I booked a Seth Vs HBK feud… it’s pit them in ten consecutive one v one matches…

Dear 2k, Putting two people in a rivalry doesn’t mean they have to face each other in the exact same match every single week in universe. For crying out loud.

Not sure all the universe rivalry stuff is working tbh, just did my first loser leaves town match, played through, won, standard cut scene at the end, no mention of the stipulation. Put me back to the match card…. And the match was playable again, like it had never happened

There’s no surprise at this point with the patches, the game is probably at its best state when first released. We knew from the last few years, that it releases, then 2k slowly break it more and more from there with every patch they release.

Lyons kick combo?

I’ve got the thing with movesets and it’s such a pain in the ass. I edited Romans moveset so he has two variations of the spear as his finishers. It shows that I’ve edited it on his superstar page. If I play matches on PPV it has his up to date moves, when I play on raw it resets itself to default Aldo they need to sort out some of the collision detection in areas around the ropes, had an opponent climb the corner, I got up and grabbed to throw them off, tried it twice both times my arms went through them, they climbed down on to the apron, tried an apron move, arms went through them, they climbed in, I went to grapple as soon as they were in… arms went through them… they then pull off a move

Yeah I had this yesterday, only works for the four rivalries you have set, despite having it referenced on the other match screens.

Is it not possible to do double title matches in universe still?

Yeah I can totally see 2k killing it. In the meantime though, it really helps with minor tweaks but massive updates - I’ve now got Theory with his fuller beard and Priest with his - just adds to the feel of newness.

Status and JoeMashups have both got in game models where they’ve added facial hair etc and they look absolutely brilliant - really is a game changer that find.

Oh wow, just got a patch popped up for download

Have to say, some of the showcase objectives are infuriating, im doing the taker/Cena match… it wants me to do a combo breaker… and Cena isn’t throwing any combos - he’s doing heavy strikes on turnbuckles and Irish whips So I can’t break his combo. Meaning I’m just sort of picking him up and letting him hit me in the hope that he goes for a combo, and he isn’t so now we’re just sort of in purgatory unable to move on

What on Earth are some of these movesets about!

Just the names you mentioned in that list alone would have me pre-ordering tbh. That’s before you even get to the other possibilities.

Some stages removed, new stage props, unfortunately doesn’t look like there’s any changes outside of that - so no new rope, turnbuckle options, no different venue layouts etc.

Smacktalks explains it all pretty well, also glad to see Santos Escobar has been improved from the nappy they had him in last year, looks much better now.

Bruno is DLC isn’t he? So wouldn’t have anything listed until he is downloadable? Could be wrong.

The skin and face texture in CAW looks much better, they’ve added some MyFaction stuff too, the DX gear and I noticed Farooqs nation hat. Looks like they’ve added some arm tattoos too. Shame we’ve lost a lot of masks - no Kalisto, Metalik etc

Good to see height and weight class are now seperate.

Like the look of that new rock bottom with pink and the running pounce.

Yes! They’ve left the models of taker ‘98 and Eddie ‘97 in so we may still have some alts, there’s two versions of Shawn too.

Any mention of retro models anywhere? Like is Eddie Guerrerro 97 etc in, or have they binned them for this one?

I think those OVW models are just skins, not sure they will add anything in terms of moves - maybe, maybe, a new SSP for Brock but I’m doubtful. I think they will just use the moves already in the game. OVW didn’t have a Titantron or anything so I imagine the entrance videos will be generic, as will the music. The leviathan model is good, it’s a noticeable update for him, especially the head. Ortona too might be handy for a few different eras.. can’t help but feel the Brock model is just the same as his one from showcase but in the red trunks though? Either way, cool to have the option if you’re a fan of those guys.

I reckon if either had changed they would have mentioned it as they know people have asked for years.

Yeah that’s what I’m saying, I think if people’s expectations is more of this being a yearly update then if they liked 22 they will like this. If they want a major overhaul I think this won’t feel like much.
