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

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

To the point people are saying that many players don't play with the women, I'd like to say (and yes I know I'm only one person) but if there were women who were worth even playing, I'd be using them. The 4 Horsewomen, Paige, Natty, Emma, Lita and Trish would've been perfect for my universe. I'm not going to keep either Natty or Paige atop a womens division and have them feud for however long my universe goes, that is why I haven't used women much in the past.

Here's my thing:

Assuming 2K is being straightforward and honest with us and the assets for DLC characters do not exist at all before the game goes gold - i.e. the final in-game meshes / animations / other assets for characters who have never appeared in a WWE 2K game such as Diego, Fernando, Blake, and Murphy do not exist right now - I don't see any reason why 2K could not have changed their content pipeline priorities and replaced the NXT pack entirely with Sasha / Becky / Charlotte / Bailey. They would not be adding any new work, it's still eight man-months. We would be trading out the two tag teams for the four Divas, but that's a trade I'd happily make.

I don't understand why they couldn't just make a call to change course.

Anyway, it's water under the bridge now.

it's because they were not approved by wwe. everything that goes into the game (even blood) goes through wwe approval. wwe simply did not want them in the game for whatever reason that was. WWE has been trying to get THQ/WWE To remove blood for years and this same thing happened in 2011 when jericho returned before the 2012 rumble they did not approve him to be in the game.

Now see this was everyone's assumption but I swear it was posted that it was in fact 2K's decision and NOT WWE's say as to whether they were in the game or not. I personally thought they should have been in it simply because they were the ones at the top of the Women's division in NXT and would like the top people in each division, especially the champ and former champ at the time at least (Banks and Charlotte)

You do know that blood is still in the game and its off by default, right? And I'm curious as to where did you hear that WWE wants blood removed from the game.


Honestly after thinking it over the past few weeks I just think 2K put their priorities else where and underestimated the popularity of the 4HW amongst its audience. Honestly, in previous games did anyone play as the divas? I sure as hell didn't.

And this was the point I made earlier, no one really played them because they weren't worth playing. I'd say out of the past two games AJ Lee, Paige and Natty were the only ones I wanted to play but still didn't because lack of great women wrestlers.

I am feeling the same way as you are. At first I figured it was WWE but that doesn't make sense anymore. I think they just didn't think about the popularity and now the backlash from fans. But I did use the divas in my universe on WWE SVR 11 every now and then.

Well, technically, Fernando and Diego have been in a wwe game as Epico and Primo

If we look at the main roster after DLC its only missing Charlotte, Becky and Sasha which is not bad at all and i think its the most accurate in terms of the main roster that i can recall, now if we include relevant talent from NXT we are missing Carmella, Bliss, Dana, Asuka, Gable, Jordan, Dillinger, Bull, Rhyno, Crews and Crowe

Don't forget Bayley in the NXT stuff as really relevant and I would put Dash & Dawson as well as Mojo Rawley (because he is teaming with Ryder now) as missing from NXT but other than that they have a great roster. Many of those mentioned as well didn't start receiving pushes until mid/late summer, well after the game roster was finalized.

You don't seem to understand. The reason people didn't play as diva's in past years is because they've barely been relevant. But, now in 2015, they're getting the biggest pops on the roster and headlining shows. For the first time since Lita and Trish's great rivalry, the diva's are extremely relevant and a featured focus of the WWE's most talked about brand right now. Yet, this was ignored by someone. In a year that not only featured Paige, Nattie, Bellas, and other divas plus the Four Horsewomen AND Lita and Trish as DLC? I would guarantee you that many, many people would play as the divas.

Damn i forgot about them, although I don't think Dash and Dawson really got a solid push till the cut off point

Lets slow down with that. They are getting some of the biggest pops in NXT. You cant say that when it comes to WWE. Even Sasha (who is awesome) gets a pop that would be described as decent at best.

Also, Paige, Nattie and the Bellas were in last years game and a large majority of people didnt play with them. Im not saying that the 4H shouldnt be a part of the game. I just dont think the inclusion of Sasha and Charlotte wouldve cause people to play with the Divas alot.

Neither did Jordan and Gable though, I was just putting them in there because they seemed to be the only ones that are doing anything now that aren't in it.

Pardon my ignorance, but what exactly is NXT? I see a lot of people talking about it. Admittedly, I have not followed wrestling on TV in a long time. Maybe 10 years or so... Is it like a development promotion or something where they push young talent? I bought WWE2K15 last week (on sale on for 15$ on XB Live) to get back familiar with the game before 2K16. Though I have only been playing the showcase modes and a few exhibition matches here and there.
