WWE Games Thread 71: Time to play the game!

["Gentleman" AJ Powell]

Authority Objective: Lose your Championship in a 5* match to the Rock.



So much for my match against Luke Harper!

[thetower52]

It reset mine again......
It themes ECW in to main event and I can't make it a major show again with out deleting it and remaking it which deletes all the ppvs I just fixed last night.
Jesus f***ing Christ

[FinalGwen]

I'm hoping they'll fix this soon, but at the same time I'm worried about the next update because at least this one hasn't deleted all of my CAWs and belts (again), whereas there's no such guarantee for the next one... Which is really something I shouldn't have to worry about.

Just finished my 38th out of 48 CAWs planned for my Universe. Sticking with basic movesets with minor alterations (front grapples, taunts, dives, sigs, finishers) for now because it'd be way too tedious otherwise. Definitely hope I won't have to do them again.

[Flash Burton]

I'm glad I hadn't bothered with Universe yet, all I've read is bad things. Same thing happened last year & it's happening again, I play through the showcases, play a bit of My Career, move onto another game & then just put the game in to download the DLC play an hour or two & go back to the other game. In this case, Fallout 4

Shame, I was enjoying this years' but Universe sounds borked to hell, more so than last year

[The Kevstaaa]

My Universe is going pretty great. I have a WWE, WCW and ECW set up. Here are some highlights from my latest PPV.

WCW Bash at the Beach, Week 3, July, Pensacola, Florida


WCW World Tag Team Championship: The Vaudevillains (c) def. Enzo Amore and Colin Cassady when English nailed Enzo with a swanton bomb.


Divas Championship: Paige (c) def. Charlotte with the Ram-Paige. After the match, Trish Stratus made her WCW debut and complimented Paige for being a fighting champion, but says she wants the next shot.


No Holds Barred: Bray Wyatt def. Baron Corbin. The war between the Wyatt Family and the Bikers seemed over but Baron wanted more. With his mentor the Undertaker away, Baron continues to look like a lost soul. Bray won after Sister Abigail onto a table.


WCW Hardcore Championship: Christian (c) def. DDP, Batista and Randy Orton. This was a war with tons of weapons. Christian has given up regular ring gear, choosing to adopt the hardcore lifestyle. A reverse DDT onto a chair on DDP scored him the win.


WCW United States Championship: John Cena def. Neville and D-Lo Brown (c). Cena made good on his promise to win the gold, pinning Brown after an AA.


Mr. Perfect def. Bret Hart. Throughout his career, Mr. Perfect had never been able to best Bret Hart, but his son did back at the Great American Bash to become WCW Champion. Perfect finally got the monkey off of his back after two Perfectplexes.


WCW World Championship: Curtis Axel (c) def. Daniel Bryan. Bryan came close on several occasions but a well-timed distraction from Paul Heyman allowed Axel to retain. He used his dad’s Perfectplex.

OK, it was bad enough making us recreate that bullshit last year, now we have to carry that cardioless jerk to a 5* match too?

["Gentleman" AJ Powell]

So, after not jobbing to The Rock, I managed to make it to the Rumble to reach 365 days as the IC title, facing Finn Balor for the belt and narrowly getting the win...

Then I subsequently relinquished it the next night to go after the WWE title.

ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP BABY!

[DJ Maniak]

Wow, now that I'm hearing about all these glitches with the downloads and updates, maybe I'm ok with being on Last Gen.

[Deleted]

I've never touched showcase, universe or any other modes like that. Glad I've stuck to exhibition so far. Hopefully by WWE 2k17 all the current issues are ironed out. Speaking of since we are close to 9 months away from the new game, I think that roster is going to be awesome with all the new additional characters like AJ Styles, Bullet Club (Karl Anderson, Doc Gallows*meh*), Shinsuke Nakamura, Austin Aires, Johnny Gargano, Tommaso Ciampa, Apollo Crews, Rich Swann, Chad Gable, Braun Strowman it will continue to be the largest roster ever.

Hopefully this years future stars pack will be adam cole, biff busick, kazuchika okada and the young bucks. 2k18 could add Ach, Kyle Orielly, cheeseburger, Jay Lethal, Zack Sabre Jr, The Briscoes, Willie Mack, AR Fox, Chuck Taylor and Freight Train.

What is the roster cut off date for wwe 2k17?

[G✇JI☈A]

I hope my Universe is unaffected.

I downloaded the pack as it became available, and I entered universe to assign wrestlers to shows and my universe was still intact. I have not played a match since then though cause I did not have time to test the new guys out.

[EoE: Workin On My Night Cheese]

I don't play with Universe, so I don't think it'd affect me much, if at all.

Judging on how the process was last year, it'll be this two to three month window between the Rumble and WrestleMania where the team will determine who'll be going on the on-disc roster and start going around with the scanning machine to try and get the creation happening. For DLC, this could go as late as May, judging by how Samoa Joe was put in pretty much as soon as he showed up in NXT.

In terms of your suggestions, I'd say that Styles, Aries, Crews, Gable (and Jordan) and Strowman are your best chances of getting on the on-disc roster, with Nakamura, Anderson and Gallows being your top DLC candidates. Swann's still not established enough in NXT yet, while Gargano and Ciampa's status could change at any moment depending on if (when?) they actually sign a WWE contract. In addition to those, you'd think that they'd FINALLY get the damn NXT Horsewomen in, along with Asuka, Carmella, Jax, Bliss, Brooke, Dawson and Wilder. I think the cut-off level would be the kind of lower-card level of a Dillinger/Rawley/Samson/Dempsey/Riley.

My Universe has been slightly effected by the DLC pack: Every time I exit the game it resets my shows to having NXT and Main Event back and removes my custom arenas for Raw and SD, changes my titles back to the default ones - everything else remains the same which doesn't worry me too much.

Your sig is amazing.

So another 3 years at the minimum of 2K making the games. Pretty good news I'd say. 

Really enjoying Samoan Jose. He's now my fav next to Owens. Does Joses theme song play louder than anyone elses?

What DLC is left for 2K16? Also how long will they continue to patch/support this current release for? I would hope they never leave a game 'broke' or riddled with bugs.

I posted a picture earlier of a match labelled as for the NXT Women's Championship between Tyler Breeze and Collin Cassidy
