We've all been there: you've set up a ladder between the ring apron and security barrier, pummelled your opponent senseless and now want to Powerbomb them through the ladder for one of those beautiful 'OMG' moments. Suddenly, a quick jerk of the right stick causes a change of direction and your stunning move misses the mark.

2K18 stops the frequency of this by introducing new carry mechanics. They've been talked about before, but they don't get the recognition they deserve. Being able to pick a rival up in a Powerbomb clutch then walk towards the ladder/table of your choice is something we can't believe we lived without in WWE games before now.

The carry mechanic makes 'OMG' sweetness more accessible. It also opens up new possibilities like Powerbombing foes from the top of Hell In A Cell through the announce table, or ensuring they land on top of steel chairs and other weapons.
