Smackdown games were shit. I never understand why they get held in such high regard on GAF. The golden age was the Aki games and then a thousand years of shit. I actually think the 2k Yukes games are an improvement over the Smackdown stuff, save maybe HCTP, which I also think is overrated.
We really need a Japanese dev to sign up and do a NJPW game. That way we may see a new engine built at some point. Maybe they even get Syn Sophia.
The reason we had such great wrestling games once upon a time was due to Japan being so big on producing them. That dried up.
PC versions don't get announced until a few months later.

It'll be out later on PC with all the DLC for half the price.
"Who is Brock Lesnar?" -someone who watches Raw every week
I'm with Dremark. WWE drawing off part timers and letting their hard working talent rot on TV and job out to legends on PPVs needs to stop for the long term health of the company.

I hate to break it to ya, but some people actually like what they do for a living and care about the industry. Brock's neither one of those people.
I doubt it. I've come to accept that Yukes will take the bare minimum road possible with their WWE games. I don't care what anyone says, these guys are some lazy developers.
The Undertaker's streak lasted for 21 years and probably reached legendary status around 6 or so years into it. They could have had him put over anyone at anytime they wanted and elevated them with it.
I said that Lesnar is a symptom of this, he's certainly not the only one. John Cena should be at the point in his career that he should be primarily used to put other people over. Part timers, people who have been in the spotlight for ages and retired wrestlers shouldn't be making members of the active roster look bad, but when I finally went back to WWE at this year's Wrestlemania I saw that constantly.
Roman Reigns is really the poster child for them not knowing how to get someone over. When they tried this type of push with Rocky Miavia (Admittedly on a smaller scale) it backfired but they had the sense to turn him heel and put him on the back burner for a bit so he could learn how to get himself over.
The fact they keep pushing Reigns they way they do shows they are completely tone deaf or simply don't care about what the fans want.
Eh, Undertaker's undefeated streak didn't really hit legendary status until after Wrestlemania 20. They didn't even really start acknowledging "the streak" until roughly WrestleMania 17 or 18. Honestly it wasn't until the HBK feud that people started specifically gunning to "end The Streak".
I thought Orton wanted to end the streak at WM21?

Glad they went with someone on the "active" roster - but Lesnar is kind of a predictable snooze.
Sable unlockable, please.

Yeah it was the Orton match when beating the streak became an established goal for the roster.
Oh shit I think you're right! That was in his Legend Killer days. Yeah, that's the first time I remember "the streak" being a thing that people wanted to end
It's Kevin Steen, you filthy casual.

Well, WWE fans are mostly dumb, they are the people who chant USA in a match between 2 Canadians. So I don't give a fuck what they WANT. Like Fans on paper would probably enjoy the TNA shenanigans, but in reality, they're terrible.
But Reigns isn't even what the fans NEED. He's boring as fuck. Poorly booked, and they haven't given us a reason to care. Which means he needs a huge rewrite.
Seth Rollins (as Tyler Black) was a HATED champion in Ring of Honor because his lack of personality and spot monkey nature had no charisma, and even as a good guy, no one cared. And his rewrite for the WWE has been amazing. We like Ambrose. Owens.
Like Reigns needs to do some crazy shit to get me to care, and stop just being the stoic "underdog" in black, because it doesn't work. Also the spear just doesn't work.
I hope they expand on the MyCareer stuff. They need to make it more fleshed out than just a Renee interview.
They also need to make the crowd audio better. Where is the "This is awesome!" chants? Where is the custom chants that are shouted for certain wrestlers? They need this shit to make it more authentic.
They need to make it so that you can actually wrestle in something other than a one-on-one standard rules match in my career. Let me have a fucking no DQ, a money in the bank laddder match, etc. Every single match outside of the Wrestlemania one (which everyone gets) was a regular rules match.
I still play this game on and off and I do enjoy it, but it does get very repetitive after awhile. Changing some of this stuff would help me enjoy it far more.

Does Lesnar even have any dates left in the WWE? Probably should have made a Shield centric game. Give Ambrose/Rollins/Reigns the cover. Make the story mode all about Shield members.

Balrog Lesnar is going to be in the 2017 WWE 2K update this Fall
That was gonna happen at WM31 but then everyone booed Vince's golden boy and he had to call an audible.
Lol
Ugh. They should have never did Brock vs Roman.
Daniel "I never lost the title" Bryan vs God King Brock Lesnar would have been fucking gold.
Yeah, I'm not saying that WWE should always give the fans what they want. A good writer/booker/whatever can create interesting stuff, get people over and get the fanbase engaged.
You've hit the nail on the head in a lot of ways saying basically that he doesn't bring much to the table and that he's not booked well and I totally agree with that.
Specifically what I meant when I talked about what the fans wanted is the core "this really is not getting over" sort of thing. If Vince or whoever thought that Reigns was really talented (I don't think he is, but w/e) giving him a push isn't any sort of a cardinal sin. Sometimes people get pushed and get over, sometimes they don't, it happens.
The issue with Reigns is that the push has just been so forced past the point where it is clearly not working that it's laughable. This year's Wrestlemania was the first WWE show I watched in ages and if it hadn't been so forced that HHH was the heel, I honestly would have thought Reigns was by how badly he was getting booed.
Basically what I'm saying is you don't nessesarily need to give the fans what they want all the time, but ultimately you can only try to force them to care about something for so long before they lash back at you.

It's the earliest I can remember. But then the next few Manias didn't have it as the reason. The Mark Henry match, I don't even remember why that happened. Batista and Edge were World Title matches so that was the focus there.

Let's be real a lot of the audience that buys wwe games are the same people that buy budget duck dynasty games, those people are still on last gen and their money is just as green as anyone else's.

Benoit.
Fans acknowledged the streak way before the WWE did. Regardless of anything there isn't really a lack of talent they could have fed the streak to in order to elevate the over the 10 year plus period it was hot for.

Lesnar was on the cover of Yukes best WWE game, so maybe this one will be half way decent?
I'm not familiar with him. Is he someone on the indie circuit?

Day 1, awaiting disappointment
I thought he said nightmare.
Daniel Bryan was a head on a stick at that point and they knew it. His last concussion was one too many after a lifetime of one too many's.
Yet they booked him in a far more dangerous match than fighting Lesnar

That site's banned on NeoGAF, I'm not sure what you just typed.
Damn, I own 15 and 16 on PC, thought maybe in the announcement trailers they had a PC symbol. I know they always come out way after with all the content, but wasn't sure about the announcement. Will have to wait it out!

God that sword tattoo is so bad.
If Brock can get him to the ground he stands a good chance of winning, hunt's knees are shot. Though Brock doesn't like to get hit and he's about to fight the hardest hitter in the sport so yikes.
