Why can I never get these glitches?

You aren't the only one. I've spent over 10 hours playing this game and haven't seen a single glitch yet.

The most I get are some rope interaction glitches but beyond that I never get a lot of these hilarious ones.

Yea, I don't know. For me this game has been an amazing experience.

I thought he was just trying to play matches with one specific person.
If that's the case, the private match lobbies do work for that. The "wait for a match" thing made me think about wanting other people in the match other than who he'd invite.
Alex Navarro makes career mode sound pretty bad in his review. Say what you want about SvR 2007, but the thing that makes that game's career mode better than that of SvR 2008 is how you're always part of a clearly identifiable storyline, which sounds like the opposite of myCareer.
Private matches can only be played with friends.
The new Background Matchmaking basically puts you in a match where you cannot pick who you are and cannot enter with friends. You edit your favorites prior to and you keep the matchmaking on for it to find a game. It becomes a waiting game. Playing online was basically the reason I got it so it's a bummer 2K has done such a poor job for it. Even last gen 2K15 had the old lobbies.

I don't necessarily mind the concept itself. But they could do so much better. Essentially, you should be able to party up with a couple people in a matchmaking queue and then go ahead and do whatever you want. When it matches, both of you accept and are put into a lobby with a certain time limit to pick your character and vote on a match type. If someone drops out of that lobby during the connection, you wait until another person joins or you vote to have the CPU take over. It's not perfect, but the way it is right now is pure shit.

So played a bit. Wrestlers look great. But ring etc and the surrounding lighting+pyros etc suck. Not sure if this game is 900p on xbone.
Regarding gameplay, there are very subtle changes which almost none of reviewers have mentioned like:
1. Wrestlers drag opponent near ring middle while hitting a move, making sure there's enough space.
2. The animations look very realistic now. Irish whip etc has good interaction with ropes.
3. Character specific movements. Noticed it with Hulk Hogan and Kane. They walk and take hits, run etc exactly like their real life counterparts. Uploading a video now, it will be more clear.
3. Hair is very improved. Still not perfect but way better than last gen. Check video to see.
Will play more tomorrow and update. Overall I am liking it.

How are you enjoying the game so far?
Enough to platinum it, but I don't think this is going into my multiplayer wrestling rotation. Just lacking so much and the only reason we have a more modern one in the rotation is because of the crazy weapon landings, especially the steps... Which has been calmed down a lot now. They barely glance the steps.
The stamina model works, but the amount of jank still in the game is crazy. My springboard shooting star basically teleports to the top rope, my CAW can't hit diving moves to the outside, they just go through the other guy and career mode is a boring slog through reading tweets by Vickie Guerrero and I'm actually glad it ends at the WWE title. Universe is almost exactly the same as last year except you can pick the type of rivalry, which is fun to pick out the rivalries you saw the last few years, because I don't think they've added any. You can put a name to them now! Submission matches are just way to prevalent still.
Showcase is fun and since I got bought the deluxe, I'll probably come back to it for them once the new ones are out. CAW model is a lot worse. Parts are missing, as is to be expected with new graphics really, but the morphing isn't as extreme as it used to be, so you can't have fun with it. Not only that, but those sliders are so limited, it's really difficult to get real peoples face shapes.
Just taking the whole package at face value, even ignoring the cut down features like the match modes that Universe will book for you but are inexplicably missing from the menus and all the create modes, I still couldn't really recommend anyone to pick this up, especially at full price. Hell, unless they throw some patches in to correct some of this, I couldn't recommend it at $30.
8/10
VGCW Bazza is currently playing this on stream... he got the William Regal retirement feud in myCareer mode, and in their final match, the finish was Bazza managing to kick out of the Power of the Punch at one, followed by Regal countering Bazza's finishing move and getting the pin. Emergent storytelling, 4½ star match.

So getting jumped before a match results in...the match starting normally?
But your energy is reduced!!!
Yeah, it's dumb, because other than the energy reducing, you're still posing like you're ready for the start of the match. It was better last year when you start outside the ring.

He's no selling male pattern baldness in that video too
Well it only took 12 hours, but I finally got a cutscene in career that was voiced. Sure, only Vickie spoke and not my guy or Cena, but still.
EDIT: Didn't know there were only 3 catching finishers.... And one is a tombstone which makes no sense.
Also, there's double finishers, so in a triple threat, you can give an AA, Chokeslam or Shellshock to 2 people at once.

exactly, the game isnt perfect but it does somethings fantastically...some of of those things shit all over classics like no mercy and firepro. people there's good and bad with every wrestling game, including the aforementioned. well except Raw for xbox, there was no good with that.
They've literally not put in menu items for matches that are in the game. Purposefully and without reason with the only reason that I can even think of being a bullet point for things added next year. I think the biggest problem with this game is that it fails to shit on even 2k14, let alone the classics.
Think it's been the worst reviewed WWE game in years at least, so there is some comeuppance.

Lol yeah its a funny pic, but your knowingly posting a shot that doesn't due the game justice. we both know that in motion, Cena actually looks pretty perfect.

The games not that bad but I have/had two fairly major problems. I still can't access career and unless I've missed it they aren't directly addressing the problem on their board yet and I got stuck on the start up picture of John Cena and couldn't navigate out of it until I started up another game and it reset.
While I may think these games are not of the highest quality, I've never had anything game breaking before this entry.

I'm pretty happy about this. Hopefully 2k listens and dumps Yukes.
This may be a stupid question since it's Yukes, but is there a logical reason for this? I mean, isn't the point of career mode to win and, subsequently, defend the WWE title? To have the mode end immediately after winning the title is as anticlimactic as it can get.
So not even $29.99? IYHO, what's it worth?

That is pretty dumb. Did they just run out of ideas on how to defend it?
Man I really hate the "It's about the journey, not the destination" approach to storytelling sometimes.
Well I'd say $30 if you wanted the trophy as that will take you some time, but $20 otherwise. It's a nice DVD of the 2 feuds in Showcase.
The nL breaking has begun.

I haven't started career mode yet. Playing Showcase mode now. It is pretty good, the stamina system and even the QTEs at the beginning of the matches are actually fun. The stamina system changes the animations considerably, like getting up after low stamina means your wrestler will crawl towards ropes and get up slowly, his running is slow, climbing top turnbuckle animation also changes, even the pinning animations change, like you just keep an arm on the downed opponent, just like it happens in WWE. Some wrestlers look OMFG great. Commentary is a mixed bag, sometimes its very generic, but sometimes its pretty awesome. I was playing Rybak vs Stone Cold in normal mode, and King and Cole were discussing a lot about Rybak, his debut, how he turned "villain", etc. It was pretty good. But many matches had meh commentary. I guess it will improve a lot next year.
An example of character specific animations is at 1:15 in my video. Hogan sells the punches to the back just like he does in real life. Its pretty awesome. Subtle changes like these are easily ignored by reviewers.

I haven't dived into Career or Universe, but to play one on one, this seems better than the Yukes games have ever been. With that said, some of the missing content is inexplicable and as a lot of people rely on that, I can see why the game has been marked down. I think it's a solid foundation - I dare say that if Yukes are going to remain involved, the core wrestling needs little work & that the next year would be best spent sweeping up bugs and restoring absent content rather than introducing awkward new gameplay bullet points.
