They need to do something with the refs taking a whole damn 10 seconds to run over to count the 123 in these fall count anywhere type of matches. Too much lagging going around.

& Start giving us customization over these wrestlers when it comes to hair, facial hair, etc.

How hard is it to give an option to put face paint on Jeff Hardy. :martin:

Some of the legends need some rework badly. Community creation got a few Sid vicious that put the in game one to shame.

Unless you purposely stretch it out it's too easy to win 1 on 1 ladder matches. They need to implement a stamina system.

I'm tired of the same ol announce table finisher. I wanna be able to hop on them thangs like in hctp.:mjgrin:

Branching storylines is all i ask.

Why was No Mercy able to pull this off and they stop doing it afterwards :beli:
Yep that's my main hope to. I actually enjoyed the story mode they had just felt it should've been much longer. Also would've liked to choose to be heel or face and have different stories for both.

I hate that you have to do a whole bunch of finishers to beat someone

Had to hit 5 frog splashes on Brock Lesner to win :martin:

WWE 2K developer to create secondary wrestling title to compete with itself

Yuke's, longtime developer of pro-wrestling video games, has announced plans to create a second wrestling IP, with aims of providing competition with its own long-stagnant WWE 2K series. Speaking in an interview with Video Games Chronicle, Yuke's Senior Vice President Hiromi Furuta related her concerns that the lack of competition in the pro-wrestling video game market was not healthy for business, or for the future of the genre.

"When we had competitors in the wrestling space, we were determined not to lose and that was a great motivator for creating something great, " said Furuta. "But right now, looking at the market demands, players are expecting something new every time we release a game and we feel like we haven’t achieved what we’ve really wanted to do."

There was no specific information mentioned regarding this new project, so we don't know whether it'll be a secondary WWE game, or an over-the-top fantasy title, or based around a Japanese promotion, or anything. Furuta did note that the 2K series would continue, jesting that "WWE would never allow us to stop making these games!"

It's not going to happen, but the WWE video game series just needs to take a sabbatical. The dev teams have to be burned out creating these identikit releases year after year. The product has also suffered hard, with the games simply not being up to the same standard of fun and longevity of AKI Corporation's N64 releases - such as WWF No Mercy - or even the earlier titles in Yuke's own SmackDown! series.

At least the developer is clearly aware that the series is stagnating, and hopefully, whether through a secondary title or otherwise, will be able to steer the ship into exciting new waters, without increasing the workload put upon its team with these pointlessly insistent annual releases.

Seeing how WWE is forcing to them to create every year, i dont see where they’re gonna get the time to focus on this. If this is a completely independent idea i guess they can take their time.

If this is an actual wrestling company im sure they have their window of completion time too.

even if its another company with a timeframe, they most likely wont be held to a yearly release contract. They might have 2-3 years to make this next game and can do that on the side.. maybe they hire more people idk

Man what competition are they talking about from back in the day???

Wcw, ecw, legends of wrestling, fire pro wrestling, tna.:skip:

Historically WWE has always been better at video games.

Competing with themselves??? Outside of the smackdown series the only games that had positive reviews was raw 2 & day of recokening.

They didn't get lazy cuz of lack of competition. They got lazy cuz they don't care.

WWE been releasing new video games every year since at least '01.

Smackdown 1 & 2 came out the same year & you can see a clear difference between the two. Huge upgrade.

SD JBI compared to SD sym is like night & day.

The developers keep removing stuff & then repackage it up in 2-3 years under a different name. Matter of fact they didn't even wait that long. We had macho Man & Ric flair last time for free , but this time they make you pay:what:

They treat the legends like absolute crap. Just half assed.

Warrior in game model is straight :trash:

01 hhh look like the same in game model they been using since svr 07.

01 angle look old as hell

01 Jericho got a damn mop on his head

02 taker still got eyeliner. Looks like they imported wwe 2k16 taker & threw on a generic tank top with no logo:gucci:

They don't need to focus on a new series when they can't get the one they got down packed. All they need is to give more space to get buck wild on game play & stack up on customization.

The other big problem is 2K is one of the worst developers in the game today. Their only priority is monetize the game as much as possible. You should see how they botched all the old uniforms, player models, player ratings, and playbooks in their NBA series. That removing shyt for a few years so they can advertise it when they bring it back is some of the sleaziest shyt that any developer does though. Arenas, themes, titan from videos, moves, character models, match types. You name it and they do it. It’s the sort of shyt you expect from EA.
