You could probably make a case for Mojo too, but I guess we'll see how DLC shakes out. Maybe there's an NXT pack aside from the one tied to the special edition.

Yea I would agree with Mojo. And haven't really been reading the roster releases so I figured he was already in.

Shame we won't get Tye at launch. But i really hope he gets in AS DLC he has quickly become one of my favorites since this Perfect 10 character. Not sure how high his stock is with WWE but I love the Perfect 10 character so much.

Reed is comin' atcha!

Sigh, another year without WWE Hall of Famers Tully Blanchard and Barry Windham. I was excited to see Arn made it into the game and I was hoping for a Four Horsemen reunion. Has Tully or Barry ever appeared in a WWE game?

If not, I wonder why? Do the not want to be in the game? Seems like that would be free money by just allowing your image to be included in the game's roster. Or, has THQ or 2K Sports never contacted them about it?

I know I'm biased, but I would much rather see Blanchard and Windham in the game than all of Mick Foley's characters', (Cactus Jack, Dude Love and Mankind) Seems like a waste filling three spots of wrestlers who have already been on the roster multiple times and leave out Legends who haven't been or current members of the WWE roster. (Gallows & Anderson) I can't understand how they were left out but AJ Styles made the cut. Didn't they make their debut a short time after Styles?

I'm afraid with all the changes that has happened in WWE, the brand split, the debut of all of the new Championship Titles, the game will be outdated on release day.

I'm a bit surprised Mojo or Tye missed the cut here's my DLC speculation besides the one pack we know of

Tye Dillenger
Mojo Rawley
Anderson and Gallows
Aries

At least in terms of current talent is all I can think of

Anderson and Gallows debuted months after Styles. Wasn't close at all.

Don't even like that there is a cutoff, roster is going to be 6 months old...

Anyone else a little disappointed with the lack of NXT wrestlers? Some I understand of just recently been called up but still not that many are representing NXT.

Not really. The tag, women's and NXT champ are in the game. Itami is in the game Guys like Gargano and Ciampa just signed to the WWE (they weren't on an exclusive wwe contract until recently). Roode is too new. So is TM61. So are the authors of pain.

Tye Dillenger is the only one that I expected to be in the game that should be.

Nah, I'm actually really happy for who's in the game. Can't think of anyone that was prominent on NXT earlier this year that didn't make the cut. Maybe Tye, like aholbert said, but that's about it.

You gotta remember that usually 8-10 talents get main TV time on NXT everyone else is just jobbing. Gargano and Ciampa didn't sign until April 2, the two guys that should be in the game are Tye and Mojo.

Roster cut off I think I read is around Wrestlemania.

2K's site has the list, but I prefer http://www.thesmackdownhotel.com/wwe2k17/roster/ because it's in alphabetical order.

I remember a lot of the first 2K15 hype articles saying that 2K was able to have a somewhat later cutoff on getting people in due to their scanning tech. I don't think that's been proven true though. Cutoff does seem to still be around Mania.

They will have a priority list for DLC, and I would imagine The Club are a high priority.

Bear in mind that a we had a hell of a lot of NXT call-ups this year. We would have had most of the NXT roster if this was set about 4 months ago.

2K usually make good DLC choices so I think we will get a few good additions.

Shocked nobody seems to care we've lost 25 legends barring DLC so far

I looked it up and AJ Styles debuted at the 2016 Royal Rumble. WrestleMania was held on April 3rd of this year. Anderson and Gallows made their WWE debut April 11th, 2016, eight days after WM 32. There's no reason why a tag team who has been on the main roster since April isn't included on the game's roster which will be released on October 11th.

Except, ya know, for reason that has been the reason for as long as I can remember. The cut off for getting characters in the game is around or before Wrestlemania. And Vince has final say on who goes in the game. It is not as easy to make these characters as everyone thinks. It's not as simple as roster updates in other sports games.

What exactly is hard for people to understand about this every year.

Be that as it may, those facts don't make the game any more enjoyable when I put it in my console and (hypothetically speaking here) the Universal and Women's titles are missing, the RAW and Smackdown stages aren't current, the women are still called Divas despite major language changes in WWE TV programming, major and minor characters I've been seeing on WWE TV for months are not present for me to use in matches, the commentary team for RAW is missing two featured personalities, the SmackDown and NXT commentary teams are completely absent from the game, etc. etc.

The state of play for this series, whatever the reasons which lead to it, is no longer acceptable in the current AAA sports game environment. Literally every single sports game has better fan service and post-release support than WWE 2K. Many non-sports games do as well; heck, League Of Legends frequently (as in, nearly weekly) adds new characters and/or updates old ones to the current graphical standard and gameplay balance of the game (the game's been around for many years, so some assets are out of date).

Let's be honest, the game's content was archaic before pre-production started. That's not acceptable.

Anderson and Gallows debuted eight days after WrestleMania. They have had more than enough time to create them and add them to the roster. And why would Vince not want one of his most popular tag teams in the game? Having Anderson and Gallows on the roster in WWE 2K17 would be what's best for business.
