The Rock to be Featured on the Cover of WWE 2K14

[kingkilla56]

If by downgrade he means visually/aesthetically, then I could understand better; even though we literally have no way of comparing the 2k14 Rock cover to the WWE13 Punk cover. But I think he means a downgrade conceptually from CM to Rock, which also amuses me.

Has it always been a big deal who's on the cover? Idk why they don't just put five or six people on there like they used to at times.

Well probably not, WWE started promoting WWE '13 around Summer Salm (August 19th), and I seriously doubt four months is enough time to do anything different. WWE 2K14 will likely basically be as THQ and Yukes had started it out to be, with minor 2K involvement.

On A side note, I could go for Fandangoo on the cover. LOL

I don't care who's on the cover. If 2K updates models like they *sometimes* do in NBA, then I'm buying it.

I don't know why this is such a hard concept for you guys to understand. To me, having The Rock on the cover is a huge downgrade. I'm not saying it's a downgrade business-wise (because it's not). I'm saying it's a downgrade since I really can't stand The Rock and how the WWE is spotlighting everything on him. The far more talented guys in locker room that I would like to see on the cover such as Dolph Ziggler, The Shield, Daniel Bryan, Sheamus, Cody Rhodes, Damien Sandow, Kofi Kingston, and among others.

I think it's a downgrade in terms of the focal point of WWE's brand. I'd much rather them focus on the young talent that is busting their *** everyday out of the year than on a part time guy that has been taking the spotlight away from the younger guys. I'd much rather see John Cena on the cover. At least you can turn on WWE programming and see him on it every week.

I'm not saying it's a downgrade for 2K or WWE. There's no factual basis for what I'm saying. To you, it could be an upgrade. To me it could be a downgrade. This isn't a complicated idea. I don't have to like the cover. I doubt everyone is going to like this year's NCAA Football cover. I doubt everyone is going to agree whether or not the cover athlete is an upgrade or downgrade. I don't think there's any factual basis to it unless you look purely at sales.

I found this post hilarious.

Having the rock on the cover is a good idea, he's still active (for the most part) and he's a face people reconize. I own wwe 13 and I will buy 2k14. I enjoy 13 very much but their are still so many things wrong with the game that I'm hoping 2k can help fix. I'm at least optimistic about 2k14.
