J-man89

Buckshot Lariat got talked about! Bryan didn't say anything but the look on his face has me thinking its in the game, cause again its one of the very few finishers from a top name in AEW thats not in the game, and Bryan had to have made it one of his top priorities when getting certain moves to include that.

Universe Mode has needed improvements for years now, we need promos back, which i heard is one of the options you can choose for a wrestler to do before or after a match i think along with the other options of choosing to do a handshake or a cheap shot or an attack after the match etc. Finally we got control over what the wrestlers do in Universe and don't gotta rely on a random cutscene the game chooses for us which half the time is the same one or one of the same 3 or 4 over and over again. And i can't tell you how many times i'll be a heel and i'll get a babyface cutscene where he shakes hands and shows respect after the match, doesn't even matter heel or face the cutscene would just be random, so hopefully now thats over and being able to pick what you do will make that a thing of the past.

So far the only thing about My Rise they've put out there is now being able to import caws from CC into it, so you no longer have to use a caw created from scratch. Which was always what turned me off from it, cause i'm not a good caw maker and i could never get my guy to look even halfway good. So now i can just go and get someone like Hangman Page or Kenny Omega from someone like Iconic or Defract off CC and they'll look like an ingame model, and i can take them through the WWE system and work my way up.

Yeah i know, i meant doing the move from a reversal into it and making it come out of nowhere and look natural, theres no way to do that with from behind finishers hardly. Sure the wake up taunt where they rise up like a zombie staggering lets you hit it from behind without punching them around, but i tend to like to end matches with a cool reversal into my finish if possible, the wakeup taunts feels anticlimactic at times.

Just wanna say i LOVE the new Cross Rhodes, looks beautiful and love that its a front grapple, trying to hit it from behind with a smooth transition was always awkward and you had find ways to hit it in a nice out of nowhere way without manually turning the opponent around with that punch. Now i can see you being able to hit it clean as hell after a reversal and it'll look great.

Beyond happy Roman has a new spear and with a pin combo! Hope theres a running version of it.

I know he wore it in AEW, but why would they make his gear in the game a set of gear he's never wore in WWE? Just use the gear he's wore since WM, he's wore almost the same gear his entire run so far but with different colors.

Can anyone recall when Cody ever wore that attire in WWE? i swear i can't find a single instance where he wore it. Probably wore it once at some house show, and of course thats the gear they choose to put in the game over his normal attire that he wears 99% of the rest of his matches, classic 2K.

Omg did they seriously not fix Edge's "R" logo on his tights and kneepads again?! still no square around it? We still don't have the full design and will have to take up a caw slot to fix that shit..... I don't get it did they not scan his gear? i mean did they seriously just copy and past his unfinished 2K22 tights over and recolor them?

Well thats got me excited, can't wait for that gameplay tomorrow of it.

I don't get why they refuse to add Roman's touches of grey in his beard, thats part of his look, are we not trying to capture exactly how these wrestlers look or what? he doesn't have a solid pitch black beard. And for the love of god can Bayley actually have an accurate body this time around? in 2K22 she was as slim as Alexa Bliss, shes thick and her model needs to be thick, not a slender beanpole. Its annoying when they try and improve everyone's appearance in the game and make them the idea look instead of how they actually look. Its like when they gave Umaga abs that time, just not being true to what these wrestlers actually look like to make them look perfect without any flaws.

Oh damn gonna get actual gameplay finally tomorrow? Sweet!

I can't tell in the trailer if Roman has a new spear or not or if its just one of the old ones slowed down, but he desperately needs a new one and has for a long time. His corner spear is so slow and awkward with no pin combo, and the other is that running spear he hit on AJ once years ago.

Stoked we're getting a new Gory Bomb with Alba, finally.

Well with advanced entrances back and with alternate attires heel Cora aint hard to make.

Alba Fyre looks freaking incredible, and a huge step up from her 2k22 model.

It may be an unfinished model there lol, but from the screenshot i took you can see they fixed it at least.

No i think it was just the angle that made it look dark cause here his hair is normal

Do we still not have Seth with the sides of his head shaved with the fade? I feel like Seth's hair has been like that for 2 years at this point. Like in this

Lol thought i was the only one that did that for the Buckshot. But yeah its easily the most needed finisher in the game imo, everyone else in AEW and WWE i feel like has their finisher in the game, Page is one of the few thats not in.

PRAYING thats in Logan's moveset, so i can finally have a complete Hangman Page caw, never feels right playing as him and not having that as his finisher and having to use the Clothesline From Hell.

Thats what i figured this screenshot was from cause you can tell its the stance he has when coming up from the Codyvator.

Agreed about Cody's attire i believe this is it Its definitely the one attire of his he's wore the least, so of course they pick that attire.....cause why give us the attire with the eagle heads on the sides where we could make almost all his attires of different color variations of it he's wore in WWE. Come to think of it i can't even remember when he wore that red gear in WWE, that image is from AEW. At least i can make this alternate color of it which i do really like

I'm hoping Cody will have his elevator entrance in certain arenas, kinda like how The Shield from the crowd entrance can only be triggered in certain arenas. Maybe he only comes up when the stage isn't elevated.

I'm gonna get the Icon Edition so gotta save up for a while to get it if i'm gonna drop $127 on it, so probably wont pre order till a few days before it comes out like around the 11th of march.
