Re: WWE 2K16 Season Pass and DLC Details Revealed, Trailer Included

I'm just going to say it.... we get Soma Joe who's barely been in the company for a year, and we don't get the Four Horsewomen, who've been in the company for way longer.

I could care less about the divas, I never use any of them. So it doesn't hurt my feelings that they didn't include them

Yeah I hardly ever use them either so it should have been nice but no big deal.

It's typical WWE propaganda. Next year's game will feature a 2K Showcase called "Lead the Diva's Revolution" and it'll be a big hit since they missed it this year I'd bet money on it. I understand it, but it's a terrible idea because as much as I love what these women are doing right now, there is no way they keep the momentum they have now all the way through next year. Hopefully some amazing creaters make some spectacular models of the 4HW or they add in some "Superstar Heads" of the women or something like that.

WWE doesnt drive the marketing or modes of the video game....2k does. WWE has final approval but 2k is the entity that pitches the overall theme and new modes added to the game. If anyone pulled the 4H from the game it was likely 2k.

Also, they locked the roster and DLC this summer. While fighters like Charlotte and Sasha were popular with NXT fans mid summer, they were pretty much non-existent to most WWE fans. There is a large segment of the fanbase who doesnt watch NXT.

Instead of it being some conspiracy by the WWE to save divas for next year, its more likely that when 2k locked the roster, they did not think that NXT divas would be missed. They didnt know that WWE was going to call up 3 of them to the main roster. They didnt know that Sasha and Bayley would tear down the house at Summerslam.

It takes time to create new fighters in this game. Not only their appearance but animating their move set. Take Sasha. I could be wrong but I dont believe they have her double knee on the turnbuckle animated as a move in the game. Same goes for the Bank Statement. Divas are the least used fighters in the game so its not surprising that 2k didnt think the 4H would be important. I think 2k never intended to add them to the game this year and got screwed over when WWE decided to take interest in the Divas.

The way you worded your argument holds not validity because they do have a decent sized NXT roster of people who haven't moved to the main brand. The 4HW were some of the most popular performers, and as, if not more popular than some of the male figures they put in.

They already scanned Sasha Banks.



But I do believe it has already been established that it was 2K's decision.

I mean, the DLC has Blake and Murphy. Those guys aren't even that popular with NXT fans.
As the women were in NXT at the time of roster lock, the only fair thing to do is compare their NXT prominence to others from NXT that made it in. I'd argue they've been more important in NXT than the Vaudevillains, Blake and Murphy, Baron Corbin, or even Hideo Itami. I'm glad to have those guys, but the women were more important than they were during development.

But it is what it is at this point. Hopefully as much of their stuff is available as options for creations to help make that easier.

Blake and Murphy were tag champs at the time of WM, I was personally surprised they weren't announced as being in game when it shipped.

But I agree that the 4HW are more important than a lot of the men. Itami maybe not but I agree with the others you listed.

You guys keep talking about these other NXT people but fail to acknowledge the fact that they're guys. We hear fans of these games bitch about the women wrestlers taking up roster spots every year and I guarantee you 2K has the usage data to back up all the guys that brag about how they never use the divas in the game every year and that's even when we were getting Trish, Lita and AJ in game consistently and the three of them are on a whole other level of popularity than these 4.

This. As horrible as it is to say. If you looked at usage data I'd wager less than 25% actually use the Divas.

They are males. There isn't one NXT diva in the game. ****, I don't even think that there is one new current diva in the game. 2k wanted an NXT presence in the game but they focused on the males because most people play with the male wrestlers.

There is a big difference between Scanning and creating an entire character with an accurate moveset and entrance.

Re: WWE 2K16 Season Pass and DLC Details Revealed, Trailer Included

As aholebert said,it's takes awhile to create these wrestlers. I think I saw somewhere that it's like 2 months.

Eva Marie and Emma are still NXT divas

Emma was on the main roster when it was finalized. I dont think she was sent back down until after WM.

As for Eva Marie, she wasn't even really wrestling when things were finailzed. Only reason she is in the game is because of Total Divas.

I had completely forgotten Emma's main roster run. As for the part about Total Divas, I really feel its such a shame of all WWE products it gets better viewership than NXT.

LOL. They have both been called up to the main roster before and were created years ago.

Well that's only because it's on regular TV and not just the network.
