Stronger Managing System in WWE 2K15

[TazMan1096]

With past WWE games, managers haven't really been used to their best abilities. All the way back, in Smackdown 2 we were able to set wrestlers a manager which would accompany them during their entrance. Now with the limits of technology this is all we saw. In Legends of Wrestlemania we saw Managers being used in a more physical way but WWE ignored this In further games.

One thing I would, however, love to see is the return of assignable mangers. With Managers and Tag Partners and so on ringside becoming a major part within WWE I would love to see WWE games take this on.

We should be able assign up to two managers/wrestlers to accompany wrestlers ringside without having to go in and add them manually. We could also see new features including this as Managers distract the ref halfway through a match or wrestlers interfering a match if it isn't going their way and so on.

We could see two managers accompany the wrestler, especially with the popularity of The Sheild and The Wyatts and could make the matches so much more realistic.

Like I said in my "Offical Custom Renders" post I know that this probably won't ever be noticed or happen and people will have their criticisms, but whatever your opinion post below.

Why cant we just have a manager system like the Legends games?

We used to be able to have 2 managers per person in some of the PS2 games. I think if they added OMG moments that included managers it'd be pretty awesome. Like if you walk over to the ref and press Y, you grab him and distract him while your manager uses a weapon or hits a low blow, or the other way around. Right now, they seem pretty much useless other than for stopping pins.

I think In general the overall manager AI needs a re-think, I found in WWE'13 and WWE2K14 the AI just has no logic, always jumping up on the apron even at points that are not needed. The managers simply make matches a mess!

 

I would like a system where you can call on the managers help but this would be limited so for example maybe you have to have a stored finisher to activate him and he would only be able to support you if for example you are in a submission reaching breaking point or being pined he could the pull the referee out the ring maybe lay him out.... it would almost be like a combination of OMG moment for a manager and a last ditch attempt to stay in the match!

 

I feel this would then actually make some use of having managers, the AI needs to be supported in the match but there is no requirement for random jumping on the apron or even sliding in the ring and removing all turnbuckle pads like I have seen them do in WWE2K14, it just seems they did not spend much time on this feature but it could be a really great addition if you have moments were the manager has a point of being at ringside like my scenario above.

 

I would also like one very clear fix which is the manager to walk side by side with the superstar not randomly wait at the top of the entrance way when the superstar is on his way to the ring.

 

All in all the managers could be used much more effectively as I want them to be in the game for a purpose.

Post your ideas and what you think of it, especially you Delzinski. Maybe the management will see this and like the idea.

I really cant see why Managers always have to climb the apron during every pin. Why cant it be something unpredictable.

[SkipperMan]

totally agree with this, they stepped up the tag team actions a few games back, it' more than time to do this. Maybe a way to get them to to enter the ring or pass in a weapon would be good also.

Only thing I put it down to is hardly any managers in current WWE but thats no excuse when you have Colter, Heyman, Lana & whoever else maybe Nattie but they need to stop jumping up during every pin attempt. You never get that on TV.

 

Maybe limit it to if you do a taunt or sig just before your special but then if you deck the manager off the apron they should go down and stay down. They arent wrestlers who would get straight they are managers so if you knock them down they should stay down for at least 10 seconds.

actually if they brought back the options to press buttons to get the manager to distract the ref, that would be cool, I had a match DDP vs Jeff Jarrett (wcw long hair version) and the big show ran in, pulled a chair out from under the ring, threw it in the ring, got on the apron and distracted the ref long enough for me to hit DDP with the chair, then I covered him and the ref started counting.  I won the match that way lol Now if that could be controlled with say RB and X to have the manager throw in a weapon and RB and B to have the manager Distract the ref, i'd be in heaven!

[mrelectriccity]

yeah be cool if they would actually cause distractions to help ya guy out every now and then they get on the apron. and another thing be able to add manager other than a normal match.another thing is they need to make the ai more competitive like in 4 man or 6 man tlc match i have it on legends mode and someone can be grabbing briefcase stand around and look at him but dont try to get him down like they dont even try to win which is good when u the one grabbing the briefcase but not if ur down or not able to get to them in time to stop them yourself

How is a manager can hit you outside the ring and not get DQ?

[AgeofSandow]

Ability for someone to distract the ref when manager and opponent are close. Manager will punch, clothesline, throw into barricade

Id like to see more manager functions like you come off the ropes and the manager trips you up.

stuff like that too. just more realistic manager. maybe even a manager can distract the ref and you can hit a dirty move if heel.

they need to put some direct low blow in the game.  and make weapons cause a lot more damage.  If my manager distracts the ref and I use a steel chair, that should at least be a 2 2/9ths pin attempt especially if the damage is between orange to red

Low blow in front of ref=dq. low blow when ref isn't looking can be taken to a finisher that's harder to reverse, or a roll up with a more difficult bar.

only problem is if you wanted to knock the ref out for a particular dirty spot, you can't because he gets up 5 seconds later lol

It needs to be better than just stopping the count every time there is a pin attempt.

 

Plus a manager is normally A NON WRESTLER! So if a wrestler decks a manager he should stay down for longer than 1 second.

Wish I could just shove, throw, do finisher on ref like Stone Cold would back in the day.

There should be smart systems in place to determine what functions you can use for managers.  IE if Brock Lesnar has Paul Heyman in his corner, based on previous matches you should have various cheats to use whether it be Heyman distracting a ref or physically getting involved in a match[usually resulting in Heyman getting hit or Lesnar saving him].  There should be different advanced manager smart options based on history and face/heel alignment.  Also, unless you manually remove the managers they should always accompany their superstars to the ring.  How many times do you see Brock without Heyman or Swagger without Colter?  Similarly these managers should always be with their particular superstars without exception.

And allow a manager to follow them down to the ring without clapping(have you seen Colter clap?), and put them on a special roster spot so they don't compete in matches

I wouldnt mind having a manager with a Megaphone or a Cane or being able to toss salt in the eyes.
