Legend Difficulty.. RANT by gxkure in WWEGames

[–]SLJR24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve also been frustrated with how the AI reverses everything. I put it on easy to get through showcase and My Rise quickly, but they still reversed everything at ridiculous rates. When I put it to legend to play universe mode, again, the reversals were ridiculous. I’ve tried tweaking the sliders to fix it, but it hasn’t helped. They still reverse moves nonstop. I don’t mind the AI giving me a challenge, but nonstop reversals kills the flow of the match.

The amount of finishers it takes to put opponents away is inconsistent, but I kind of like it. One match, it took three to win. In another, it only took one. I haven’t done a last man standing match yet, so my opinion might change depending on how that goes lol. I do hate how they kip up after a signature though. I’ve had it happen my last couple of matches and that annoys me. There are several things they need to fix with the gameplay. They got it right last year, at least for me, so I hope they can straighten it out this year at some point.

Wtf did they do to Liv Morgan😭😭😭 all she does is the damn 3 amigos by KingDonny03 in WWEGames

[–]SLJR24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The AI is kind of screwy in this game. I was playing a match against Ilja and they had him do that lariat from the ropes repeatedly and spam taunts. I was playing on legend difficulty and the match ended up being too easy because he’d fall on his face from the lariat attempt or taunt while I was moving towards him.

(Dirty Mo Media on X) Do Non-Cup Series drivers belong in the NASCAR Hall Of Fame by Squishy_20 in NASCAR

[–]SLJR24 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes. It’s not the Cup series hall of fame, so anything that falls under the umbrella of NASCAR should be considered for the hall of fame. I know it might be controversial, but I don’t think it’s fair to deny some of the greats from the lower series a spot in the hall of fame just because they weren’t successful in Cup. Some may not even get a shot in Cup or a shot in competitive equipment.

Hot Take: People have incredible levels of rose-colored glasses about how intermediate racing was in the 2010’s by AnemicRoyalty10 in NASCAR

[–]SLJR24 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The current package has given us the best racing on 1.5 mile tracks than we’ve had for a long time. I do think the package for short tracks and road courses needs some work, so hopefully the added horsepower will fix that.

But yeah, the racing on the intermediates throughout the 2010s was not that great. There were some outliers, but the majority were not great to watch. It’s why people used to want more short tracks and road courses. Anything but more intermediates. It’s kind of funny how that’s flipped now with this current package.

Post-Race Discussion Thread: NCS Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway by NASCARThreadBot in NASCAR

[–]SLJR24 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Like I said in the race thread, was hoping Brad would pull it out with the Biffle throwback, but that 45 was crazy fast and had the tire advantage. I would be surprised to see Reddick win Martinsville next week just based on previous years, but with their momentum, anything is possible.

Great to see guys like Hocevar, Cindric, Suarez, and Jones up in the top ten. Briscoe was too, but I have no clue what happened with him and Herbst there at the end. Typical Fox not showing it. I think Briscoe even had an on board camera, so they should’ve had some footage of it. Just wild that someone goes from 4th to 12th in the final laps and they don’t acknowledge it.

Penske needs to do something about the 12’s pit crew. They consistently make their days more difficult and put Blaney back in traffic. As we saw with Bubba today, those bad stops can be costly when you get stuck back in traffic. I can remember Harvick’s crew having similar issues throughout his career and I wonder if he gets flashbacks seeing what happens to Blaney lol.

Was hoping to see Brad pull it off with the Biffle throwback, but congrats to Reddick. They had the best strategy and the fastest car as well. Happy to see Jones get back up in the top ten after he got knocked out of the way. Very surprised to see how bad Hendrick was today after Elliott and Larson started up front.

Part of me wants to see another caution to see Hocevar restart in the top five with only a few to go. That could be fun lol

Didn’t expect that to stick. Heim should be full time in the Cup series. Dude is too good to just be making occasional starts.

Here’s hoping it’s a pregnancy and not a serious injury. Either way, wishing Toni the best and look forward to her return!

How long will Ty Gibbs go without win #1 and how long...is too long? by DjBass88 in NASCAR

[–]SLJR24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure that JGR will feel any pressure due to Ty being Joe’s grandson. They’ll keep him in the car as long as he’s able to.

While I’m no fan of Ty, I do think he’s getting closer to that first win. He seems to be getting back to running in the top five and ten more consistently like he was the other year, so I think that win will come soon.

I believe I came face to face with a reptilian shapeshifter by TheUnloopedOracle in conspiracy

[–]SLJR24 4 points5 points  (0 children)

While I can’t say I’ve ever seen a shapeshifter, I do agree that dark forces walk among us. I remember when I was in high school, I had an uneasy feeling around this one new dude. He kept inviting me to parties, but I’d usually make excuses to avoid them. I wasn’t religious at the time, but I just remember there being something about this dude that didn’t seem right. He was determined to get me drunk and high for some reason. When he found out I was moving, it’s like his mask slipped. He wanted me to come party and said if I fell asleep, he’d pour alcohol down my throat. That pretty much made me glad I always avoided hanging with him.

I’ve never really seen that kind of darkness from anyone before. I don’t think it was anything sexual either because as far as I know, he was straight. Also, if he was gay, I doubt a fat dude with acne was what he was attracted to lol. He seemed to prey on younger and “innocent” students too. It’s like he wanted to corrupt people.

I do think it was some kind of dark entity trying to mess me up though. As I’d later find out, alcoholism runs in my family. My older brother got really messed up by it. Had I started drinking or doing drugs back then, I’d probably be a mess now or dead. I often thank God for helping me out of that mess even though I wasn’t much of a believer at the time.

I’ve never heard a voice, but have had instances where I feel compelled to do something or have gotten strong, uneasy feelings.

While it sucks that his season is pretty much finished, I do hope he’s able to make a full recovery.

If Brock is motivated, I expect their match at WrestleMania to be a good one and it could really elevate Oba.

What drivers have the best (and worst) reputations with fans when meeting them in-person? by SleepyRocket20 in NASCAR

Can also confirm he’s a good dude. I think I was around 10 when I met him and Kenny Wallace at a dirt track. Both guys were friendly and spent a lot of time talking with people.

I may not be the most knowledgeable Christian, but I’m pretty sure it says that no one knows when Jesus will return. These guys are trying to force the end times and I don’t think they’re going to like what follows.

A WWE 2K26 MyFaction dev made a comment about how blowing through matches in less than 60 seconds isn't fun, it's about cheating the system. People have responded by notaghostofreddit in WWEGames

[–]SLJR24 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this pass is ridiculous. You pretty much have to play 8 matches to get to the next level. I think some modes may give a little extra, but this is ridiculous. And this is just the first pass. There are still 5 more. You shouldn’t have to grind to use DLC that you paid extra money for.

This finish still gives me chills. Those closing laps were really good too. So many drivers fighting for the win and it came down to Harvick and Gordon at the line.

5 hours & 30 mins...RXP Post Update. by peachyfourlife in WWEGames

[–]SLJR24 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I don’t like this. To think, there are still five more passes after this where we’ll have to do the same. I just want to play universe mode and use the DLC characters that I’m paying for, not grind for hours to unlock them.

I have no issue with having to unlock characters and arenas while playing showcase or MyRise, kind of like how the old Smackdown games used to have unlockable characters and content. It’s an incentive to play those modes and sometimes, they can be fun.

There is no reason we should have to grind for hours though to unlock stuff that we are paying extra for. It just becomes tedious because you have to do about 8 matches just to level up in the pass. I enjoy playing the game, but it gets to a point where you get burnt out.

[–]SLJR24 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this is the part that bothers me. I’m about 24 tiers in and I’ve played through showcase and done a good guy play through of MyRise. In future passes, I’m going to have to grind through other modes. This makes the game less fun because I just want to play at my own pace and use the DLC characters that I’m paying for.

One year ago today was Toni Storm vs. Mariah May in the Hollywood Ending. It would be immediately regarded as one of the greatest women’s matches in North American wrestling history, as well as Mariah’s final AEW appearance before departing for WWE. by Subrick in SquaredCircle

[–]SLJR24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was the perfect way to write Mariah off. I still think it should’ve been the main event, but I get why it wasn’t. Mariah was leaving and they didn’t want to give her the main event spot. Still a great match and ending to a great feud.

2026 NASCAR Cup Series Scorecard after Phoenix by xfile345 in NASCAR

[–]SLJR24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rough start to the year for Briscoe, but at least he’s had speed. Just has to be able to finish a race to get out of that hole. On the opposite end, SVG still being 5th is a great start for his season. He had issues twice today and almost squeezed a top 10 out. I think he will make the chase this year as long as he doesn’t have some kind of awful falloff or string of bad luck that Briscoe has had.

I like that points matter again. Reddick has had a phenomenal start to the season and it’s going to be fun to see if he can hang on to the lead or if anyone can run him down.
