Special guest referee match

[@anthonybynum11]

Wait we’re still in pre ?

[@death555ful]

Not really been playing much of it just creating stuff and trying to think of new ideas for it and been having buggy entrances and hair in CAS and having issues with pins not winning the fights and the name plate not being Deletable and playing at the start of a entrance and not in it’s normal position when the superstar is on the stage and the announcers NOT Shutting Up during entrances, I am just about ready to stop playing the damn Thing Until Everything Is FIXED.

[@miracle_ftw]

Rowdy Roddy Piper's Rampage Tour T-shirt that he wears during his entrance is actually the original WWF version.

[@AlexisStreams]

I have a couple of did you knows Did you know you can have multiple super finishers - i asked around on how to assign a super finisher and here's how you do it When selecting a finisher at the bottom of the screen you will have the option to press R2 Or RT to assign a super finisher the best part is you can have multiple Example for one of my CAWS Allison Kaslana i have the oblivion and the avalanche riptide as her super finishers Also Did you know you can Set Attires as a manager attire and a referee attire Same thing with Super finishers when you are at the attire screen on the bottom of the screen you can assign 1 attire to a manager attire and 1 attire to a Referee attire you can also set entrance attires as your portrait picture if you are creating a custom attire for your CAW Federations this is super useful cuz you dont have to use the In-game assigned attires

[@PenguTheKing]

Did you know there is a small nod to the Bray Wyatt tribute show in the achievements? One of the Achievements "Rise of the Megastar" has you defeat Finn Balor as LA Knight on legend difficulty. However the interesting thing is that these two have only ever had a single match, being the August 25th Episode of Smackdown which was the episode dedicated to Terry Funk and Bray Wyatt.

[@kadharefinley224]

I love that they mention AEW when you play as Stardust, really nice detail from 2K 🔥

[@blindsportslover]

Is that the first time they've ever done that? I thought they try to stay away from mentioning other promotions.

[@thedullfork]

Did you know AJ Styles and RVD have unique commentary when fighting against eachother? Have no idea how long that's been in the game but I just found it by accident like 5 mins ago

[@Guyincognito28282]

Did you know that The Fiend has a special voice taunt, which is his “Yeah Yeah Yeah” tribute to Luke Harper/Brodie Lee from WM37? ❤️

[@markjones9058]

Did you know that if you wrestle in UK arenas such as Clash at the Castle and Money in the Bank, the crowd will sometimes kick off with a "welcome home" chant when there is a UK or Irish wrestler in the match. It's hard to get it to work consistently, but I've got it to work foe every match in one of those arenas with JD McDonagh.

[@alanmanuel8511]

Did you know if all 3 people in a special ref match are in a team there’s special commentary lines about how the ref should be impartial and knows both competitors really well. I did it with Otis reffing Tozawa and Gable

Did you know there's a special commentary when playing a match between Roman Reigns and Bruno Sammartino?

[@chaoticwill2057]

What do they say?

[@eltis1138]

Hey SmackTalks, love the videos; I’ve got three suggestions for the “Did You Know”Series: “Did You Know” that if you have a knife edge chop as a normal move and you perform it the crowd will pay homage to Ric Flair by following it up with, “WOOO”. “Did You Know”if your opponent kicks out at 2 occasionally the crowd will throw up some 2’s and also shout: “TWO” Finally, “Did You Know” that if your opponent is Carmella and you perform a punch or standing strike to the her face, you can hear the crowd respond with the following, “Not the face”

[@marcushamilton6668]

[@AlexisStreams]

the dives can be improved to the opponents catching the diving wrestler, this year is an improvement but it could be a lot better

[@michaellavalleyiii]

Did you know: when your set your arena at any Japanese promotion the audience claps more then cheers. Which is an amazing addition. I believe it was in last years but I’m not entirely sure

[@eltis1138]

Hey SmackTalks I’ve found some more “Did You Know’s” “Did You Know” that this year there’s some new crowd chants taken from when the WWE are in England, for example when playing as Roman Reigns, you can hear the crowd chanting, “if you hate Roman stand up” also another chant is taken from when they had a live event in Plymouth, this one is for Chad Gable. On this occasion you can hear the crowd singing, “Gable, Gable Gable, Gable Gable Gable”

Did you know: you can have victory motions with weapons. If you compete in a last man standing match simply win the match but grab and hold onto a one handed weapon. "Microphones, Kendo Sticks, Baseball Bat, etc." when the referee counts to 10 your superstar with play their assigned victory motion but this time the weapon is in their hand. it's glitchy obviously but i think it's a nice touch. I did it with John Cena and a microphone.

Did you know there's multiple references to AEW/Indies on commentary as when you perform Ospreay's finisher (Butterfly Lift Twisting Cutter) Cole will call it Stormbreaker. If you hit Cody Rhodes' Cross Rhodes Trinity as a super finisher. Occasionally Byron will say "Goodbye and Goodnight" which is a popular catchphrase of Kenny Omega

Hopefully they will fix the referee reaction time to start counting. Maybe in 2k65 they will fix it

[@Itsnotsaturday]

I’m not sure if it’s just me but if you put an alt attire on a wrestler and then use them as a manager in a match the alt attire doesn’t work and it sets them back to their origin look, tried different wrestlers and it happens to them all.

[@taecapone8299]

It works you just have to assign them the attire again after you set the match rules, but hopefully they patch it to where we don’t have to do that

[@gilperea8819]

3:03 this feature is SO long over due.. Thank God they brought this to the games, last time this was featured in a video game it was in 2005 from Day Of Reckoning series the dive system in my opinion has been trashed ever since! Took em 18 years but glad it’s in 😂

why don't they also give us the finishers of days of reckoning i like their impact

[@asxton6229]

Did you know Johnny Gargano and Austin Theory have special rivalry commentary

[@RealCDM_YT]

Here's a fun fact: if you play as Roman Reigns in the MITB arena (which was located in London England) the crowd will begin to chant, "Sit down if you hate Roman!", just like real life when he teamed against the Uso's, it's the only time the crowd will chant this in the game
