In mycareer 4-5 fights after tutorial and I'm just getting owned by reversals.
1st: I have a long tough fight, then the AI just goes reversal crazy. If I'm lucky I get one offensive move/hit in, then it's another reversal. I only survive because I'm really good at hitting the tiny sliver of green to kick out.
2nd: The match starts out the way the 1st does, from the bell I just get reversed. Punch, light grapple, etc..
I know I'm lower skill guy, but it's starting to kill the fun knowing the AI is OP with reversals.
Haha, so right after posting this I crush Kevin Owens
They are pretty bad if you ask me. Poor and inconsistent lighting, low-res entrance ramp and mat around the ring, many low-res wrestlers that look more cartoon than photo realistic. Haven't seen a player model that I would compare graphically to NBA 2k, and that has 10 models running around a more impressively lit court. But thats my opinion. And theres more to the game than graphics.
I've been thinking about picking this up, can you guys give me some overall impressions of the online play? Does it work/hows the latency/what options are there? That type of stuff.
Mixed for me so far. Played 4 games ageist randoms. Two were laggy to the point that I could see it messing with counter timing. Playable but not enjoyable. Two ran perfectly smooth. Played 6 games against a friend who lives a few towns over. All 6 matches ran perfectly smooth. Felt as if he was next to me on the couch. Half of them DC'd during the match though.
Overall I'd say this is the best online wresting gsme I've played in terms of lag. Hoping with some time they can iron out what causes the DC's. Had a absolute blast with my friend.
Still loving this game, best wrestling game I've played, can't say enough about the pacing and game play. Have had some really good matches, have played many random matches just to experience how the matches flow with different opponents.
There are a few things that needs to be fixed but doesn't take away from me having fun so far. Submission needs to be tuned (hate it) but I'll deal with it. Having limited reversals is such a big deal with helping this game but if I have limited reversals I want them to work when I press the button. Maybe it's just me though cause it seems like sometime I press in time but don't get the reversal.
Crowd and Commentary are what really needs to be upgraded hoping they have some things in the works for making them better. I still haven't tried the Universe Mode yet and hoping that stables matter in that mode.
All in all to think where Yukes had this series for so many years basically the same and to think what 2k has done in the few years they have had it Yukes should be ashamed.
I really hope the developers for WWE 2k start being apart of the community like the NBA guys have, can only make things better.
First match is a 3 v. 3 six man tag... Myself, Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose against DX attires WM 14 and 2001 Kane.
Very solid 20 minute match which sees me pin HHH with a move that shouldn't be my finisher, so back to the edit moveset!!! Haha great match I loved it.
Oh man, this game brings back memories of playing WCW vs NWO, Revenge, and all the old school N64 wrestling games.
I haven't played a wrestling game in about 10 years and it took a while to get used to, but now that I've gotten the hangs up reversals, submissions, and momentum control, I've been having great matches.
I don't remember a game that has gotten me out of my seat thinking it's a 3 count then pulling out a high pitched "WHAT??" after they kick out.
Reversals are amazing. They make the match very well paced and it doesn't allow you to reverse every move possible. I've won matches strategizing on when to use my reversals so that the CPU doesn't have any left to counter my moves.
It just took me 3 Sister Abigail's to beat Neville. This is just getting stupid now.
It's getting to the point where its not fun anymore. The in ring action is great, but I shouldn't have to use 3 finishers to win a match. This is a huge issue and I hope 2K plans to fix it.

I've never seen Finn Balor wrestle in real life before. That being said, it was cool as hell to see his entrance with full makeup during our title fight for the first time in career mode. Before that, he just came out normally. That's one of the sickest entrances that I've ever seen.
Is your opponent in the red at all when hitting your finisher? I've finished plenty of people with one finisher but I have tweaked the finisher strength slider. With it all the way up though, I don't see how they are able to kick out. Glitch maybe?? I'll have to go against neville when I get home.
