WWE 2K17

Pretty happy with how my Okada CAW is turning out. Just his attire to finish now and some finishing touches to his moveset.

That Okada looks great. Are you uploading him to CC?

Most likely once I've finished his attire and moves, yes. Trying to replicate his trunks with the limited logos in the game is frustrating, because like fuck am I spending all day in Photoshop. I plan to do a few NJ guys, because other than a really great Tanahashi, the quality on CC is terrible for them.

Attire progress:

Hall of Fame showcase has been added.

Appears that Twitter took away embedding capability but...in the HOF Showcase, Lawler completely flubs a line, starts over, and they left the whole damn thing in.

Bwahahahahahahahahahaha.

[Baddar]

Oh my!

That "Well, I've never seen him do that before!" from Michael Cole made it even better.

Fucking hell that's incredible.

So, I just recently bought the game and I'm using a steam controller. The. I tolled works just fine in the menus and stuff but when I start a match, it pops up up the pause menu and if I unpause it, it pops back up. Anyone have this issue or know how I can fix it?

I asked the same, but didn't get an answer really. After playing it a bit, I'd say it's pretty solid. It sucks that you still can't have vacant championships when you start it up, but it seems pretty fun. I haven't made it to a PPV yet, but even guys that aren't in storylines seem to be involved. For instance, I had Samoa Joe and Brock Lesnar meet up randomly on RAW, despite them not being in rivalries at all, and they've been involved with each other for the two shows after as well. I never really got into Universe prior to this though, so it's hard to say really.

You can have vacated championships, I'm playing on PC and all I had to do was pick it for a show, give it to someone, then go into said show and press square to vacate.

2K18 announced and its main mode features the Undertaker and the streak. He's on the cover too.

The rest of the news about the game had better be more interesting than this. I like 2k17, but unless they do a major overhaul on Universe, or make career mode less of the same thing over and over again, there's no reason for me to buy 2k18, aside from the fact that I love wrestling. But there's a new Fire Pro game coming for PS4 this year too, so really, I'm probably okay to skip 2k's.

This is also indicative of the WWE's major problem of not being able to rest the company on the shoulders of current day stars. Feeling the need to continually push retired or part-time workers over their full-time guys is not a good way to build up those full-time guys to be able to draw and pop crowds when they get old and broken down. If they're concerned that current stars aren't over enough to sell the game, the problem is more that they aren't doing enough to really create new stars. We can talk about AJ Styles and Kevin Owens all day and claim that WWE is making an effort to change, but whenever one of those geriatric crowd favorites or sideshow attraction wants to come back around, the Styles' and Owens' are the ones who suffer for it long-term, because the WWE Universe won't buy them as legitimate stars, as much as they should if the company wants to avoid losing ground in the future.

Well, there's Roman Reigns.

Ooooh! Good choice, that. Have you got a link for this or anything? Can't seem to find it anywhere, but I am a bit useless.

[Avenged Probably]

Actually it might be a false alarm, seems like the official twitter shared a fan made trailer :/

My bad.

[BuddyAwesome]

I was going to say it wasn't that long ago that they had a mode centered around the steak. I wouldn't mind it again so long as they included every Taker Mania match... So I can play as Giant Gonzalez and Nathan Jones. 

[Mx. Canadian Destroyer]

I much preferred it when the Showcase mode has different guys you played as. The one with Stone Cold was fine but it was a bit repetitive to keep playing as Austin.

[BuddyAwesome]

That's why I like the HOF showcase this year. Was fun to play a match as everyone. And I really enjoyed the Godfather/Shango match.

I wish WWE 2K18 would implement a road to wrestle mania mode where there was a new one released every week. That would be fun. Or a story mode like here comes the pain.
