The biggest difference is that the developers have to build each part of the superstar separately like the boots, shorts and shirts. We don't have to do that.

Since you brought up the roster cut off date, I have another serious question.

Since we haven't seen CM Punk since the Royal Rumble, and his WWE contract has officially expired. Will we have to rely on CM Punk CAWs to play as Punk or will he still be in the game?

I'm guessing no since if the roster cut off date is later, and he hasn't been seen since January, I guess not but just curious. Maybe his character can be moved to being a locked character that you earn through career mode or something.

I would assume he won't be in the game unless the WWE reaches some type of agreement with him.

I'd bet on Punk not being in the game; but despite all the reports we really have no idea what the feelings are between him and WWE.

If WWE wants him in and Punk wants the royalty checks, who knows?

I'd say the only way he gets in is if they come to a deal. Despite what the guy did and for the brief time I got to actually see him (few months) I liked him so if he's in great, if not oh well.


Reed is comin' atcha!!

I hear that Universe Mode has all but been confirmed because it's mentioned in the product details of the strategy guide on Gamestop's website:

"In-depth look at creating your own WWE Universe, complete with tournaments, rivalries, and more.
Tips and tricks for getting the most out of your own custom Superstar or Diva.
Collect all Achievements and Trophies.
This WWE 2K15 strategy guide receives our signature series treatment, featuring a premium cover, making this a must have for any WWE fan!"

I really hope that's the case. I traded in my Xbox and all of its games so I could get a PS4 (something I'm regretting. I wish I kept the Xbox because I miss playing WWE and NCAA.)

Anyway, I'm so psyched for this game. I don't currently have a console wrestling game, so I know that I am going to play this game a lot. I know the graphics will be awesome because it's next-gen. I know 2K is actually going to put its stamp on the game this year, rather than just releasing THQ's product for the most part last year. I really just want to about Universe Mode. I'll buy the game regardless, but Universe Mode will make or break my experience with the game. I hope they either made the rivalry maker much better (it was so redundant and glitchy in 2K14; every week, the participants would face in Extreme Rules/submission matches, for every rivalry. I'd love it if the game-makers watched WWE programming and saw how WWE builds rivalries, and even somewhat incorporated that into the game.

Or at least how WWE is supposed to build them ha. No, seriously I agree with you about the Universe mode. As much as I'd like to have a 2k style career mode in the game, if there is a great way to build my own universe and it has a large number of angles and feud possibilities, I'll be thrilled. The idea that they want this to be a true wrestling game and not a fighting game featuring wrestlers might just be marketing speak, but I hope it shows in the game.
