What really has me curious is his vague "the Dean Ambrose in new attire is likely not a CAW or alternate attire."

So that mean's it's either something they put together just for that video or there's something else cooler going on. (Multiple Ambroses? They're going to do the current Dean/Seth feud as a Showcase DLC?)

I'm betting that he suspects that he was playing an older build that didn't have the new attire, but that it's since been updated to be the default attire.

Preview events rarely have the latest builds. When I played it at EGX it was the same build that had been doing the rounds for months. Apparently the build that's been at recent preview events has clearly not been a final build, with options greyed out and such.

I'd be surprised if the 2k15 roster is updated appearance-wise to how performers look now, considering how far behind 2k14 was.

I can't find a source offhand but I do remember reading the cutoff being later than usual this year, so things should be a bit more current hopefully?

You should be at the point where you can make Legendary KOTRs by actually filling your active slots and bench with your best cards, so start doing that immediately. Making the top 8 which really isn't that hard, even with lovely cards, gets you an automatic legendary. If you miss top 8, free epic. But yeah, you're at the point where any advancement is gonna be a grind.

Oh nowhere near. My best KOTR team is what I try to go with (I don't want to be one of those guys if I can help it) and it's maybe halfway through Epic. I have used my Maxed URs or SRs to train my top 5 cards, so it's possible my benched 5 are a little worse than other teams. I did just luck a second Bray UR in Exhibition which I think will give my team a slight lift. But I could really do with an Epic Pro or Legendary Single male. My current KOTR is going well enough and I have 2 days off work that I think I'll be satisfied enough with my team's growth by Sunday.

On the other hand, I snuck into the very bottom of Epic with this ragtag band of nobodies and have cruised to 24-9 and am signing off for the night in 4th place with my next opponent 1-29, so I'll at least be getting 1 monster upgrade, if not a new best dude (dear god I hope you can't get a loving item as your 1x epic).

If you look at the rewards, it very specifically lists support cards separately as rewards. You can only get wrestlers otherwise.

The SR KOTR I'm in at the moment is literally nothing but people cheesing it with UR/Epics and junk tag teams (presumably on their benches, too). COuld be sheer coincidence or a sign of how many people have caught onto this tactic, but perhaps there's some vague degree of matchmaking being implemented?

If someone's got 3 Epics, the only reason they'd want Super Rares is to complete their catalogs, I daresay some people are doing it with good enough intentions. Collect them all!

Can't believe that my Pro Epic, stats in the 700s, drops down to the high 100s without stamina. Was really thinking I'd be allowed to leave that card in the red for a while longer than normal.

2/2 on making it to the UR finals with my I Am A Bad Person lineup. This one was pretty close though, the guy I went against in the semis had Legendary Yoko, Pro UR Rey, and Pro UR HHH. Fortunately his other two cards were SR Ladder Cena and Epic Cameron so I was able to win Tag and Diva matches easily, or a match against Rey to be not speed.

Hopefully this gets me a UR good enough to eek into Legendary exhibition and get me a decent enough wrestler to get into Legendary KotR.

It controls 10 times better than his other games. It's mostly just a fun and hilarious time waster and it's free. I just had an 8 man battle royal that took place in two rings like the fall brawl. I lost when a La Parka rip off threw a baseball bat at me and I fell through a table on the outside.

I added a top five listing to the pro legendary tab to see if it did anything for people, looking for opinions on if I should bother for the other tabs after I get home, or suggestions to improve it.

Also I posted the spreadsheet to the supercard subreddit and the mod there (who made the original and I made sure to credit) deleted it because he "didn't want to confuse people" :lol:

Having Common and Uncommon stats would be nice, if only for completion's sake. Sure, they should be used as fodder for higher tier cards, but someone starting out will have to use that stuff, and it'd be nice to know what to focus on.

Since that Bazaa "review" of WWE 2K15 came out, I've pretty much locked myself in for getting a PS4 and this game on release day. I was looking at the DLC stuff and I'll probably shell out for the season pass cause it seems like some interesting content. Just had a couple questions though that I couldn't figure out from some googling.

A) The content packs list wrestlers in there that are almost certainly included in the regular game but say they're part of the content pack. Does it just mean that they're part of the story of that pack? With the hints Bazaa was dropping I'm starting to think there's some sort of "seemless" costume/era changing thing and all the guys in that content pack will change based on the timelines.

B) I think someone in this thread mentioned that getting the season pass wouldn't get you all the DLC... to what does this refer? From what I was seeing, the pass got you the accelerator, the 3 rivalry modes, the WCW and NXT packs, and the new moves packs. Is there something missing?

The Season Pass only nets you the Accelerator and the three rivalry mode packs. You still have to buy the WCW/NXT/Moves packs separately, though apparently at a discount for Season Pass holders.

Oh... wow. In that case I don't even know if I'll get the season pass then. The WCW, NXT, and Moves Pack were the ones I really wanted anyways. I can do without the rivalry packs and only wanted Paige for completionist's sake. I might still get it but that is really dumb and I do agree with people.

However, I'm not gonna complain about it because I am now super loving excited for WWE 2k15 and it's their job to take my money. First look at the UI stuff as well I think? % S is either % stamina or % signature I think, I imagine Fx# is finisher count. Green bar looks like health, blue looks like stamina.

The stamina thing is really what's sold me on this game, as nerdy as it is. The UFC games for a while did a great job of making a realistic fighting game work by having you manage and worry about stamina, excited to see how it works here.

I will probably be picking up a 360 copy since I will be off the week work that week and have the extra time. Then I will probably pick up the ps4 version to have the better game when that comes out, so if anyone is interested in a 360 version, I can send it their way for like $10-15 after the middle of November.
