I'll be honest, I'll be disappointed if there isn't commentary that mentions the Network for $9.99

Yeah pretty much all modern sports games have product placement ads on replay screens / arenas. It's really not so bad as the ads are generally located where they would be in real life so it's somewhat immersive.

UFC has sponsorship ads so integrated into their product that it'd be weird if the octagon in the games wasn't plastered with them

Full price game, over priced DLC, and now there are advertisements in the match? gently caress that.

Boy, I think it's about time I tell you the difference between a man and a woman. A woman isn't a woman unless she's pretty. And a man isn't a man unless he's ugly.
I'm still surprised that Del Rio is in the card game.

And provided there aren't any spectacular flameouts, next year's will be loaded with indie royalty, at least on the NXT side.

Sounds about right for the last-gen stuff. Shame about the removal of create-a-whatever, I wonder if that's getting cut from next-gen too? And with the expanding featured content every year they just keep chipping away at generic CAW-tailored stuff like entrances and music.

Interesting about the Universe changes, they sound good from here. We'll see how they play in a few days, I suppose.

* - also looks like there's youtube footage of the last-gen stuff already. Looks just about the same as 2k14 but Reign's corner spear has a little more thump to it at least.

here's the roster, not counting the NXT guys (and maybe Rocky?). Two Del Rios, which is two more than we actually have.

Well, it was a nice idea at the time but animations don't really flow together, damage is generally minimal and it's open to abuse online. I'd be fine with them removing it for a year and bringing it back in an improved fashion. I'll miss the hell out of the crazy aerial/top rope moves and my Samoan Unprettier finisher though....

The removal of story designer, custom music and all the preset entrances is the baffling bit...

Yeah, the preset entrances is weird too. I'm assuming they at least kept Create an Entrance?

Once they introduced online multiplayer it was destined to be cut, honestly. For all the slack I tend to cut the devs they never really tried to get it down. At first your moves were as powerful as they were long, so you'd go online and get obliterated with a nutshot-nutshot-nutshot-nutshot-nutshot-superkick finisher. So then they completely nerfed them, not that it stopped Russian hackers from breaking the system again for online play. After that they were completely useless against the AI - you had a better chance of pinning a dude after hitting a standard signature than a custom finisher. They actually made your opponents kick out at 2 when virtually anything else would put them down. No matter how brutal it looked, it was the Angle Slam at its nadir of kayfabe power.

So yeah, it's no great loss. It'll suck to no longer have the ability to give your guys the Angel's Wings or a powerbomb facebuster or that weird Gory Bomb / Dominator hybrid or a chokebreaker or that hilarious chokeslam variant where you basically throw them into a backflip, but even when you could they were only good as transition moves. The Angel's Wings should not be a transition move.

I don't! Or that there was a spider woman. It's just that every female superhero always finds a way to get their boobs and their butt in the frame at once and maybe their face so they always do capoeira kicks or weaponized twisting backflips or looking behind themselves saucily.
