WWE don't rate DB as a big enough star to let him just squash an active champion, If he was Batista etc then they probably would do it

They never thought DB was that big a star

How would he know that? I could imagine that more uk fans stayed up to watch it live as it was a Saturday night but can't see why more US fans would have. Unless nxt really is doing great numbers on the network. But again no figures have ever been released.

I don't think I can take anymore!

SVR 07 still looks great IMO.

And that's almost 10 years old!

I think the games have gotten progressively worse. The SvR games were the best in terms of how they looked. It's really odd how bad they now look. A lot of people don't seem to resemble who they are supposed to.

Haven't played a game in ages but I remember trying to win a ladder match or a tag team match, it was like a days work. You could demolish someone with a chair or a ladder and they'd be out but you set that ladder up and they are up like they've never been touched lol.

Yeah that used to annoy me too!

I'd bust someone up till their body is in the red and throw the rest out then go for the belt only for them all to be back up and knock me off! Grrrrrr!

Also I hated how the ladder would kind of slide out of the position it was set up as making going for the belt a real pain!

I remember 6-man MITB matches on SvR 06 & 08. One hour of chaos. Then the AI wins.

2K sports need to get rid of Yuke's as they have done nothing in 10 years to improve the WWE games and like most will agree, they have some how even with much more powerful consoles, make the game look as bad as ever.

2K should give all the work to visual concepts who make the NBA games for 2K as they not only look fantastic (best looking sports game for me) but the gameplay and depth of the games are brilliant.

If you picked up WWE 13 and then played 14,15,16 and 17 you would be hard pushed to see any differences

Why does WWE feel they needed to make lesnar strong in the summerslam match?

Hasent he been booked strong enough since he came back? WWE wouldnt even have him take the pinfall when he was heavyweight champion.

Oh the good old unrealism of WWE games how you could Tombstone someone 12 times give them about 20 chair shots and they would still get up.

He has top secret sources okay!

The whole point of nxt is to prove Paul Levesque can run a wrestling company, ergo the fact the show was a hit is something they might want leaked. Maybe.

NB- The are claiming on social media they are wrestling Slater/Rhyno on SD next week.

2K16 was actually pretty good, I didn't mind the direction they were going in at all with the changes they made to the reversal system and some of the pacing of matches.

Where it completely kills itself is it's online system/mode. It's quite incredible how they can make such a terrible system for online, it's actually horrendous. Smackdown was getting it right years back, I don't see why they felt the need to change it and the way you find opponents and so on. Go back to the old system of entering the lobby, seeing rooms/matches made and making it much more simple and speedy. They ruined a large chunk of the last game or two with a terrible online system which is bizarre considering it's 2016 where this stuff shouldn't be an issue.

The problem with 2K16 was that they mucked about with the controls. A ton of fans hated the new submission system which is probably why this year 2K said they have tweaked it. For me I hate the pinfall thing they do I would have much preferred button mashing which is what 2010 had.

Smackdown here comes the pain on the PS2.

Amazing game, still holds up today.

Agreed - has to be KO. Cass and Reigns simply shouldn't be winning the title and I think Rollins winning would almost be 'rewarding' him for injuring Balor - I've criticised that before with the booking of other superstars so it's only fair I make the same point here. Therefore, KO by default.

That said Seth winning might mean we get another Bret 'I never injured anyone and HHH is the worst person ever' moan which makes it very tempting to do.

On the SD side, AJ should win the title.


That surely can't be right.

Also sure has gone quiet on those whole suspension rumours..

WWE2k16 is free on Xbox One at the minute.

Downloaded it last night baring in mind the last game I had was the final Smackdown Vs RAW, and this game is horrendous. All hear systems for submissions and pin falls are unneeded and the reversal system is horrible. Why have they added all of these and tried to include some "skill" into the game when they were loved for their button bashing element?

I bought the Stone Cold edition last year which wasent cheap. The one thing that had me pumped this year was the NXT edition having Shinsuke Nakamura so looking forward to this one. Plus its got his autograph too & part of the NXT in London ring mat.

I always buy the wrestling games as I know alot of fans criticise them but they are enjoyable to play, so glad Ladder matches got fixed making it easier to get the Briefcase.

I didnt like the choppy entrances HCTP had, if they had been full that game would have been perfect alough at times I do feel it gets a bit overratted how much fans praise.

Haven't played one of the 2K games in years but from what I see the graphics get worse each year.
That said Just Bring It still takes the lead for worst commentary ever.

'TRIPLE H ... is really a great guy'
'This ... STEEL CAGE match... Is very important'
'Undertaker has a great ... THE LAST RIDE'

Its still laughable how this is supposed to be the new generation of new consoles in PS4/X1 and all this new better power and graphics and they still cant have more than 6 wrestlers on the screen at the same time.

The PS2 had less than these consoles today and they could have 8 wrestlers on the screen at the same time.

I've never been able to get into wrestling video games. Though I've played on the most recent (2K16?) and got bored after the novelty wore off, think I've only bought one in probably 15 years. Showing my age now, but was engrossed by the N64 WCW one in the late 90's that featured a huge roster and renamed versions of Japanese wrestlers such as Kobashi and Onita. Like The Simpsons and Turtles arcade games I was very fond of WWF WrestleFest back in the early 90's. They look ancient now, of course.

Don't understand why they continue to release the wwe games during a month like Oct when theres so many big releases out, the last wrestling game i bought was wwe all stars and that must have been 5 yrs ago.

It must really struggle competing with the likes of FIFA and Call of Duty.

No Mercy on the N64 will never be beaten. They might as well stop trying.

Someone put a Bork v Nakamura match from 2006 on youtube- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=getf9rUQa2g

So strange Nakamura is in developmental 10 years after main eventing the Tokyo dome.
