In 2k15 you go in to the numbered contender list, press X or something and you can reorder the rankings. I did it dozens of times.

As long as the champ isn't currently in a feud it will book them against whoever you chose to be #1
Sort of. If there wasn't a title feud the AI would set up a #1 contendership match (usually a multiman) on the go-home show for whatever PPV it was. Sometimes it wasn't even #1-3, you'd have 4 or 6 in there, usually because either the other ranked workers were in existing feuds or the AI in its wisdom put them in a random undercard match.

The Scoop Man says they didn't send out review copies which basically guarantees this game is a turd and 2K knows it.

Has anyone ever gotten review copies of the WWE game? I mean, it's not exactly a major series, and I can't remember any time I saw reviews of it that were before launch other than 'I got a leaked copy here's the poo poo'.

I got review copies from them for years when I wrote game reviews for a newspaper's website, though more often than not they hosed up the shipping and I would only get them the day before, the day of release, or in some cases, several days later which was pretty goddamn annoying.

Some larger sites and magazines do still get review copies, but last year (and this year, it seems) even they didn't get them until the day of release.

There's also been a severe lack of playable builds at public events where other 2K games have been, which is also a classic red flag of a game being crap.

Don't preorder this poo poo. Ever. Preordering does not benefit you in any way. It only guarantees you get to pay full price for a product that, as far as you or anybody else knows, is sub-par to downright turd. Shops are not going to run out of stock. PS. And Live aren't going to suddenly pull the download at midnight of day 1. You have nothing to lose by waiting at least three or four days for reviews to come out. Preorders only exist to serve the publisher and perpetuate half-arsed development cycles.

On the other hand, if you're a Gamer's Club member at Best Buy, they give you 20% off new games and a lot of times give you a $10 reward certificate if you do preorder, so you're essentially paying $38 for a new game and getting it on release. Then if you decide to trade it in, you can usually get around $30 or $35 dollars for it.

I'm planning on waiting after release and watching extended streams/videos and seeing how repetitive MyCareer gets when you actually get into the main sequence of your career. Also how many bugs there are.

I'll freely admit that I preordered just because Ken Shamrock is in the game and it's time to make some fools tap.

Also my last wrestling game was WWE '12 so I'm about due for a new game.

Why the gently caress can't you commission a title match in a game that exists to let you pretend wrestleman?

It's simply messing with the universe mode and taking stuff out of it that makes me not want to play it. The universe mode was pretty dull last game and things were looking good and easy poo poo like that being taken out just doesn't want me to even bother with it. It's gonna be a bad game but I could ignore it if the Universe went back to being like it was in 14 with added features but eh. I'll wait next year
