It's probably worth waiting anyway. MyCareer is broken as fuck.

BAHAHA Win the triple threat and get...a fox head. :lol:

Picked it up. Had a cracking match AJ vs Lesnar whilst it was installing. Lesnar reversed a Phenominal Forearm into an F5 (there’s the finish for tonight) but I kicked out at 2, eventually winning with a Calf Crusher - surprising given I never mastered the new submission system.

Played a couple of Ladder matches trying to work out the ladder bridge stuff, and some epic spots, CPU is too interested in winning the match though.

Overall there seems very, very little difference to the game from 2 years ago.

this is your captain speaking, womp womp.

Played an 8 man tag. Fucking hell. It was like playing in slow motion.

Yeah, I don't know why they didn't make 8 man tag PC/PS4 Pro/XBox One X exclusive almost. Works fine on my Pro but I've heard so many complaints on other formats.

I just got an Xbox One X, should I buy this or UFC EA 2? Or maybe a cheaper previous version of the game, I haven't played in over 5 years.

Also if someone answers me can you PM me to let me know, I may never return.

Set up my Universe. Disbanded NXT.

RAW
Main Event: Universal Championship
Lesnar (c), Cass, Braun, Bray, Ambrose, Reigns, Rusev, Rollins, Orton

Midcard: Cruiserweight Championship
Neville (c), Tozawa, Kendrick, Cedric, Enzo, Metalik, Gallagher, Kalisto, Dar, Swann, TJP, Itami, Gargano, Strong, Ciampa

Special Attraction: Women’s Championship
Banks (c), Bliss, Fox, Asuka, Bayley, Lynch, Carmella, Charlotte, Dana, Mickie, Naomi, Natalya, Jax, Tamina, Billie Kay, Ember Moon, Nikki Cross, Peyton Royce

SMACKDOWN
Main Event: WWE Championship
Mahal (c), Cena, Nakamura, Corbin, Roode, Owens, Kane, Miz, Samoa Joe, Styles, Balor

Midcard: Intercontinental Championship
Miz (c), Adam Cole (dl), English, Gable, Ziggler, Jordan, Mojo, Truth, Zayn, Sun Cara, Dillinger, Goldust, Eric Young, Kassius Ohno, Killian Dain, No Way Jose

Special Attraction: Tag Team Titles
The Usos (c), New Day, Titus & Crews, The Bar, The Revival, Colons, Breezango, Slater & Rhyno, Gallows & Anderson, Ascension, Bo & Axel, Bludgeon Bros (Harper & Rowan), Authors of Pain, Sanity, TM-61, Gatecrashers (Ryder & Hawkins), Street Profits (dl)

First Raw was a bit wonky with 3 heavyweight vs Cruiserweight matches (1 resulting in a budding rivalry between Lesnar and Itami), and an 8 man match with 7 cruisers and Orton.

First SDL was a pretty good, and actually made sense.
Samoa Joe (w) vs. Big E, Breezango vs. Street Profits (w), Miz (w) vs Roode, Styles interrupted a Cena promo, The Bar (w) vs. New Day (Kofi & Woods), Corbin (w) vs. Cole, Mahal vs. Ziggler vs. Nakamura (w)


Any tips for Universe?

Yes,

Re-start NXT.

Why?

Because I like NXT :(

Honestly though, there are no real tips. Most of the dumb bugs have been patched out. If you want separation between cruisers and heavyweights, you have to make 205 Live though. While I'm all for Tozawa pushing Brocks shit in for my universe, if you call that "wonky" then it's going to always happen. It doesn't treat them as second class superstars.

My second Mania I simmed to was headlined by Orton challenging for the WWE belt held by Kendrick.

I’ve set it so that the cruisers are focused on the cruiser belt only but it doesn’t seem to stop random rivalries kicking in. I can’t see Itami getting a title match on the PPV but it’s playing out to be a fun little feud as Itami is heel and Brock face. Cedric Alexander just took Brock to the limit in a tv match; fucker kept reversing the F5.

Is the cruiser just a mid-card belt on Raw? Because yeah, unfortunately that doesn't work.

Yeah. It’s not working too badly at the minute; get the odd mismatch but it should make for a good squash. Just played as Braun vs Swann, I was trying to injure him, hit him with a few finishers, lost by Countout.

Looks like we found out who can't handle this....

Patch 1.05 notes.

Also, the NXT Generation Pack is now available for download. It includes Drew McIntyre, Ruby Riot, Elias, Aleister Black, and Lars Sullivan.

At least they smartened up enough to release the current roster dlc first this year.

Going to get a switch in a couple weeks, so I might get this down the line. Unless FPW makes it to the switch.

:lol::lol:

Ah that sucks! Last couple of years you’ve been able to import Community Downloads into MyPlayer/Career. I used AJ and Roode as I’m not a fan of creating from scratch.

Putting me off career mode entirely.

You don't even get the full creation suite to make a dude. You gotta unbox that shit from loot crates!

Boy do I hope FPW makes it to the switch.

Oh yeah, it looks like the Switch version is coming out on Black Friday. 2k haven't announced this or anything, it looks like they just want to sneak it out, but Best Buys computers have been updated and people in Europe are getting their hands on the game now.

If they're trying to sneak it out that much, I think they know it's a pile of shit. The only option you have without downloading 24GB to your MicroSD is Play with a limited roster too.

Well fuck that then. I'll just buy a few digital games instead.

Portable Stardew Valley bitchessssss

Stardew Valley, Shovel Knight, Golf Story and Steamworld Dig 2 are just close to perfection on a portable system.

The Great Balls of Fire arena, logo, video, layout, etc. got snuck into the game with the latest patch.

The revised logo or the original logo that resembled a wiener?

And then got promptly dropped from the real life PPV schedule.

Universe still need an overhaul.

A 17 week rivalry between Miz and Ohno over the IC title consisted of 16 normal singles matches, 11-5 in favour of Miz. I know WWE will repeat matches over and over but that seems a little overkill.

At least it ended in Ohno with the belt so I can bump Miz up to WWE Championship contention.

Qualified for Clash of Champions and hit "Rookie" tier in RtG finally.

Yeah noticed a lot in videos of this game on how terrible long hair looks.

Just hitting everyone with the Black Mass as Aleister Black.

I am stuck at the MITB match in MyCareer , i can't ever win the damn match. i have a 67 overall right now. it's that i'm not good with an analog stick .

Switch version currently set to arrive on December 6th. 2K Games waited till almost the last moment to make an official announcement.

Need a minimum of 1GB of free space on the hard drive along with 32GB of free space on an SD card mainly because of the Day 1 patch. 2K Games also went cheap again with the cart size for the Switch.

Wow, this version is going to be dog shit isn't it?

The footage that came out prior to the patch had this weird overly simplified lighting that made them look like action figures, no shadows at all, commentary that sounds like a Real Audio file with all the compression and was still only running at 30fps. Thst was handheld, so might be better docked, but I doubt it's a huge upgrade.

Thought I read back when it came out the switch actually looks better on handheld

That's not the case. When it's docked, it actually turns the CPU and GPU clocks up so there's more power. I think the biggest gap if you wanted tontest it is Mario Odyssey which uses this weird half resolution refresh that makes everything look blurry in motion, but looks fantastic on the TV.

Shame to tarnish such a gem with a poor port

Sometimes with this game, the shitty AI and physics just make it unexpectedly enjoyable. Like this impromptu tag team <strike>finisher</strike> murder.

lolllllllllllllll how the fuck can this even be released?

looks the same. What am I missing

They're practically moving underwater.

ah, the speed? Yeah felt slow. Other versions felt that way to me too though...

This does feel "slower" not that I looked side by side tho :y:

Not sure if he means the slowdown, or that was a bug preventing female wrestlers from getting back in the ring.

Might it have something to do with nobody playing it? Demo mode going slower because so much AI?

No, it's just any match with 4 or above peoole. 2 man matches run at 30fps, bigger matches run... Less than that. And instead of skipping frames to keep the speed, it just runs slow.

God, releasing it under the radar so the media wont pick up on it and prevent people from buying this broken piece of shit is so fucking sleazy.

Guess Yukes got some inspiration from WWF No Mercy for the brand new Slowmo mode.

stuck on the Money in the bank match in myplayer.

You have to do an OMG move off the ladder, even though it says "do a move off the ladder". If you didn't buy it, you can still do it this once.

Maybe they'll do loot boxes for increased framerate next year.

For all the (deserved) shit I give this game, Universe after some patches isn't horrible. Was working through it to get the trophy and after a couple of years of simming for the other trophies, things are interesting. Gallows and Anderson keep getting roll-up wins over the outsiders, specifically on Scott Hall and there's tension there between him and Nash. A Steel Cage match for Payback was booked between Neville and Cedric Alexander and on the last 205 live, Neville called for the cage to be lowered as he beat on Cedric.

Balor just wants to beat Strowman, just once. But even busting out the Demon at Payback he couldn't do it. The main event of Payback was Cesaro Vs. Sheamus, tag team champions and Sheamus is the Universal champion. Thought it wouldn't reference it, but commentary did note they were partners and after I put Shemus through 2 tables, it's now a rivalry starting from next week on Raw and they have a tag match on Raw.

Playing the matches is still bad but the actual structure is improved for once.

Still looking for that Team Up trophy if anyone wants to add Hasney on PSN

At the moment my son is playing a Rumble, McIntyre entered at number 12 but due to a glitch it didn't recognise his run in and said he was eliminated .
We are now at man 28, Lars Sullivan has dominated , Daniel Bryan has made his return and Drew McIntyre is standing in the ring like a ghost , no one can touch him.

Final three graphic just happened, but Drew is the fourth man , come on Drew

Screwjob they just called Lars as the winner but Drew was in the ring.

Rumbles are so bad. I’ve never played a game with so much lag when you’re not playing online.

Yeah, the 8 men in the ring was a mistake for PS4 and XB1. They work fine on PS4 Pro though.

Playing MyCareer mode , getting fed up of asking the car attendant if I can leave and 30 minute load up times.

Haven’t even touched MyCareer yet. Not a fan of having to create someone from scratch.

How’s one-on-one online? Fancy a match sometime?

I tried one earlier and the lag was pretty bad. I think the internet at the new place isn't the greatest .

But ye we shall have to give it a go.

JUST had a three week promo battle with Darren Young...wow and just called Stephanie 'Paul'

I'm still looking to grab that trophy too. If you'd like, I can PM you my PSN/PS+ name.

Sure, go for it.

Probably won't be on until Wednesday evening UK time, but hit me up.

Disregard, dude. I messaged you a screenshot of when I earned the trophy although the story behind my doing so goes as follows:

I see there's this guy who is playing 2K18 on my friends list so I thought cool, I'll hit him up and see if he wants to go for the trophy. He says sure so I hop on the game and try to invite him but he keeps getting Network Error, because LOL 2K servers, amirite? So anyway, he invites me, we choose our guys and are in Practice mode when he gets cut off.

We try once more. He's Seth Rollins, I'm 2001 Rock. We go to practice mode, targets (opponents) acquired, all the character data loads and we're off to find out who we'll be facing -- OF COURSE! 2 CAWs both rated 100, what are the odds? :roll:

We get to the match and probably 30 seconds to at most a minute goes by before he gets disconnected. :( The AI takes over and starts just kicking ass. Eventually their legal guy is outside the ring getting worked over by Seth with the other guy just sorta standing there with a sledgehammer doing nothing, so I pitch in and help Seth double-team this poor schlub until the ref is at 9, when Seth runs into the ring to get us the win. It was so surreal. I messaged my supposed-to-have-been partner informing him what had happened and that I was sorry for him getting disconnected. I felt so freaking dirty when that trophy popped.

These RtG PPV "main events" are more than an adequate challenge, so why make players go after these asinine carrot-on-a-stick rewards every time? The masks and such that they give for winning a main event just look so hokey and feel so damn cheap.

Why not give players a choice between like a loot box (guaranteed silver or gold, determined at random when chosen), a move-set the player doesn't have yet, or an attribute point? Maybe RR main event wins could result in a new pair of kicks or shades, a hairstyle, elbow or wrist pads, a t-shirt or new tights? Anything but more stuff to put on one's head.

Because they wanted people to buy the loot boxes with real money, but clearly couldn't tie VC to an online service quickly enough.

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/gAnROnNvKFY" frameborder="0" gesture="media" allow="encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>

A lot of the UK guys moves in there

Tyler Bate's bemused response to it on twitter made me smile.

Is it just me or is the microphone option in the pc version fucked up? A lot of times in matches i can see the mic gauge moving like the other persons talking but at most the volume on it is non existent, in 2k17 this was never an issue and mics could be heard easily. Its like they messed with the audio settings and the mic setting got overlooked.

Maybe you should quit being a bitch and stop playing video games.

And maybe you should tongue my taint, fuckboy :heart:

250 * just to qualify for RR. :roll:

Just pay 10,000 VC. Much easier.

Why did my 100th win for the Ringmaster 🏆 have to be someone forfeiting/leaving?

cause you deserve a break today

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/wfzcucIyk_w" frameborder="0" gesture="media" allow="encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Gonna have to get around to importing my custom tron into 2k18 at some point.

Fought the tedium of the TLC match yesterday and grinded my way to Superstar tier. "Only" like 90 some to the top tier.

I saw a bit of this game on YouTube, and it has the worst announcing I've ever seen

New DLC pack of the Hardyz, Rock N Roll Express and The Glamazon Beth Phoenix will be out on the 16th.

Minimally tweaked, recycled and repetitive hot garbage. Just when I thought I couldn't hate Cole or Saxton behind the desk any more, this fucking game...UGH.

Is this worth buying for X-Box One for like 40 bucks?

First year done in Universal.

I started to skip past Raw a lot so we got to Mania with only a Cruiserweight non-title feud. No Universal championship feud/match, same for the Women. I forced a Cena/Taker feud (and played the match which was really fun!), and we had Owens (Rumble winner) vs WWE Champion Samoa Joe.

I’ve started to re-set Universe. Now have the Women’s division with its own show WWE Revolution complete with a WWE Women’s Championship and Tag Team belts.

Tag division currently set up with Bellas, Iconic Duo, Bliss & Jax, Bayley & Becky, Charlotte & Natty, Emma & Dana, Paige & Nikki Cross.

Also moved the cruisers to 205Live. Had to download Mysterio, Rey Fenix, Gulak, Tyler Bate, Pentagon (not sure if he’s below 205lbs), and found a great Ricochet but need to unlock HBK 98. If I can find some more decent creations I could do a 205 Tag Division.

Now I can either set up a show just for Tags, or set up Raw and SmackDown to have World, Midcard, and Tag divisions.

See if that leads to better rivalries and PPV cards.

Turns out that won’t work as I thought as you can only have 2 Major shows host a PPV.

I went with Raw and Revolution for Payback which gave me:

The Bellas defeating The Iconic Duo to defend the Women’s Tag Titles
Cena beat Corbin in a LMS match
Rollins beat Roode
The Rock won a Fatal 4-Way vs Orton, Mahal, Reigns
Charlotte won the Women’s Championship from Sasha Banks
Nakamura won a Triple Threat vs Owens (c), and The Miz to become the NEW WWE Champion.

Not bad.

Jester hat for beating Kick-Off 3x threat v. KO v. Zayn, didn't notice anything (maybe I missed it) but loot box(es) for the first match, a fatal-4-way, and some headband or something for winning the 3x threat second match v. Kane v. Braun.

So excited for the next couple of "rewards". :roll:

Why continue then?

I am a glutton for punishment whom once I start something I must see it through to the end, no matter how bitter.

Except for employment

That's one form of punishment that I cannot endure. It ought to be outlawed.

Y'all need to come together and end this blood feud or else you'll get your posts flipped over, HIT MY MUSIC

i gave up on myplayer mode, i can never win the money in the bank. i'll stick to exhibition and universe mode.

You talking about the story mode? If so, you might be overthinking it.

For the mandatory objective, just climb to the top and wait for someone else to climb the other side. Punch them until dazed, then hit triangle/Y for the OMG Moment - you don't even need a finisher stored - then grab the briefcase, et voilà! :)
