What was funny about what I said?

You predetermine its a downgrade but say it will probably sell them more copies and is the rightbusiness decision. I just thought that was funny.

Ski's was funny because he'll be the first one in line to buy it.

So 2k kept yukes

sent from Droid DNA

Aren't they only keeping yukes for a while not permanently?

They're keeping Yukes because the WWE still wanted to release WWE 14, so 2K didn't have enough time to make their own game. That's why they also brought some of the THQ staff in as well.

No joke that it will only appear on shelves for a few weeks out of the year?

I'm disappointed, OS.

Actually I heard that the box is huge but the game will only play for 15 minutes.

I'm not upset by this. Rock is WWE's biggest star right now, and current WWE champion, so why not have him be the cover star?

For me it's a downgrade. However, for WWE and 2K it will likely be an upgrade. Perhaps I should have put "in my opinion" after my sentence.

Re: The Rock to be Featured on the Cover of WWE 2K14

Except for it not really being an opinion on this one. This one isn't really subjective. There's no, downgrade of putting a bigger star and money maker on the cover of your video game. That's like having Kevin Garnett on the cover of your NBA game one year and then Michael Jordan the next and someone saying it's a downgrade because they don't like Michael Jordan. You can try to protect it as your opinion, but it's not an opinion that Michael Jordan on the cover of the game as opposed to Garnett is a better move, it's a fact.

Does it really matter who is on the cover?

That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. So basically, you're saying I can't have an opinion? From my perspective, as a fan, I think it's a huge downgrade. We go from a guy that I think is currently the best wrestler in the world to a guy that I wish would just go back to making movies. Is it going to influence whether or not I buy it? Absolutely not. From a business perspective, it's a great move. I'm sure there are a lot of casual fans that might buy it seeing The Rock's face as opposed to seeing Dolph Ziggler, The Shield, CM Punk, John Cena, etc on the cover. That doesn't mean I have to like it. It's another one of those scenarios where I fit into the crowd that is the minority. But just because I'm in the minority doesn't mean I can't have an opinion on it.

When it comes to sales, it probably does. I think putting anyone from the Attitude Era on the cover is going to boost sales with casual fans that may no longer even watch the product. As I said, The Rock on the cover is a great business move.

Re: The Rock to be Featured on the Cover of WWE 2K14

and he won't even be wrestling with the company when the game is released, that's bright. His contract ends in a month!

Like he's not just going to sign another contract lol. He's already scheduled for next years Mania.

Regardless I can't possibly see how some of you guys are actually serious. Do you guys buy the game for the game or the cover? Serious question.

Re: The Rock to be Featured on the Cover of WWE 2K14

I can't lie, I'll be buying this game day 1. There's so much potential with 2K having input now and eventually taking over. My expectations for commentary are pretty high. But since the rock is on the cover, I'll be picking it up that Tuesday. NOT at midnight release!!!

Re: The Rock to be Featured on the Cover of WWE 2K14

Yeah this is a really good business decision, I like but like others doesn't matter to me who is on the cover, wonder if this means he will win tonight and keep the belt a little longer. Would imagine they would want him as the champ on it....hard to imagine a wrestling game for WWE and one of the top guys who is wearing the title not on the cover. What would that say about your champ? I just can't imagine Cena or Punk holding the title and not being on the cover.

Also as far as Yukes still doing the game read that 2k will be working with Yukes and there will be a transition to just 2k over the next few years. One thing I hope 2k does for this year is at least make the commentary better. That alone will be a big improvement and a step in the right direction. Maybe they can do a little graphic improvement?

You definitely got the joke.
