    Maybe it's because I cranked stamina cost up and stamina recovery down, but this is far and away the best stamina has been, in my opinion. I get tons of those animations in logical, organic places. The fact that they can come from so many moves and not just finishers is what's game-changing for me. Like I said, the only missing piece to me is the lack of fatigued rope climbing animations. Besides that, this blows 2K15 out of the water. 2K15 was slow 100% of the time. In 2K24, things that should be slow are slow and things that should be fast are fast. There's this weird idea to some that simulation = slow and arcade = fast, but I disagree. Being slower than real matches is just as unrealistic as being faster than actual matches, and the goal of simulation is realism.

    People can dig their heels in about the controls, but the reality is that more people like the changes they made with the reboot than dislike them. They're sticking with it because for most people, it's an upgrade. I think the flow is the best thing about 2K24. Again, I also adjusted my sliders. If you max out stamina and get rid of instant recovery and ring escape, there's definitely downtime.

    My problem with this is that you're basically saying "if you do 2Ks job of balancing the gameplay for them, its good". Your experience is valid and i'm extremely happy you're having a blast, but I personally feel it shouldn't be on the players to go in and fix that for them, it should work at its best right out of the box.

    Again, it's not the controls that bother me, its the lock-ups and breakers. I'm fine with how the game controls, it's the way it plays where I have some issues, if that makes sense. I still fully believe we can have the best of both worlds, it doesn't need to be one or the other.

  2. I think lighting for customized advanced entrances may be broken, at least for my CAW it's constantly dark throughout his entrance even though I have multiple lighting changes set to occur throughout.

    Pretty much every jacket in CAW mode baloons out ridiculously, to a silly degree.

    Also.. you know. Crashes.

  3. I don't agree entirely with everything being said, though I respect that that's just my personal opinion. I for instance still think the old stamina system was better and helped match flow more, and I think that the grapple system prevents it from being the most realistic among other things, but i'm definitely having more fun that I did with 2K22 and 2K23 by a large milestone. If they just fix the bugs and make some adjustments, I can see the series finally pulling ahead.

    I do still think match flow is a problem though. There's no down time, it's just constant offense; and a lot of matches feel the exact same due to the grapple and combo system. This is compounded by the problem i've mentioned where people just.. don't stay down long enough. No matter how much of a beating they take, everyones back to their feet way too quickly. I also, and i've said this before, just utterly despise the breaker system. I hate any reversal system in which I have to make guesses based on RNG. I think it's acceptable for the combo system but utterly despise that I honestly think the only reason they don't revert to the better grapple system from before is because of the breakers; and i'm getting very weary of their habit of just ignoring small problems until they baloon, THQ did that and they rightfully got shit for it, I don't want to see 2K start to get a free pass for the same thing.

    But this is a major step in the right direction, and assuming they actually fix the bugs currently causing certain modes to be less than they could, this will be the first time since 2K19 I probably play the game year long.

    High Justice is for Dijak.

    Yeah you jsut hold down the strike button, can only occur once a match.

    Just hold it? Okay, and maybe I admittedly haven't watched NXT in a long ass time, because Sportsnet is friggin awful.

    That one *censored*ing boo sound effect is still in the crowd, it is so *censored*ing annoying.

  5. 2K24 bug since we don't have a proper section for it yet, but tag entrances don't work in universe mode if they have a manager.

    Edit: it appears only some don't work, and the ones who don't work can't have their trio entrance edited.. for some reason.

  6. Someone else mentioned it earlier but i gotta agree, it's a little too easy to bust people open. Im tending to do so in the first 30 seconds of a match.

    Also by default the AI uses running attacks and irish whips waaaaay too much. I know they're proud of their improvements to irish whips but sheesh.

    and everyone STILL has that *censored*ing DDT!

    The "Allow Held Input for Mini-Games" option does not appear to work in universe mode.
