KidKash202 has a shitton of stuff that will make the game better. He's got the sliders plus changing the stats for everybody in the game and CAWs. I wasn't gonna mess with it but after trying it for a few guys noticed the matches have been a lot better. I personally have it on Normal to kind of unwind and not have to put too much in it. But when I do bump it to Hard it is some really good action. Change the sliders and stats for Bret Hart and Daniel Bryan. Have them face each other in an ironman match and you'll get a great matchup. Not trying to blow smoke up his ass, but his stuff made the game more enjoyable for me. Check his posts in this thread.

Seeing the main segment last night I liked it a lot. Watching it again I absolutely love it so much. Daniel wanting Bray, willing to go through Harper and Rowan, showed the fire in him. Then they build it up with all the times the Wyatts beat him up, even if he won. Then you had that long match with him against Harper which was a great showcase for Luke. Leading up to the win Bryan got the hell beat out of him where he was barely standing. Then Rowan beat him up some more, and even after winning Bryan still got beat up bad. When the big beatdown happened they pretty much sapped any fire that was left in Daniel. As far as delivery, I felt Daniel was great in talking like a guy who has been soundly defeated. No matter how many times he wins they destroy him. He had to give up. The walk up the ramp even fit as it was a walk of a broken-down man. When he turned to the crowd he thought about snapping out of it, but reality kicked in and the fire went out. I just absolutely love this so much and look forward to where they go. The Wyatts had to have this change, they've done this for a couple months and it had nowhere else to go. Daniel is crazy popular and is the perfect sympathetic face to join. If he comes across like a defeated man and not ruthless like them the crowd will still have an emotional investment in him. If the WM plans say Cena and Bray then Cena will step in leading up to their match. In theory it can elevate the Wyatts more because of that. I really hope they don't fuck this up. They've fucked up a lot of things recently, but this one I'm very hopeful of. Also, for what it's worth it's 11:22 EST and there's 7 pages in this thread. That to me sounds like quite the response to this. Whether you're on board or not it got people talking.

I loved the Brock segment so much. Punk/Rollins was sloppy as fuck but turned out good when they came back from break. Big E/Fandango match was pretty great too. Lawler must be proud, the straps going down is over now. It was weird seeing the main segment. I thought for the new year they'd have Bryan be defiant again and that's it. Even when he agreed at first I thought it was a swerve. But past that it became pretty damn captivating. It was weird and might have gone over some people's heads in the crowd, but it was so fucking awesome. When he turned back on the stage I thought for a second he'd just knee Bray and that was it. The parts that mattered went on for just the right length of time to make you wonder for a second either way. I'm curious where they go with it. Hopefully it doesn't drag Bryan down anymore than he's been already, maybe this will elevate the Wyatts somehow.

I'd like to say it is. Wrestlemania mode is pretty great, similar to Attitude mode yet better. Universe mode has improved with rivalry editor. I sense when they go next-gen the game will be all kinds of amazing compared to what it is now. If you're willing to wait it out then go for it. But if you find this at a decent price I'd consider getting it, even if you have WWE 13. Am considering doing the save file. Was wondering if I swap out a CAW for another one I find online, will I be able to apply the settings for them like the initial CAW has? Say I find a different Bray Wyatt. Will I lose some of the stats and such for him?

I always chuckle when Metallica is associated with this version of Carol of the Bells. I read that Hammett might have had a hand in this, but that's not the case. I just know that it's Trans Siberian Orchestra and it's awesome. Not technically a Christmas song, but goddamn if this isn't the most awesome thing I've seen in some time.

That's pretty much online gaming in general. I don't think anything will be done about that which sucks. Hell, with big multiplayer games it's easier to a point to avoid that because there's so many people on there. For 2K14 I can't imagine that being the case. Only way I'll go online is matches with people I know. Other than that fuck it.

I know it's been played to death everywhere, but fuck if I don't love this anyway. David Bowie being how he was and Bing Crosby being how he was getting together still brings a huge smile to my face. Also, can't go wrong with Snoopy. I just have to hear this at some point during the season.

So this easter egg is interesting to try. Am interested in trying this.

As a former pet owner I'm not ashamed to say I got misty-eyed seeing the parts about Gizmo. That was extremely sad to watch. Everything from them hearing the news to Tyson breaking down backstage was just really tough. The new cat is adorable though. The rest of the episode was fine, not a fan of Bellas insulting each other though.

He wrestled previously outside of WWE as Tom Laruffa. He was trained by Lance Storm. If you look on Youtube there's a few matches of his. From what I gather he can be a showboat but is good at doing an indy-style match. Does some flying and does some fast-paced action. Not much of a brawler or anything. I can't imagine he'd be like this in NXT, but that on top of showboat-type attributes Hope that helps. This might help too. Note: It's part of a playlist, so there's plenty more matches from him.

Wanted to mention adjusting the attributes and changing the sliders makes a ton of difference. Kidkash202 has quite the system going. I changed it for the current roster and the matches have been a million times better. Seemed odd at first dropping somebody from a 90+ rating to 64, but it makes a ton of sense at the same time. It's pretty great work overall. Now I just need to adjust accordingly for CAWs I download.

I've learned a lot about Mandela in my life, but feel there's a lot more to know about him for me. It's amazing to think what one man has done in his life. Going from jail to president, the rugby story, ending Apartheid. It's impossible not to be inspired by what he's done. It's just too damn sad there's not too many people like him, who knows how we'd end up if that were the case. And there's something eerie about his daughters finding out while watching the movie about him. Of all the times to find out. Sad too.

I got the DLC today and for some reason Fandango doesn't have Summer Rae with him. Even when selecting her as a manager it's not the entrance like they show. It's just Fandango by himself with her standing by the ring in her wrestling gear. I'm not sure what I need to change for that. Tried team entrance, no option for that either. I feel like I'm missing something here. Also, every now and then the sound cuts out during the match, not sure why. And on top of that during entrances Cole talks about them coming in on a losing streak which I can't understand how. I'm really hoping when they hit PS4/Xbox One they have actual good commentary that makes sense. In Universe if the guy is on a losing/winning streak mention that. Or try and store the audio clips to talk about the person in the ring and not just say "This guy/this girl" which is so annoying. You can have all non-CAWs and they'd still do that.

I thought people would have flipped out over the little girl getting bit. Never once believed the baby was killed, though my friends were. Even after explaining it's a hook for February they didn't believe me and were pissed. The blood doesn't give any indication the baby was killed. But hey, I'll just be proven right come February. I was really sad seeing Hershel go. As soon as the sword was brought out I knew that was it. He's been one of my favorite characters, maybe my favorite. They had to kill somebody that would make people really sad and he was the right guy for that. Was also sad seeing Lauren Cohan almost in tears on Talking Dead. Going by what they all said he seems like a helluva guy so I can see how it's hard for them. It seems corny as all hell to feel such sadness for a fictional character, but it was a rare time where I felt that way. Not even close to how people freaked out on Twitter, but sad nonetheless. Really can't think who's going to step up and be the moral center now, I'm sure that will be established a couple episodes into the second half. As for the Governor, it was a satisfying kill. I'm glad they didn't have Rick do it as that would have been lackluster to me. Michonne driving the blade in after last season was really satisfying. If he was left for dead that would have worked as the zombies were about to get him. Then the girl that loved him saw who he really was and finished the job. I would have like him being eaten by zombies, but her finishing the job is a nice way to ensure he doesn't have any chance of coming back. I can overlook some things about the episode. The meat shield for Daryl is not one of them. That was too damn ridiculous. But overall I thought it was a good episode with memorable scenes to keep interested for February.

Knock on wood, the servers have been very good. I'm going to credit 2K for this, and I'm very happily downloading all kinds of people. My Universe mode is already beefed up with shows, and in much quicker time than years past. That said I haven't played the game for almost a week due to other things going on. But tomorrow's the next DLC. Can't wait to get Fandango and Big E.

I think Punk will be on there, just a matter of time. Austin did get Colt's number from Punk so who knows? I'm looking forward very much to the Daniel Bryan one. He also hinted a couple other current WWE guys being on the show. I'm really curious who's coming in the future. Also, it might be a good idea in the long run he did the tame Tuesday version separate from the vulgar Thursday version. If that means more current WWE people then I'm a 1000% all for it.

I thought for a minute they would do the full 60 minutes. Thankfully that wasn't the case. I'm glad I held off until today to really bother with Community Creations. While I found some good ones to start with when I got the game, it really picked up steam. And there seems to be more variety, especially with indy guys. Searching for caws.ws or PWG brought TONS of quality results. I have plenty of folks now to get a proper ROH roster going so I'm pretty happy with it so far. Not a big complaint really, but I REALLY could go for custom belts being an option in CC. Yeah, I can get the logos for the belt and do it myself, but some of the logos aren't of good quality and it doesn't look good stretched out. It's doable though. Hopefully they add this next year.

This Aiden English segment is something I can be confortable showing to non-wrestling fans. How can you not love him singing to the ring, singing in the match, singing afterwards, AND getting roses and a teary Regal to boot? This guy is a highlight of most episodes he's on for me. I remember thinking before they should do roses, and seeing that brought a huge smile to my face. And Alexander Rusev with more experience is going to be a big star. I can just sense they're going to be pretty high on him going forward.

@Gonzo, no you don't have to add them as friends. You can just go in Community Creations and download whoever you wish. For certain creators you should be able to search for them. @damnnearfonzie, the rivalries part of UNIVERSE mode takes care of that. Can have it go from 4, 8 or 12 weeks and there's plenty of cutscenes in that feud. And I very much agree that Diesel/Taker and Slaughter/Hogan was a pile of nothing. They could have at least done Warrior/Savage instead for WM7 which was the far superior match from that. One aspect that people are sleeping on is the ability to choose a default attire for CAWs. I hated having to constantly manually change that everytime, this is much more convenient.

Whoops, double post. As a wrestling game, yeah I like it. It's the same engine as before, if you thought it was shit then it'll still be shit to you. There's less shit IMO so far, but if you REALLY want to find bugs I'm sure they're there. If you're able to play it somehow try it. Shit, Best Buy has had them on display sometimes. Kind of hard to knock the game when you haven't tried it yet.

I'm quite happy with it so far. The expansion of the creation features (belt, arena, CAW, etc.) makes me happy. I like the rivalry option for Universe. It's only 3 per brand, but with enough creativity I can see this being a really awesome addition. The 30 years of WM section is really cool so far. Aside from little things like the F out of WWF and 2K's logo in the arena playing the early WM matches has been amazing. I normally buy the season pass right away, but am really up for just going through this to get everything. I'm much more excited to play through this than the Attitude mode last year. As for the Beat the Streak option, I decided to get squashed as Santino. To my surprise I had some consistent offense which was pleasantly surprising. That and I noticed DQ and countout was turned off meaning weapons were legal. I may or may not have spammed some weapon shots. Didn't matter as UT did one reversal, Tombstone and that was it for me. For being ridiculously cheap AI I had more fun that expected.

100 CAW slots? Well, that's just wonderful, now I can tinker with more companies and not have to worry. I wonder why they can't give us the option to just upload created items. Having to go through caws.ws is fine, but after the online fiascos in the past they should throw us a bone here. Going through the steps it's not that hard, but I feel we should have this option to begin with.

That is strange, was going to post about tit last night watching out of morbid curiosity as well. I only saw half of the episode, but there were some rough spots. There was a moment or so where the lines between Finn and Corey were blurred and it was hard not to feel bad for them airing it out. It felt weird to feel bad for them grieving over a fake character. I think they shouldn't have done it though, at least not a whole episode. A normal episode then something at the end would have been fine. But doing a story for a whole episode is too much. I haven't seen any of last season and won't again really except for this episode. But man if they go back to normal that will be a little awkward.

I think that might work out for him in the long run. If there are families that loved him but are leery of letting everybody hear it with the profanity then it might work out. If it bombs then maybe he'll go back to the way it was. Honestly it isn't that big a deal. The only thing I wonder is what about those 2-part interviews he does sometimes? Will they both be on Tuesdays now? If so I'm not so sure that's going to work out. Besides, if this gives him a way to admit he not only loved "Hustle and Flow" but sing "It's hard out here for a pimp" then I support this idea 1000%. Last Thursday had some really weird topics I never thought I'd hear him discuss. Haven't been on here in a while but the JR, Lawler and Flair interviews have been outstanding. The Flair one especially put a huge smile on my face. I'm really looking forward to Regal's interview as well. Hell, it was also pretty cool hearing him interview Samoa Joe.
