WWE 2K16 '2015 Hall of Fame Showcase' DLC To Be Released February 23rd

[Sunny]

To put it blunt, Alundra Blayze hasn't done much anyways other than that prominent feud with Nakano, but I doubt they'd name drop her. She's mostly known as that crazy ass eccentric chick who dropped the Women's Title in the trash, and as the lass who beat Evan Karagias on the regular thereafter failing to rebound from the great lengths her career once stood. The lack of lines administered to her could be a summation of her "legacy" or lack thereof. She has no legacy in the WWF/WWE because she shat on WWE's legacy. It's like that excommunication of Hogan, Benoit, or Snuka where sure Blayze is in the Hall of Fame but her specifics won't be recognized. 

It's pretty poetic in terms of WWE protecting their history.

The patch downloads the DLC. The purchase unlocks it. If my hunch is correct, and you are going to have to bare with me for a moment and pardon my ignorance on the subject matter, but for all intents and purposes, if there was a way to circumvent licensing on a cracked PS4, theoretically, everyone would have access to the DLC because it's downloaded on the disc. That's assuming someone has access to the automatically enabled patch file and distributes it for jailbroken PS4s to use.

everyone's saying the dlc was 2.25 gigs.

Still waiting for this to appear on PSN. Btw did anyone notice that the filesizes for the dlc are +-1mb? This means that all the dlc content is already on the disc.

unless it's just an xbox thing, or they were referring to the last gen versions, some people on the 2k forums were saying it was 2.25 gigs but i assumed they were on xbox 1 or ps4 in the uk

Finally appeared on psn this morning and you were right. Download size changed from 1mb to 2gb.

and she was with randy savage so there's that. but yeah most people now know her as the woman that threw the title in the trash can on nitro

yeah i noticed a few improvements. editing superstars in universe hasn't removed my universe matches and seems some jackets are allowing the title under the jacket now.

[HiPcavallo]

To be honest I was kinda half expecting, half hoping the commentary would just shit all over Alundra Blayze. But I guess the less commentary the better, so I'm pleasantly surprised by that.

Also thank god at the jacket thing, that annoyed the shit out of me. Especially considering a lot of people I plan to give titles to wear jackets..

so they've finally fixed rivalries?!?!?!

[DGener8]

This DLC was good for getting some new characters (I really have no use for Larry Z., Alundra, or additional versions of Steamboat, Rikishi and The Rock), the Showcase itself was awful. I finished everything in about a half hour. There was barely anything to do in every match. Hopefully, next year the DLC Showcase focuses primarily on one Superstar/storyline. Maybe do Taker for the main Showcase and Daniel Bryan's journey to WM30 as the DLC? I have no interest in a HOF Showcase again next year because we already have three versions of Sting in the game as it is, and Godfather doesn't do much for me as a DLC character. 

Also, why did they have to have two identical versions of Rikishi in the game? If the HOF DLC was going to be based on his 2000 heel run, then the original version should've been babyface, dancing Rikishi with Too Cool's theme. 

I also wish one of the versions of Flair in the game would've had his current theme if for no other reason than to be able to use for Charlotte CAWs.

The hell were the dev's smoking when creating Hall and Stevie Ray. Looks nothing like them:

Compared to Booker T, Stevie Ray looks great. They are hit or miss with the models. 

[seanironmaiden]

Hall looks spot on. The best out of all the DLC imo

Sort-Of.. i mean the first time i tried editing stuff in the universe menu non of my matches changed. but when i did it after playing the first match, my matches kept switching around and then when i deleted an alt attire, the rivalry using that superstar flat out disappeared so that's why i said sort-of.  i think as long as you edit before starting the first match you're good. but most of the stuff i edit i do thru "My WWE" now. like crowd reation, attributes well everything accept from Affiliated show and rivals/allies carries over from my wwe to universe

i don't get why you're saying that. they look spot on in my game. and hall doesn't look like he's clean shaven like he did in 2k14

[bluemonkeymagic]

Hall is great in game...Some people just like moaning for the sake of it.

yeah that's the way i feel. hall and stevie ray look perfect. then again there's always a nitpick

[AlcLegacy]

Stevie looks great. Hall could use some work but it may also just be the texture.  Guess we'll find out sooner or later >;) 

[the King Lives]

he looks better than the hall/razor in 2k14 so i'm not complaining.. imo hall/razor looked weird with the beard texture they used in 2k14

[AlcLegacy]

The 2k14 model looked better than this IMO. Besides the texture.

[the King Lives]

sorry but it didn't but we can agree to disagree

[tekken57]

Hall is one my all time favourite wrestlers and I've modded models of him a number of times over the years. IMO, the 2k14 model was much more accurate. The detailing on this model looks wrong especially around the eye and chin area. The shape of the jaw looks incorrect and the mouth shape looks too thick:

As for Stevie Ray, the lack of detailing on his face makes him look like a caw.

I'm saying this because some of the models like Cena and Orton are exceptionally high quality and others are lackluster. The look out of place next to the higher quality models.

[bluemonkeymagic]

I agree with that about some models are crap compared to others. Playing john cena vs macho man looks like savage has been imported from another game

[MST3Claye]

Just wanted to pass this along in here. I had an exhibition match.. CPU vs CPU.. Savage '91 vs Roberts '91. Possibly THE BEST match in 2K16 I've ever had or witnessed so far. Roberts had control of most of the match. Savage tried to fight back, but Roberts regained control. had a couple DDTs along with Savage piledrivers and one or two flying elbow drops. A very bloodied Randy Savage finally won the match via the diving axehandle from the top. GREAT match.

I'm just glad Hall/nash/Harlem heat are in the game. i just wish they would actually give Nash more attention. He didn't do that stupid knock out punch in WCW. hell he only did that when he was HBK's Bodyguard. still doesn't have "HIS" elbow strikes with theatrics, no corner knee strikes despite Cole and Lawler constantly saying that's one of his signature maneuvers/setups before the jacknife. Which brings me to the jacknife. he never did a powerbomb like that. ever. I just don't understand how just about everyone got a moves overhaul and they just left nash the way it is.

And i blame this on our so-called Moves expert Bryan Williams. he seems to care more for the nxt indy people than people that actually helped shape this business into what it is. But best believe if the Young Bucks had made it in, he'd have given them every single move/tag move, off the titantron move and whatever they've ever done.

Someone actually taking the time to defend Big Kev on this board? Well, that's a first.

This needs to happen, as well as accurate entrances and decent boots with multicoloured ribbons! :3

[tekken57]

I'm also grateful that they are in the game. At least we have commentary for them along with trons and entrance music. Totally agree about Nash's moveset.

no it does not.

they're nothing more than the hardyz 2.0

no thanks

and before you ask, yes i have watched them perform.

I'm also grateful that they are in the game. At least we have commentary for them along with trons and entrance music. Totally agree about Nash's moveset.

yeah i just don't get why they keep giving him the same 92 era moveset lol. i mean he's had that moveset since WWE12?

and yeah agreed on the commentary

 

question. in your game do you get entrance commentary about Arn Anderson at all? every time i do an entrance it's always generic commentary lol

Jeff actually watch their PWG and NJPW work before just dismissing them as Hardy Boyz 2.0
