WWE 2K18 infomation thread

Oh man can't wait. The logo stretching fix is HUGE for me. Used to have to crop a logo in half just to get it to work without blurring. 

 

The new moves are obviously non-DLC... no Angle slams, no Five Star Frog Splash (they'd better put a new one in as the old one was glitchy).. I kind of skipped most of the moves but did they add Gore for Rhyno??

 

its great they added face presets again. Hopefully it will make morphing easier for certain CAWs. But it looks like you can't make fat or obese wrestlers. I love the new menu screen post option where you can customize shit individually and even set the preview with the entrance attire. That is huge and will add another couple of minutes to creations (because I will look through them all-CAW previews are important.. people won't download as much if you have a whack pose) 

 

The small arena looks amazing. I just hope the crowd sounds like it's supposed to, similar to the NXT crowd we got a preview of a couple of weeks ago. 

 

The glowing stuff is cool, I probably won't use it but it's great to have the option. The side hair thing looked interesting but when he went down in opacity it basically disappeared and didn't give it a side "fade" look. 

 

You can finally remove the stupid play:pause menu from replays (I think) so screenshots of DDT's on chairs (for example) at that perfect moment are finally possible. 

 

Really nothing to complain about from the video besides not showcasing the ability to create obese wrestlers but whatever. October, hurry up and get here already!

Ah... THAT'S what it was. I remembered one of the fun modes my friends and I like to play wasn't available for women. My bad. 

all good bro yeah people are actually asking if a 30 women's rumble is possible since there are like over 30 women in the game now. of course 2k refuses to answer that question lol

the gore is just a running one. so no corner one. i'll probably just give him the reigns one lol 

how was the 5 star glitched? I know Frogsplash 1 was glitched to the point you could never get a 3 count regardless of the damage

but yeah i like everything i've seen

i'm predicting 2k19 will somewhat be a fail though you know how it's every even numbered game is good and the odd numbered games have issues lol

but i'm hoping 2k18 broke that curse and the rest from here on out will be good

as far as the stretch stuff i didn't run into many issues with that since i would just keep wrapping the design till it wasn't faded but good to know it's legit fixed this time around

The five star frog splash looked funky. Not enough height, and didn't seem to respect the law of physics. On some instances you'd clip through the top rope and when he jumped he would just fall in a non-realistic (I know it's a video game but Eddie's Frog Splash worked perfectly) way. 

 

It also made the wrestler turn their body mid air for no reason. I understand when they aren't lined up, RVD (caw) used to shift his body mid-air but with the in-game one he would almost do a complete spin.. and the wrestler wouldn't bounce off acting all hurt like RVD used to.

 

Don't get me started on trying to do it off the top of a ladder. 

 

Rolling thunder was glitchy too. Instead of the game correctly calculating the amount of space needed for RVD's theatrics (cartwheel or whatever it is he does) it magically moves the wrestler while they are on the ground to give you space. It also attempts to move him when you actually do have enough space lol. 

 

They also better fix his corkscrew leg drop. For some STUPID and UNKNOWN reason the camera would shift to behind the crowd whenever RVD would run up to the apron to do his Rob Van Dam taunt. I really don't understand the reasoning or if it's a glitch, how can they let that slide without testing it first? I know it's not because of copyright issues... the taunt is already in the game and as far as I know, RVD doesn't own the rights to that move lol.. if he did then that's a lazy way to not get sued. 

 

But yeah, if you have a chance check the five star frog splash and try it while the wrestler is at a weird angle. The wrestler will defy gravity and shift almost like a skydiver switching formations... not enough hang time and the gravity it uses seems to be from another planet. 

[NickBreaker]

I wonder how the preset faces will work when you're placing a face texture - it would be nice if you lined up all the eye holes etc. and could then flick through the presets.

I hope that is the case.

No corner GORE is a joke man - he nearly always does it with a taunt in the corner now.

No Biggy though.

ah i see what you mean see i only used it in i think 2k16 when i was playing as eddie guerrero (caw) cause i hated the frogsplash 2 with a passion (that ugly one with the taunt that just looked like a swan dive) but yeah i see what you mean lol 

so basically it's the move that gravity forgot lol

what i hate is that i liked just adding a texture thru the face logo thing instead of the face scan thing

my best friend and i were discussing nba2k18 and their face scan which is definitely miles better than WWE2k's face scan option. i wish we had that 

then again it could be worse. it could be the EA Game face thing. i could never get that thing to work lol.

 

i wonder if we get the mobile app back this year.

[Crow]

NBAs face scan system would lead to thousands of mediocre caws, with few decent ones.  Hope they keep the face photo exactly the same, if only to keep defract killing it this year.

sorry i don't agree with that nba's face scan is way better. the same picture i tried using in 2k17 i had no problem scanning in nba 2k18. in 2k17 half the image came out with a yellowish/greenish hue because of my mixed complexion. in nba2k18 i didn't have that issue at all. i guess it's all down to preference and ther are already thousands of mediocre caws. just look at the chris adams caws, some of the shelton caws as well. (not yours of course) i mean idk i guess it's okay how it is but i'd prefer it to be a bit more user friendly is all

god no lol i like face textures more than face scan, can't make caws then lol

you can still use textures though. even if they did the face scan thing. i mean all you have to do is add them under appearance. that's what i've done since 2k15 i hardly ever use that face import thing it just never worked for me. but hey ho. options are always good lol

that's a step back isn't it lol

well it works for me lol

i don't do alot of creating like i did on last gen just my original creations but even when i created dean malenko in 2k16 i added a texture as a face tattoo instead of doing the face import thing.  i've never been able to get that to work.

[ReLL7thirty]

Yeah but NbA2K's face scan needs you to actually use a camera and you need all the angles it has to trigger. It's bad enough finding good face photos of them looking straight, couldn't imagine profiles and side angles and stuff like that. 

 

I hope they tweak it though. Where the edges don't look dark or fade out. You lose a majority of cheek bone textures when placing a face, and that wasn't the case in 2K16.

you can't even see tattoos when editing face lol, like with face import, it blends the texture and you can shape with it  and pick the skin tone.

yeah i get your point. i know game face was like that with EA. i tried creating myself in madden and i came out looking like superman and Martian Manhunter had a child lol

well i haven't done it since 2k16. but i didn't have that problem but fair enough. that's why i leave the major creating to the pros. i just do moves alt attires arenas and championships now lol

@ReLL7thirty you doing your lashley again this year?

If I find some better face photos, yeah for sure. Already hand drew his tattoo and have a couple of logos for him, so might as well try. Hopefully his name is still selectable in the audio announcements. 

 

The face photo I use for him now is ok but you can't make out his features that make you instantly know he's Lashley. But I guess I'll try it out if I don't find a new one.

yeah i'm kinda worried about the audio announcements cause when Roberts was replaced, there were alot of names not added. hopefully it got increased hopefully they added numbers back in as well

but that's cool definitely looking forward to it.

he's in but he's the same model from last year which i actually prefer

i honestly considered doing a tna universe but i would probably had been more into it if we had a 6 sided ring option. don't know how that would work but still.

i just trying get all the GFX for the rings etc so i can make the best one i can

Found over at the 2k forum

Quote

Move Modifier was explained on the 2K Boards:

In regards to the "Move Modifier".

This is part of the new Weight Detection system, and is indicative of a moves difficulty in being performed. 

A Snap Suplex will have a lower Move Modifer, while a Stalling Suplex will have a higher Move Modifier.

Your Weight and Strength are the biggest determining factors in how heavy of an opponent you can lift, but the Move Modifiers might just put you over the threshold. 

For example, if you are facing a very heavy opponent whom you can't normally lift, you might still be able to perform your moves that have a Low Move Modifier.


I hope that clears this up! 



Cheers,

that means that weight detection is really going to come into effect. hopefully no more lifting nia jax

Damn does that mean I'll have to edit those moves in the weight detection movelist? It's the only section I avoided like the plague. Just takes way too long lol

 

the whole weight detection thing is kind of dumb though because it doesn't work with finishers. AJ Styles could hit the big show with a Styles clash in game but can't even grapple him lol. If AJ could even lift Big Show, he'd probably wind up dropping him on his head before cuffing his arms around with his legs.

i don't think so. cause it was normal listed moves and they were in the finisher list so they may have found a way to implement weight detection without all that stuff. i avoided it like the plague too lol it definitely took too long to go in and change.

i do know the can't grapple thing with big show normally ends after he's out of his green bar of energy (tier 1) but yeah i know what you mean like having someone like AJ using move theif on kane and chokeslamming him is so unrealistic lol

hopefully they really looked at that section of the game. that's really the only part of the game that kind of irked me. especially when it came to nia jax cause she was listed as a light heavyweight when clearly she shoulda been listed as a super heavy lol or even a heavyweight. 

so fingers crossed the figured all this out
