If/when this game comes out for PC, I'll consider it then. I've looked but never found a release date, anyone know a PC release date?

I've heard some suggestion of late this year but nothing concrete.

Gotcha. That's about all I saw too. I hope they don't do what they did with last year's NBA 2K, where they basically neutered all the advantages of a mouse. Having to use the arrow keys to navigate a clear mouse layout was incredibly annoying.

Got it on ps4 about a week ago. Holy hell does being on nxt in my career mode suck. Taking 3-4 finishers to just beat fandango is ridiculous. Finally after three takeovers facing the champ KO i actually got a title match and after struggling for 30 minutes trying to avoid being hit with a pump up powerbomb i finally hit a finisher and won the title to move onto the main roster.

I beat the undertaker day one. Destroyed Fandango in like 3 minutes. Beat US Champ John Cena with little effort and formed a team with Seth Rollins.... I assume it will get more difficult the further i get in the rankings but holy hell the difference between nxt and the main roster is insane...

Its shit...

Well. Called that one.

I just downloaded 2K15 cos it was proper cheap. Am I right in saying that there is no custom entrances? Or am I just slow in the head?

 

[TheOneBigWill]

???????????

You had me confused at the 5th "?."

What are you curious about?

 

[Uncle Sam]

Career mode sounds vaguely fun. Do you have to play as a CAW? Could I download a CAW and use that one, say?

 

[TheOneBigWill]

So I completely reset my Universe mode. I just got completely annoyed with how things started and nothing seemed to stay right.

I have 3 feuds per main shows, (Raw, NXT, SD) and of those - only 2 feuds actually remained on that month's ppv.

Reigns/Rollins somehow built to Rollins/Orton in the ME of the ppv. Cena/ADR built to Cena/Miz on ppv. (Miz, mind you, I never even used on any show.) Owens/Ziggler built to neither even being ON the ppv. So yeah, I just got annoyed.

I reset and took time to build in proper rosters, and wrestlers appearing on what shows. I made sure to edit the calendar and put in NXT TakeOver ppv's every 2 months. (I'm sure that will fuck with their feuds somehow) I am excited to have full rosters on all brands though.

I also reset Champions to whom I predicted will be Champs following Mania 32.

Roman Reigns - WWE Champion; (Rollins is not on any show as he's "injured.") first feud for Extreme Rules is Big Show. (I know, I know)
Kevin Owens - IC Champion; first feud following Mania is Zayn. (Zayn is still NXT, but I put him on SD as well for now so the feud can happen.)
ADR - US Champion; feuding with Cesaro.
Dudley Boys - Tag Team Champions; feuding with New Day.
Charlotte - Diva's Champion; feuding with Sasha Banks.

Fin Balor - NXT Champion; feuding with Hideo Itami.
Bayley - NXT Women's Champion; feuding with Dana Brooke.
Vaudevillains - NXT Tag Champs; feuding with X-Pac & Billy Gunn. (this is building toward Roaddog returning upset at Gunn/Pac, and maybe factoring in teams like Hype Bros, Amore/Cassidy, Dash & Dawson.

I'm really missing the storylines option.. and I'm sure I'll ruin quite a few feuds by editing matches so I don't see "Wrestler A v. Wrestler B" 4 straight weeks over and over and over in every single feud.

Yes. The idea is to either create a guy yourself, or use a downloaded guy. Either way, it is fun. It's like older games where you'd begin as a no-name, and build your way up - but ultimately there's only up to go. Not like real life, where you go to the Main Roster then become shit.

That's what I always aspired to become...

What system? And define "custom."

 

[Miko]

360. And entrances that are not your usual ones already belonging to characters in game, but like the custom ones (even though they are usually Kurt Angle, Jeff Hardy, etc)

 

[Mighty NorCal]

What do you mean you can't have nxt guys on ppv????

 

[Slash-LN]

Oh yeah. Nothing like in the past. There may be one or two in there.

The best thing to do would be to do advanced creation and piece together parts from the people on there.

It's pretty shitty how limited it is honestly.

 

[Skairipa Matrix]

I'd like to see more custom entrances next year, and more generic tag and trio entrances. Also still have the ladder issue I mentioned before, except now I also have issues with it sometimes in the ring.

 

[Slash-LN]

Current gen didn't update the commentary for Xavier Woods. So it still just talks about his dance moves and his "current" team with R Truth.

Nice job 2K. Nice job.

 

[TheOneBigWill]

What do you mean you can't have nxt guys on ppv????

Meaning, it won't let me feud NXT guys on main ppvs. I can only have 2 major brands host ppv's. (Raw and Smackdown) So unless I personally edit the card, I can't have NXT guys feuding with the rest of the roster.

Which is how it's always been, mind you, but I hoped for an update to that so I could finally have my Battleground ppv make sense.

You could have NXT be a host show for Battleground instead of Raw or Smackdown. Granted it doesn't help your situation really but it does get NXT people on the card without you manually doing it. Personally I edit all my ppv cards myself anyway.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

Yea man. You can have NXT be a host show of the ppv.

 

[TheOneBigWill]

I actually found a work around.

The affiliation shows option lets you feud guys on multiple shows. So I just need to make my NXT guys eligible for RAW/SD, and vise versa. It'll work out pretty good.

Does anyone else really dislike the lackluster ppv events from April-June? I'm finding it increasingly hard to storyline from this as a starting point. I wish they started at January, or didn't require you to just sim to the point you want to start.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

...........but why not just make NXT one of the host shows of your PPV, as it was designed to work?

 

[TheOneBigWill]

Because then I'd need to cut out SD, or Raw as the odd one out. Not all of my wrestlers are affiliated with every show.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

Do all three brands need 12 PPVs a year?

and in any case, you said you COULDNT do it, when you 100% can indeed do it

 

[Y 2 Jake]

Is it as much of a chore as 2K15?

 

[Mighty NorCal]

Moreso

 

[One Punch Doug Crashin]

Apparently 2k is actually listening to fans this year... make a post in the 2k forums and ask the devs.
