I haven't encountered too many bugs myself, just the ref not counting at times and the promo one in universe mode I know about so I've been avoiding universe mode till it's fixed.

If they fix the bugs and glitches, it's gonna be a really fun game.

Edit: just discovered another bug, male managers randomly get in the ring and attack females which causes an instant dq.

 

[Aeon Mathix]

Are there release dates for the DLC packs? Or do they just randomly release them? I didn't buy any DLC last year so not sure how it works.

 

[Skairipa Matrix]

I can't remember what they did last year, but so far no info on DLC release dates for this year.

My game (Steam version) FINALLY finished downloading... Before Smackdown started. I'll hopefully get a bit of playtime in before bed.

I genuinely....genuinely....struggle to remember the last time I felt such soul crushing disappointment and resentment as when I realized that if you use Hammerstein as your arena template in create an arena, the game thinks you are in a "small"arena and makes it sound like there are 10 people in the crowd.

My god, man.

Now if I want to use Hammerstein as my weekly "third brand " arena, I have to make that brand ECW....because...try this on for fucking size....the sound is the way it SHOULD be on the ONS set. But quiet if you use that same arena as a create an arena template.

2017 and hair still looks like shit.

Just saw this now. This is not likely to be fixed for a LONG time. Getting hair right in video games unfortunately takes an insane amount of time. This isn't a case of 2K being lazy or sucking. It's a time issue.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

Also deep sadness at realizing Baron Corbin didn't have his updated enteance

 

[Skairipa Matrix]

Really waiting on a patch to fix promos in universe mode. I'm ready to start up my universe but I wanna be able to do promos.

Also if any of you on ps4 find a good caw for Candice Lerae, Abbey Laith or The Young Bucks a heads up would be great. All the ones I've found of them don't look good.

 

[Slash-LN]

Ran into another few bugs.

In MyPlayer mode Sami Zayn is in the money in the bank match twice. Also there's a goal to use a move with the ladder and I've been through it three times trying hitting people with the ladder, fighting on the ladder and doing a grapple, doing a power bomb on the ladder and so far none of that has counted as using the ladder. So I'm assuming that's a bug.

In Universe mode Bobby Roode got a minor injury at my ppv and the next night I did a call out promo and the game crashed. I had scheduled him in a match the same week and the game crashed before his match started. So I'm assuming trying to use wrestlers with minor injuries will cause the game to crash.

Also in a falls count anywhere match I've had problems with the referee not coming all the way over to where we are fighting. It's happened in both catering and the parking lot. So he doesn't come over to make the count.

I don't really get the ranking system either. I don't use it to determine who I give title shots to but I have Brian Kendrick beating cruiserweights and he jumped up to the #1 contender slot.

Whereas I have Tozawa beating guys like The Miz and Braun Strowman and I had him win the IC title and he's still hardly on the radar of the title scene.

Hawkins and Ryder are winning tag matches against guys like TM 61 and the Colons and they're both in the top 5 for the World title and are #2 and 3 in the power rankings.

Who you beat doesn't really seem to have any impact on your rankings.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

I feel like on one hand id like them to have a longer dev cycle to fix this shit, but can you imagine waiting two years instead of one to barely improve in some areas but regress in others ? Ehhhhh

 

[Sai the Uganda Guy]

I'm disappointed there still isn't a way to import the team settings from MyWWE to Universe mode; I'd rather not have to create the same teams twice.

Yeah those are the major bugs with the game along with promos. If i remember right you have to do a ladder finisher to advance past that spot in my career by the way. There's a sticky thread on the 2k forums if you wanna check for yourself.

 

[Aeon Mathix]

I had an insane match between Zayn and Angle at Mania for the title. It was on the hardest difficulty and took 7 helluva kicks to put Angle away. Great time though got the blood pumping.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

If I try to do anything in a created arena for ppv , it crashes. Edit card, start match, literally anything.

So that's a bit of a hindrance, obviously .

 

[Mighty NorCal]

First positive ....

HOLY SHIT WCW VADER !! With the crazy samurai head gear entrance and everything

 

[Skairipa Matrix]

Yeah Vader looks great this year. Also CAWs look incredible, downloaded a Kairi Sane that looks like an in game model.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

Are you on PS4? If so, I think I got the same one.

The Vader thing totally shocked me. Super random that they re-did all his shit to make it super badass WCW Vader and not "IT'S TIME!!" Wwf vader

 

[Skairipa Matrix]

Yeah I'm on PS4.

Now that the game has been patched I finally can start my universe tonight, even found caws of The Bucks, Candice LeRae and Abbey Laithe I like.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

The patch seemed to have fixed an issue were the audio would drop out during entrances usually 2 or 3 times per show.

I approve.

 

[Skairipa Matrix]

Some cool little things I discovered recently, if you hit any of the directional buttons your opponent will automatically kick out of pins, besides roll ups. Each directional button is a different kickout too.

Also if you hold down R1 on PS4 when doing a wake up taunt your opponent stands up with their back to you, which is handy for some finishers.

Thought I'd post that for you guys.

Forgive that its in slideshow form, but there are a couple of neat tricks in here I thought you guys might not know.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

Erm

Did anyone notice that with the last patch all the DLC parts for entrances are now in the game in the create and entrance section ? ie Drew Mac and Al Black entrances and music

 

[Mighty NorCal]

I tell lies.

Its....very strangely....

Elias, Ruby Riot, Al Black and Drew Mcyntire.

 

[Aeon Mathix]

Kurt Angle and Cena Nuff DLC was released yesterday for anyone who wanted to know.

Still waiting on my Hardy Boyz

 

[Skairipa Matrix]

Releasing those before the NXT pack, that's a good way to make people wanna pre order next year.
