Ditto.

I've never really played as the Legends in past games, but when I do, I always face other Legends.

I really don't care about them as I've never really wanted to play a match and see Yokozuna vs Jack Swagger or Jimmy Snuka vs Brock Lesnar or whatever. They just seem pretty pointless to me and their slots could have went to the guys who are actually on the active roster.

Another thing I've never liked, but what I probably dislike more than Legends, is older versions of a wrestler getting their own slot. It's slowly grown and grown to a point now where it's "normal" to have a massive chunk of the games roster, be filled with older versions of wrestlers.

HCTP: Undertaker & Old School Undertaker
SvR: Kane & Masked Kane - Undertaker & Old School Undertaker
SvR06: Hogan 80's & Hollywood Hogan & Hulk Hogan
SvR07: Mick Foley & Cactus Jack & Dude Love & Mankind
WWE '12: Christian & Christian (Retro) - Edge & Edge (Retro) - Kane & Kane (Retro)
WWE '13: Big Show & Paul Wight - Bradshaw & JBL - Cactus Jack & Dude Love & Mankind - Chris Jericho & Chris Jericho '99 - Christian & Christian '99 - Edge & Edge '99 - Hunter Hearst Helmsley & Triple H & Triple H '99 - John Cena & John Cena '04 - Kane & Kane '97-'99 - Lita & Lita '00 - Mark Henry & Mark Henry '98 - The Rock & The Rock '98-'99 - Undertaker & Undertaker '97-'98
2K14: Big Show & Big Show (Retro) & The Giant - Brock Lesnar & Brock Lesnar (Retro) - Chris Jericho & Chris Jericho (Retro) - Hollywood Hulk Hogan & Hulk Hogan - John Cena & John Cena (Retro) - Kane & Kane (Retro) - Kevin Nash & Kevin Nash (nWo) - Macho Man (nWo) & Macho Man Randy Savage - Ric Flair & Ric Flair (Retro) - Scott Hall & Scott Hall (nWo) - Shawn Michaels & Shawn Michaels (Retro) - The Rock & The Rock (Retro) - Triple H & Triple H (Retro) - Undertaker & Undertaker (ABA) & Undertaker (Retro)

I can see why there were so many for WWE '13, as it was based around The Attitude Era. But with so many doubles, alongside guys like Val Venis, X-Pac, Too Cool and so on, why didn't THQ just make a game based solely on The Attitude Era, with no current guys on the roster? Sort of like a "WWF Attitude 2" or "WWF No Mercy 2", so to speak. That probably would have sold quite well, and they could have also released WWE '13 that would feature the current guys.

As for 2K14, a game which I've barely touched, I just want to point out that the entire roster (including DLC), consists of more "old" wrestlers, than current wrestlers. To me, that's pretty bad.

I just don't get their infatuation with including former talent in the latest games, when we could finally have a game that features every single person that's on the current roster and some from NXT.
