I'm not worried about the lack of info since I play NBA 2k every year so it's just more of the same.
I agree that they shouldn't have bothered with the "first" treatment tho. I've gotten more info from this thread and leaked videos than anything IGN has put out. They Shouldve covered that Lord of the Rings game instead or something.

In fairness, that delay rumor was based on Take Two's financial report which merely stated a Fiscal 2015 release for the game. It was a nothing rumor. October 28th is Fiscal 2015.

I want them to add the Hogan spot, where you get eliminated and then pull someone else over from outside.
Oh, I agree 100 percent. That was perhaps the most embarrassing IGN Q&A I've ever seen, and that's pretty bad. But every time this thread is bumped, it's usually a core group of people saying shit that essentially amounts to "lol Yukes" or "this game is shit."
But people are pointing to the lack of coverage to say the game will be broken, and that's just bullshit. 2K always holds off until the last minute to show off stuff for their sports titles. Using that as some gauge of quality for the game is asinine.
What?
Like the head scissors from the corner and he pulls them into his butt. Can't remember what ep of NXT it was, but it was against Tyson Kidd and I really enjoyed it.

I could barely get through that Q&A. Sheesh!
They will probably delay the game so that it coincides with the end of Kurt Angle's contract with TNA.
They will then re reveal the game with him on the cover, as he deserves.

Vince of IGN tweeted:
"Hey WWE 2K15 fans. I love you folks. I want to do more as much as you want to see more. It's cool that you're mad. I would be too."
Sounds like even they are frustrated with the bad coverage.

Ouch, I wonder how Mark Little feels about that.
I had a feeling. It's good to know that a writer or editor at least cringed before being put in a situation in which they had to put this up. It's embarrassing.
That being said, part of the fault is still with IGN. They should have made a clear outline of the content before agreeing to this IGN First coverage.

It's a good pressure ploy by IGN.
"Hey IGN readers we care about you, we aren't the bad guys here. 2K look at what's happening... better pony up"
"Hey IGN readers we care about you, we aren't the bad guys here. 2K look at what's happening... better pony up"
Kinda goes to show that this isn't IGN's fault... and why would it be?
Some people make it sound like they're sitting on a treasure cove of gameplay videos and stuff and not releasing it because they don't want to generate clicks. They clearly didn't lack information and content during their previous two IGN Firsts... this definitely sounds like an issue with 2K and not IGN.
That thing is just one step away from:
Q: Will we be able to punch in WWE 2K15?
A: As we know, there are known knowns. there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns. That is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns, the ones we don't know we don't know.

Stay tuned, information is coming!
I read Unknown so much it started to look like unicorn.
I saw a blurb about high flyers, grapplers, brawlers, and giants, but that could be simply talking about how the AI reacts depending on the wrestler. Like for instance, you wouldn't see Kane grapple or run much in the match and do more punishing moves and throat thrusts. But who knows!

I will check out next gen VGCW.
Also, what these games have been lacking is online federations. We have online franchises in most sports games these days. Why not wrestling?
I'd really like to know what great things Paige has done for the Diva's Division.
The Elite
BOSS
She has the best divas' roll up of the bunch.
It's called a schoolgirl. I learned this as it's one of Eva Maries special moves in Supercard.
lmao, I hadn't seen that! Does he do that kind of stuff on Raw?
The Elite

They should add a SuperCard mode to WWE 2k15.

uh what?
The "Divas division" is just Paige and AJ swapping the belt back and forth. The only reason they even wrestle other women is to do that god awful 'distracted by rival coming down to ringside' spot that WWE is obsessed with. Shit is embarrassing.
He hasn't wrestled on Raw for a while, so I'm not sure if it's just new or what. Think he's been busted back down.

Hey Omega,
We're glad you're excited for WWE 2k15. It's going to be the best WWE game yet. Stay tuned for more details soon.

Wow. This has been downright embarrassing. There is no way this game is releasing for next-gen this year.

I'm taking faith from those on the forum that claim the lack of information is nothing knew from 2k. Apparently it happens with NBA 2k yearly. Maybe they are on track to release something for October 28th.
Rockstar is always hush-hush with their games until the last possible moment as well and they are under the Take-Two umbrella, just like 2k.

No it really doesn't show that at all. It sounds like it both of their faults.
You don't claim "firsts" if you don't already have the information. If they didn't already have stuff provided to them from 2K then they shouldn't have done an IGN Firsts for the damn game to begin with. That's on them.
2K are being ridiculous for this as well by withholding so much information this close to release, but IGN jumped the gun and should be held just as accountable.
I think that they didn't start doing mocapping until 3 months out from the game being released says a lot about the game. They say they've redone the engine and have more animations than ever, but the footage out there shows it to be the same game it has been for 8 years. The same animations. The same everything. Just prettier. The gameplay looked even clunkier than usual. They talked up the new My Career mode, but it is only for XBone/PS4, even though My Career has been just fine in the NBA 2K series for years on 360/PS3.
You think IGN would've signed up for this knowing they would get zero content? They're trying to drive traffic and with 2K not giving them anything, this IGN First deal makes zero sense for IGN to make. They've gained nothing from this.
They could've done any other game and gotten 4 times if not more the traffic just by having some content daily.

Doesn't matter that they thought they'd get the content. You do this stuff after you KNOW you have the content. Yes, 2K screwed IGN, but IGN screwed up by not actually securing content beforehand. Saying you are going to provide something before that something is actually in your own hands is ALWAYS a bad idea. 2K are being dicks, but IGN displayed some serious incompetence here.

Yeah, I've gotta believe IGN thought they'd be getting a lot more then they've gotten.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
But we could, we just want to make sure all gamers experience today's new information at the same time, so we want to give fans the opportunity today to return from work/school or whatever they're doing. It's all about the fans today.
