    This would be interesting and a huge change from recent years where part timers and old timers have been on the cover. Maybe a change to really focusing on the future.

      I really hope they don't change to focus on the future. A ton of sales come from those that only remember the past time. That's what makes me keep buying the games.

      I won't touch it unless it includes things from the past. I think they can focus on both as they have been doing.

          Seth Rollins is one of my favorites, so I'm happy he's the cover guy this year. That being said, I'm happy in general to see them using a current guy.

          I know a lot of people enjoy the former stars getting the cover, but I'm not one of them. I like to see current guys get their time in the spotlight, and in this case, it's very well deserved! I'm looking forward to seeing some footage of the game at some point.

              While I see your point, and I'm a fan of some of the older stuff they put in as well, that'd be extremely short-sided of them to do moving forward. For every fan of the Attitude era or any era prior, there's at least (total speculation) one fan of the current era buying these games. Does a mode highlighting the best of Hulk Hogan's career do anything for a 12 year old?

                Unfortunately for WWE, professional wrestling in general doesn't really do anything for a 12 year old. The average age of the WWE viewer is now into their 40s. In 1997, it used to be 23. It's a pretty radical demographic shift.

                  A trailer breakdown and looks like possibly confirmation of Kurt Angle in game.

                    I take this as they're getting rid of legends? I can't imagine that's the case, but that's how it comes off..

                      Re: WWE 2K18 Cover Athlete is Seth Rollins

                      I stopped watching the current product regularly a few years ago because of how terrible the writing has gotten, but I know they've got a deeper current roster now than ever before and I'm glad a current guy, especially with it being Seth Rollins, is on the cover.

                      I wouldn't mind them putting a legend on the cover maybe once every five years or so, but they've got so many other current guys in addition to Rollins that are deserving of a spot on the cover of these games. With that said, I grew up watching WWF and WCW in the late 90's and early 00's so I'm always glad to see as many of those legends in the game as we can get.

                      Of course, none of this will matter if the game is buggy to the point of being unplayable, as it has been the past few years. So hopefully they focus on fixing a lot of those bugs and adding more depth to Universe mode. I'll be looking forward to the PC release.

                        Hmm this stands out to me.  Sounds like a tagline for a My Player type mode emphasizing to carve out your own legacy.  Considering last year introduced promos I can see them doubling down on a single player, story driven, rpg like experience with branching storylines and outcomes.  Or maybe I am reading far too into a single line. 

                        I really hope the trailer doesn't indicate an end to legends and I highly doubt they would remove all legends from the game.  It would be pointless to do so.  Less wrestlers helps no one and removing legends would only hurt sales.  This would also be a harsh way to indicate the removal of legends. Almost like saying you old guys don't mean anything anymore it's all about the new generation.

                          Why all the speculation of them cutting out the legends? Just because of the cover? I really don't think there is anything to worry about guys.

                            Because the trailer is literally Seth Rollins wiping out the legends..
