I said "nah, I'm here for fun, f*** it" and spent 5 bucks getting the Accelerator Pack and I'm not regretting it one bit. I'm having a lot more fun having everything unlocked. Now I'm going through and changing alignments and ratings. Yeah I blew a ton of time in my career in 2k16 and the accelerator helped but it became a slog. When I saw it was on sale here I figured it was worth it.

Sometimes Universe Mode is kind, as the men's Royal Rumble Match opens with the former Universal Champion Seth Rollins at number one, followed by SmackDown's new ace, Kenny Omega.

Had something similar happen for me in the most recent Rumble I did. Number one was Brock who wasn't doing anything, number two was a giant CAW of mine who had been aimless for a bit. Was a good excuse to lay the groundwork for them to throw down at Mania.

I unlocked Becky's entrance theme so that's awesome, even if I rarely watch entrances.
Still not a fan of the pin or submission minigames, though I'm trying the button mashing submission minigame to see if it's any better. It is annoying though to decimate someone, they get a lucky move, pin me and the space is so small that I lose the match. Also had a match against I think it was Sin Cara and he just would not stay down. I had several body parts red, had nailed a couple finishers and the guy was still kicking out. I got him in the end though.
Also, a bunch of my options and selections were randomly undone so that was annoying. Otherwise I'm having fun so far. I'm liking this career mode much more than 2k16 from the little bit I've played it.

Anyone have any team name ideas for King Booker and Aiden English? I feel like this should be an easy team to name, but I'm drawing blanks for some reason.

Decided to try out a Royal Rumble match to see who'll become the IWGP US Champion. Omega was doing very well in there but he was taken out by a combination of Bryan 2013 and Surfer Sting. In the end the winner was The Miz.
I love how just one 30 man Rumble match had a great story in a videogame. Had I not known about the wrestlers and their history it would be different but hey it helps lol.

Like recently, I had Tommaso Ciampa defend the NXT Title against WALTER, and he ended up losing the belt. I might do a big multi-man angle for the belt with WALTER defending against Ciampa, Matt Riddle, and Gargano.

See that stuff is just great because you can tell a story and let it translate to many different forms of entertainment in one game. You can let them fight it out on their own and depending on how the matches go you can say "ok, he was dominating him and he won so let's do a double turn" and work off of that. It's smart. That's what I loved about old wrestling games. Me and my brother just picked our guys and had fun creating our own personal stories just by playing tornado tags and Rumbles.

There are some genuinely funny moments in the career mode but I think the funniest was the line that went something like "remember when Triple H and DX invaded WCW? People still talk about that today".

Guess at least the DLC's adding a few more, though really the reason's probably mostly because the callup of the Riott Squad and Absolution pretty much devastated NXT's women's line up around the time the roster would've been coming together. Doesn't explain Nikki though.

Doesn't explain Nikki though. Cass, Nikki, Ciampa, and Kendrick were last minute cuts. So with Cass, someone over at SmackTalks said he had some save issues, and one day a new Cass model showed up, so I assume he has a model buried somewhere on disc. Ciampa and Cross have textures hidden in the game date, and Kendrick's jacket is still available under the WWE tab, with all of his logos and his name emblazoned on the back.

Mostly because Belair and the 3 DLC women were all in the first MYC, all debuted on TV around the same time, and have all had about the same amount of screen time. You would think that it would be an all-or-nothing situation; either they all make it on-disc, or they're all DLC.

I always put Beth Phoenix, Alundra Blayze, Ivory and Jacqueline in NXT in my Universe to help with the lack of depth to go with the CAWs I download. Then again, I always use a mix of current and past superstars and I know not everyone likes doing that in their Universe (Vader vs. Aleister Black for the NXT Championship just main evented my last Takeover)
