Shouldn't have to pay extra to use those 3. Should be in by default.

$99 for 3 exclusive talents and a figure and it doesn't include the season pass. I just want the entire roster available from the beginning. If your just buying the base game you have to wait until it's released in late 2016/early 2017.

I would really like to have Shinske but i've been digital only for about two years now. I guess I'll wait until they release it.

2K is quickly ruining this series....if you buy a game everyone should be playable. If you want to make us have to unlock characters that's one thing. But half the roster you are going to wind up having pay additional cash for.

I agree, think I might have to pass on this even though I really want Apollo and Nak for my universe...

However, does anyone know if we can buy characters in a dlc pack separately? Like say Umaga, Rey Mysterio, and Rhyno were in a pack and I only wanted Mysterio. Do they still do that?

The value proposition of this edition is awful.

I don't want a Finn Bálor statue, trading cards, a piece of a ring mat, or a poster. I want a complete roster and a compelling video game. There's no way I'm paying $40 extra for three new characters, who let's be honest won't have radically different gameplay mechanics from the presumably 80+ avatars on-disc.

Business as usual for this series, unfortunately.

Plus they'll probably be free dlc down the road.

On the contrary, I'm gonna guess these characters will be publicly available behind a $10 pay wall in like February.

Unlike every single one of its contemporaries, this series' developer never meaningfully extends the game without expecting cash immediately in return, which is a big reason why WWE 2K in my opinion has easily the worst track record of post-release support among all AAA sports and fighting games.

How about a WWE 2k17 full/entire edition 2k?...

"Half the roster" is a bit of an exaggeration for having to pay for 3 characters (that will be available as DLC later this year) out of 100+ superstars on the roster. Everyone is overreacting greatly to this. This is something 2K and THQ have done for years. Personally, I think it does suck they are exclusive to this pack alone, but it isn't the first time they've done this. Having Nakamura, Crews, and Nia makes me want to get this. It's a pretty decent deal.

Furthermore, 2K is bringing this series to heights we've never seen before. WWE 2K16 was easily one of the best games in the WWE games series. 2K is better than what THQ would've given us. I expect 2K17 to be even better.

These guys are on TV every week....no logically reason to have to pay extra for them. There should be virtually currency earned by playing the game to unlock them. Or the option to just pay and get them. That would be fair.

Not free. It says in the article:

The NXT Enhancement Pack, which includes access to the NXT Superstars, is available on launch day for consumers who purchase the WWE 2K17 NXT Edition for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One;

PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consumers who do not purchase the WWE 2K17 NXT Edition can purchase the NXT Enhancement Pack through the game’s downloadable content program later this year

Buying this edition just gets you them at launch.

You can pay to get them down the road. I agree they should be in regardless, but I just don't understand the logic that 2K is ruining this series by having 3 popular superstars in a preorder. The game should be better this year
