it's a bit too hard imo

[aidam17]

Alright, I'll admit that I'm not very good at this game so please keep simple answers like "it's not game's fault you suck".
I'm playing career mode and atm my guy is 60 overall so decent opponents can do big damage quickly against me. Now I'm at point of the story where I'm trying to get into MITB match. At normal difficulty beating Roman Reigns is decent challenge but trying to beat him and Zayn in handicap match is just too hard for me. Reigns reverses most of my signature moves and he needs to hit one to basically end me. Change of difficulty doesn't work because it looks like once you start the match it's no possible to do that.

I'm just dissapointed that it's such a grind to get attribute points and if you aren't experienced player some matches are ridiculously hard.

Alright I got this off my chest so back to the handicap match I go.

I've not played it much but it does seem like they have adjusted the difficulty a bit from last year.

Personally I like that though as I've found the last few ones far too easy to the point where when playing the career mode I would deliberately not level my character in an attempt to make the game more difficult.

I know losing can be frustrating but playing where you win easily all the time is just as bad if not worse in my opinion.

[Emmagination]

Yeah, I also feel mycareer is a lot more difficult this year. Opponents are smarter with their reverses so it's more difficult to make them waste them (by stomping them on the ground, for example) and your character is paper thin...one good slam and one of your bars is gone...
Not to mention your own reversals are harder to pull off.

Also, not sure if it's just me but it seems the pin escape minigame is a bit off...if doesn't stop when you press so unless you press half a second before it reaches the green bar you're going to overshoot it.

[aidam17]

yeah I understand that I was too easy last year but I think they went a bit far to the other side now if you ask me...it's good for experienced players but I'm not sure if it's good way to bring new people into the game

[곰GOM]

I like the difficulty alot it makes me more inveted to in instead of just winning everything

[Mr. Gepardas]

Yeah the mycareer is more difficult this time. I found it much harder to reverse (compared to other wwe 2k games) and pull off the pin escape minigame. Like another user noticed pin escape is a bit off this time, feels delayed - almost seems like it becomes luck based. Sometimes once you press it when it is on the green area it still keeps going for like a half second, but other times when you press it, just before it reaches green area it does not have a delay and immediately shows that you pressed it too soon. Which I have to admit is annoying, because now the only fights I won in mycareer were when opponents did not try to pin me.

[aidam17]

I don't really have problem with pin minigame and in normal matches I liked the difficulty but now I'm just stuck with this match :D

[GeT_Yoshimaster]

My Career matches always been really hard, even in 2k17, I agree that the progression is bad, not worse than NBA but they should fix this, just try to force roman to use all his counters before trying your signature moves

[Tinned Whale Oil]

I only played universe yet but it does seem the game is harder. I played 15-17 before.

[OVTSIDER]

yeah, in my career, my superstar who has only 60 points face Roode for the title and the damage I take are just BS !

[NewRaven]

It happens that I lose to CPU on normal difficulty sometimes... the last time that happened to me WWE games weren't even made by thq/2k. I actually love that. However, with the changed reversal timing, the smaller reversal window and the more smarter CPU KI, I totally understand this game may be a bit hard if you're not used to the series. Sadly, if changing the difficulty isn't really an option, I don't have any tipps to share.

But as far as the grinding goes: damn, you really get very few VC this year... and considering you have to unlock a lot of the things twice (buy loot crates for vc to get it and then unlock it for vc) this damn sure becomes a hardcore grind...

[GeT_Yoshimaster]

Last year you had almost 3500 VC for a 4 stars match, now you have nearly 500

[aleX]

Vc is hard grind now, maybe too hard...

[noodlecake]

Put it on easy in the options in the menu when you're walking around outside of matches.

[Ice_King]

Yeah I'm pretty much getting my ass kicked match after match.

[DeadM8]

I like it actually having it being difficult previous years it was too easy I play on Legend and it feels harder
