BAD NEWS... MATCH TYPES REMOVED

[Roman Reigns]

 

 

 

HOT GIRL

Pros -

It looks beautiful.

Gameplay is amazing.

No crotch blur.

Solid titties

Edible panties.

Some of them also have Cons, such as:

No Custom Entrance

No Custom Finisher

No Story Designer

No Highlight Reel or Instant Replay feature.

See and I was fine with all that right there, but when you leave out match types that have been in forever like handicap match. That's when it gets ridiculous.

Whether they're gone or still in you fail to understand that this is not the same game as the thq series. Yes I said that. 2k14-smackdownn1 was the thq series. They're building from the ground up. So either deal with it or just don't. But there's nothing I can do except stay on last gen with your precious glitch filled modes in 2k14 or move forward. I choose to move forward.

 

It's not a different series. It's the same game with a new coat of paint. Is Smackdown 2 a different series from Smackdown 3? What about the SVR series, or even the now current WWE series? The differences are minimal and there are staggered differences in each iteration. The gameplay is almost identical in design, with a lot of the same animations, new animations and new moves and systems added - chain wrestling, three-tier stamina.

 

Moving to a new console generation should not be an excuse for removing features. Lets imagine if this was a PC developed game, would a release a year later with enhanced graphics but limited in nearly every other department be excused? I can guarantee the answer would be a resounding no.

The omissions are disappointing but I get the strange feeling a game company is being painted as this sinister entity looking to screw over their clientele. I promise they want to sell as many games as possible. They probably designed the game from the graphics and career mode first and put in what they could before time ran out. I don't think (and I have no insider info) they took modes out, I think it was more that they didn't have time to put it all back in. I'll wait for the reviews before I commit to it though. Any idea when IGN reviews come out?

^THat wasn't it at all.. everything that got left out had problems.. It's no different than NBA2k14 on current gen... I'm not a 2k fanboy at all.. in fact I dislike 2k but I know where they were going they didn't want all those issues in the game this gen.  You people have complained about A+B+C glitches every year since around SVR2010 they needed to do this.  However if so many people weren't requesting a new feature or mode every damn year we probably wouldn't even be having this conversation.

 

Everyone wanted their precious Logo import crap, and edit a superstar, yes those 2 features are nice but look what it sacrificed not to mention we lost the ablility to have the regular superstar threads.. All i'm gonna say

[UnAmazingRED]

I have yet to see an elimination chamber. I would expect it to be in because of showcase, but i haven't seen one on Xbox One/PS4.

[the King Lives]

^elimination chamber has been uploaded to youtube twice.

Your argument would make sense if there weren't any glitches anymore. But I've already seen 2 watching youtube clips. How much you wanna bet that the glitch that's in last gen where changing a wrestler's crowd reaction doesn't work is in this version as well (I sure hope I'm w wrong though) Edited November 16, 2014 by gamingsinceatari

[gamingsinceatari]

But to be honest, at this point there's no use bringing it up anymore. We are hours away from release and I'm ready to enjoy the game for what it is. I'm actually still excited for it because I think there's things about this game that's gonna be unbelievable. That's basically the only reason why the missing match types ruffled my feathers so much, it's like you meet the girl you've been waiting for your whole life and you find out she's pregnant with her ex boyfriend's baby lol. Crazy analogy but i think you get what I mean.

No game is perfect. Show me a game with zero glitches (especially a first year game) and ill call you a liar.

Things happen it is what it is. It's okay to be critical but this whole none sense of "2k doesn't care Marcus is lazy" is just ridiculous. You have every righ to complain and voice your opinions and concerns but when it gets to the point where we're insulting the devs that's where I draw the line. And we wouldn't be in this mess if thq had actually considered addressing these issues 2 years ago (the company not the wwegames team refused to provide proper resources and financial funding. Instead they preferred Mr U-Draw)

I'm with Jeff on this one.  Yeah, some match types being removed are a bumer, but because of the vastly improved gameplay, I'm sure I won't miss them as much. 

 

As for those who are still crying about creation features, go re-buy 2K14.

[Loo The Boss]

Jeffdomain your so annoying I don't even get on here as much but all I see is your stupid pointless comments you got your dirty hands all over smacktalks.org and it really bugs me now here

Now be quiet...

Either shut up or deal with it.. or here's a better idea, go back to caws.ws or 2k forums

[DaMitch]

i know its a long shot but what if some matches like triple threat TLCs can only be accessed through title matches ? 

 

P.S pls don't flame me for not shitting on this game .......

[Mizalike]

Wats 4 man match is that new

[Walu (Inactive)]

Inferno Match. What about THAT? That was a cool match-type. Doesn't seem to be there.

 

Rest is irelevant, accept for the Handicap Match. But it could an option unter "Match Rules"

[VLine90]

Not sure if there is a definitive list of the match types missing but the one's I'd really miss would be the battle royals, 5 man & 6 man. Had them as elimination matches to set up contenders in Universe, never use the over the top rope variety. I red somewhere that 1vs1 ladder matches are gone? That are gone, that can't be true. No way they can add a 6-man MITB match but can't get the match to work in singles. Also isn't special ref in Showcase, HHH is a special ref in Punk vs Cena.

 

Any one got a full list of everything that has been taken out?

[Titavius]

It sounds to me like they took the franchise apart in early development, kinda like a Meccano set. I think then it was a case of looking at the integral features from past games, and deciding which of them was going to be further developed for next gen. It's like when you have an old structure that needs a refurb, in most cases, the structure will be modernised using present day resources, that will allow it to retain it's characteristics. This process will tend to leave out a few old nuts an bolts that are no longer necessary, they make no odds to the structure.The game will look and play like a brand new game, yet at it's heart it's still a WWE Game. The developers simply looked at their Meccano set, and threw out the old nuts and bolts. This has given them the room they need to re-design those integral modes from the ground up, and to take advantage of the brand new hardware. 

 

I've been ranting for weeks about the cons, not really reading into the positives. I've said I'll hold off on buying this game for a while, but you know I'll be playing it next week like everybody else.

Obviously what you're saying is true, but it's not going to change the fact that people are going to be pissed about all of the omissions. No one's going to care what the reasons are--nor should they. The company makes the game; the consumer buys the game. And the consumer is going to compare this game to previous ones regardless, and when they do, they'll see a ton of feature no longer in it. Entire portions of the game's own community/fanbase have been shut down, if not completely shut out by some of the things left behind this year--at best (who's to even say when we'll see some of these lost features return, if ever).

 

And the line, "I promise they want to sell as many games as possible," is true as well. However, don't think a company wouldn't try and find a way to sell as much of a product they can while putting in as little work as they can as well. It's done all the time, and it's a way to maximize earnings. Clearly they know they're going to sell copies regardless of the effort they put into it. Just look at the dead silence we got from them during 90% (if not more) of this game's marketing period. That's one of the bigger reasons why everyone is as pissed as they are--as they should be. I'm not at all saying not to buy the game or any of that shit, because that's not going to change anything--and I know there are people, like myself, who are still going to want to try and get the most out of it that we can. But everyone has every right to express their displeasure with it if that's how they feel.

 

The embargo on reviews (for everyone--not just IGN; not sure why we're glorifying their opinion here) supposedly lifts after Tuesday. So, if that's true, take away from that what you will.

OTE, that was spot on! In fact, I couldn't have said it better myself. Are you sure we weren't separated at birth? Or, better yet, are you my clone? Refer to this for more information. Might I try suggesting a "For Brotch" button? I might need to market that.

For Brotch:

Ich denke mir und OTE sind Verwandte.

[Roman Reigns]

The problem that a lot of people can't seem to remove themselves from, is that a new console generation does not, and should not mean less content. The people who are making these games are professionals. They get paid a good wage to create these very expensive games; and by expensive, I mean more so than previous generations.

 

Everyone who plays this game is a consumer, and the creators should always listen to the consumers. If the consumer is content with a subpar product, then there is no incentive to change these habits. We should not be commending these developers on bringing an extremely established franchise into, by all accounts, an easier generation of consoles to develop for. Praise should be given for improvements, not the opposite.

Just trying to get my viewpoint across in a rational manner.

You're right. And it's truly a shame that the actual improvements that they have made (which there really are quite a number of, from the graphics to the gameplay, to being able to edit the full roster and easily import our own custom logos) are going to be largely, largely overshadowed by everything that they've left behind. That was their own mistake, and there just aren't any two ways around it. Is what little they have to offer good? From the looks of things, it seems like it will be. However, is what they have to offer complete? Not in the slightest.
