Yeah, I'd rather be able to book matches as squashes where one wrestler can hit their finisher at will and the other can't get momentum at all, or set up endings that you then need to fulfill - opponent must be counted out after going through the announcer table, pinfall must be after two finishers, must kick out of opponent's finisher then land your own, etc...

I wish they went all the way with it honestly. Theres been a lot of wrestling sim games Football Manager style before, would be cool if they did it right in 2K. If there was a more competent developer behind this I could see this actually being good but this is going to end up being half baked and disappointing

It's terrible.
They wanted something they could twitter hashtag and abbreviate: BLN1.

No Switch version listed.
No PC either. Probably in the Spring again for the superior version. And by superior version, I mean mods.

That is the hashtag for it. WWE was using it on Twitter at the weekend.

That should be the special cover for the Pro/One X version. Enhanced Performance Edition.

I do. One of my favorite wrestling modes is Manager of the Ring mode in Final Fire Pro Wrestling which allowed me to bargain contracts, steal wrestlers from other countries, set up TV contracts and select arena pricing, merchandise sales, and select even what style I was trying to promote. Then in the matches try to have well liked matches in order to boost my ratings and revenue. It was a gameboy advance game.
Ah yes the long rumored "Declining Ratings Edition"

Any idea what the single player/"story" content is this year?
I picked up 2k16 recently just to run through the Austin Showcase and it was a pretty good nostalgia trip (got me to sub to the Network for a month to watch the real versions of lots of those matches).
Saw a rumor that they might focus on Undertaker for that this year.

Seth Freakin' Rollins
Wait, what's going on here? What is he doing?
And here? What's he doing here?
AJ and Naka are a huge deal for wrestling fans, but for the mainstream audience Rollins has more recognition.

These days? I'm not sure. I think AJ has definitely gained mainstream attention. He's been around for over a year.
AJ is a year or two away from getting a WWE cover, I think. As it is, I still think Rollins is more well known by the average consumer than AJ is.

This has to be the last gen version right?Switch can't handle these next gen, cutting edge visuals.

Truly a crossfit Jesus.
I just realised they finally dumped last gen, right? I haven't seen it anywhere.
I like Rollins a lot, but they couldn't have gone with a better photo for the cover?!
I still haven't gotten around to buying the Season Pass for 2K17 and I do want to check out the content. I wonder how the X and Pro will add to the game visually! Will there be a new showcase?

If they are Dutch, upright and breathing they are more racist than your favorite player
The photo is fine, the 2000 Photoshop layers is probably what youre having issues with
Nice that it's finally one of the newer guys instead of relying on older part-timers or whatever. And I guess the little trailer might be playing into that a little.
...I hope the story creator is finally coming back. 2K17 had the "Create-A-Video" feature which was kind of like that, but a huge pain in the butt to use.

If true I hope the brand split stuff optional. I like GM mode but I would also like to run Raw & Smackdown without restrictions.
Apparently, this guy is reliable?

I bet they'll do the same shit they did with 2K17. Release the PC version half a year later for full price, and with DLC/season pass still sold separately. Get fucked, 2K.

Not thrilled by this. Never been a big Rollins fan, and I'm not convinced that his brand is strong enough to have the games marketing ride on him. It's whatever, though.
A lot of people have wanted a sim style wrestling game from somewhere that wasn't just a simulator for a minute
That's a great idea if you want to sell 0 copies
He'll be on it next year after he beats Brock at Mania for his 4th Main Event in a row.

Should have been Roman Reigns or AJ Styles.
Seth already destroyed one piece of WWE/wrestling history
They should definitely have a Sting mask in that warehouse that he buckle bombs into retirement.
