2K brought back one of everyone's favorite features of the old WWE games, you can once again brawl backstage or in the crowd. Also this little tidbit just popped up...

Seems like they've finally overhauled the creative aspects of the game. I'm really looking forward to it.

Hopefully I can import my custom trons and and entrance into the new game for my create-a-wrestler. I spent WAY too much time on that in 2K16.

I wish you could import custom entrance music. I hate like 80% of the generic themes they had on 2k16

That already sounds like more work than I'm willing to put in for the game. I just want to be able download a created player from the community, bring them to WWE and be able to upload their theme music from an audio file that I have. If it's more than like 3-4 steps, it's too much work for me. In reality, I'd like for the created player to already have that them music uploaded by the original creator so I have to do even less work. I'm lazy when it comes to video games.

For PC it isn't that much of a process, it's just one program called Sound Injector. But even then you have to convert music files to one type, then to another, then look in the game audio to see which you want to replace, then inject it. Haha. I agree though, they used to be able to have that feature of uploading music that was already on your machine. I don't know why they went away from that.

I don't know I got 2K16 last year with high expectations and it was kind of underwhelming. I do like that they brought backstage brawl and in crowd fighting back so it should help improve career mode. I got the season pass expecting to get a lot of content and it was not worth it.

Full roster finally out. Pretty excited about the recent NXT call-ups being in the game. Can't wait to run some stories with American Alpha.

Apollo Crews, Shinsuke Nakamura, Nia Jax and Goldberg are all DLC characters.

Scott Hall + Kevin Nash (NWO uniform) instead of Razor Ramon and Diesel would have been better in my opinion.

You can get Goldberg if you just pre-order the game. I actually pre-ordered on amazon a few nights ago because I was able to get it for PS4 for $51 (after tax) for being a prime member, and that includes free shipping and guaranteed to arrive on release day.

I actually don't care about Goldberg, but I did want the old WCW arena that is also part of the pre-order copy, and I couldn't pass up on the price. You do get both "versions" of Goldberg as well, WCW and WWE.

New gameplay trailer is out. I'm actually really excited for a WWE game for the first time in years. I play 2K16 but it's more so to waste time. I'm actually looking forward to spending some hours on 2K17.

yeah that trailer was sick. I was going to skip it this time around but the intrigue is very genuine.
