It had everything pro-wrestling was at the time and it simulated that perfectly. Contrary to what some people actually think there was very little button mashing also, only to kick out of pins whereas in the 2K series you have to button mash for several things. That’s one of my pet peeves too when people put No Mercy in the Arcade category…. It was a simulation game through and through. That’s why people loved it so much, it make Smackdown 2 feel like a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NM looks dated now because of its blocky character models but it's more of a simulation than the 2K games are for sure. And VPW2 was even more of a simulation of the old-school pro-wrestling as a sport presentation that no game can offer anymore.

People let nostalgia glasses trick them into thinking button mashing is a good mechanic rather than just being the best companies could come up with back in the day. Nevermind that, like I've brought up before, button mashing is horribly unfriendly to anyone who has problems like arthritis. Yeah I agree button mashing can be an issue for peeps with health issues. Not to mention it wears down your controls. I actually really liked the button mashing in SvR 06/07 where you could just go ham on all the buttons and it really served as a way to take out your frustrations sometimes, that was really rewarding. The issue now is that they bring back button mashing but you only can mash one single button at a time and it has to be the one they tell you. This is tedious and really leads to more tendinitis or arthritis because you're limited to only using one finger to mash one button, in this case your thumb, rather than being able to use all your fingers to give the other ones a break on any button you want.

NM has found the perfect balance, its why in 2022 people still play it. And the blocky characters...i still adore them. Okay the faces are creepy, but i love this blocky look for some reason...its why the AEW Fight Forever style works for me. Something about this more cartoony characters, i just love. And its not too over the top like battlegrounds for example, no the models are exaggerated but not too much...i loved that about No Mercy. Button Mashing in video games is in general annoying to me, but even more in wrestling games. Im so lazy that i dont want to put the work in. You can give me the most complicated controls no problem, but force me to button mash and we are enemies. It helps when you can press any button for sure, but in general i dont like it at all. I like 2k22s system where you can hold a button and the bar fills far more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having the game crash multiple times this weekend as I downloaded updated move sets spelled it out for me. I understand, I'm starting to wonder if most players have decided to deal with the crashes and glitches as long as they can still play certain aspects of the game. I feel like the Creation Suite is one of the main things that the recent patch destroyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stilldriven Posted June 13, 2022 Report Share Posted June 13, 2022 For the rest of the week, I am going to be downloading all the Arenas, CAWs and Championships I want and making sure that they are saved up and ready to play. Why? Because I am SCARED that once we get another new patch with DLC content? The freeze and crashes will be much worse. At least this way I will have everything I want saved and hopefully I can still run exhibition matches. I feel like the creators of WWE 2K22 has lost the trust of the fans. It's going to be difficult for players to get back into the game wondering if another bad patch is going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nerd Posted June 14, 2022 Report Share Posted June 14, 2022 Still having fun with the game. I’m shocked. I’m usually bored by now. But every match I have with the A.I. always gives me something different or changes the tide. Finally getting into MYGM heavy now and loving that also. I just need RVD and I’m all set.

maskedmaniac Posted June 14, 2022 Report Share Posted June 14, 2022 They (2K) really need to play these games themselves after they've relased them to see how it plays and all the bugs that are going on. Don't just rely on the consumers to do the testing and report bugs, otherwise they (2K) won't ever truly know how broken the game is in some areas.

stilldriven Posted June 15, 2022 Report Share Posted June 15, 2022 Out of curiosity I wanted to know if you guys enjoy the commentary that goes on during the matches and entrances? I honestly find some of the things being said to be entertaining. Whenever my wrestler does a tilt-a-whirl DDT, I can hear one of the commentators, I think it's Saxon that goes "Beautiful athleticismmmm!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then one of their game updates ruined that, and I haven't heard it since. Shambles. It didn't occur to me that the updates would change what is being said during commentary, or at least cancel certain things that used to be said during the game.

The only thing i noticed is that 95% of the time i Do the book end, Cole screams that booker stole the move from Rock...and i find it Kind of hilarious how it happens every time unless something Interrupts commentary.

stilldriven Posted June 15, 2022 Report Share Posted June 15, 2022 I like the fact that the commentators actually says something about our CAWs when they are making their entrance based on the character's persona. I remember in 2K19 our CAWs would make an entrance and it would be crickets lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-man89 Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 I desperately want promos in Universe back, show's just feel incomplete without them. Some weeks i just want a rivalry to be built in a promo not with an attack. I don't get why they was removed to begin with, they wasn't perfect but they could've been improved on and they helped fill out a show and they changed up the flow so its not just match after match. I wanna be able to have someone like Seth in a suit attire and be able to come out and cut a promo, not just constantly wrestle. In MyGM they let you set up promos for shows, so yeah i just don't get why they removed them from universe mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sure 2k23 is already set in stone. Hopefully he takes his cronies with him....and we can get a real wrestling game again in 2k24 or 25 he should go back to Killer Instinct where he belongs. That game was good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NiceTwice Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 My hopes are high for Brian Williams being back and I’m sure I’ll get disappointed but nobody in the series history matches his level of caring. Also maybe it’s just me but I see a parallel with this game and the wwe. This year both have lowered in quality but the product looks prettier than ever which is enough for casuals and kids to enjoy who they’re catering to more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
