WWE 2K16


Recommended Posts

I just got in a couple matches. Played Rollins vs Ambrose (me) and lost to Rollins. Then I played Zack Ryder vs Owens (me) and won. Took me two Pop-up Powerbombs to win, which I thought was bullshit, but whatever. I really liked what I've played so far, though. Looking forward to getting in more time with it later.

I've read a l lot of reports on the AI heels just leaving and taking a count out mid match, or grabbing a chair for the DQ.  

 

It actually depends on their personality if they'll do this or not, which is pretty cool.  Last year the countout thing was a default heel tactic in career mode, but now it's closer to reality, where a guy like Seth would do it, but a guy like Brock wouldnt.  Each character has the personality traits that you might have seen for your guy in career mode- and actually playing them differently in Universe mode by controlling them yourself will shift the alignments around accordingly.

So, tromataker, the reviews that are saying "oh the submission system is broken/nightmarish/sucks" comes down more to the reviewer himself making it to hard? Left/right movements instead of circular and it's not a game killer?

Can't speak for him, but if all you have to do is that then why not make it that way in the first place?  I was thinking it'd be similar to EA MMA, and it sounds like reviewers were expecting that as well.

And looking at it on youtube and elsewhere that what it looks like it SHOULD work like, a sort of circular chase/race between the powers of "I QUIT" and the powers of "ASK HIM REF!"

I haven't tried the side to side thing because I've been at work, but to be clear, even if it works great  - I still fucking hate this submission system, and hated it in EA MMA and the last UFC game- I don't like any broke ass two player snake minigame bullshit in my wrestling games

 

It was WAY more responsive and easy to do in the UFC game, which I think is because the circle (well, octagon in that case) was bigger

Am I doing something wrong or can you not hit diving finishers off the top of a ladder to downed opponents? I've been trying for what must be close to an hour between today and last night to hit Savage's elbow drop on Billy fucking Gunn but there's no prompt. I can however hit the double axehandle from the ladder, which is sweet.

He has it though. Hrrrmmmmmmm. Maybe I didn't have Billy Bitchcakes lined up perfectly.

 

Okay, I hit a red arrow off the ladder no problem, first try. Tried again with Savage, had his opponent aligned correctly and still nuffin'.

Just had a very long tag match come to a point where it couldn't end with a pinfall. The ref got knocked down a few times and then would just stare at wrestlers going for pins. Glitchy glitcherton.

The only real glitches I ran into was some odd yellow pixels on my CAW, which fixed itself when I rebooted, and Tyler Breeze's selfie stick glitching out when I attacked him before a match.

 

Fuck it.  I love this game.  This is the closest it's ever felt to an actual match.

I read yesterday that there is a "day one" patch out. 888 megs worth from what I saw...

 

My copy gets here today.

 

Is it acceptable for a 42 year old man to skip half a day of work to play a video game?

I played some of Austin's storyline, which I really enjoyed. I played the KotR match, the Bret Hart match at Survivor Series and the Bret Hart match at WM 13. I thought you were supposed to play through his career in WCW or ECW though, so is that not correct?

 

The Survivor Series match in particular was so damn fun. I can't believe I kicked out when I was so hurt, not to mention withstanding the Sharpshooter in spite of the really broken submission system.

 

Fuck that submission system. It's awful. Moving the stick left and right feels like it does NOTHING. Moving it in a circle feels as useless. The zone you control really feels like it has a mind of it's own. They need to patch it ASAP.

 

I then messed with WWE Universe mode some more. I think I figured out how you set the roster for brands, which is from the calendar screen, right? In any event, I added some flavor to the NXT brand. Some guys, like Cactus Jack and Mark Henry are a part of the NXT brand and I immediately started a rivalry between Finn Balor and Mark Henry. The first match between them played out so much like the first match between Vader and Sting. Balor got in some offense, but bit off way more than he could chew. Henry really beat the brakes off of him and was immediately catapulted to #1 contender.

Anyone have this on PS3?

Is it worth upgrading from 2k14? I mostly play universe mode and im big on customizing the current roster. Can we still edit gear, entrances, moves and music?

 

 

Yes.

I suggest everyone play the Austin vs Steamboat match as early as they can, because the Bash at the Beach arena IS SO AWESOME

 

 

First match Universe Mode booked was Reigns vs Orton.

 

And I was like FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKKKKKKKKKKKK I can't decide which one of these guys I hate less

Then I went with DVDVR March Madness Semifinalist Roman Reigns.

 

The match ended up being awesome.  Randy won by DDTing me on my already bleeding beautiful Samoan face, but shit was back and forth.  I just like that the computer was able to beat me semi fairly, but about 20% of that was me sucking at the pin system.  A LOT better at it now.

Not sure how I feel about this game. I had to fuck around quite a bit in the options menu to make it playable for me. This new limited reversal gimmick isn't working for me, I'm too competitive to have my ass get beat by the com. Submissions are also pretty ass. To top it off the ref is slowwwww as fuck.

 

Took me fucking Roman Reigns to finally fuck up Kevin Owens (who kept handing me my ass). 

 

The Austin showcase is great though. My last WWE game was '13, because I still wear my Attitude era nostalgia goggles and this is as close as it gets to have another go at it.

I must say that the character selection is also very very impressive. Even a bit too overwhelming.
