years, as I've never encountered them anywhere near enough to affect my enjoyment of tne game. But still, the game never should have shipped out in this state, and I think next year I'll be waiting til later to buy it, after all the patching is done.

Games I like better:

3 Count Bout
All-Girl Wrestling: Ultimate Angels
Def Jam Vendetta/Fight for NY
Fire Pro Series
Jikkyo Power Pro Wrestling '96: Max Voltage
Kinnikuman Muscle Grand Prix
The Main Event
VPW/N64 WCW/WWF games
Smackdown 1 - HCTP
Natsume Championship Wrestling
Rumble Roses
Saturday Night Slamasters
Tecmo World Wrestling
Ultimate Muscle
Wrestle Kingdom
King of Colloseum
Toukon Redetsu
WWE All Stars

New Firepro is exciting, but what I really want is King of Colosseum 3. Second one is my favorite wrestling game, from a gameplay standpoint. And I imagine the licenses of all the non njpw promotions are a lot cheaper now.

I want KOC so bad you guys.

I might get flak for this, but the haters can all kiss my ass anyway: I REALLY enjoyed the PS2/XBOX series, Legends of Wrestling (not to be confused with WWE Legends of WrestleMania). Like way more than I should have.

They were ok not as broken as 2k has been

There was no story mode in those games. It was cool hearing Heenan and Tony again.

The story was you went into that region, and fought to get to the champ fool.

Ok so the "story mode" was just a ladder tournament.

Legends of Wrestling II had a really cool career mode.
You started out small fighting at high school gyms and bingo hall-like arenas.
Eventually graduating to the international stage. It was a neat feature to see what superstars belonged to each region. The owner of each region apparently were based on real life promoters.
The concept was cool but..man..the third one was not as fun. The roster got really bad ass but the career mode was just random match-ups. Winning the game just handed you a crappy picture of Hogan :|

Yeah not a broken game at all

Not even fixing the Ura Shouten by the looks of things. Glitching continues.

Well that's pretty much all my problems taken care of. Still, game never should have been released in that state.

Game seemed more #BROKEN than Matt Hardy and Hasney combined.

And I'm so broken I stopped using post icons

Can conform that Ura Shouten still keeps an opponent down for 60 seconds, even at full health.

And introducing: David Schwimmer as Razor Ramon

https://puu.sh/rYGXH/114d676c90.png

So no one told you this game was gonna be this way
The games a joke, it's broke
It's far from A-okay.

I apologise for that.

it's not real unless it starts with hey yo

In career show intros are fixed and now show logo of the show along with the pyro and ballyhoo.

Still can't have a tag team finisher with my career partner (The Miz.)

stuck in endless feud with darren young. Miz and I keep facing him and Braun Stroman in tornado tag team matches every week.

Switched to a new division and the feud ended and I just won the Royal Rumble Match! STD is going to the main event of WrestleMania!

A feud involving Darren Young that feels like it'll never end and the same match every week?

That sounds pretty realistic to me.
