Edit: or not, the group is full :(

I haven't played in weeks, if you wanna drop my spot to give it to him. If I need to leave, just let me know and I'll drop out.

Pulling for EA to make full use of the Star Wars license and make the third fighter Darth Vader.

Play a lot, grind the People's Championship weekend events and make sure you log-in each day in order to get higher tier cards. Do King of the Ring as much as possible to try and get better cards. Always level your cards up fully and apply tokens before combining them.

Bring Back Pride Mode. That was the best part of UFC Undisputed 3.

If last year is anything to go by that will be the last DLC released. I would expect the NXT pack at the end of the month first.

Have 2K ever confirmed that you could play as those wrestlers outside the showcase?

God that would be so dumb, limiting them to the Showcase mode.

I stopped paying attention and missed a QTE prompt in the WM XV match. After failing that, Rock became an unstoppable machine, destroying me so I couldn't win.

I'm not looking forward to going through all those cutscenes again.

Davros1 posted:

No they haven't. From my understanding showcase characters were playable in 2k15, but there is no indication that this will be the case for this year. If they do, it's a lot of characters for $9.99. You'd get the Bushwackers, the Natural Disasters, Hall, Arn, Zbysko, a wolfpac skin for Nash, Stevie Ray, a Harlem Heat skin for Booker, Alundra Blayze, Tatsunani Fujinami, Dustin Rhodes, and alt. skins for Savage, Flair, and Roberts. I'm skeptical they'd give that much content for that price, especially when other character packs include way less for $8.99.

I think Nash, Flair, Roberts and Savage will all be unique characters. Remember last year? Unnecessary duplicates left right and centre.

Honestly Roberts and Flair wouldn't be unnecessary duplicates. The in-game Roberts model is his chubby mid-90s appearance and Flair's is from his evolution days, aka old as poo poo.

Finally got 2k16 and it's pretty fun. My favorite part is still getting a bunch of CAWs and simulating Royal Rumbles. I am upset that you can't have a Divas Royal Rumble even if you have enough characters.

Because they probably need to licence Also Sprach Zarathustra if they use it, and it's a real song, not an in-house soundalike like his 90s WWE song.

Undisputed 3 never deleted my save for no reason, but it did let me kick Stefan Struve in the head. Much better than No Mercy, in my book.

If this new UFC has an IV Ban mode that allows you to make catchweight fights, it'll be the No Mercy of MMA games.
