Maybe there'll be an achievement for Sheamus vs. Bryan

Actually the sales are always good. Just because it's not Call of Duty sales wise, doesn't mean it doesn't sell. More people bought last year's game because of Attitude tie in. Actually, according to vgchartz, WWE 12 (2.23m) outsold WWE 13 (2.12m), but both games were outsold by SvR 2008 (2.68m) on PS3 and 360. If that's not an indication that sales numbers don't matter...

Yeah, it's kind of sad that Legends of WrestleMania did a good job with the arenas and 2K14 will look the same. Hell, Showdown: Legends of Wrestling had great arenas. That game had a perfect MSG with the side-tunnel entrance. They had SkyDome to scale. And it was made in 2004 and completely broken. What has Ledesma's reasoning been for not having this in games? Even WrestleMania XIX on Gamecube from 10 years ago had this down to the point where the Royal Rumble arena in that game had your character turn on the way to the ring because the walkway was off center. This is really my pet peeve with these games. They talk so much about upgrades, but they can't even get the audience right.

What the hell? When are we going to find out about anyone on the current roster? The week before release? Also, I'm seriously peeved that this Aubrey shithead kept his job with the switch to 2K. He was such a jackoff with all his fan interactions last year.

Also, this just screams "The current roster's taking a backseat, because we really need this to sell well!"

Still holding out on "Authentic arena and stadium designs". Can't wait to see all 12,000 at the Silverdome. Just like 12,000 at Skydome. Or the 12,000 seat indoor arena design for Metlife Stadium. I'm in the same boat as you. It sucks knowing that they're going to cut corners like they always do. While the Attitude Era arenas looked great in WWE '13, I doubt they'll be able to accurately re-create the massive stadiums that the WrestleMania mode deserves.

Well I meant more people bought it last year due to hearing people go "Oh man I watched back then! I'm going to actually buy it this year to play as guys I grew up watching!" There was more of a buzz about the roster and the game itself than before. Of course we won't for sure how much of a difference it made sales wise. However, I'd bet dollars to donuts that more people bought WWE '13 because of the Attitude era roster than the people who didn't buy it because of the Attitude era roster. The overall sales were probably lower due to the poor rapport THQ had with the fans of the game who have been constantly disappointed with the series over the years hence the steady decline in sales. There is a lot of things wrong with the game, but the rosters are generally not one of them. Although, it's silly that they waste spots on duplicate wrestlers just because they have a different look.

Go back and look at the two new Hogan pics. It's already clear as day that they've taken the easy way out with arenas. Those Manias were in giant stadiums, and in the screenshots it looks like they're at a SmackDown taping. So freaking disappointing.

I am really wondering if the sales sliding as people vote with their wallet would even matter anymore. It feels like the culture that's been running through WWE Games over the last 10 years has become so entrenched that, even if people demanded that these get better hard and fast, it would even matter to them. Hiring the same a-holes who have been encouraging mediocrity for so long was a sure sign that 2K's just looking for a cash grab, and everything that's come out about the game since it was announced has done nothing to dissuade that in my mind. Even when it moves to the next gen, I don't see this ever getting better.

dammit, i was really hoping the were going to focus on the current roster this year. I know it's all fantasy booking anyway, but i could never get over the uneasiness of booking dead wrestlers in universe last year, Ive never been comfortable with that, but i had to last year because the current roster was to weak to be in universe mode by themselves.
I don't get how they could be focusing on legends again because "it needs to sell" and then the still push out the same bs legends every year or guys from All stars and Legends Of Wrestlemania (which both games didn't outsell the main games).
