mattdangerously Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 Is there some sort of bug with the signature/finisher system, or maybe some gameplay element I'm missing that makes using those moves more difficult? Lots of times I've been standing directly in front of someone, with a finisher or signature loaded, and there's no prompt letting me know I can hit it. I've lost way too many matches from not being able to finish someone off when I need to.
Ramsey Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 Hmmm, I've not had this one happen unless my sig/finisher was situational (top rope/springboard/etc.)
Michael Sweetser Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 IT's stupid but make sure you have enough stamina; you have to have about half a bar.
mattdangerously Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 Oh, that could definitely be it. Thanks!
Brandon Bones Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 How well do any of you think the game performs as a simulator? 13 and 14 were maddening when the COM vs COM would start a match with a finisher or a top rope superplex to the floor.
Firebreaker Chip Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 thought this was a pretty good sim, couple of visual glitches aside this was some bad AI at the end of a decent match, but I quite like that X-Pac fucks up by smiling vacantly into space before briefly looking worried as his error occurs to him Elsewhere, the "crow" tag has a really good Gable and Jordan on PS4 now
RandomAct Posted November 14, 2015 Posted November 14, 2015 I actually had one of the better sim matches I've ever done on a video game with 2K16 between Zayn and Itami. Wish I would quit forgetting I can record this shit easily with a PS4.
A Guy Named Tracy Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 Confirm something for me. Do the wrestlers featured in the Hall of Fame Showcase become playable when you purchase the DLC? $9.99 is a really good price if you can unlock and use Tatsumi Fujinami, Scott Hall, Zbysko, Arn, Bushwhackers, Natural Disasters, Alundra Blayze, and Stevie Ray in other game modes.
Jiji Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 This game is a lot of fun. The more people you play with I find the fun ramps up exponentially. Even just doing tornado tags was great with one bud (though I feel like they desperately need extreme rulezzz tornado tags WITH eliminations). For the first time in my life, by using Spotify on the PS4, I was able to have a New Jack match that actually had Natural Born Killaz playing throughout. FUCKING TREMENDOUS. This game is a huge A+ for that alone. The La Parka CAW is pretty solid too. I didn't know they had the Thriller dance in as a taunt. Big markout moment. Also, how long have downloaded CAWs been able to have multiple attires? I didn't know this game had multiple attires but both the Parka and Sid CAWs had several appearances to pick from. Blue tights Sid Justice ftw. And Sid's entrance has him angrily fist bumping in the crowd's general direction! One thing I'd love to see: props for entrances. New Jack without a shopping cart or garbage can full of PLUNDAH just ain't right. WCW La Parka without the chair just ain't right. HOW CAN HE BE THE CHAIRMAN OF WCW WITHOUT A CHAIR?! 1
brandonr4s Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 Getting really used to the submission system. My earlier posts are wrong, I just needed time to get it down. Need tuning but I would keep it in for later releases. This is definitely a game you like the more you play it. I love No Mercy and Wrestlemania 2000, but you show me another wrestling game that has restholds, side headlocks into the ropes, cheap shots in a corner tie-up, closeup reactions to nearfalls and reversals mid-move. Hit detection, aiming and commentary (play it on mute) need work, but I keep having good match after good match...with the cpu. 2
Playa Shunna Ver 3.0 Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 My create a wrestler use the Octopus hold as a finisher. I'm getting guys to tap to it all day.
Playa Shunna Ver 3.0 Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 When does the DLC come out for this?
Ramsey Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 I saw somewhere we might get the moves pack in mid December and maybe another patch around the same time. 1
Jiji Posted November 21, 2015 Posted November 21, 2015 Can you have multiple save files on the PS4? As in swapping files with a USB. Those sweet Ricochet CAWS will get a bit sweeter because the 630 is one of the dlc moves.
Tromatagon Posted November 21, 2015 Posted November 21, 2015 None of that would require multiple save files
SirSmUgly Posted November 21, 2015 Posted November 21, 2015 I've spent more time with this game. It is definitely moving in the right direction. The pacing is much better. The stuff like breaks on the ropes or crawling over for the pin after a big move/when drained of stamina are great additions. My only issue is that the flow of the game really feels stunted by mapping it essentially to reversals. There are some reversal animations (usually when striking a downed or seated opponent) that leave the striker available to re-start the offense again without being staggered. Trigger one, and you force your opponent to use a reversal, but go back on defense after you get another first hit in and get stuck in a reversal loop. Don't trigger it, and at least you got a few more stomps in. I know people are sick of the love for No Mercy, WM 2000, etc., but the Spirit/Attitude bars felt much more natural and like there was an organic flow to the matches where a couple of key reversals could have you going from beaten down to coming back on offense seamlessly instead of this sort of "my reversal/your reversal" deal. Also, pins were successful in those games on a combination of body damage/current Attitude level. I think that Attitude works better than a lifebar that depletes and doesn't come back. If Yuke's could implement something like that instead of the lifebar, I really think they'd have a classic modern wrestling game on their hands. I hope they don't stop tweaking this, though, because even if (for me), it's a game that's sometimes fun and sometimes mechanically focused on reversals, when the game feels good and like a natural match, it's absolutely fantastic. 3
Jiji Posted November 21, 2015 Posted November 21, 2015 None of that would require multiple save filesA cursory Google search showed uploading a save file to ps plus' cloud doesn't work.I'd like to have save files for different eras, like with Fire Pro.

The limited reversal was a great addition, but the AI still tries to reverse whenever it can, so it does still somewhat feel like a back and forth reversal fest...that just stops when you both run out. Tweaking is essential, but this is the most realistic wrestling game I think I've ever played. They're on the right path. I expect 2K17 and 18 to be spectacular, assuming they continue the same trajectory of growth. 1
