Removing create a story kills this for me. Create a show isn't an equal trade off.

Hopefully it comes back next year. 2K sports is sorta good about retaining and expanding upon modes and features. I never used it, but I hate seeing others denied of it.

Creation trailer looked sick. Love that we're getting Doink's hair, Razor's jewelry and Demolition's straps. Any other things I missed?

The stupid pin system needs to go before i buy another wwe2k game.
The meter is great in theory but you add online and lag and that perfect timing u need becomes guess work or random button mashing.

While I played the shit out of No Mercy, no other AKI game comes close to wcw/nwo Revenge for me. World Tour was my first exposure to the engine, but Revenge was next level for me.

I loved Revenge as much as the next guy, but on what planet does Revenge surpass No Mercy, WM 2000 and VPW2? The only thing I can think of is possibly the low finisher damage or maybe the roster if you preferred WCW.

Would have been cool to have some made up wrestlers in the WWF games like Ming Chee and Aki Man.

Doesn't surpass No Mercy, but I remember putting a lot more hours into it. I was a huge wcw fan at the time.

No Mercy had insane features, though. CAW mode destroyed Revenge's simple recoloring tool.

wcw vs the world was my introduction but wcw/nWo world tour was king for me and if the smackdown series copied the reversal system those games used this game would be better. Separate reverse buttons for strikes and grapples is the way to go....

Perhaps not the right thread, but worth a shot.

Is there an easy to read/understand tutorial on how to actually perform moves in WWE 2k15? I can strike and throw the opponent into the ropes/turnbuckle.. but not much besides that :<

Game comes out next week and still don't know if we can have two secondary belts on one show in universe? Will the us title have the ability to do the open challenge every week? 2k's silence works on the nba game cause you know what your getting. They need to sell this game to everyone on the edge of buying it.

Expect Universe to have no changes. Minor gameplay tweaks, claiming to have something that resembles a real career mode and Austin are the selling points this year.

I love what they did with the franchise/MyGM mode in the NBA 2K series. If they've abandoned updating Universe mode I'd love to see something like that replace it.

If they take away universe mode they take away the sole reason I even want these games lol.

I should go back to fire pro.

I shouldn't say "abandoned". What I meant was if it resurfaced as MyGM-esque. I play Universe quite a bit myself, but it's lacking some oomph! MyGM gives you reasons to care about your franchise/universe.

Some interesting info in this. I didn't watch the end because I don't want to spoil My Career for myself but he mentioned during the creation the sliders for personality tendencies and that they will have an effect in Universe. I'm curious is these will play into the cut scenes or not. Would be awesome if they did rather than straight heel or face.

The info is at around 2:40 or so

I'll wait for other people to confirm, but hopefully so. Could see it just playing out in career.

At least your guy speaks in career now.

I remember when the WWE 13 Universe mode trailer was filled with Create a Story scenes designed to make you think that's what Universe Mode was like

You should be able to "tag" create a story segments in such a way that they could be used automatically in Universe Mode. You could structure dialogue to work the way created angles work in TEW 2013 where the references and pronouns are all dynamic and the segments are put into categories.

Imagine the lunacy of seeing the CPU put together a show in Universe mode with angles/segments totally drawn from an online Create-A-Story pool where users have been uploading totally original segments. It would be fantastic.

I know I shouldn't be doing this to myself but im actually hyped for this. Im not sure if it's because I was just a huge Stone Cold fan or what but im just hyped. Career mode seems pretty awesome. Im also a universe noob so it's basically new to me, but judging by what others have said the previous iterations are bad?

There seem to be status effects that carry over from show to show in Universe mode now. Also, some character specific heel/face sliders change depending on what they do in matches.

Als, you can change the location. Lol


Lots of new info out there. Haven't had much time to go through it all.

It'll be interesting to see how that personality stuff works. I find I prefer the face/heel stuff to be more player choice than play determinant, just so you don't suddenly find yourself a face due to winning a few matches in a row without stealing finishers or whatever.

Personality sliders appear to change for wrestlers from show to show as well as crowd reaction and relationships.

Im assuming thats good? Im new to universe, and haven't watched the video. Let me know your thoughts compared to say last years. My buddy seems extremely hyped for universe after this video but hes at work and can't really respond to much to my texts right now. Thanks man.
