It shouldn't be lost on anyone that 2K's own Create-A-Wrestler creations don't look anywhere near as good as the pre-rendered WWE stars they purpose built for the game. Heck, they barely even look as nifty as those found in Community Creations. Still, look at that glowing material on rent-a-wrestler's ring jacket there.

Create-A-Superstar now allows for different material types and the ability to preview arena lighting. You can now see what your wrestler would look like in black light, ensuring that you create an outfit that shines. Glowing mechanics don't stop with clothing either, because you can also tinker with teeth (or remove them completely) and hair. Finally, more options to make hair look less like a bad wig.

As if that wasn't enough, the menu pose feature has been enhanced to let you totally build it from the ground up. Individual parts, such as arms, fingers, facial expression and even what outfit you wear during match graphics can also be customised.

This was overdue.
