So is Joe Gacy's entrance mask now glowing for anyone else after the recent DLC? I remember it glowing in the preview for his DLC< but it being fixed when it was released, but its now glowing like it was in his previews for his DLC pack..

Yep happened twice to me both times i managed to actually trigger it, it got reversed/interrupted. I had to hit it like 3 different times before i actually got it to connect without it getting interrupted. This needs to be patched, cause its a legit chore trying to hit Joe Gacy's finisher. I guess i'm gonna just have to use his Full Nelson Bomb/Rings Of Saturn finisher until this gets fixed.

Yeah i've realized that now after doing a 20 minute match trying to hit that damn springboard lariat over and over again, opponent has gotta be ridiculously close to the ropes for it to work which makes the move always look awful and awkward and can never be hit smoothly. And yeah Gacy's finisher looks especially awful because of how much space the move needs for it to be hit clean, its literally meant to hit it with the opponent in the center of the ring, and you gotta hit it with the opponent literally pressed up against your back.

So is anyone actually able to do Joe Gacy's springboard lariat finisher? cause i can't for the life of me do it, any tips?

Ah thanks man.

Why isn't there an AEW Fight Forever section?

Man i want this chain wrestling back in the 2K games If they could combine the simulation elements from Fight Forever and the 2K games graphics and creation suit we'd have a damn near perfect wrestling game.

Yeah from what i can tell it causes extra damage, the selling is pretty good, its an arcade game so they aren't gonna stay down selling for long, but its long enough imo.

Having a great time with AEW Fight Forever, this ending to my Lights Out Match was insane

Man AEW Fight Forever has a better Curb Stomp than WWE games have ever gave Seth I hate the Curb Stomps we got in the 2K games, it just has no impact to it, and Seth jumps way too high. Its literally perfect in AEW Fight Forever, Britt doesn't jump cartoonishly high, just a simple run and quick stomp with impact.

Yeah i totally get what you mean, the matches in 2K23 all feel more or less the same and as you said kind of soulless, there looks to be more life in the AEW gameplay, looks way more fun and fluid. And each character feels unique that you play with like Darby using the skateboard, Orange Cassidy wrestling with his hands in his pockets. So every match will feel a little different depending on who you use. But we'll see how the lack of creation suit features and lack of CC hinders the AEW game, will the core gameplay be enough to keep you playing the game? Cause the creation suit and CC is what motivates me to keep using 2K23 cause its so top notch with such great caws and keeps the game updated and fresh. If we can get a wrestling game with the quality of caws and creation suit as 2K23 mixed with the gameplay and wrestling like AEW Fight Forever we could have the perfect wrestling game.

Man this gameplay looks so fun

Unnecessary steps, i don't get the pump handle set up part of it, seems really unnecessary, i mean why not just lift them up like a normal powerslam and then go into the move? why go through the more complicated time consuming set up like a pump handle?

Its actually better looking than the actual 2 Curb Stomps in the game, looks more impactful, and has a pin combo

Closest thing we'll get to a new Curb Stomp i guess, definitely giving this to Seth

Great sequence into a tired animation i had

Wtf? lol oh i didn't even realize

Wow this section is deader than dead huh?

Just had a really cool reversal spot into a tired move with Carmelo vs Bron

Man i'm in love with the side headlock takeover pin combo move MJF has in Fight Forever at 6:38 Would love to get that move in 2K24

IS rivalry cutscenes messed up for anyone else? everytime ones supposed to happen it just freezes and brings up the exit to menu or skip to next match prompts. Then the commentary keep's going as if the cutscene is playing out., even keeps going when you go the menu.

I would think if The Curb Stomp is safe to mocap, then a knee to the back of the head could be safely done.

Are we ever gonna get a Kinshasa to the back of the head in the game?

Man this is so annoying and i didn't even notice till i saw this tweet about it

Thank god they got that fixed quick, game was unplayable because of that. Having to wait another month for that to get fixed would've been hell.
