WWE 2K17: 13 Major New Details Triple H Just Revealed
9. The Brand Split May Not Be Included
With the brand split looming large over the product in real life, the question of its impact on WWE 2K17 inevitably came up. Will we be seeing a split in the game roster? Might we be allowed to oversee our own drafts? Well, it doesn't look like it, unfortunately.
"You know, the game has such a long creation time that it takes a bit of time to get everything in there. I think the brand split will probably - or brand extension will probably become a much more prominent feature of future games, as opposed to this one."
So there you have it, the brand split is likely to be this year's Four Horsewomen, in terms of becoming a focal point for complaints. But that's the nature of the beast: it takes a long time to develop these games, and if 2K Games had no idea that the brand split was coming (and they clearly didn't) they had no way of preparing themselves to include it.
It's a shame, of course, but at least Triple H hints that there may be a way around it:
"But, I'm sure... as you can create just about anything in these games, I'm sure our fans will find a unique way in their own right to create that extension on their own."
