Multiplat WWE 2K17

[YelloMit]

Surprised that there isn't a thread for this yet.

Anyway, I've been playing 2k16 for a bit, and man, I am SO HAPPY that they have the option to change the submission system back to the button mash version. 2k16's sub system is ****ing horrendous.

These games always look good (with a few exceptions), until you play them.

Graphics haven't changed in like 5 years. Still look shit but i will still buy it and put hours on end into it.

I wasn't going to buy last year's, then I got suckered in when it was on sale and grabbed it. Played the showcase through, then played a couple of hours of the career and never touched it again. Probably spent longer making my character than I did playing the career.

They seem to be going down the path of lots of sports games and making things way too overly complicated instead of fun.

I just don't get how NBA 2k can be so ****ing great, then their WWE team produces what they do, its crazy.

Theres no showcase mode this year so they've put all their time into universe mode & mycareer which i think is a great idea, **** "reliving" events you watched growing up

 

[Mitho]

Loved last years showcase and my career and still play the exhibition mode from time to time. In from day one. I actually thought 2015 was good, 2016 was great so this one I'm hoping for a step up again

2k16 played very well, it's just that the MyCareer mode was so f***ing linear that it was pointless.

Also the submission system was the best they've had, button mashing is f***ing stupid.

The wheel was excellent.

You're literally the only person I've seen that actually likes their sub system.

Plenty of people like it, I can't understand why there are people who prefer button mashing.

I'm going to back the wheel as well.

After a long enough play session the button mashing would always result in a blister on my thumb. The wheel may have taken some getting use to but at least I knew when I was about to give up.

Pretty sure it's still the same team (yukes) making it, just the publisher has changed.

That could very well explain it then.

 

[A Tiger 4 lyf]

Its also still the same engine thats been used since Early PS2 games

 

[boydsno1]

Story mode revolves around being a Paul Heyman guy. Looks good.

Just put this in the playstation...11gb Day 1 Patch

 

[Dez!]

I've been downloading over the past few days but thanks to shit weather and power outages it's been a complete bitch. Hopefully will be finished when I get home.

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

what the **** is it with 2k games and massive day one patches 11gig for this something similar for nba **** off

 

[boydsno1]

So anyone managed to get around to playing it yet?

 

[MakeshiftMartyr]

2 hours left on my download.

Forgot it was even out today until I got a notification for this thread.

Which card did everybody get? I got Balor from Takeover London.

 

[Dez!]

F***ing internet, died at 85% and now can't finish downloading because of campaigners using internet.

Can only do a 1 on 1 match with Styles/Reigns/Ambrose/Lesnar/Owens/Balor.

 

[MakeshiftMartyr]

Loving this so far, so many little improvements.

Also the community creations are already decent. So far got...

For belts:
Universal
SD Womens
SD Tag
Cruiserweight (the new purple one, spot on.)

Wrestlers:
TJ Perkins
Brian Kendrick
Broken Matt Hardy
Raven

 

[boydsno1]

Love the wrestlers walking across the menu screen.

In my career they have removed your voice over when you talk. How shit is that.

I've had a lot of fun mucking around with the character creation, custom entrances etc so far. I find all that stuff really engrossing.

Not sure about the actual wrestling though - with the new reversal system, it seems like I'm just waiting for the CPU character to make a mistake. I spend most matches with my character lying on the ground. I'd prefer something more dynamic, maybe it opens up a bit more as you go on, and hopefully I'm just missing a few things.

Also wouldn't mind a women's career - I wanted to play as a evil mma type who would slap the fake tan of becky lynch's terra cotta face.

Really looking forward to spending a fair bit of time with this over the weekend.

edit: if you'd like to spend time in NXT, be sure not to beat Joe in practice or Enzo in the promo class, otherwise you'll go straight to the main roster.

I've definitely felt once the CPU gets a roll on it's much harder to turn the tide. I haven't minded that so much, at least it brings some sort of challenge.

I also made that mistake. I was really looking forward to dominating NXT but I've been pushed into the main roster tag division with some jobber.
