You know, if Mercedes signs, wonder if they'll try to slap together DLC for her. If they truly make it rain on her, they'll probably want to get that done ASAP to help move units and recoup some of that. Of course, do it too fast, and she'll look absolutely abysmal.

Yeah, don't want her to be like The Bunny where she looks like a badly-rendered version of Kandi Krush from WOW.

The rushed as f*** SVR 2011 Nexus DLC where something went wrong with the shape of the models and they all had lanky Bigfoot proportions should always be the goal

Who asked for Outcasts Toni with debut theme and graphics? Because that's what we got. THQ Nordic needs a management overhaul.

What is up with her ghoulish nightmare arm? That thing is hideous.
Kind of relates to why I really don't think this game's aesthetic works at all, it seems to vary person to person how much they're balancing realistic vs. cartoon character and many of the models look very out of place next to each other. It's like a slightly less ugly WWE Battlegrounds or for a more flattering but still quite unpleasant to look at comparison it's like Legends of WrestleMania.

She's stretch armstrong!
and as I Said earlier the art style of this game is very ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
They wanted to do cartoony, but then people complained so they kept the cartoonish models but then made a mostly realistic skin over it so you have the worst of both worlds.

Figured that would happen with Toni. Unless a publisher manages to nail down some utterly unheard-of arrangements and the developers are exceptional at fast turnaround (without crunch or leaning on thieving AI), licensed wrestling games are cursed to lag far behind the TV product. Development cycles already give delayed results, but on top of that you've got talent negotiations, the particulars of licensing deals, the QA process and assorted legal minutiae further slowing things down.
It's even a thing in older and smaller games, where graphic and animation quality is less of a concern. I'm in a Discord server for a very old, very niche MMO where some of devs and artists chat with the player base. One of the lead artists was asked to name his favorite model he designed for the recently-released expansion, and he genuinely couldn't remember. He's creating most of his art a full year in advance of it being added to the live game, and this is on a 20-plus-year-old engine with a relatively small team.
Sometimes you'll see cross-promotions that give the impression of being timely additions (franchise game gets a new character/spaceship/whatever to match the newly released piece of media) but that shit was planned out well in advance, like toy manufacturers working from designs provided many months ahead of a film's release. The week-to-week volatility of wrestling means only modders can keep up in a timely fashion.

The models for most of the women are atrocious. Especially The Bunny and Toni, who we had to pay extra for. Like, who approved those??

And that's the, "Yeah, we give up, this thing's dead," confirmation.

And that's the, "Yeah, we give up, this thing's dead," confirmation. I'd say it's more like a hail mary than outright quitting, even if it's basically the last step before giving up. They're probably hoping a bunch of people jump now with the price drop, and with that, an influx of cash and users. It's a faint hope, though, certainly, because most of the time, this doesn't turn things around, or at least, not enough.

My local EbGames already discounted it to $15nzd which is about $7.99usd.
Now if only the dlc would get a discount on the Switch eshop because i actually want it. I'm just not spending 90% of what i paid for the base game.

And there's the official price drop. If this included all of the DLC I'd think about it. As it is, as fun as the gameplay looks, I don't see what I get out of this game that old emulated games don't match or even exceed.
