10 Things WWE 2K17 Needs More Than Goldberg

9. Inclusion Of Everybody On The Active Roster

Another annoyance is perhaps slightly more understandable given the 'ever evolving' nature of WWE as a company. 2K regularly release their WWE games around October/November time annually, but developers have noted in media interviews that they cut off including new arrivals on the WWE roster months before then.

That makes sense, because those making the game have to build each wrestler from the ground up, which is likely a time-consuming process. Whilst there is some understanding from fans, there's also disappointment when a performer has been on TV for months yet doesn't make the cut in time for the game's release.

For example, is there a chance that the likes of Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson (who both debuted in April) will be excluded from the roster that makes it onto the disc? Someone like AJ Styles (first appearing in January) would be an inexcusable omission, but 2K have to ensure that everybody fans expect to see makes an appearance.

Let's not have another situation like 2K16 experienced, missing out names such as Charlotte and Sasha Banks.
