Agree on Showcase mode. Once you play through it, why do it again? It's cool and all, but such a small part of the game.
I've said for years, Universe mode (to a lesser extent Career mode) are where the improvements need to happen. Still a hard pass this year as well until they show those modes are fun to play and a Wrestlemania feels like a Wrestlemania. |

I would be all in on this if Universe Mode was worth a shit. Without it, I'd get bored very quickly just like I do every year.

The part about the issue with Brock's opponents for a potential Showcase sounds like either the wrestlers they wanted were asking for too much or the WWE personally got involved and nixed the idea.
In the past whenever 2K Games needed someone not on the WWE roster or in WWE's good graces for Showcase, they just offered a special separate deal in order to get it done. Believe that was how Warrior and a few others got included for games. |

Kurt Angle was probably the main holdup for a Lesnar showcase. CM Punk may have been but it'd have been easy enough to skip over SummerSlam 2013. Can't very well skip over WrestleMania 19.

Was on the fence about buying this game but now that I see LIL EDDIE is on the soundtrack I will now def get it. LIL EDDIE is the best of all the LIL named rapers.

Guys like Billy Gunn, Larry Zbyszko, and Los Matadores being in the game pretty much just confirms that they're doing the same thing they did last year - simply porting over the previous year's roster/DLC and adding to it.
And honestly, that's how it should be. If they've got the space to continually just keep adding and never really needing to remove guys (save for those who wound up on bad terms with WWE) that's how it should go. Nobody would lose sleep if General Adnan or somebody had to be removed, but unless they actually have to free up space it makes sense to just keep on adding. Having said that, the only real intrigue is which new wrestlers will make it in. Braun Strowman and Charlotte just got confirmed. Sasha was revealed earlier and of course Jax/Nakamura/Crews are all NXT edition exclusive/eventual DLC. |

Most of the NXT guys like American Alpha, and Mojo have been there by far long enough to be included. Same with Alexa and Carmella.

Wow.
Been saying for a while that they should cut showcase to focus on improving everything else, but I didn't think they'd actually do it. |

They really couldn't get the historic accuracy down due to copyrights and it made the experience really terrible for the young fan in me that remembers everything that went on. They're listening and I'm going to buy it straight up, hopefully they come through on the run-in booking and all. My Universe is going to be sweet if so |

Yeah, remembering the horrible interference of the old Universe mode... Ref gets knocked out, then it just lasts for a minute. Gotta be better than that.

Ladders have been a janky pain in the ass to use, so I'm actually not against that decision.It's possible that you could still set them up oin tje corner and outside. He might just be talking about opening them up to climb in-ring, when he talks about the limitations.
Either way, if it makes ladder matches less of a headache, I'm cool. |

The tag team mechanic of "every single pin I will break up". Not that someone wouldn't WANT to do that IRL - but having to knock the CPU off the apron just to get a pin sucked.

So apparently the very first batch of roster reveals IGN posted had numbers in the file names. For instance there was 0001-Aiden English right down to 0124-Viktor.
IGN Boards speculated that the numbers correlated to where they were placed on the roster if it were laid out alphabetically, and with the second batch of reveals IGN stopped adding the numbers in. However someone on IGN is tracking it and so far nobody else that's been revealed falls out of line with the initial numbers. Leaves room for the entire rest of the current roster, the NXT people that were on the NXT Edition box art, and some obvious legends. They've tried to keep all of the 2015 HOF class in except for Kevin Nash (unless they made him Diesel...even if so, annoying that they took Hall back out). Oh and Haku isn't returning either based on this. |

It takes serious effort to make Alexa Bliss look unattractive, even in video game form.

tbh I've never really noticed as I've never used the divas unless required to do so in a storyline.
Back when there were only like 6 or 7 women that made it into the game I would just deactivate them all in Universe mode as it got even more repetitive than it already was. |

Yep, ever since they started "scanning" people in the game it is painfully obvious who they take time to do that with and not.
They didn't scan ANY of the females in 2k16 or half the male roster. When they were working on 2k16 I was in the boat of "scan all or none" because the difference is that apparent and makes things seem "shitty". |

To be fair - that Alexa Bliss pic isn't too bad really. Best female wrestler put into a game so far.
That picture of Baraka with blonde hair though..... WWE vs Mortal Kombat |
