"One area which they acknowledge wasn't up to par in 2K17 was the in-game commentary, which is also being overhauled."
No shit
Also only a few months away and still no gameplay? Hmmm

Sorry mate, I think you linked the wrong article, I remember all these changes from last year, do you have this years?
At least Jibble and King are gone from commentary (it's Cole, Graves, and Saxton).
Game's gonna be terrible, though.

I'll fucking gift Fire Pro on Steam for people if they promise not to buy that Yukes shit.
Still no video yet it's only 3 months out
They said they were in the same room last year and it was still shit
Can't wait to see what shit they say this year!
Hey, re-adding options as new things again!
What is this, SD V Raw 2006? It should be good, but it wasn't done well back then...

I haven't played a main WWE game since SvR 09. It's gonna be a step up for me regardless. Everything's coming up Milhouse!
It actually isn't. They're all a step down since HCTP

There should be a bingo card of all the things they promise to fix year after year because that's one of them.

Yup, I'm remaining positive unlike the others. Also it's funny I was talking about smackdown 3 having 8 man battles a few hours ago and how great that was, here we are now with it finally coming back. You're welcome everyone.

Forget graphics. Fix the gameplay already. Punch Kick punch kick fish for running attacks is all this and smackdown games have ever been. Its like it punishes you for wanting to wrestle in a wrestling game because strikes come out faster and knockdowns into stomps to ruin someone's health for the remainder of the match are the only tactics that mean anything.
Fuck that series. Fire Pro all the way. Grappling games where your encouraged to grapple. That one core difference is why the No Mercy crowd has always been so vocal IMO. It was a series that encouraged grappling over striking too. Thats the biggest thing wrestling games should do and they just stopped 17 years ago like idiots after their titles were once one of the top titles to look forward too during their console gens.

I find it hard not to call people friend outside of WrassleGAF. I always want to end things with ", friend"
Start calling them Uce, Uce.

GWF FACTS POST-GWF5
Fun Show.
And I would have gotten a win if it weren't for that meddling
Dean.
So the lady and I marathoned through GLOW and then watched the GLOW Documentary. Fun times.
After having enjoyed the show and finding the characters on fictionalized GLOW and then the real GLOW to be funny and entertaining, she asked afterward why wrestling doesn't have such obvious characters like GLOW besides people like Carmella and Rusev and the Wyatt guys (note: not an exhaustive list of WWE wrestlers).
I tended to agree. Too many generic fucks whose character seems to be "I wrestle because I went to wrestling school and its a good paying job". That's the sort of thing that explains careers for people who went to law school or business school or journalism school, but not pro wrasslers.
For example, Seth Rollins's character is "my 1040 lists 'Professional Wrestler' as my occupation". But don't confuse this with Malenko or Benoit: the character isn't "I'm boring and serious because I'm super awesome at wrestling", it's just "this pays the bills, otherwise I could go do real estate, I dunno, cheer me?" Even calling it a character is charitable. It's more of a void.
80s-style presentation in 2017 will inevitably be treated as a tongue-in-cheek parody, and I'm not advocating for everyone (Styles, Joe, Lesnar, Neville, Finn, Owens, etc.) to become cartoons, but more Fashion Police and more Rusev & Jinder and more Drifter please.

I do it everywhere, friend. You'd be surprised how much people smile when it's just casually dropped like that
Uce, I use "friend" even in normal everyday conversations.

Poor form.
You. The answer is you. Loser.
Bought SvR2010 and 2K13. Didn't pay more than $30 for either. Disappointed both times. Only WWE games I've bought in the last 10 years. Series is such complete and utter trash and has been for ages now.
How about rewriting the gameplay engine? Like, all of it for example. Nope, still programming code from the 20th fucking century in there.

If he gets to 9, use your authority to make an elination chamber and put him in first.
8 people in a match again?
Is this the most shocking thing for the new game because the bar is just so low because it's Yukes?

Well I'm excited for 2k18, I have fun with it and I am excited to see the updates to Career mode. My main issue was that career mode was way slow. If "Sprawling" is what they want to call that then fine but im glad they are trying to
reign
it in.
