Picked up the game yesterday.

First time playing a wrestling game since day of reckoning 2 for the gamecube. Loving it so far! Is there a database online where I can check out CAWs?

The game has a CAW database. You can download them directly.
 
I meant like is there a list of people who's creations are considered the best? Or just on the system?

Yeah, the 2k forums had a sticky thread that was trying to compile the best CAWS and creators. I still haven't gone through it yet but it looked promising.
 
When playing a private game with one friend online and playing a match with multiple slots like a 6 man tag is it possible to choose the CPU characters like in last years game? This thing was driving me nuts last night.
 
New update just dropped on PS4. Version 1.03, but I haven't found the Patch Notes yet.


Some articles from a few days ago said it adds a new entrance for Finn Balor, or just changes the existing one.. I'm not sure. It also fixes Tyler Breeze video during his entrance.

It's installing now so I'll post impressions.

"Balance improvements have also been made to the submission system in general."

It seems a lot easier to submit opponents now.

Great news. I didn't want to do Austin/Hart at WM13 because of the fear of not being able to do the submission move.. at least I think there would be one.
 
I could break out of submissions with ease before but was never able to make anyone submit. Curious to see if I have success now.
 
Realized something AWESOME today for people that play with a single friend on PS4. Get this;

I was toying with the share play quality settings and set both settings to the higher setting (out of the two choices), respectively. I invited my friend and we didn't think share play would work well.

It works AMAZING with this game. The streaming ability is somehow BETTER than the game's built-in netcode - granted, the recent patches probably fixed the reversal system. I will say that my PS4 is hardlined (network test for shareplay read "Good") and we live within ~2.5 miles of each other and are on the same ISP, so the amount of hops our packets have to do is probably minimal.

Unlike with regular online play, by making the game think you're playing locally, you get access to;
- Custom arenas
- Entrances (with run-ins)
- Replays (albeit silly, they can be turned off since it's a single player feature)
- Seamless load times, especially if the game is installed to the host's hard drive
- Commentary is synced
- Player 2 can control and choose options and match type at title screen in this game

I know there has to be more, what else am I missing?

Downsides:
- Shareplay only supports two players (host and client)
- You are still limited to the CAW's that only the host has and cannot download new CAW's or play online during shareplay (online functions on the game are disabled)
- He was unable to hear the entrance music, while I was. Why this is, I'm unsure - perhaps this is implemented intentionally for licensing reasons? I did have the title screen jukebox wrestler tunes disabled, so maybe that played into it, but I doubt it.

Either this game is super complicated or I suck. I used to love wrestling games, from the n64 games all the way up to HCTP.

I seriously can't do shit in this game, I keep getting mauled by the CPU and there's no MANUAL. When I click on MANUAL in the game it says go to some WEBSITE.

I tried last years version and it plays more like a crappy simulator.. timing on the reversals, kick outs, submissions, etc. I would have loved the game if it played like the older versions on the PS2.

My suggestions:
  1. Read the PDF manual at the website.
  2. Turn the CPU difficulty down to Easy, turn off CPU Reversals in the game settings. Also do this in the modes that have their own settings menus.
  3. Learn the basics in MyCareer mode.
But yeah, the game needs a proper tutorial for sure.

God i wish this game was 1/10 as cool as the CAW stuff.

Fucking garbage reversal-centric POS and you can't even reverse a reversal.

Does anybody know how to do the glitch for putting logos on people?

For example:

VE3TRO

Formerly Gizmowned
I've also been searching and I believe its the wristband texture glitch. It's the same as on 2K15 but was patched. I don't know the exact methond but I've been searching around. Don't think its public in many places since they don't want 2K to patch it.

I found this Kane caw and someone gave him the dark eyes makeup from when he removed the mask. I wanna do the same for some others like HHH or HBK to give them a texture beards/stubble.

Sigh, this game's submission system continues to be just garbage. I can never beat the computer when in a submission. It has come to a point when I just turn the game off because it's so ridiculous.

In my last match, I felt like the mechanic where I have to avoid the red bar from the computer was going on far beyond what was fair (which I was about maybe 8 seconds?) and I submitted.

It's great that they are doing all these fixes this year but they need to stick for 2k17. Lots of warping issues being patched.

Guess the next DLC is coming out next week.
 
Why is my created female doing a silly diva dance upon winning despite her personality being "aggressive" and the entrance being based on Kevin Owens?

I need to get back to this game. It's nice they are still doing fixes but I got way sidetracked from it. I got overwhelmed setting up universe and deciding what kind of show/wrestlers I wanted. I bought the season pass too damnit!

It's pretty difficult to understand due to thick accent, no offense. You might consider writing the script out and getting someone to proofread it and then read it out loud for you. You could then try to mimic the native speaker's pronunciation.

"Did I took LSD and I don't know?" should be "Did I take LSD and not know it?" or something similar.

Pretty cool video though!

Thx for the feedback, i guessed it would be hard to understand. I will see the feedback of other people, but it's 0-1 for my english lol.

Thx for the response!

edit : 0-2 now :( xD haha ( from a other forum, and he wasnt a native-english, that's not going good)

My character Tornado Tom has been getting screwed by the authority. First a one on two tag match, then a one on three tag match... then I had to go against Brock on smackdown...

Luckily I beat the beast. I just need to get a rematch with Sheamus after what he did to me at Survivor Series.

So, how come 2K16 doesn't have the nWo music? There is the team announce with their name, arena ribbon banner, etc - but no music. Copyright issue?
