What they do in the Elimination Chamber match is replace the commentators with the chamber cage, and even then the game used to run significantly worse in EC matches than normally. They could probably get 4vs4 matches with a ref running without too many performance issues, basically, but I'm guessing a lot of their engine is hardcoded around the current limit.

They should absolutely be able to get 8 men in the ring at once in Rumble matches, but maybe they don't want to because it'd be too crowded.

They could do it as long as their engine isn't limiting them. Royal Rumble on DC was enjoyable only because of the amount of people in the ring.

Some poor move decisions still by the looks of things in this EC video. Unless I missed something, I don't think Cena has ever done a half nelson throw into a neckbreaker.

Cena did a half-nelson throw into a neckbreaker every single match for for two months when he came back in 2013 and then stopped.

Woah hey now @ bolded

And yeah, seeing Cena do that move is fucking hilarious (I saw it in a previous vid)

Seriously? If you've got a link to a vid or something, I'm happy to be corrected. It must be hard enough getting a full moveset together for Cena.

I actually don't want them to put too many people in the ring. At 6 the gameplay looks a mess. I think they need to get wrestler interaction, rest spots, fatigue sorted out so that a lot of people in the ring doesn't look like a complete cluster fuck.

I just want to be able to do moves onto the ring bell. That shit was my jam in No Mercy, especially in ladder matches

I'm pretty sure that you kind of can do moves on the bell and it does impact like other weapons, but it's not as fun. I also want everyone to have some kind of low blow variation and a bell to ring everytime they're used!

Here it is from that time when Damien Sandow was buried forever.
Click to expand...

Ah, not bad. It's from one of those times where Cena feels like he has to try, like that match with punk on Raw where they were both pulling out all sorts of great shit. I'm happy he has it, then.

Yeah, I just canceled my PreOrder for the Digital Deluxe... it's a shame, I was pretty hyped on some of the videos they were showing off. It would probably still be a lot of fun to have some beers and play with friends... but there are just too many unknowns in regards to the quality of the game. Sadly, it looks like the physics for items it still broken.

Does anyone know if it supports more than 2 players locally? I couldn't find that information anywhere.

Oh well.. maybe next year... or the one after that... or who knows!

4 player locally on PS4. maybe more on XB1 as it can support more controllers I believe, but not confirmed either way.

They are very good beer games, which is why I end up picking them up cheap down the line. It is the best way to get these games.

It wouldn't even be an issue if his AI was actually tailor-made for him so he wrestled a match like John Cena. As far as I know, the only thing he has specifically is he won't ever pin anyone after the Five Knuckle Shuffle and goes for the AA 100% of the time instead. I think The Rock always does a finisher before pinning too.

I've not played 2k14 in a long time, but I'm sure that most guys never pinned after a signature (unless it had a pinning animation after) and went for the finish instead. I know I pulled a lot of matches back from the brink by reversing that.

It's a shame they don't have AI sliders for individual guys like in Fire Pro.

Maybe I've just screwed up my overall AI settings then. Could also have something to do with the body parts damaged by the signature move compared to the finisher. It's not like I've written a research paper on the phenomenon.

Ha, maybe a research paper is the only way we could get things to change. Just title it "Yukes pls".

There's a trophy for "reaching Smackdown" in myCareer mode. Hopefully that doesn't mean that the brand split is in effect there too.

It probably is, at least to the extent that you are on Smackdown before you get on Raw, and when you get on Raw you no longer are on Smackdown. Not 100% realistic, but honestly, nothing about that mode is.

A slightly better way of doing it would be to have you do matches on Superstars and Main Event before moving up to the Raw/Smackdown tier, but they're probably working off WWE's instructions here.

I mean, I certainly didn't want him to be banned.. but I can't disagree with the decision. I think it's Message Boarding 101 that when someone is constantly argumentative in threads, no matter what, that it makes members less likely to want to post in the thread. I've seen so many game-related things that I would like to post about but didn't because I just didn't want to hear whatever from Bobo.

Anyway, I'm keeping my preorder. I do agree that a lot of the changes and subtractions really do suck.. but I guess I could classify myself as a "collector" of these games..? I do the same thing with VS Fighting games as well.

I really do like the looks of the Superstar Studio, though.. so that's cool. Shame that it takes up the very limited amount of CAW slots, though. =\ What console is everyone (who is still) buying on? PS4 here. :)

He does that. What he doesn't do anymore though is that shitty looking sitdown hiptoss that he stopped doing after Kennedy "injured" him while doing it. But we all know Cena shouldn't have done that ridiculous move anyway considering he was born with T-Rex limbs.

1: Fucking Kennedy
2: That hiptoss always suuuucked. Cena's moveset is ridiculous. How he's done that top rope legdrop for almost a decade, I have no idea

WWE 2k14 had a glitch where if you did one of Kevin Nash (nWo)'s taunts near the ropes in the EC match, you'd fall out of the cage.

2k15 is fine.

Next Gen Sting vs. Taker

Didn't see a 'Match Creator' button in that Sting/Undertaker 1on1 match for next gen.

I guess we can say goodbye to the following match modifiers and match types we could create from Match Creator:

2 Out Of 3 Falls Match
First Blood Match
Non-Over-The-Top-Rope Battle Royal

Eh, this is based off a very small population before the game is even released. Wait for the general population (and NewLegacyInc) to get their hands on it to break it.
