So are guys like Christian, Randy Orton, Sheamus & Daniel Bryan just not playable unless you pay money or what?

I'm sure Orton / Sheamus / Bryan are in the main game. My guess would be that those packs include alternate costumes that line up with how they looked in 2011.

What really has me curious is his vague "the Dean Ambrose in new attire is likely not a CAW or alternate attire."

So that mean's it's either something they put together just for that video or there's something else cooler going on. (Multiple Ambroses? They're going to do the current Dean/Seth feud as a Showcase DLC?)

Last year some friends and I tried playing MDickie games and it was one of the most hilarious experiences of my life. They weren't good, but they were so weird and broken that funny poo poo kept happening and we couldn't stop. I'm happy he's still making games.


This is pretty much MDickie in a nutshell. His games aren't great but in terms of sheer insanity they are the best.

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.

Also the CAW actually looks like he belongs in this game rather than a cartoon or whatever.

I don't really miss non-TLC ladder matches, because they played like poo poo in 13/14 against the AI. Even on the hardest difficulty it was pretty much just throw opponent out of the ring, run up and grab the belt 1 minute in to the match.

The one I really wish was in was 2 out 3 falls because that would have been a cool showcase for the stamina system.

I think people are mostly comparing it length-wise to the NBA2k My Career which pretty much goes on indefinitely/until you retire. Though that's not much of a good comparison because NBA My Career is even more repetitive than the WWE one.

The season pass thing is already making me doubt I'll get this but I would love to hear your thoughts

From someone who actually owns the game:

+ Graphics
+ Animations
+ Stamina system / in-game wrestling
+ Import logo feature is awesome for updating attires

- MyCareer kinda sucks
- Severely reduced match types
- Far fewer CAW parts. Like 100x less
- almost no legends on roster
- Too easy
- Season pass feels like half the game

Yeah I've been burned way too many times on a season pass. Typically by the time it's all the way out, it's already on sale. There was no reason to buy the season pass right when the game came out.

I wouldn't be surprised if the NXT pack comes out before the first Showcase DLC too.

They actually thought people would want to buy this?

I mean it had some fun matches but it's not something I'd be chomping at the bit to pay money for.

I think it's the only way to get Edge and Christian in the game. The only one that seems worth the $10 is the Warrior one because that's adding like 6 or 7 new wrestlers.

For anyone still playing 2K15 - how the gently caress do you do a corner finisher? I gave my CAW the top rope brainbuster as a finisher and never get the prompt to do my finisher. When I whip a guy into the corner, I can't figure out how to place him on the top rope. Any hints?

Press up on the right analog stick. This lifts the opponent up to the top rope.

I'm still so loving confused. I sat the guy on the top rope and never got the prompt to hit my finisher. Hitting the circle button just does a normal superplex. I don't know if I'm missing something or what but it's incredibly frustrating.

Check the animation for your finisher. Are you sure it's from the top rope? In their terms "Corner Finisher" sometimes means your opponent is down on the mat while you're just standing near one of the turnbuckles.

I feel like they'll probably change some stuff like that on the fly. If a modder can do it in a week on 2k15, they can switch out someone's hair by the time 2k16 ships.

If Owens isn't in I'll be real mad

2k15's cutoff seemed to be Wrestlemania, so I imagine he'll be in. If I had to guess, the NXT roster will be:

Balor
Owens
Itami
Zayn
Breeze
Sasha
Charlotte
Neville (wouldn't be surprised if he has outdated attire and entrance)

So your letdown exclusions would probably be Becky and the Dubsteppers.

The actual gameplay in 2k15 is better. The creative suite took a huge hit and the single player stories suck compared to 13s and 14s.

It's worth about $20 if you like wrestling games, but now 2k16 is coming out in 16 weeks.

I just realized that it the Stone Cold-focused story mode for 2k16 is legit, it likely won't have Owen Hart in it. That sucks, Austin vs. The Hart Foundation was an amazing feud.
