  1. Radio silent is a bit of a stretch. Wasnt that long ago they had the whole feedback thing and stuff. And most recently they spoke about the DLC that people just assumed would come out and got angry over when it didnt came out, after they didnt said for a second it would come out. I dont see anything wrong with Celebrating the 1 month anniversary of the game. The lack of clear road map and stuff is annoying, but its not like its the only game out there to play. So i dont get getting angry or so over this kind of stuff.
  2. I feel like the were too concerned with making the game be like No Mercy instead of making it be really its successor. The Pin System, the Counter system...outdated as hell and annoying. I dont know, its been a while since i played the No Mercy season mode, but the last time i played it i was super shocked at how it wasnt how i remembered it. The Branching stories werent as huge as i remembered, it wasnt as long in terms of its own as i remembered. I feel like a lot of what we remember about No Mercy is pure nostalgia. Like of course it was a fantastic game...at the time. But we evolved in terms of gaming so much that the game does feel outdated on many places i feel. But considering how big they talked about the Mode and all, i do have to say that it lacks in the end. Like i just finished it for the first time, and for example the story didnt even mention that i lost to Cody in the final story. It started with me beating up cody, but then after losing the match in week 3 i think, nothing. Just the next part of the story moved on without making a big deal out of it. Or i won the title in the first story...the game never mentions it ever again. It plays no role outside of that one story. I was hoping that the rest of the Mode would be stories about me as champion having different feuds...but nope. I got the same stories that people get who dont win the first story. It is unfortunate because here again they have a good base. I do like the whole modes system, the way its built up. Going eating, sight seeing, press conferences, workout...these are interesting ideas that could have shown how it is to be a wrestler...but again it lacks content. And that frustrates me because it makes it hard to sell the game to people. Like, i so desperately want for people to buy this game so they keep going, because the basics are all there, everything on a basic level is so refreshing and fun. But i cant because the game simply lacks content to keep people interested. And i dont want people to buy it just because its AEW.
  3. Like im not a fan of her, her wrestling style just isnt for me and the match with Britt was really clunky medicore...but thats about it. She or Britt arent untalented or so, they just had a bad day and a match that just didnt work. Taya has been all over the world, that doesnt happen if you are that bad and she looks fine. Like who are these dudes to talk about a Person that way? 80% of the IWC can not reach around to wipe their ass Properly, who are these sweat donkeys to insult any Wrestler ever?
  4. I dont know, at least THQ has a community manager who here and there says something. 2k throws out the promotion Trailers, if we are lucky a few patch notes to patches that adress very little...until they start promoting 2k24. Adding models to the myfaction mode, i wouldnt call that really good additions...but i guess something is better than nothing and modders make these attires and models avaliable for download(even thought they shouldnt need to be downloadable caw slots) I cant remember the last time a 2k community manager talked to the fans or so. They deleted the forum which they famously deleted posts and banned people for giving feedback and stuff. Havent seen the same on the AEW FF discord so far. I would put THQ slightly ahead of 2K...but that is not saying much since they both suck so bad at this. But in THQs case it just feels worse because the game isnt full enough with content and stuff, and there is no clear road map. WWE2k has all that. We know what to expect in terms of DLC, there is enough content and stuff to do for a year...AEW yet lacks that, and that is why i think the lack of communication feels worse. Doesnt help that they promised long term Post launch support and we got absolutely nothing yet. I can see them build one now based on the feedback, but we dont know...and that sucks. Like i get things take time, but more transparency would be nice. Tell us how things are going with a patch, give the people some crumbs to work with.
  5. I love how literally the only ones upset that yet another pointless, shitty patch came...are the female caw creators. And that only because they expected new hair to be added and got nothing. Like, nobody cares anymore and goes through the motion as spineless as possible. Get hyped for the next DLC/Patch...get next to nothing, wait for the next DLC/Patch that does nothing.
  6. Who are everyone? I legit only saw nintendo run with the dates and nobody else. They werent in the PS store or anything. But either way, it is a weird situation because the game isnt even focused on the Switch so why would they be the first to get a date from THQ? Why did they wait till the alleged release date till they came out and said something? And while Nintendo in the past had false Dates for stuff, it is not as common...so that makes it a bit more weird how they got these specific dates for a AEW DLC. It is so weird how we get two companies who make Wrestling games, and both absolutely suck at communication with the fans.
  7. At first i thought it was just the basic tights done red...but then i remembered that you cant even do that yet in the mode. So its definitley an additional attire. I think they had a video too some time ago where they showed the unlockable gold attires, where sting had a different face paint. We will see where this goes. Hopefully a big update in general on the caw mode.
  8. Ha, see, this is why i love the CAW community. Even with such restricted Options, people manage to make caws nobody expect you would see in the game because of it. But nope, @Fry420xmakes Tatanka...really cool.
  9. Mani-Man

    WWE Drama

    I dont get why many of us thought that, maybe in the wrestling bubble he was really smart...but i doubt that because look at how far he fell. He is literally repeating the most basic right wing talking points without an ounce of unique thought in them. Recently about "protecting" Women in sports crap while at the same time being one of the dudes that want actively take womens rights on their bodies away. Bastard.
  10. Well if the gameplay isnt keeping you, then no. The DLC is new models and animations...thats it. I have no interest in this DLC either, even though i like Bray and Blair. Because this is not doing anything that makes the gameplay more interesting, so there is really no value in this DLC for me.
  11. A helpful list, thank you. Its always bad because these games tend to have very different names for moves than they are commonly known as, have that problem quite often with 2k23. But at least they have the Categories...AEW sadly makes it very annoying to find the moves as it is. I was trying to finish the moveset of my James Storm caw, and that is very tedious.
  12. I havent counted it, but i feel like the Women have more options in general. That Lita one is really cool...maybe i will make one too. I still need a caw for my Female Road to Elite attempt.
  13. Seems like this DLC is the best one like people expected. Looking visually really neat. Brays entrance could need more Effects, more smoke...but otherwise neat. Im mostly curious about the new moves. Other than that, yeah i dont think i will get this DLC either. This years DLCs are super boring.
  14. Yup, me too. Like there is so much fun to be had, its insane. There are so many cool details in there, from being able to hit a springboard hurricanrana to someone on the apron and it really connecting, to doing a moonsault from the barricade after a irish whip counter. Being able to move in the lock up and actually being able to put people that way into the corner or ropes. The way the punches and kicks feel, how the moves sound and feel...the gameplay is so much fun to play. The Mods are insane already and show what the game could be. The Okada and White mods are so incredible insane because there is actually a chance both could be in the game soon. The basics are all there for this game, it is just a matter of content. I am surprised at how well the Models look when you put them either in AEW or WWE. Like those wwe2k23 ported models look really good and taking the AEW FF models into wwe2k23 looks good too. We are truly eating good currently. Well im not as much since i dont have a good PC so im not having either FPW, WWE2k23 or AEW on PC with mods, but still...i enjoy seeing the modding community being alive while i do either caw in 2k23 or have fun matches in AEW.
  15. I dont care for the MyGM mode and from what i heard the mode is inferior to previous games, the Universe mode is more messy than ever. Bringing features back but broken or less good than games did in the ps2 era...is not a win imo. MyFaction is a hated mode by many because it is made for Microtransactions while hiding models behind that mode. They have all the money in the world to hire more people to get rid of bugs etc. They had after 2k20 the perfect chance to get rid of the old base that keeps breaking, yet they didnt. They should get no wiggle room at this point when they have/had all in the world to make a working game series. Neitherrealm revitalized the MK series so huge, there is far more to it than on the surface is seen. Not about the features, but basic gameplay and all. Fighting games are some of the most evolved games out there because they evolved in their core so much. That goes far deeper than what casuals can see. This has nothing to do with supporting their behaviour and with you making simply a dishonest accusation for whatever reason. They simply said people can create their own wrestlers and that you can do. They never stated how deep that create mode is...so calling anybody a liar or so about this is simply dishonest. It is one thing to say that you arent happy with what they deliver, that is fine...but claiming it factual as a lie what they deliver, is not okay because they didnt lie. They just offered less than you expected and demanded. But that is not their fault. I want the whole wwe2k game to be changed from top to bottom. Sure there are modes i care about more, but that is why i want them to change the whole thing...i want to have fun playing wrestling games from top to bottom and not buy a game for 1-2 modes.
  16. What i want from them is deliver a game worth the price and not just being a slight content update that still breaks. They regressed with modes, made them worse or took them out...there is not one mode in the last 5 years to me that has expanded or made better. Neither modes nor matches i would like to play...all the same or made worse. Which is even worse considering all the stuff after 2k20. We are right back at minimum updates for maximum prices. Neither do we know what they will add to AEW nor do we know the price of it. Making any assumption on that doesnt matter at this point. I cant speak for other Fighting games, but Mortal Kombat delivers even in the core gameplay always huge changes that make it feel fresh. The Combo feature in wwe2k...did that not...at least for me. Its still the same boring core, just with a combo feature i hardly use because it doesnt make the gameplay feel more alive. When you dont even know what exactly he said, then its even worse what you do here. Fact is that he said you can create custom wrestlers, and you can. What you think that should be, is your beer...but calling him a liar because you expect and demand other things, is just dishonest. You can be upset about the lack of options without making false accusations just because of that. I would even go so far and say that marketing was more true to the final product than wwe2k23 which promised to be "Evenstronger"...which i dont see where they should have delivered on that.
  17. Isnt this more however a basic Problem with dlc and pre-order in the gaming industry as a whole? Where Finished content etc is Held back to sell Additional as dlc and stuff? Like wwe2k had stuff like angle, mysterio, undertaker as pre-order...Things that should be in the base game. That strikes me as a Problem in the whole industry to an annoying degree.
  18. There are enough people who pay that price for me to use it as the base to go with. If you dont buy the season pass etc, im glad, more people should do that. But thats not the case. And the Content is not the same because again, i pay here for AEW for a new game...not a reskin or so. While you pay 60 bucks upwards for a wwe2k that gives you content you already own mostly. Half a roster that is already in the previous one, modes, animations etc that you already pay last year, 2 years ago. But AEW at least this one, doesnt do that. Sure the basic content difference is huge and may raise questions in terms of the price. But if you honestly look at the new content you get, AEW offers more because in the end you pay year after year for wwe2k for content you in theory own already with the previous game. Calling Omega a liar because you had wrong expectations, is a very low bar to be honest. You can create a custom wrestler, that its not as deep as you wanted it to be doesnt change that. Claiming he lied is incredible dishonest on your part. We all want a bigger caw mode and are dissapointed in what we got, but this accusation is just wrong to make. I can only speak for myself and say, no 2k doesnt deliver, hasnt for years to me. The gameplay still lacks any fun, the caw problems i have are still there since 2k18, the advanced entrance i wanted back is broken...they have done absolutely nothing for me and delivered nothing. I do not care what the reason for that is, these two are incredible big companies...i only care that they have the money and people, yet dont manage to give me the experience i want. Isnt the pre-order bonus pretty much free for those pre-ordering? while it cost money for those that dont? Getting an additional wrestler for free seems fine to me. What i dont get on this is that there is a hardy boys DLC with matt and jeff...but isnt Jeff in the base game? The DLC, i will not disagree with anybody on that. This first Season at least sucks big time. I dont know how many animations etc the FTR DLC offers, but if its not 50+ then the price is too much. Sure the wwe2k dlc packs dont offer too much too when you look at it. 4-5 wrestlers that each have outside of entrance 3-4 animations and all that...doesnt look much on paper, but its definitly more than 2 wrestlers and 2 minigames. Didnt expect the Battle Royale to be free yeah, but that is good. If they can add this kind of stuff for free, just like wrestlers, matchtypes, creation parts...they can elevate the base game a lot. If you however keep doing these season DLCs as they are, you will not get far because that is just too little content for the price. The Battle Royale mode if its good, if its crossplay with all platforms and stuff...if the mode works, it adds a lot to the games value.
  19. When did they started with the Trios title? This mode is probably in the making for 2 years or so, it Takes quite some time to create such Modes. But Yeah, as fun as this could be, we need Focus on the current AEW landscape too. Trios title is a must soon.
  20. Stadium Stampede looks wild. This either will be incredible good or incredible bad. What i like about this is that they thought farther than just wrestling with this. Something i always said the WWE should do. You can do a lot more than "just" a wrestling game, you can do all kinds of fun things with it. While i didnt had Battle Royal in mind, it is something unique that could become its own thing if it works. Its them trying that i like. Outside of some smartphone games, WWE isnt really doing a lot of experiments in terms of games...so i really like that AEW does this here.
  21. Yup, but they need to deliver a few of these things fast if they want people to stay with this consistently. There is a lot possible and man i wont lie, a ROH or NJPW DLC with the right people would be incredible cool to see. Will be interesting to see Spring Stampede, it could either be a incredible fun mode that keeps people playing...or a broken mess that is dying fast. The plan was always add more stuff going forward instead of just releasing a new game next year. But with how barebones the game is, the patience isnt there for many. If the base game would have had more content to begin with, people would be slightly more patient for further updates. Cool is that you can give Feedback to the Global Senior CM of THQ, if anybody wants to do that. Doesnt mean they will do all that, but its always good if people are open to listen to fans.
  22. Doesnt matter what wwek23 has, it is about what it adds yearly to justify a 120 price tag. People buy the game for this much mainly for content they already have, because the next game adds little to it. In the next year you will have 2k24 where the price is the same but with lesser content because in its standard game there is already content this year people paid 120 dollar for. Like people pay additional money to get DLC characters that next year will be in the standard version etc. Doesnt matter how long Yukes did the WWE games, they had a whole different focus, approach etc to this. Alone that they gone back to animate everything by hand, takes them far longer than Motion Capture. It is a more time consuming work. And your expectations on this are not Yukes fault. Just because they did the wwe games a certain way, didnt mean they would bring the same to AEW. Blaming them for your false expectations is rather dishonest because they didnt promise more than they delivered. You cant compare these two games because they simply go on a basic level, on the basic idea in two opposite directions. One is literally fully focused on Gameplay while the other on Content. Its absolutely the same people. Which is not a big deal as long as they keep the same energy for future WWE2k games too. Ive been saying for years that the Fans need and should be more vocal and demand more. Like i said, cool if people demand more content from AEW...but then they should do the same for the WWE games because the yearly content update they pay 120 bucks for...is rather messed up.
  23. I find the idea hilarious that suddenly people are looking at their wallet. Like where was this with 2k23 which some bought for 120 bucks and compared to 2k22 only added one Match type and a broken advanced entrance? Like cool if People want stuff for their money, but where was this energy the last few years for 2k when people gladly paid 120 bucks for each New game that on its own barely added anything? 2k22 added nice visuals and combos Nobody likes...woth 120 to some. Dont get me wrong, call out AEW for Lack of content etc, but i will be seated because i sure as shit expect you All to raise hell on 2k24 if it adds as few things as 2k23 did, since everyone now suddenly demands a lot for their money.
  24. There the problem is that we had with all other wrestling games...big promises but little to show for. Like they do weekly Q&A but outside of the Announce Trailer we havent seen much. Like what they say sounds nice and all, but im worried that this will end up like the other dozens of kickstarter etc wrestling games that wanted to remake and capture the AKI Games spirit. We had it too many times by now where people talked the same talk with their game and ended with nothing. Look at how much Pro Wrestling X promised, and now? I dont even know where this stands. Of course im hyped for more wrestling games, but im cautious too.
  25. The Wrestling Code now has the chance to hit the sweet spot with the knowledge of how people feel about WWE and AEW games. If its not all just Smoke and Mirrors on their end, we really could get here a third incredible cool wrestling game. It will be interesting to see. We are in a great timeline. We will see how 2k reacts to AEW, we will see how AEW will evolve their game and we will see what they do with The Wrestling Code...cool times for Wrestling game fans.
