Yeah it would be cool, if it had a 'surprise/special guest' or 'superstar debut' mode, where you could select a certain wrestler to debut at a given time, or just randomly appear during a certain time frame...but unfortunately that's still manual now. You'd have to setup alliances/rivals and then create a new feud for that show, in order to guarantee they debut. But sure...you could set that up after the Royal Rumble, or whatever and it would work.

All in all, if you played wwe 12, 13 or 2k14 and you were ok with how the Universe operated, then you'll probably like 2k15. It offers a bit more control over the 'randomness', and it improves the 'reasoning' behind some of the matchmaking...still not perfect, and it still works best if you are willing to manually control everything...or at least 'add the ingredients' (setting up your own ally/rival settings, rosters, shows, and Rivalry/Feuds).

If you clear out everyone's allies/rivals and create it to how you like, then at least even the 'random' rivalries/matches should follow what you had set up...but to guarantee it, you'd need to setup the rivalry yourself (as 1 of the 3 per show allowed - then you can select how long the rivalry to play out 5-8-12 weeks or something).

Like the one guy said though...universe does have a fascination with creating teams and breaking teams up, so you may want to stay watching for that...or even turn those story types off completely.

The best thing about this year's edition is that the matches are actually fun to play, imo. I do like getting everything 'set up' and the matchmaking part, but now it's actually fun to play as well.
