Creation Suite Breakdown

In short you have the option to not only use superstar heads but full bodies with the option to create a seperate CAS or to make an alternate attire for their in-game model although this is only an option for 14 superstars (Chris Jericho, CM Punk, Daniel Bryan, Edge, John Cena, Kane, Paul Heyman, Randy Orton, Roddy Piper, Shawn Michaels, Stone Cold, The Rock, Triple H, Undertaker). Also hints to the inclusion of Paul Heyman and Roddy Piper to the game.

Superstar threads now has the option to edit enterance attires.

Logos used in the creation suite are now universal to all modes so any logos in CAA will be avalible in CAS.

And they are doubling the CAS slots to 100.

More info on Create-A-Arena on their twitch later today

what the hell is that accent

[Crybaby Bunting]

Well, that's me sold on the game. It was good enough beforehand, but 100 slots is perfect as long as the WWE Content Creation thingy is working better than last time.

[Skummy]

Sucks that you can only do alternate attires for certain superstars, but some of that is a long overdue inclusion. One of the first bits of genuine good news beyond "it's got this guy!" to come out about this game.

[The Buscher]

100 CAW slots is the first thing that got me genuinely interested in the game. Plenty of room for the rest of the current roster, all of NXT, a slew of TNA and ROH guys.

[Dr. Rated-R]

In the official Creation Suite reveal video they implied that Piper wasn't in the game aside from as a Superstar Head.

Also, since I don't think the video in this thread mentioned it, you can choose to either use Superstar Head creations as independent CAWs with their own move sets, entrances, and roster slots, or as alternate attires for the in-game wrestlers they correspond to. As beefed up Superstar Threads, basically. That's pretty awesome because the Superstar Head for Daniel Bryan is bearded and scraggly and looks exactly the way he looks on TV right now. So with a little elbow grease you can have an updated Daniel Bryan and even make it the in-game Bryan's default attire. Every year he's always outdated but now we can fix it without having to just use a CAW and that's pretty cool.

Can't wait for next year when they've had time to actually expand this new feature a bit. Once everyone on the roster has a Superstar Head and they've figured out how to make custom hair and facial hair play nicely with the head models, we'll be about as close to No Mercy-style customization as we're ever gonna get. Really wish we could've gotten a few more heads to use this year, though -- Razor and Diesel in particular would've been awesome since Hollywood Hogan is in the game.

100 CAW slots intrigues me considerably.

[thewrestlingkid]

i already preordered this game but i watched a video on twitch about universe mode (which I will link at bottom for anyone that wants to watch) but things that really sold me on it

1 the ability to customize a superstars default attire so they will wear it for every match and not have to edit each match they are in every week just to see an attire (small but helps)

2 the ability to really customize rivalries, having singles or tag rivalries and adjusting the length

3 wwe.com its very minor but having the weekly news, stats, rankings all together just gives it a cleaner look

4 the ability to customize how long a show is, minor shows 3-7 matches major shows 5-7

5 and this is the big one... the ability to actually have King Of The Ring in Universe mode now, and the best part if you want a KOTR PPV it is a custom theme and the whole tournament only fills on match slot so you can still have your title matches, feud matches, and have a full tournament...

looks good to me

heres the video

a nice touch with CAWs is that you can choose a twitter handle for them to be in the entrance plate thing... which is pretty small but cool, I guess.

It's nice to see them finally add a feature that they insisted would've been impossible for years. This was stuff you could do on Nintendo 64 and now it's being heralded as a new feature. I'm glad they're finally getting on board with full customization of the game, which has always been my #1 gripe with the series, but for fuck's sake. It's 2013 and these games are still developed with a 1999 mentality.

[brenchill]

We're almost on the PS4, video game graphics are by far the greatest they've ever been, yet we still can't have a wrestling game with hair that isn't one solid lump, or a ponytail that disappears through Shawn Michaels' r.

Thanks, Skum, now everyone thinks I'm crazy for randomly bursting out laughing in public.

[MalaCloudy Black]

2K's live on Twitch.tv right now talking about this game/showing it off.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InBKLS3SvzQ Interview about stuff that relates to restrictions when it comes to belts and online and stuff. I'd like to see DLC adding new heads and what not for the customization suite personally.

[Your Mom]

This is going to be $40 at Gamestop on Black Friday. So you'll save a minimum of $20 if your wait a few weeks

[tenaciousg]

GameStop also has a deal where if you trade two games on this list in, you can get a new game for $10. I used that to get GTA V, and I'm planning on using it again to pick 2k14 up at the end of the month.

[Baddar]

The Bella's as dlc? Haven't they been in the last 3 or 4 games?

[Avenged Probably]

At least the DLC models actually look like the guys this time. I'm looking at you Horse Face Booker T.

[Colly]

Virgil will be available free of charge.

[TheWho87]

I dont know why they are making the main DLC draw free, seems stupid to me.
