The thing is Yukes made the great SYM/HCTP era games too. What happened at that studio between HCTP and SVR that injected them with a lethal dose of poison?

2k14 was actually a pretty good game with relatively few issues and a lot of customization under the hood. it is the first game I would compare favorably to HCTP. My buddy and I still play it. Hopefully 2K16 will represent an un-hosed 2K15.

Can you still make Divas in CAW though? If so, who cares, I'm sure they'll have some dumbass glasses and ridiculous gear to make Becky.

I wonder why not, didn't they already scan them? I'd laugh if it was something like it not being deemed commercially viable

That's really messed up, and also it's going to make whatever DLC they do release subject to heavier criticism

Like "you couldn't put Sasha Banks in the game, but you're releasing 3 additional unique models for Diesel?"

It's also super loving weird because Sasha Banks said she was scanned for the game like 8 months ago, and there are "I'm a Hugger" shirts visible on he crowd. It's like they either completely hosed up and ran out of budget, or WWE told them not to bother adding them.

My first thought from the tone of the release is that they may have data that almost no one actually plays as the Divas in these games. Like the people who do are very vocal and have valid points, but it's always a roster 1/20th the size of the male one.

Well it is kind of a self fulfilling prophecy. The divas roster has been largely terrible since Lita and Trish left. You have your Natalyas and Beth Phoenixes, sure, but the roster is mostly Dova Search contestants that nobody cares about* with horrible move sets. Plus they can't play in every mode. So yeah, I bet most time in the last ten years hasn't been spent playing Candice vs Torrie Wilson matches and the like.

That said, the Horsewoman would be better inclusions than some never will be like Baron Corbin

That is a big shame about the divas. Sometimes it's a change of pace to play as the divas. Still holding out for some good DLC this year.

I just realized looking at that screenshot that we are, through Austin mode, going to suffer through one million years of Austin/Kane/Taker WHOSE SIDE IS HE ON, which were all somehow compressed into the summer of 98. It wasn't good.

Didn't they already make us play through all that bullshit in WWE 2k13? Or whatever the Attitude Era one is?

I really hope they go more in depth into Austin's early career, cause I really don't need to play him vs Rock ever again

Best guess would be that the DLC planning was set in stone with whatever deal WWE and 2k made, and 2k decided to stop shelling out for the production phase, so the new Divas were cut before they could be implemented. Yuke's clearly planned on including them and there's no reason why WWE would nix their inclusion. I don't see any other explanation.

It was a hard decision but they decided to remove Sasha Banks from the game in the interests of maintaining Santino Marella's public profile.

Yeah there's absolutely no reason or precedent for WWE not liking or featuring women. You'd have to be an idiot to think that.

If you'd rather invest in the drama of evil empire WWE than the drama of evil empire AAA game publishers, that's your damage. There's plenty of opportunities to rub your dick raw either way.

Every game dev ever holds back content for DLC because idiots buy it. This is not new and its not because WWE is holding them back or they somehow can't fit them in a roster of 100+.

It's blowing my mind after complaining about last year that they'd leave money on the table but it's very WWE to do that.
