As well she should be. She and Omos are long lost members of the Anoa'i family.

I'm seeing all the positive press for the game and I wish it success, but I dunno, I can't help but to feel relieved that I went with my gut and pre-ordered that other 2K game due out this month, Tiny Tina'sWonderlands.

Amusing reading stories of people who popped the game in for the first time, didn’t bother with the tutorial, and instead set up a squash to get used to the controls like Brock vs Ariya Daivari and end up getting their ass kicked.

Well, I wanted to wait it out but enough friends have bought it and enjoyed it where I just decided what the fuck.
Gotta say, I dont regret my purchase. It definitely feels more fun to play, though there are still improvements that could be made. The rey showcase is kind of neat. Its almost like interactive documentary. Throughout the match it transitions seanlessly between gameplay and real footage while rey narrates. Havent tried the other modes yet. |

Big mistake. The tutorial is great. Drew Gulak narrates it. He chastises you for doing high flying moves and even breaks out a graph chart at one point.

Glad I went for the season pass version with all that DLC.

Hahaha, that is kickass. 205 Live was honestly a really fun watch the first year, year and a half or so it was on. Drew Gulak's PowerPoint presentation gimmick definitely popped me.

Started a MyGM game. Not sure about it yet. Seems the aim of the game is to book the same match repeatedly until it hits a Level 4 rivalry. So pretty accurate to real life. A lot of my favourites are “Specialist” wrestlers who don’t seem to achieve a decent match rating with anyone you pair them with as they sit outside of the brawler vs. fighter/cruiser vs. giant paradigm.
MyFaction is different to what I expected. Could be quite interesting in terms of having matches with guys I wouldn’t necessarily play as/against. Showcase I’m not really taken with. For me there’s too much “cinematics” and real life footage. Don’t feel like I’m getting to play enough of the match myself. |

I turned heel somehow in MyRise and I'm in a feud with Elias. We're both getting booed. This tracks.

Yeah there are some real good CAWs out there already. Downloaded a great Malakai Black and Sting.

Complete a full season of MyGM. I really got into it in the end, but it is limited. I get the paradigm they've created with the different classes but it can be a bit stifling. Being able to run Specialist vs. Specialist matches that garner a decent match rating would be a start, otherwise what's the point of having the role? Being limited in not really being able to book Cruiser vs. Cruiser felt limiting too, I'm sure Mysterio vs. Santos Escobar could have been a decent bout, or Ricochet vs. Mysterio for that matter.
Nearly dropped a bollock booking to Mania; all other PPVs have a 4 match card so I built up 4 feuds to be paid off only to discover Mania is a 5 match card. Luckily managed to throw Mysterio vs. WALTER in a TLC Match on the card and got a decent rating from it. I might come back around to it in time, I'm yet to start Universe or MyRise yet (always been put off by having to build a CAW from scratch) so will probably give them a play through before going back to MyGM. |

MyRise is fun so far. Lots of paths to take via different people offering challenges.
Also I love that you can go through Universe mode as just one person. Started a run through NXT with WALTER on stream yesterday. |

Two things I'm wondering: I don't know how to earn more tokens (or whatever they are) to unlock/purchase rasslers and arenas. Maybe it's a grind on purpose.
And I definitely downloaded a bunch of arenas that don't show up anywhere for me to play in. V confused. |

Are you sure they’re “arenas” and not “shows”?

And yeah, I seem to have earned enough to unlock about 6 superstars but earning more seems a little harder now, albeit I’ve not done anything with universe or MyRise and barely anything with MyRise.

You don't have to watch any other matches. It simulates the show before and after your thing. There's also a "curation menu" that pops up where you can do things like challenge for a title, disband your team, and have a certain kind of match.
Funny thing about that is that it doesn't replace your scheduled match. So I won the NXT title in the opener, then had another singles match on the show. |

Just thought about this: I wonder if I'll have to do that my faction thing to earn more tokens. Ugh. No interest in that.

Despite this still not being what I want in a wrestling game, this is easily the best combat system they ever made.

Hit a couple of bugs so far;
1) seems to happen fairly often when you choose to play a match in MyGM the game freezes and restarts 2) weird bug in Create A Championship where if you use the default material the belt/part appears completely black |

Seems to be a theme going through. Certain characters on my faction that don’t appear on other modes and same with myrise ( DD , Gargano with an older entrance etc). |

I downloaded them in community creations but when I go to select an arena, nothing shows under the custom tab.

As far as I can tell, unlocking wrestlers is definitely a grind. A few editions ago when I last played, you could at least do stuff like Rumbles and earn some serious points each time since they’d always end up getting 5 star ratings.
Now it sounds like you barely earn fuck all with matches, like they’re basically just compelling you to spend 5 bucks to unlock everything. |

Yeah it seems like you have to hit each one of your moves in every [singles] match to get 5 stars and even that doesn't get a lot of tokens.
I could also be doing something wrong, I don't know. It was definitely easier to earn these points in 2k18. |

I also haven't done anything in showcase, MyGM, or faction yet though.

Yes and it's absolutely horrendous. Let's just make it as hard to see anything as possible.
AND they also used red lighting one year, because why the fuck not? |
