WWE 2K17: Predicting The 25 Highest Rated Superstars
3. Goldberg
Last Year: N/A
Prediction: 92-94
Going purely on his WWE 2k14 rating, Goldberg is classed as a 92 player by the 2K team (even if it's not actually the same one now). BUT he does have something going for him that might see a prestige boost: the DLC leading position and the fact that he's heavily involved in a rivalry with Lesnar as part of the game's narrative.
Could that mean that he gets a nitrous-boost up beyond the 92 for the sake of the game? It would make him more of a prospective threat for Lesnar, that's for sure, and that's precisely what the game needs. The whole point of their rivalry is that it's an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object, so I wouldn't be entirely surprised if he came in at 93 or 94.
