If I create a wrestler in My Career mode, does that character then get uploaded for anyone else to view/download online? Or can I rest easy knowing that my lazily designed wish fulfilment wrestler will never be seen by anyone else?

You can enable your CAW to show up in a friend's MyCareer if you accept to do so. That's all I've seen it ask me.

What are the hour estimates for Hall of fame? 500 hours? 9001?

After 25 hours I hit the first Royal Rumble and #4 for Intercontinental. I was so excited but it made me do a rivalery match instead. Not even a mid 20's draw. Another shitty situation ngles match against a shitty superstar whose name I don't even remember whose 20 attribute points above me because every superstar besides 2 are above 80 except for me. I had to fight 92 bulldcocked Kevin Owens for the nxt championship even though he was way above my leauge. Fills like a ftp game with the slow payout of points and currency. Wouldn't be surprised to find micos if I connected to the internet. I digress, after I found out I had been excluded from the royal Rumble I deleted the game and returned it to the video store.

That's just the tip of my rambling anger that is "Career Mode". It was by far the worst simulation mode I've ever played for one reason alone. No continuity. Choose a belt and suddenly that belt is the focal point of the entire wwe. Nothing else matters. Intercontinental championship mainlining summerslam because reasons. That's why I always loved the NCAA games. So many teams, tournaments, and events always going on around you. You weren't the special darling if the industry. Wwe could(should) have that feeling. There was a time that Steve Austin, Dx, and The Rock could be fighting different people on the same card. It had a sense of scale and greatness that the career mode doesn't even begin too match. Instead you have 100 hours of " Hhh and the authority seem disappointed in you...". Ridiculous.

Someone gave me a digital code for PS4 but I already have the game. Anyone know any websites you can trade digital codes for different games?

Yukes, who made HCTP 12 years ago, makes bad wrestling games and should not be trusted. But AKI, who made No Mercy 15 years ago and has been making fashion games for the past decade, will save us? They probably don't even have anyone still on staff who made wrestling games.

Eh, they also did the Def Jam games and if Vendetta had more match modes, it would have been the best wrestling game of that generation. Fight for NY still plays like an Aki wrestling game even if it isn't in a ring, which they then got the feel right of the Yakuza PSP games which had similar systems again. I'm pretty sure they could do it considering that last Yakuza PSP was 2012.

THQ only dropped them because they weren't willing to commit to a yearly schedule. Seeing how Yuke's turned out when that happened, it was probably the right call.

You would be surprised if you play this game. The amount of detail that AKi did with this game. This is one of the best underrated simulation games on the 3DS.

Finally got my copy last night, took long enough. Amazon.ca you continue to disappoint.

I turned off the chain wrestling and the like and hmmm, first impressions. Not all that great.

Some faces look kinda puffy, Ricky Steamboat and Jake the Snake actually seem a tad worse in face than in one of the previous games that had them in it. It just stuck out like a sore thumb to me.

I skipped last year but the year before I enjoyed the game once I turned down some of the options for reversals. In that game it felt easier to get up and get out of harms way, but in this version once the computer starts to go to town on you it feels like your pretty much at their mercy until you hit a reversal yourself which is not always easy. It's annoying from kicking the computers ass some to suddenly having the tar beaten out of you and beaten if not struggling. Even worse is when your going through Austins Showcase and need to hit certain check points. Those have already been frustrating and feels much worse than again the previous version I played with. Even the button prompts seem to hang around until you wait to hit that one button. It just feels.....pointless? Unenjoyable.

First impressions only but it kinda made me want to go back to the version I had before.

I was doing my career mode with my CAW Hugo and this small glitch happened and I thought I would share it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWtOvXj6muU

Nothing too fancy, but it was the first time I saw something like that happen and the commentary following it just seemed to compliment it nicely.

I was messing around with CAW when I saw a Totino's shirt and made a Mr. Plinkett from the fairly famous Star Wars Prequel trilogy reviews. I wanted to base it more on the cartoon version from the reviews, but had to settle with a more "Half in the bag" version when I couldn't do what I wanted.

Right is entrance, left is wrestling attire.

Which leads me into stuff I hate about the CAW

Some of the decisions really confuse me. Maybe it has to do with wanting your CAW to look "normal" in Career mode cutscenes, but a lot of the restriction really tick me off.

Not being able to wear hats and certain jackets in a match seem like asinine decisions.
There seems to be a large lack of creative entrances.

I remember when you could do a Spider-Man entrance in Shut Your Mouth

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntP_kI93_3Y

Hair choices are all fairly normal now too. No Guile or Super Saiyan stuff. But even then they seem to be missing some pretty common hair types. Like I saw no twin tail stuff to make something like R. Mika or Sailor Moon.

Smackdown games used to really let you have a nice selection of stuff to choose from that got you a fairly good facsimile of most wrestlers. I was searching on the download section of CAW and there was no good Tiger Mask and the Hayabusa was fairly iffy.

Overall, the clothing selection is fairly mundane. You really have to get creative with the add-on patterns to get something you like.

Now that is interesting. I wonder what the tone of the game was when you have Nintendo characters fighting in Smash Bros. Perhaps the selling animations? Maybe not wanting to see the characters actually writhe in pain?

Again...how much of that staff do we reasonably think is still there? I look at how depleted SNK's talent pool is, or hell even Capcom's (had to outsource to Dimps)... I'm just saying, AKI is unlikely able to produce the same quality as they could a decade ago.

After reading all the positive reviews I caved in and picked it up. I think it's the best one I've played for a few years but it's a real mixed bag as usual. It's frustrating because when it works it one of the most fun experiences I have in games (especially with friends) but then it frequently doesn't for dumb reasons. Anyway my observations so far:


  • Graphically it's all over the place, Some look better than others but in general I find the scanned wrestlers look really good and the others really bad. Short hair looks good and Long hair looks terrible. The ring looks good but the entrance area looks really bad, as do the crowds.
  • The commentary I actually found to be a bit better, Still really bad mind, but it seemed better than it's ever been (though that could just be because I've spent most of my time in showcase mode so far witch regurgitates the real commentary)
  • The Showcase mode is a cool idea (If you like Stone Cold) but elements are really badly implemented. The objectives are sometimes really vague or rely on the opponent doing something first that you couldn't know about. For example one of the first objectives I had was "Hit Bret Hart with the Stun Gun" Which as someone who watched the NWO with their cattle prod led me to start looking all over for one in the arena since I didn't know it was a move. One was "Hit Kane 3 times with a chair" in a royal rumble, But I couldn't get out the ring to get one. Eventually Kane went and got it himself after he did a move on me. Another told me to "Damage opponent outside the ring" then immediately after to hit them with a stunner only for it not to count because it was not in the ring.
    The QTE sequences are done terribly too with a small subtle prompt at the bottom of the screen during a minute or two long cut scene. This results in you having to just stare at the bottom of the screen since if you focus on the actual action on screen you'll likely miss it.

    Also: "The Enforcer" instead of Mike Tyson?!? Come on now Yukes. Don't get cheap.

  • The Gameplay I found to be the biggest improvement, The reversals limit and stamina meter add a lot to the game and stop everything becoming a reversal fest. I find doing moves through a table a lot harder to do now but that could just be me. I really don't like the submission system though (which is weird because it's blatantly ripped off from the UFC game which I like it in) and I've found myself losing really early on in matches where I haven't taken any damage on a few occasions.
  • The Caw system is good as usual but the face import is unnecessarily complicated and just doesn't work (Why can't it be like EA's Game face)
  • Played one online Hell in a cell match with a friend and had no lag issues, Although I did get stuck in the wall of the cell for a minute and had to walk around to free myself from it.

man this one would have been nice before I had to make several CAWs from scratch multiple times because everything looked good until I saw how they looked in an entrance.

"Addressed several instances where a player’s UI could become blurred "

saw that happen once on a friends copy.

After many, many iron man matches, on easy, against General Adnan, I think i've finally worked out how to use the submission system - I managed to submit him 6 times in a match!

I had been stuck on the Austin V Hart WM13 match due to the submission system, but I just got Hart to give up from a sleeper.

Even though getting out of a submission shouldn't be that much different, I can't seem to pull that off at all! I stunnered Adnan in one match only for him to reverse my next move and make me submit!

I've read from others to lower the difficulty (i'm only playing on normal as it is!). To have to do that to get around a dodgy game mechanic though - surely something will be patched in to either make it easier or maybe change the system completely?

Good to see some them actually fixing things post launch.

I think this game can be pretty solid if they clean up a few more things and prevent the online desyncs dont happen.

I mostly play offline and local multiplayer and im still enjoying the game in short spurts.

WWEGAF, I need your help. I was thinking of picking up WWE 13 since its super cheap to get but don't know if its any good. Is it worth picking it up for $20 or should I skip it? Last game I played was SvR 2009 and I hated it.

I'm also considering getting SvR 2008 or a completely different game (Tony Hawk's Project 8)

WWE '13 is only worth getting if you absolutely love the Attitude Era.

SvR 2008 is by far the worst game in the SmackDown series. Do not get it under any circumstance.

WWE '13 is broke as hell. If you are playing with other people it's not a big deal, but if you play against the AI, everything is broken. Stats don't work, the AI doesn't do its finisher instead opting to try to put you through the announce table or the barricade. No near falls, ever, everyone kicks out of a finisher at the 1 count like Brock Lesnar.

SvR08's gameplay, graphics, and framerate are all garbage, and the awful "fighting style" mechanic severely handicaps the wrestlers' move sets. There are tons of signature moves that can't be assigned to certain wrestlers because of fighting style restrictions. Ultimate control grapples and struggle submissions are also terrible ideas; SvR07 has 100+ submission moves, and SvR08 only has a dozen. And then there's 24/7 Mode. The game is a mess.

In retrospect, the only games in the series worth playing are Here Comes the Pain and Shut Your Mouth. Yuke's was masterful at depicting certain characters. It really felt like you were playing as Rock, Austin, Hogan, HHH, Jericho, RVD, and so on.
