Boring wrestler with bland repetitive promos. Sometimes though, he gets really cringe on the mic (which probably falls on the writers.)

For any Canadians out there, does Mattel Creations use Canada Post? I really want to use Flex Delivery, I don’t trust it on my doorstep

Man do I ever hope that we get all the simulation options as a choice again and lose the combo system and thus get the grappling/striking/moveset layouts/controls up to par for 2K23.
I bet that doesn't happen though and the series continues to be some half assed Simulation with Arcade traits that absolutely ruin that. All the assets are still there and that's what makes it so frustrating. I can't take another game of Dana Brooke performing Instant Recovery or Andre climbing to the top, or everyone doing a Judo throw reversal or everyone doing breakneck speed elbows to the face followed by a claw to the abdomen and a toe kick that looks like it's from a PS2 game just to perform a Spinebuster.... or an old cliche Video Game Collar and Elbow tie up before every grapple.
There's no problem with giving people the CHOICE to make the game really simple and pick up and play but to kill off the Simulation aspects cripples the game. I want to have unique wrestling matches where the wrestlers wrestle how they should, not this cookie cutter strike heavy Arkham Asylum feeling stuff.

i'm guessing the next crowd fund will be a giant Raw is War entrance stage?? that would be cool I hope they do that and it's the RAW is WAR set from 2000 and not the 97 or 98/99 versions

So I’m a little concerned about Kane’s glossy boots, some pics have it and some don’t? Anyone have any clarity on this? Really hoping they get that right this time. The hair color and boot paint is more accurate in some of the pictures, perhaps the dull boots and lighter hair are earlier protos or something.

WOW!
I NEED this!
Only other UE I really REALLY want to see is 2000/2001 Singlet Kane now. The Inverted 1 Sleeve is my second favorite though and it's nice to see the details they got right this time! Every other Mattel in this attire were botched so bad (no mesh flames, too skinny)

I just don't objectively see any positive in that. How can it be a good thing that Retro Triple H, Retro Shawn Michaels, Goddess Alexa Bliss, Godfather etc. are on disc but are only intended to be used/encountered in one mode that isn't even Exhibition or Universe? Way I see it, I can download better versions of anyone that is exclusive to that mode, case in point, check out the 97 Shawn and Godfather from the creation suite. Most of them also already have move sets, entrances, and renders already set. Just my opinion, notoriously though, the creators are usually better at giving us better models to use. That uses CAW Slots which should be used for something else that isn't on disc. Those downloads you are talking about specifically ARE the actual In-game models that WhatsTheStatus modded into the game on PC and uploaded to Community Creations (he didn't take the models from elsewhere, just modded them to be playable). I don't think they were going to allow that in the beginning but they seen the out roar over it so they let WhatsTheStatus to do it. They still should be straight up available for everyone without wasting CAW slots though.

So I caved last night and purchased the nWo Deluxe Edition for the XSX. Worth EVERY cent, I'd like to start with that. Tremendous work on the behalf of 2k and everyone involved in making this game. I only got an hour or so of gameplay in last night and to be honest, I haven't even explored outside of the beginning tutorial and MyFaction yet. I absolutely LOVE where they are going with this concept, I've been a fan of the WWE Supercard mobile game and since it's release I have always been saying the need to find a way to work aspects of that mobile game onto the consoles and this is an amazing step in that direction, IMO. Another thing, I love the combo system to perform certain moves, makes the gameplay feel much more smooth, the first 2-weeks of the MyFaction towers, every match I played had this unique authenticity to each match, hard to explain unless you actually try it, but for the first time in a while, I'm actually really enjoying a wrestling game. This is an amazing direction 2k has taken this game and I really hope this is the blueprint used for future WWE games. I'll post a little more of a review once I explore the game more, but I had to come on here this morning and write this for ANYONE on the fence about buying this game or giving the WWE 2K series another try. Thank you WWE and 2K, and I hope those of you who haven't tried the game yet enjoy what they've given us this year. After that abomination of a game called WWE 2K20, the listened to the fans and they delivered, IMO it does it different and it's a good thing and it's about time. I'm very curious to see what AEW and Yukes gives us... Just wanted to give a further update. Absolutely loving this game, hands down best WWE game in a real long time. Played a full 50-week MyGM yesterday, time flys in that mode if you're not careful. I love you can easily import your downloaded wrestlers into the mode, love the ease of adding real life pictures to the downloaded wrestlers. Definitely need more title options and tag team options, but if this is what they'll continue to build the MyGM mode off of, I'm all in. Love what they’ve done with the freedom to change almost anything about the characters in the game and the ones you can download. I haven't run into any crashing with the downloaded wrestlers, I do see that reported here and on other forums. One of my pet peeves is anyone complaining about the roster because you can literally have anyone you want via the creation suite. I also am a fan of certain wrestlers being exclusive to MyFaction, I just like the idea, its a fresh new direction and I know some are on the fence about it or just downright hate it, I'm digging that though. Really great job by everyone involved though at the end of the day, I haven't had this much fun with a WWE game since the No Mercy-HCTP era, I really suggest this game to any fan of Pro Wrestling, not just the WWE brand. I just don't objectively see any positive in that. How can it be a good thing that Retro Triple H, Retro Shawn Michaels, Goddess Alexa Bliss, Godfather etc. are on disc but are only intended to be used/encountered in one mode that isn't even Exhibition or Universe?

I usually am pretty active on this board when the game is coming out/new but I haven't this time around because I think overall this game sucks.
I like a few new things like the new assets (moves/models/arenas/championships), the improvements to Highlight Reel (FOV), and some of the new animations like the selling after getting a Pinfall. But the bad greatly outshines the good.
- The gameplay is way too easy with unlimited reversals and no option to change it back
- The combo system is really gimmicky and doesn't fit most
- Grapple/Grab animations are back so you can't smoothly perform a non-Special move anymore
- The selling has been reduced way too far
- The abilites/skills have been forced into the Classes so you can't give characters super unique characteristics anymore
- CAW Mode got a downgrade because you are forced to choose a Body template and can't make any further adjustments
- You also can't freely choose your weight which sometimes causes characters to jump up weight classes because the game has a flawed/poor estimate on how much they should weigh
- The classes and weight classes have poor nonsensical Attribute Maxes
- The Cat and Mouse Submission mini game is gone so you can no longer get late match escapes
- Diving moves/springboards can be completely dodged with ease by simply running away full speed at the drop of a dime
- Chain Wrestling and Rest Holds are gone
- Comeback is a Payback which sucks
- The Payback system got a downgrade overall (though I understand it had to change to accommodate the other things they switched around).
- The Accelerator/Supercharger doesn't actually unlock everything
- Certain characters are locked into certain modes (Alexa '20, HBK '97, Rock '01, HHH '01, etc.)
- Despite how much people asked, they still didn't give us the 2K19 controls (which I understand it has to change to accommodate the new features but the new features aren't any good anyway and mess up the organization of movesets)

I’ll point this out because it was missed here but a day after Jinks said that the game had the button mashing system, one of the developers on Twitter said “who says that’s the only system? ” so there IS an alternate pin system but we don’t know what it is (HOPEFULLY 2K19 style so you can get kick-outs even with high damage and hopefully if selected the A.I is also bound to it so they too can kick-out with high damage)

In this interview, Lynell said that they removed the Hotspot Pin System and replaced it with a Button Mashing Mini-Game which prevents the chance at having epic styled matches with Kickouts with high damage. That's one of, if not the worst thing I've heard one of the developers ever say. HUGE bummer. One of the very best elements of the game.... gone.
He also confirmed Reversal Stocks are gone....

Here's a roster prediction, all the released wrestlers who I think will be in the game: Alexander Wolfe Braun Strowman Buddy Murphy Lana Killian Dain Fandango Tyler Breeze Ariya Daivari Bray Wyatt Ric Flair Bronson Reed Leon Ruff Keith Lee Mia Yim Nia Jax Eva Marie Karrion Kross Scarlett B-Fab Gran Metalik Lince Dorado Frankie Monet Ember Moon Jessie Kamea Oney Lorcan John Morrison Tegan Nox Drake Maverick Shane Thorne Jaxson Ryker Isaiah Swerve Scott Ashanti Adonis Top Dolla Danny Burch
I can't remember the exact source but I remember hearing B-Fab say she wasn't ever scanned to be in the game so I have a feeling it might only be Swerve (the crowd shirt is his solo Pre-Hit-Row design too)

lol, that cover. Hilarious if it's real, all three Outsiders and then Hogan randomly added. I noticed they have been doing that a lot with that image of the 3 from 2002 with Hogan shopped in. Makes me laugh every time.

GAME’s Pre Order slips that show off the front AND back art. More info on the back (plus some of the stuff already mentioned by that source on Twitter that originally leaked the cover) Also it will be interesting to see if Liger is in since there’s a Starrcade ‘96 Pack

Possible cover leak. Don't think I've ever seen these images of Rey before so it seems pretty legit. It also seems we are getting an official Cover reveal this coming week as well from 2K so the timing lines up.

The games from WWE 2K16 - WWE 2K19 are the best WWE games to date. The matches are FUN! The reversal caps makes gameplay more strategic and helps with pacing, the Pin/Sub mini-games are actual games that you can succeed at even with heavy damage meaning matches can end up like Michaels/Taker or a Gargano NXT Takeover bout. There's more moves than ever, the Creation Suite is at it's best, Community Creations is very useful, the A.I is pretty aggressive and usually smart and there's Personality traits the A.I follows. 2K19 specifically is a masterpiece and even if you like unlimited reversals, no weight detection and button mashing Submissions you have the options to switch to those. People get way into the branding of the games, worrying about the title of the game or the name of the Publisher; those things don't really matter (unless the publisher isn't going to put money in the production but obviously 2K does, the developer is more important as we seen with 2K20 which didn't have Yukes).
A lot of people mention No Mercy and Here Comes The Pain as the greatest but I honestly think a lot people hype those games up because that's the last time they were really REALLY into Wrestling and Here Comes The Pain represents that last little breath of the Attitude Era/Monday Night Wars era with the WCW guys being in their first game. Fast forward to SvR 09 and there's no Austin, Rock, Hogan, Steiner, Lesnar, RVD, Booker T and lapsed fans will FOREVER do the "It used to be so much better when I was a kid" spiel even if the actual mechanics of the games eventually got better around SvR2011 or WWE 12 and kept going (excluding 2K15 and 2K20).
(HCTP and No Mercy are/were great though, they just don't really hold a candle to more recent games that's all. Monumental for their time.)
