These games, from a gameplay perspective, have gone off in the total opposite direction of what they were when I still had fun with them. PS2 era had technical limitations, but was far more enjoyable with its stories and fighting. The N64 ones by AKI (or whoever the dev was) can't be topped in terms of the wrestling.
It used to be PGR2, but it's become Forza 5. Nothing is wrong with that, per se, it's just they are making a different product for the same audience. I don't find it deep as much as clunky and trying too hard to be a simulation of something that's all about fun and energy. It's like reading a text book to learn how to socialize, it doesn't mesh.

What about The Oddities? I thought to myself "I don't remember this being an instrumental".
2K is all about sim and that's how they've done their sports games. I would love for them to hand a team over for an arcady style (i.e. All Stars types or something along those lines). Or one like those old Royal Rumble games on the SNES and Genesis. One with tons of older characters from the 80's and 90's.
DDP's intro music on the Network sounds like that soft jam rock you'd hear in one of those fantasy golf games on the Sega Saturn.

Now how am I supposed to relive Cesaro's career without the Creative has nothing for you simulator?

The career mode stuff looks pretty interesting and combined with the new gameplay systems, impressive animation work and solid roster im looking forward to this now
What, you weren't satisfied with 3 PPV appearances a year for five years leading directly into a title opportunity followed by a fast forward through a 15 year unbeaten streak before your retirement match where you walk away with the belt?
I wasn't. :'(
You could download one from Community Creations and use him that way.

love the bit about "glorified midcarder" which involves losing entertaining matches. Now that's what I'm talking about. Should definitely help break up the grind.
Hopefully it doesn't abruptly end after winning the championship :|

It doesn't sound like it does.

I wouldn't mind losing let's say my IC title, and I am in a heated rivalry with the current holder and other contenders. Career mode doesn't have to be just about ultimately winning the WWE Championship.
Any word if Samoa Joe will be 2K16?

They did say it's a 15 year career so I doubt it ends just then. Especially with them mentioning the mid-card aspect.

2k15 also had a 15 year career that simmed to your retirement once you won the championship. It was baffling.

Same performance I believe and both communities active. Sold better on PS4 last year though so might give it the edge. But as always with WWE games, the only winning move is not to play.
Haha alright thanks.
Just watched the 2k dev video of kane orton reigns match on Twitter and it looked alright but what happened to the toned down reversals. Sure looked like a lot.

Looking forward to this. I rented 2k15 and played the shit out of it. It wasn't amazing or anything (mostly due to a small roster and MyCareer being weak) but the Showcase mode was LEGIT. I love that they have an increased focus on Showcase and a huge roster this year, thinking about picking it up for a purchase.

Is this in reference to his feud with Dean Malenko, claiming he was the man of 1,002 moves? haha

He knows 1004, and he wrote 'em all down.

Still probably the greatest comedy heel promo of all time.
EDIT: He also did an out-of-nowhere sequel to this promo more than a decade later in WWE, talking about all of the people he's beaten. It's amazing because he wasn't even being a comedy heel at the time.

Giving Vader Diesels power bomb? Lame. They already had perfectly animated Vader power bombs.

I did like how it felt they were two heavier wrestlers fighting each other.

Yea that was the thing that stood out to me as well.
Id like to see a full match in the current build at some point before launch to see how a match flows this year with limited reversals and the other new mechanics.

Still no confirmation on Raw is War 2000 and Ovaltron Smackdown.

I want to see weight detection back. I really like how they did it with Khali where it would be impossible to pick him up. It looks too goofy when Bret Hart can easily suplex Yokozuna
I "hate" Yukes and annual buyers of this game who reward their nonsense. All these new characters they've been showing have been available for free download for years. They've had no incentive for around 9yrs to improve their product.
And fuck them for removing Create A PPV. Loved it, audience ratings, top ranking PPV, top ranked matches list etc... fuck yukes.

That was in last year. It should be in this year.
It looks like a female animation. The fuck.
Which makes sense since the last time it would have been in the game would have been for a Diva.
Ahahaha. Lazy fucks.
Because it's not. Looks like they're slapping on pre-existing animations for some of the legend characters. It's obvious how they padded the numbers of wrestlers this year.

People won't stop. I've given up hope of them getting someone besides Yukes to do the game.
It's actually a new animation.
An accurate Rikishi Stink Face is already in the game -- Rikishi just doesn't have it assigned to him by default for some reason, but it's an easy edit.

I'm hoping 2K wises up. It was clear THQ didn't give a damn about the series, but I have a feeling that if 2K16 gets more of the same critical feedback as 2K15 they might do something about them.
But we as fans have been saying this about Yukes for how long now? : (
:edit: I'm still remaining cautiously optimistic, though, because I like what I see in MyCareer. That's all I play in the NBA 2K games.
