Can't wait to create me and put myself into a stable with Barrett and Bulldog called The Mancunian Way.

I would cut them a little more slack than that. There has to be some benefit of the doubt given that it takes time to make completely new characters and to do it right. You're right. It's just quite rare that they have to completely make a character from scratch. Usually they're just adding onto an already existing character they've developed and they don't take nearly as long. Even then they won't even need to create very many new characters if the cut-off period was moved back from March/April (which I assume is around where they're at) to August or so. Most characters that would need to make the cut debut or start heating up months before the cut-off period, so you'd already have a head start on creating (or updating) them. This would be a large step in the right direction to making sure that the most relevant members of the roster as possible would get in at launch. There's also the deal with DLC, where I'm sure they hold off including certain people on purpose to get extra money, but that's a whole different topic that I'm not going to get into. This is a pointless discussion though, so I'm just going to stop. It's not THAT big of a deal, but I do wish it would be changed eventually. I hear you. I'm in the same camp when you consider all the already rendered characters that aren't in this game. It'll be pretty brazen of them if they make us pay for any of those characters. I'll table a question: For those who voted in the poll, were you satisfied with last year's roster? I thought it was the best in a while.

I've heard that, aside from the aforementioned AJ and Sandow, that Drew, Ezekiel Jackson and Val Venis are planned DLC's, among (hopefully) others.

If we have to pay for Drew, I'll only be entirely happy if we get current Drew, Dashing Ones Drew, and Dave Taylor's tag partner Drew.

So what is the weekly update? Tuesday or Wednesday? I forget which day they come out with new entrance videos.

Why can they never get Mick Foley right? Even his renders look like shit.

Last year was one of the best rosters we've ever got, SYM aside. Most of the people in the company were included, and we got a decent selection of legends. I could have done without playing as Lawler and JR, but it was by and large pretty good.

I've said it once and I'll say it again there's no way we should have to pay for guys just because they decided to take them out, I feel the same about anyone who was DLC last year as well.
Of course at least one of them could be free so I'll wait and see.
Also last year's roster was incredible.

Count me in among those who thought the roster in WWE 12 was great.

I'm satisfied, but not thrilled. Last year had such a better roster, but honestly there's only a few guys not on this that I'd use a lot (Tensai, Regal, Gangrel)

I'll table a question: For those who voted in the poll, were you satisfied with last year's roster? I thought it was the best in a while. No. Mainly because I was very sad to see that the Usos didn't make it in. This year it's a little more understandable.

1. I'd like to join the dWo because I am also upset that Drew didn't make it in the game.
2. I get the feeling at some point in Universe mode Im gonna get stuck in a 1 on 3 handicap match against Big Show, Paul Wight, and Khali.

Don't they have to create a new model for alternate attires? That's ass backwards technology when you consider the fact that the AKI engine allowed four attires with the same model per wrestler. I know the graphics are much better but it's not worth it.

Considering only 2 people have been announced for DLC, I wouldn't cry out just yet, considering there's a little over 2 months left, plenty of time to announce DLC. Yeah, I don't like paying for people that were already in the game, but unlike '12 with some people, where there was no true excuse to leave someone out, WWE '13 has the whole Attitude Era excuse. Unfortunately, more people are willing to return to WWE fandom to buy a game for just the Attitude Era characters, as opposed to using the modern roster as they wish. Hell, there's one guy on another forum who specifically said he's paying just for the Attitude Era guys, as silly as that is.

If my count is right that's about 6 or 7 members of the dWo.

I think the reason they create a new model is mostly for the different entrance music and animations and in some cases differences in the movesets.
Obviously it would be better if you could amend the moveset and entrances of alternate attires but that doesn't appear to be the case.

Don't see why they've included two versions of guys like Trips and Jericho. Why not just give them an Attitude Era attire and use the space for another character?
I'd have loved for Steve Blackman, Al Snow or Kai En Tai to have been included.
