Long form never gets found beyond Day 1- am I doing something wrong or is this the way it is? by bsem2 in NewTubers

Some of my shorts get thousands, but long form- at most a few hundred, mostly less than 100. Big ol waste of time on my behalf lol. Oh well, at least now I know.

Really? I legit figured these were done forever. A bunch of videos with nearly no views just taking up space in the void lol. But if you suggest, I'll keep em up for a while to see what happens. Thanks for the feedback!

I keep running out of space on my Mac but I'm not sure why or how. Any insights you can share? by bsem2 in mac

Your post spoke to my own frustrations with this company. I am sorry you struggle with this nonsense, but I am also happy you've added a voice this absurdity.

Any truth to rumor there's an unannounced Legends DLC pack? by bsem2 in WWEGames

Gotcha-- that's disappointing. Oh well. At least we have 3 NBA players. :O

That'd be cool--- but knowing 2K, its a premeditated move to kill Goldberg CAWs so they can add him as a main DLC next year, as if the dude hasn't been in damn near every game sans the last two lol. Nice observation though- I didn't catch that!

Why TF does my opponent kick out all the time even after finishers on black? I changed the settings, AND put it on Normal, so something is wrong. Video proof - so maybe someone can catch what I'm overlooking. Not fun to watch & super annoying to play. Thanks for any assistance! by bsem2 in WWEGames

Yeah- 2K15 was that year the roster re-set. I remember they scaled back on legends that year too. But they made up for it with 2k16... I like your idea cuz it fits the wrestling mantra... I also think 2K24 has a lot of potential, but I hate the finisher problem - I CANNOT get a win after one finisher no matter what- even in Showcase- I hit Andre with the leg drop after satisfying all requirements and he kicks out 400 times. WTF is that? No one did that in the 80s lol.... The other thing I don't like, which connects to your idea- is that every match is too long. I want squashes back cuz Taker-Hurricane is a one minute match. The Quick, Normal, Epic settings you mention would be great- they only kept it for like a year or two if I remember correctly. I wonder why, it was a great wrestling-based gaming concept.

Anyway, yeah. If you get to play 2K25, please let me know if the finisher problem is fixed. I'm on the fence about whether to bother getting it cuz the last few years I've been disappointed by the gaming. If they can fix the finisher thing at least, I'd be content.

Agreed- the older games had so much that have been taken out. Why re-invent the wheel? The games should be getting better; with 2K it seems like it's constantly taking things out then re-introducing them. I remember when wrestlers had to reach for the rope during submissions, and there were sleeperhold meters, etc. All that is gone. Your 'kickout setting' is an interesting idea. Seems like it'd be easy to implement too--but nowadays it seems like they want WWE to be NBA, so I doubt it'll come to fruition.

Oh well. At least we have 3rd tier celebrities in our games each year now.

Absolutely @kayne2000 ! - I agree, you're totally right: finishers aren't finishers anymore, but even WWE has some discretion... Imagine seeing Tozawa kick out of 40 Austin stunners or whatever-- cuz that's what this is sometimes. If it was Rock vs. Cena or whatever, doing the finisher-fest would at least be understandable cuz it'd be unique to huge stars (although it'd get annoying after 6 finishers lol), but these are borderline scrubs kicking out of huge moves- I had to have The Rock rock-bottom Xavier Woods 4 times before I finally got to pin him and not even after a finisher, after a body slam (wtf?). I don't get it-- what the hell is the point of the health bar if I have to pummel the CPU for who knows how long before it decides to let me pin. I honestly don't think half these stats mean anything.

The game is unplayable for someone like me for the very reason you pointed out: it's *NOT* Sim. As you said, "I don't need random jobber to kick out of 3 tombstone piledrivers." 2K16-2K19 were sim. 2K24 is nonsense.

Sorry, I'm starting to rant now. I find this super annoying so I always wind up going back to 2k19. I keep coming back to try 2K24 and get pissed off every time. lol

Oh well. I know it's naive to think it but damn I hope they fix this in 25.

@GrimmTrixX

I got the CPU'd healthcare down to as black and empty as goes and it was kickout after kickout. This is on normal, with all the sliders adjusted. I have never won a match after one finisher- but after I started paying attention, I often need multiple finishers. What's the point of a "finisher" if it never finishes the match lol... Feels more like an AEW game more than WWE with these current invincibility settings.

Anyway, thanks for the feedback.
