On one side, people who had invested in next-generation consoles such as PS4 and Xbox One were disappointed at the lack of features and content available on-disc, whereas those buying the last-generation version on systems like PS3 and Xbox 360 felt short-changed by the sheer lack of updates to the game mechanics from previous entries in the WWE series. Needless to say, 2K Games have a job on their hands making things right when WWE 2K16 releases later in 2015 - fans are demanding way more bang for their buck, and it's clear that the stripped down creation suite (no Create-An-Arena!?) bugged a lot of people.

All are taken from previous WWE videogames, and throw up pretty intriguing possibilities.
