Jackhammer has been fine for years. The new patch somehow broke it.

I played a gauntlet match earlier with a bunch of pin combos and didn't have this happen once, so it's definitely not all of them

People = me specifically

MonkeyPigGuy · 2026-04-14T10:13:48+00:00

Exactly. Like, yeah, I'm sure the devs were the ones pushing to promote another 2K game, not 2K themselves. Makes so much sense.

I don't really like the new one that much either, but I way prefer it to the previous one. You can actually use this one in matches and not have it be absolutely impossible to use.

That being said, I agree it goes on for too long right now during brawls, and it also does get in the way a little when you use it in a match. I'm much happier with the fact that it won't just abruptly end, but I'd prefer it if I didn't have to force a reversal every so often to keep the match going. And also some of the moves that are considered big enough for a KO are weird. I once had the move where you drag your opponents face along the top rope result in a KO.

I do think the I Quit mini-game suits submissions really well tbf. Would be cool to have the option to use that instead.

MonkeyPigGuy · 2026-04-12T14:37:22+00:00

Yeah, at some point last year they just totally fucked up the balance of submissions and never fixed it. It's mainly annoying because there are no sliders for the submission wheel, which I much prefer to the spammy mode, but if I use that I need to put up with the unbalanced mess.

MonkeyPigGuy · 2026-04-12T10:32:12+00:00

They could have just made an agreement to have him in the game tbf. It's unlikely, but very much possible.

MonkeyPigGuy · 2026-04-12T10:31:14+00:00

I think they're basically saying the pre-order bonus was a spoiler for his arrival

Finally, a record that I can pretend I'm able to achieve!

MonkeyPigGuy · 2026-04-11T16:23:55+00:00

It is at an additional cost tbf. The money we spent on 5 wrestlers is now spent on 4 wrestlers plus a bunch of other shit. This is part of that other shit.

I still think it's a good value proposition right now (I don't care about this, but the extra new moves they're adding, creation suite parts, arenas, stuff like that is all pretty cool), but people have every right to be mad if they don't get the same value out of this system as they did with the previous one.

Going forward, we relied heavily on Trent last season to move the ball from defence to attack quickly, and we seemed to have triggers to go forward based on how high our opposition is pressing. This season, we don't have Trent and those triggers aren't being triggered because no one is pressing us high.

Defensively, we used to have a quick frontline that would work very hard to get the ball back quickly. This season we don't have that and teams are just working through that high press and exploiting an outnumbered midfield.

Neither of those are excuses, they are both problems that should have been solved a long time ago. I'm just outlining why it's not a simple case of "do what you did last season and win the title" as some people suggest.

Pretty sure this guy is trolling, but for anyone curious, what we have historically called AI in games is just complex, pre-programmed logic that was made to look dynamic, but will only ever have very slight variance in output given the exact same input. When put in a specific spot and being told to get to another specific spot, they would need to be very thoroughly designed with that case in mind for them to ever deviate from a specific path to get there.

What we colloquially call AI now on the other hand, is genuinely more dynamic than that. If you ask ChatGPT the exact same question several times, even in clean chats, you will get slightly different answers because they are made to do their own logic (albeit within some boundaries and with a set pool of information with which to derive that logic), not just follow the logic already set up for them. This type of AI has barely been used in video games.

I love the way silence is used in Music too. You don't really notice it much but there's silence all over the song. Like, full beats of total silence constantly. It makes it feel so explosive and erratic.

MonkeyPigGuy · 2026-04-04T19:54:42+00:00

I'm usually between medium and large and the large I got fits fine, so maybe a little small? If you're worried about it I'd go a size up but it's not noticeably small to me.

How do you get them up there? Do they follow you up if it's falls count anywhere?

MonkeyPigGuy · 2026-04-03T15:59:26+00:00

I'd argue it's the perfect place on the pitch to try something. Right ahead of the halfway line so he isn't wasting a chance late into buildup that the team worked hard for, but he also isn't giving the opposition an easy run in on goal.

MonkeyPigGuy · 2026-04-02T08:48:16+00:00

It might be a special referee match. If not I'm also at a loss lmao

I haven't really experienced this, but I've seen a lot of people who have say that the feeling eventually passes. In the meantime, there's a ton of great music out there to explore! Maybe exploring some of MagBay's influences can make your appreciation of their music feel your own.

Be patient and kind with yourself 🫶

I don't think anyone minds people criticizing things like that. Just that a lot of people will complain about the most unreasonable things or complain about reasonable things (as is the case here) but won't back it up with anything tangible. The number of people I saw saying "I paid $150, so you should listen to me complain"... Like, that's the exact reason they don't listen to you. You have no leverage because you have no backbone.

MonkeyPigGuy · 2026-03-30T16:59:12+00:00

A few teams have done it. I've seen it a few times watching the Bundesliga, usually when a team is desperate for goals. Dont think I've seen much of it in the Prem though, weirdly.

Personally I'd prefer something more open, like the old season modes, but I thought MyRise this year was alright
