I think yellow is the stun meter?

I'm a fan of "renders" going away. Covered up bad CAWs and prevented you from seeing which attire you were selecting...in addition to being one more image eaten up. Good riddance if they're gone.

I'm a fan of adding teams like 3MW and the Wild Samoans, but the argument for Showcase gets weaker every year. We're at the point where the Samoans didn't even come with opponents or an arena from that era. It's literally just the Samoans. Zero reason for a Showcase here, unless you... like being told what to do in the matches you play?

Now that I pay attention to it in context, I wonder if it's another tier of stamina, like how damage goes from green to red? It seems to go up when you rest and down when you're active. Maybe that's a way to get the wrestlers to behave differently early in a match than they do late in a match? Maybe you can only chain wrestle early, for example? Maybe it's a step toward some form of long term selling?

like i said as long as they added more poses i'm all for it going away.  i honestly wasn't a fan of them to begin with.  i used them in 2k14 via soft mod editing but i definitely could do without them plus it's extra logo slots that could be used for actual stuff like more logos on caw, more logos on CAA, CAC etc. so yeah on this i think we're on the same page lol

 

yeah as far as showcase i'd put that argument with 2k16 where when we got the austin showcase we got people like whipwreck, d'lo and a retro mark henry that at that point we wouldn't have gotten if not for showcase but now i guess you can say i've grown past showcase.  I didn't play it in 19, 20, 22, 23 or 24 because they just didn't appeal to me.  the only one where i was glad it happened was the daniel bryan one because we got retro kofi and i was gutted they removed him and truth's 2012 models but it is what it is another door opens and all that.

 

it's basically a what if match but i'm all for it because if they come with great moves that's what i'm about.  as i said before i wonder who in the last 5 game appearances has their time come up to either be renewed or removed.  the only person i can really think of that might be in danger of being removed is maybe nash hall and macho.

I noticed a Yellow meter below the health meter this year, I thought maybe it was  stamina bar added back but I saw the circle that had stamina in prevous years. 

it has the same design as the stamina meter in 24 except it's yellow.  so i'd assume they changed it to maybe depending on how much stamina has lost it changes colors.

That’s Barack Obama’s playlist. JoeMashups gets people every year with it. Lol. I wish a 2K soundtrack had 23 songs

i took it from witty or i thought i did lol

The tantrums about Jey Uso's entrance are hilarious. People are screaming about him being "the most over guy in the company", but I think it's the entrance that's over. That's why they're freaking out about it. Big diva stan energy. 

it seems to me they were complaining about his model being the same but yeah i don't understand the tantrums to be honest

 

all i really care about is the game working as it should.  bells and whistles are nice and all but if i pick say roman or seth to come through the crowd, they should come to the crowd. in custom arenas.  this has been an issue since 2k22 and no dev has addressed or flat out stated why it's not working properly

Jey Uso's entrance was the one I was looking forward to the most tbh, just because he goes through the crowd and the atmosphere and whole vibe are just off the charts. With the whole crowd and even the announcers yeeting. Maybe 2K26 is the year for that if it continues to be a thing on television. As for Jey not being that over, he's got a catchphrase, he's a merch mover, and people are heavily invested in his storyline(s) the past several years. If that's not being over, I dont know what is. Shame his match at the last 'Mania was a bit of a stinker. Still don't get what happened there. But he's absolutely one of the most popular names on the roster currently, and out of Roman's shadow imo. Give the dude his props is all I'm saying. I wish my favorites were as over as Jey is right now..

All I've seen is complaints about the entrance. It's crazy to me that people expect these huge rosters every year, and then don't understand why everyone can't get a new model/entrance/move/etc.

It's going to be interesting to see how much of a motion capture hit Showcase had on the rest of the game. I'm curious to see how many moves/entrances/etc have been added this year compared to other years now that Showcase is eating up motion capture again.

MyRise is underrated in it's ability to take mocap time and energy as well. Also now we have the Island, so the NPC's and what you and all of them are doing had to be mocapped, I believe. I still think we're getting a long list of new moves with the sheer amount of new talent coming into the franchise this year. There was only one time we didn't get a crazy amount of new moves and that was I believe 2K22, which our friend had warned us about 2 years ahead of time.

MyRise is a mode we already know has been hit by this. We used to get two MyRise stories. This year we're getting one. The difference between MyRise and Showcase is that people want to play the career mode. If they play Showcase, it's because they're forced to in order to unlock arenas/wrestlers/moves held hostage behind the mode for a lot of people. As I said earlier, the Showcase defense gets weaker every year. It wasn't that bad when they were putting minimal resources into it. I'm interested to see how big of a hit it was to the rest of the game.

That Pro Wrestling Shoot guy kinda said the quiet part out loud now that they got rid of slingshot tech and started wasting mo-cap on the mode. He was screaming and yelling about it being "immersion breaking", but now he's being honest. He's a streamer, and he couldn't stream the mode because he'd get popped for copyright because of the actual footage. It wasn't about "immersion", the content creators just wanted easy content to create. It's the same thing with the YouTubers being obsessed with Universe. Most people don't care about good content creation tools. They want a game that's fun to play.
