WWE 2k19

I more meant actual career mode. Universe mode is fine for what it is, but they could do much more with it. It's basically just "you're too lazy to make matches yourself, so here's some" Half the time it doesn't even follow it's own logic. I've had it, on more than one occasion, have the Royal Rumble winner not even get booked at WrestleMania.

That sadly makes sense

I'm militant pro-Fire Pro, but their editing suite is pretty good.

I did 2k edits for 2 years while Fire Pro R was dying its slow death, I thought my project in Returns was done, little did I know so much more was still out there to be put in the Anthology... and that a new game would come out. Eventually, I left the 2K scene for the MLB The Show scene and I thought I'd be there for the rest of my editing life.

I do miss the ease of adding new materials to edits. I was very proud of the Anthology on 2k. It was quality work: the stats were balanced, the movesets were well-researched and slotted, and I really worked hard on the appearances. I remember my Muta, my Fujinami robe (before he was in the game, he came later that year), my Inoki robe, my Onita jacket, my Jumbo jacket, my Tenryu REVOLUTION jacket etc... even something like... was it Shoji Nakamaki's shirt? All I had to do was draw it in GIMP, import it in and boom.

I can't make new stuff like that in World, it's just too much work and I'm old and lazy.

Graphically, they are kicking our asses in ways. Of course they are.

But the game doesn't have as much depth under the hood. It's made to be played by kids and casual gamers. Fire Pro is more complex. It was a turn-off for me. I like the depth of Fire Pro, all the nuances. But there's a place for the arcadey gameplay too.

Their license has gotten better because WWE and 2K both threw a ton of money on their rosters.

I HATED THE UPLOAD LIMITS. Is it still like that? Was it what, 20 CAWS per account with unlockable tiers? I fully unlocked like 3-4 accounts!!

That's an opinion.

The lack of logic in 2K make the matches more disjointed and unrealistic for me.

I'm actually with Carlzilla on this. The 2K games have gotten much more simulation-based than they once were.


I didn't find the latest entry to have flawed logic. Heels behaved like heels and faces behaved like faces (for the most part) with the implimentation of Personality Traits giving each wrestler a wide array of specific abilities unique to their character, and their attributes are balanced accordingly. You can even manually set the AI with sliders now which gives you the option to make the game much more challenging / more realistically paced. 


I'm not sure about simming, though. I always play these games 100% of the time.
