AYYYYY PAPI
So I'm looking at the season pass and I'm still shocked they didn't include any of the four horsewomen yet included a weird hall of fame showcase. It's cool with get Samoa Joe, Alundra Blayze(who for some reason is against Paige), and Fujinami tho

Does the Hall of Fame showcase include all those characters for regular exhibition as well? Or are they only available in the showcase mode?

The season pass doesn't seem that bad if it includes all that poo poo for $25.

I might pick this one up on Black Friday for $40 and get a complete game for $65.

I like that they are making a new Showcase for most of the DLC guys. That way you'll get hype videos and such too. I hope they make an All-Stars style past v present video for Paige vs Blayze.

I skipped last years 2K game because I didn't have a PS4, plus it just sounded crappy compared to 2k14. This years installment sounds good though, and I plan on buying it.

I'm just wondering how Universe mode was last year? In 2k14 and earlier it was pretty lame. We're there any improvements? Also, was it the same Create a wrestler format as previous versions, or did they improve that?

Yeah if you didn't sim the Rumble or MITB winner, the plot flags for those events wouldn't work at all.

Which sucked because you could manually select rivalry types in Universe mode.

Really? I remember the automatic Rumble rivalry kicking in the way it should, but i don't recall there ever being baked-in MITB stories, you either manually used it or it wasn't used at all.

Unless you're talking about the way that you had to sim through a champion's match to use the MITB case. That was incredibly irritating. It also sucked that even even you had split rosters you could only run one MITB match and have one MITB holder (as well as one KOTR and, more justifiably, one Rumble winner). Limited your options if you wanted to run a parallel fed sort of situation. Granted you didn't really have enough guys to fill an alternative roster in 2k15, but you will in 2k16 from the looks of it.

There was a new CAW system that made the physical renderings look about on-par with the roster, but options for dress and tattoos and the like were significantly scaled back. They also let you use CAW slots to update main roster attire but there were few slots. And most of the other Create modes were cut, though they've apparently been restored for 2k16.

If you manually edit the Rumble match and play through, it won't set the winner's plot flag properly.

Yeah, Universe mode is the draw for me. Although I don't know much about early Stone Cold and it may be educational for me to learn who Mikey Whipwreck is.

And you didn't really get to choose the TYPE of rivalry, just the length of it, and all it was were the same two people having matches against each other for that whole length of time, with the only variety being an occasional run-in during a match with someone else.

That said, I still played the crap out of it.

And what's the custom music situation currently on the next-gen (or current-gen, I guess) systems? I've been kicking around a XBone upgrade, but drat if it isn't picky about ripping my custom music, and I can never figure out how I set up Windows Media Center to make it work before.

Current-gen consoles were basically designed with the idea that by the peak of their lifecycle, people wouldn't bother to own files of the music they listened to and would stream them instead (not a far-fetched concept, really). They didn't really anticipate a demand for on-disk custom soundtracks and the like.

You can select the type of rivalry in 2k15, it gives you a menu of hundreds of different options such as champion vs aggressive challenger, rival vs rival with guest superstar, etc.

So I've heard of PS4. Wasn't sure if it was the same for XBone.

And stream them from where? Do they currently allow streaming soundtracks from somewhere - or anywhere?

I mean, yeah, sometimes you skip entrances, but you always want to know that listening to Koko B. Ware coming out to "Bird Bird Bird" is an option.

Well, that's better. Did it make things more dynamic, or is it hard to tell with the bare-bones backdrop of 2K15?

Also, "two people have matches with each other every week with occasional run-ins" is very realistic for WWE booking.

Not in-game. The PS4 had no native on-disk music capability but it didn't have native streaming either, you'd get it through a dashboard app like Spotify or Pandora or whatever.
