Because that would involve attention to detail. And effort.

Today's reveal is legends-based.
So it appears that Tommaso Ciampa, The Brian Kendrick, and Nikki Cross have in fact been left out of the game. |

Excuse me did you just say Tommaso Ciampa will not be in the game? @WWEGames is going to get blocked by Tommaso Ciampa.

The theory is that Ciampa, Kendrick, and Cross were all off TV for long periods of time around the cutoff (which is before Mania season).
But all 3 were in the game and are still with WWE so it's kinda ridiculous that they wouldn't get ported over. |

I mean, I get Kendrick, but Ciampa had been making appearances since the rumble, and had a match at mania. And they had to know he'd be back around that time.
It was probably wwe's decision as I believe the roster is mainly up to them. |

I don't even get Kendrick. Yeah he was hurt but the 5 dudes that were left out from the cruiserweight division last year (Gulak, Ali, Dorado, Nese, Daivari) all got in and several of them weren't being prominently used or anything. Why pull out Kendrick just because he was hurt for a few months?
It's not like they thought he wasn't coming back or that they were on a tight roster crunch. |

Wouldn't be surprised if at least Cross and Ciampa got withheld so 2K and/or Yukes would have something interesting for DLC packs. Same for British Strong Style and Moustache Mountain both lacking Trent Seven in the game.

So looks like there will be a House of Horrors match and a play on some of the figures mash ups they have been doing recently.
Also a ‘big head’ mode which is useless. |

Would you pay for a naked attire mode for the gorgeous ladies? An extra $1.00 for the Dong mode?

I'm pretty sure they don't even consider the care how the in-game combat works anymore and this year's Stunner is probably the worst since Just Bring It. And there's some kind of big head mode?
We need a 2nd dev so they can swap every year like CoD. These guys are outta gas and need a breather. |

Surely they could do a free DLC pack to port across slightly modified 2k18 models of Chiampa, Nikki Cross, etc?

So besides the usual character models complaints and the laughable Lana model incident, 2K Games and/or Yukes even managed to botch stating what's included in the Season Pass and DLC in general for the game. Last edited by Emperor Smeat; 09-19-2018 at 07:28 PM. |

Still charging to edit stats I see.
Waiting for them to offer it free one year and act like they're Christ reborn for doing so. |

It can't even be a space issue, either - not one single person gives a fuck that Brutus Beefcake or Greg Valentine are in the game.
The Ciampa/Kendrick/Cross omissions are really just ridiculous. It's just baffling that they'd go out of their way to get everyone from Oney Lorcan to Bianca Belair to Ariya Daivari to the Street Profits to Tony Nese into the game yet with Lio Rush who barely was on NXT and Mike Kanellis who is never used as DLC yet they'd leave out three people who are still on the roster when they had base models for them already. |

2K Games pretty much pulls this stunt every year where they supposedly scour popular wrestling sites and/or Creation Suite, find out who are the most talked about or fan made NXT stars, and then pull them out from the current year's game either to sell as DLC or as "new characters" for next year's game.
This year its Nikki Cross while last year it was Dakota Kai who got the same treatment. |

BIG HEAD MODE.
Story mode has voice acting, my career looks overhauled, as does creation mode. |

I’ve either purchased the game when the price drops or not at all over the last few years. Closer to the latter this year. With RDR2 out the same month I’d sooner invest in that.

I saw a video showing the entrances of all the females in the game and I've got to say, most of their faces were terrible.
Notable mentions are Mandy Rose, who's lips look insanely swollen, Beth Phoenix, who seems to be sporting some sort of Jay Leno jaw and Charlotte Flair, who at some angles, looks like Weird Al. The commentating isn't really that great either as every entrance seems to start off with Michael Cole yelling some kind of introduction even though he doesn't really do that with everyone, so everyone's entrance is kinda similar to Sasha Banks' or Roman Reigns' when Cole yells "IT'S BOSS TIME!" or "THE BIG DOG!". Halfway through some entrances, Cole says things that you can tell is trying to give the commentary in the game an authentic feel but it just comes across as random and a bit weird. Talking of Mandy Rose earlier, her entrance isn't really done that well as she spends a good amount of it with her face blurred because it's quite obvious that her entrance animation was already done when she debuted her own entrance and theme and all that the guys at WWE 2KHQ have done is just added her own theme, music, graphics and slapped a blur effect over her entrance without even touching her animation and camera angles. |

Took an hour for the game to end up crashing on them.
Big Head mode looks pretty fun but performance-wise, doesn't seem Yukes fixed the lingering bugs the series has had for years. Also very minimalist for menus and stuff in terms of design. |

I pre-ordered the digital version and it's been the biggest fucking nightmare I've ever gone through for a video game. Trying to redeem the code I got gets me "the voucher is no longer valid" and I can't get any help from Sony Best Buy 2K or anyone else..they all keep saying the code is valid on their end and best buy blames 2K 2K blames best buy and Sony hasn't responded back to me
I'm never doing digital copy of a game again |

I only ever buy digital and never have this issue. Get the platform currency and redeem in the marketplace. Don't get codes from any store ever.
