might want to change that 8 people in the ring thing. i think that 8 people is tied only to tags and ladder matches. not sure of rumble but i know pulse did mention battle royals

If it's just for 8-man tags then that's extremely dumb of them.

yeah i think it's just speculation at this point but you know how it is. implement a feature or match type. they usually take baby steps.

but if it's for Ladder matches and battle royals then i really wouldn't see why we couldn't have 8 in the rumble or even 2 v 2 v 2 v 2 matches. hopefully it's atleast possible to do 2 v 2 v 2 tornado and normal matches

oh okay yeah i saw the ladder match part lol. i wonder if EC would be 8 persons. that would be pretty awesome. if we can throw a cell over the ring via match editor we can have some type of war games scenario lol

but yeah hopefully it won't be a mess. 6 in the ring wasn't that bad from how i experienced. though i've only won 1 ladder match

I just hope we finally get get tag Team Ladder and/or TLC matches this time around, ideally from 2 vs. 2 up to 2 vs. 2 vs. 2 vs. 2.

But since there is said to be a new "Create a Match" feature, it might be possible to customize such matches anyhow. Hopefully it will be powerful and allow us to customize all kinds of real and also crazy match types.

They'll probably confirm it at a later date, they took awhile to confirm it the last few years as well.

I agree.  Usually they announce it close to or shortly after the console release, and it comes out a few months later.  I kinda think that they intentionally hold off on announcing a PC version because they want to push console pre-orders.

I'm pretty sure I heard somewhere that it won't be coming to PC. Or i'm just hallucinating and that never happened

I can't find reliable info one way or the other - I've seen both posted but not from any reliable source.  I think people are inferring that it won't be coming to PC because it's not listed - but like I said they're usually super quiet about it until after the console release.  But who knows - they might not port it - we've been lucky in recent years but before 2k15 I don't think there had been a PC port since WWE Raw 1.

No one officially said anything about PC version.

Even there is a nintendo switch version on gamestop, so I think there will be PC version as always in feb.

I'm pretty sure you didn't hear that. For the last 3 years, the PC version came out later than the console versions. Why is this even speculation at this point?

Even if by some chance they did say that, then they're just doing the GTA V tactic to get more console sales. Pretty sure they did it last year too.

 

Also, added some new information that I stole "borrowed" from our comrades at Caws. Those nerds watch the youtubers that played the alpha for some info.

Kinda sad that has to be included in new features but yeah, according to the alpha peeps it's no longer a thing.

With up to 8 people, I'd love to see a return of the "guest referee" matches. Would be awesome to guest ref a 6-person bout.

My spelling of the names could be off as I don't care whatsoever but, Pulse, Lugey, Pizzaman and there was a forth but I don't remember the name. Pretty much the same as the peeps who played the early version last year. Minus our lovely and beautiful Paul. </3

But they could be a buncha liars for alls I know.

Only solace is that I'm "borrowing" info so I can just shift the blame when they come out as false.

well tonypizzaguy is kinda off cause he is thinking that 8 man tags will be online lol. good luck with that. Chris Denker already shot that down.From the horses mouth Mark little told him it would be way too difficult with servers and all to have an 8 man tag online.

so yeah i just don't trust these youtubers that much

i mean he (pizzaguy) thinks the number 1 new feature is that online my career. that proves to me these youtubers don't care about much other than online.
