Wiz released the two tracks he did with Cena and um... I know Cena hasn't rapped for a while, but he used to have a little flow, from what I remember, but he's rhyming slower than his rap promos on these.

I got second in Legendary KotR this morning, but my prize was a pair of Nikki Bellas. I max pro'd her but now I can't win with her in my team. Good thing I kept my pro epic Natalya.

Sometimes having one card more powerful than the rest of your team can screw you because it will bump up the competition you get. I've tried a couple combinations, and the only way I can get a consistently good record in exhibition is to keep my team fairly balanced.

Take me to your Shida

I finally caved and decided that I had a higher chance of cheesing UR KotR to get a UR pro than I did of doing Epic KotR normally and getting a singular epic. It's working, of course, 28-3 right now with an easy path to the finals as long as I stay in first, but it feels wrong. Dammit 2k, why do you have to make this neccessary :(

Also I drew a UR Paige from the exhibition board so I'm sure I'm going to be one of those people that has one too, soon :argh:

being at epic++ with an UR Pro Naomi is a nearly guaranteed win vs everyone with the SR Pro Paige.

$25 for THAT?!? Please... I can't believe they expect people to pay $85 for all that as a bundle for withheld content. Putting Paige with the $25 season pass is ridiculous too

Edit: The IGN US description makes it sound as if the Season Pass only is for the three 2K Showcase storylines, Accelerator, and Paige. They couldn't be withholding the DLC Wrestlers from the season pass, right?

I wouldnt be surprised if the characters that are listed in each storyline are DLC character packs, well the ones that wouldnt be on the normal roster anyway...

haha so on top of everything we knew, the season pass is not even getting all DLC! 2k is putting on a loving clinic of exploitable DLC practices.

To A Brand New Galaxy
A 'Season Pass' which doesn't include half the content is loving atrocious. And when it's this concrete before the game is even out, that means you know it's all already finished and locked on the disc, so it's really data being held to ransom rather than additional downloadable content.

... But I want nearly all those people in my game. More moves is obviously always good, even if technically they're just hidden moves and not actually 'more' moves.

My utter disgust for these practices and the complete outrage of asking consumers to pay what, $45 for it all, on top of pre-ordering at full price for Sting, is at odds with my desire to be able to use Paige, DDP, Regal and Emma.

See, it's poo poo like this that pushes 2K15 further back on my "buy" list. I am a total sucker, so I was planning on buying it even with the lack of gaemplay footage and poo poo lately and even with the custom music lacking this year (I know that isn't on 2K really, but still).

I mean, I would totally buy a season pass for WWE like I've done the past three games, but to not include all the announced DLC is scummy as poo poo.

EDIT: Found this comment on the IGN article:

A wrong person posted:

"No John Morrison? No Starship Pain? Also, don't care if it has DDP, or the diamond cutter. Since Randy Ortron's RKO is in the game already, same thing, more brutal."

This is it guys, the RKO is more brutal than the Diamond Cutter. I believe there is a strong piece of evidence that supports the Diamond Cutter as being the better move; DDP says "BANG!" which we all know makes it twice as devastating.

Having Bigelow and Honky Tonk Man is pretty cool. But yeah, Season Pass looks like a loser. The Warrior path might be worth it, but the other two are a solid meh.

Also, I'm not sure how many new moves were in the 2k14 moves pack (which I think was packaged with some other actual wrestlers anyway) but 30 seems a bit skimpy. Those had better be some sweet-rear end moves.

You don't get to be outraged AND buy the game.

Speak with your wallet, otherwise your seething hatred is useless because buying it and the things justifies their doing it. Let 'em tank a year and eat it and realize that it's a poo poo way to market a game that doesn't have episodic content that's more or less optional.

It's one thing to add on Skyrim missions when you can buy the game and not the DLC and still have the whole game for the most part. It's another to have a game that doesn't REALLY have the same sort of content delivery while playing it, and then parcel it out into $85-200 worth of bits. Speak with your cash, which is to say, buy something else with it.

Waiting for the Gold Edition in that case, because you know there will be one. Especially if it comes out on PC, since there will be very little to stop people from unlocking content.

I'd be happier if they just cut down on annual releases and updated the rosters occasionally, because it's not like they ever need a full new version every year unless their engine is drastically improved or they can offer radically new features. 2k15's Career mode seems to be doing that, but can they offer that every year in next-gen releases? They may need to slow down production for the sake of just having a complete game in the first place - or maybe the DLC schedule is them just admitting they don't.
