How come Bob Uecker isn't doing the Ted DiBiase ring introduction?

"To be accompanied . . . by himself!"

"...no...he's got the big guy with him!"

 

[Kahran Ramsus]

Will probably get this because I'm a sucker for old school stuff and the chance to do most of the Wrestlemania classics is too tempting. I am disappointed that they didn't put in Savage/Warrior from VII given that both guys are in the game anyways.

[Mattdotcom]

I don't want to complain over and over again, but taking someone's head and then wasting a CAW slot so that I can get, I don't know, John Cena in tights instead of jorts is absolutely not the type of customization I've ever wanted.

 

[DrVenkman PhD]

It does make that sort of customization easier / possible, though.

 

[Mattdotcom]

My concern is that it was much much easier on the N64

 

[DrVenkman PhD]

Well those days of swappable polygons are dead.

One note: Ignoring the fact some models do look just plain bad and have downgraded over the years, I would have to assume the people complaining the most about the models never played a 2K sports game. Have you SEEN their model of Prince Fielder in MLB2K12?

Kane has some sweet dreads glued to the side of his head, there.

[DrVenkman PhD]

Minor thing, but it's kind of lazy to just use Steph's playable character model for Mania X8 when she wore a green dress and had a hairstyle that looks nothing like that outfit (which looks similar to her No Way Out 2001 gear) while Elizabeth - a total NPC model - got accurate attires for her different Mania appearances.

 

[Haws Bah Gawd]

Kane's Chokeslam STILL looks like shit. It's unbelievable. I see wrestler hair hasn't changed one bit since Just Bring It in 2001.

 

[DrVenkman PhD]

I don't know, they bragged about his new chokeslam pretty hard in the Universe Mode video.

 

[Angle-plex]

They also bragged about the return of two counts.

??? - that red jacket.. also, do they really need to have Fink talking over the intro to his entrance both times?

[Haws Bah Gawd]

I hate to be THAT GUY again, but classic Kane's intro pyro timing of way off. I do like the Tombstone though. Also, I wish at some point, if we're going to get old school Kane, we could get his post Tombstone pin where he would hold his opponents arms out to the side and stare them in the face.

 

[The Amazing Rando]

I love that, whenever possible, it's always a member of 3MB as the victim.

[DrVenkman PhD]

The random Andre music they chose is actually pretty awesome.

 

[Haws Bah Gawd]

An Elbow Drop from Andre. Yep, that will do it!

[tekcop]

"He made his Wrestlemania debut last year at Safeco Field in Seattle where he became the youngest WWE Champion in history."

No proofreading necessary.

 

[Haws Bah Gawd]

Whuh............

 

[DrVenkman PhD]

I think Tek is objekting to the M in Mania not being capitalized.

 

[Angle-plex]

Lots of cool features and best roster of all time....but any words on how the game actually plays yet?
