I felt like compiling a list of overall stats in the old-gen and new-gen versions of 2k15. The PS3/360 version is "was", the PS4/XB1 version is "currently":

Adrian Neville: currently 87, was 87
Del Rio 2014: currently 91, was 88
Del Rio 2011: currently 90, was 87
Bad News Barrett: currently 88, was 84
Batista 2014: currently 90, was 88
Batista 2003: currently 90, was 89
Big E: currently 87, was 84
Big Show: currently 87, was 87
Bo Dallas: currently 84, was 83
Booker T: currently 89, was 85
Bray Wyatt: currently 90, was 89
Brock Lesnar: currently 94, was 92
Cesaro: currently 93, was 86 (!!!)
Chris Jericho 2014: currently 90, was 88
Chris Jericho 2002: currently 94 (!!!), was 92
CM Punk 2011-2012: currently 93, was 92
CM Punk 2012-2013: currently 92, was 91
Cody Rhodes: currently 89, was 85
Corey Graves: currently 80, was 79
Curtis Axel: currently 87, was 81
Damien Sandow: currently 87, was 83
Daniel Bryan 2014: currently 94, was 94
Daniel Bryan 2012: currently 88, was 90
Darren Young: currently 84, was 81
Dean Ambrose: currently 91, was 88
Dolph Ziggler: currently 85, was 84
Erick Rowan: currently 88, was 84
Fandango: currently 85, was 80
Goldust: currently 86, was 85
Jack Swagger: currently 89, was 85
Jey Uso: currently 87, was 85
Jimmy Uso: currently 87, was 85
John Cena: currently 96, was 96
Justin Gabriel: currently 82, was 81
Kane 2014: currently 90, was 91 (!!!)
Kane 2002: currently 90, was 88
Kevin Nash: currently 90, was 87
Kofi Kingston: currently 85, was 84
Luke Harper: currently 90, was 86
Mark Henry: currently 85, was 84
The Miz: currently 84, was 84
Randy Orton 2014: currently 92, was 90
Randy Orton 2004: currently 84, was 86
Rey Mysterio: currently 89, was 84
Ric Flair: currently 91, was 91
Rob Van Dam: currently 88, was 86
The Rock: currently 91, was 91
Roman Reigns: currently 92, was 89
R-Truth: currently 83, was 84
Rusev: currently 88, was 84
Ryback: currently 87, was 84
Sami Zayn: currently 85, was 86
Santino Marella: currently 81, was 80
Seth Rollins: currently 93, was 89
Shawn Michaels: currently 95, was 95
Shaemus: currently 93, was 93
Stone Cold Steve Austin: currently 92, was 90
Titus O'Neil: currently 85, was 83
Triple H: currently 93, was 91
Tyson Kidd: currently 82, was 84
Ultimate Warrior: currently 89, was 90
Undertaker: currently 94, was 93
Xavier Woods: currently 80, was 83

As far as I know, there's no actual formula that generates these numbers from the stats, and they're manually entered instead, so someone probably actually sat down and changed Triple H to a 93 so he wouldn't be worse than Sheamus and Ultimate Warrior to an 89 just because.

Increasing all Shield overalls makes sense. Can't really comment on the rest.

Edit: What I mean by the bit about the formula is you could give John Cena an alternative attire in 2k14 and it would briefly show you that his overall is 99 if calculated through the CAW formula. I don't have 2k15, so I don't know if this is changed.
 
Apparently, editing attributes is in from the start without DLC either way, so that's good news at least.

That's good to hear. I recall reading something on WWE.com about needing to unlock some clothing options via MyCareer but i haven't seen anything like that yet.

Also, has anyone talked about Background Matchmaking?

Lol holy shit, why is Cesaro a 93 now

INCOMING PUSH

He was a 92 at Gamescom and it was assumed that it was because he beat Randy Orton clean in February, and Randy Orton was a 91. I'm not sure you can apply any kind of logic to those numbers, and now both Cesaro's and Randy's numbers are higher.
 
Besides the so-so gameplay I think the most offensive thing about this game is the commentary. It is legit horrible. I don't understand how other sports games do it so well but here its horrible just throwing out random 5 word sentences once every ten seconds. I wish they would go back to the drawing board for that.

Commentary is bad in a lot of sports games, but u don't understand where the idea for the use of some of the lines came from. Cole says "Aw jeeze" without any other interaction from anyone. They made him say that, on his own, to denote someone impacting the other. It makes no sense.
 
DA CLUMSY GUY.

Hmm, really not sure what to do with my Hulkamania preorder..

GAME is taking payment on Monday, so I've got the weekend to decide whether I want this shit.
 
The weird thing to come out of impressions so far are that triple threat matches are great to play.

The vids I've seen seem to back that up.
 
Ultimate warrior just rolled over in his grave(89!!!!!???)

Kane 2014: currently 90, was 91 (!!!)
Kane 2002: currently 90, was 88

Katie Vick just rolled over in her grave

ratings look shaky.

I really wonder what overall ratings Sting and Hulk Hogan have. 95 used to be the old "top babyface of a generation" rating, but if Warrior is 89, then I bet Hogan's 91 or 92, and then Sting has to be three or four points lower than that by pure comparison to Hogan.

Edit:
Sting '91 is 93.
Sting '99 is 91.

When one of you get the next gen version (Bobo, maybe) I request that you take Crow Sting, with give him Goldust's face paint scheme or colors if possible, Piper's kilt, red and yellow boots, Real American music, and the NXT Women's Championshi.

Hey look, they changed the DLC ratings too even though it makes even less sense for them.

Sting '93: currently 93, was 92
Sting '99: currently 91, was 89

Can't find any videos of the Hogan DLC. It's probably higher than Sting in both versions though.

No one is under 80 in this game?

Why do they even have a 1-100 scale?

Cruiserweights used to be in the 60s. I think Kid Kash was in the 50s while Kurt Angle was a 95 in SvR 2007.

It's supposed to be the average of the wrestler's attributes, and those actually use the full scale, or at least more of it. Great Khali has 40 or so in Jump, I think. They probably started faking the numbers at some point because it's way easier for them to just have the top guys at 92-95 that way instead of going backwards and giving them high stats to correspond to a number that can't be higher than John Cena's number.

Does Hugh Morrus sexually harass you in My Career? If you make a black guy, does Michael Hayes tell you he's more of a nigger than you are? I really need accuracy in this before I buy a PS4 for it.
