Editor’s Note
2K Sports wasn’t lying. This roster is going to be insanely large. Looking forward to using more NXT stars this time around, especially Kevin Owens and Tyler Breeze – both of whom will be making their debuts with the franchise. With so many names being added to the original roster, it remains to be seen what exactly 2K will do in terms of downloadable content. Fans will have access to almost everyone right out of the gate, so what incentive will there be to invest more money into the game? More storylines? Different attire? We shall see. Nonetheless, this game is looking far more promising than “WWE 2K15” did. As long as the gameplay is tweaked, this version will be a can’t-miss product.
