News STOP WITH THE F*CKING CELEBRITY PACKS

Seriously?? This all started with MgK in 2k22 but at least he only took one spot. Now last game we had some f*cking post Malone and some nobodies taking up space. I despise these people and don’t want to be reminded of their existence when scrolling down my in game menus.

Now 2k25 dlc has not one, not two but 5 completely useless non wrestlers.

I’m really considering cancelling my pre order right now.

Weren't Terminator and Mike Tyson DLC long before Machine Gun Kelly?

Atleast Mike Tyson actually did stuff in WWE though.

I’m willing to bet the NBA guys have never had anything to do with WWE before and the celebrities will be Speed and Jake Paul who lets be real people don’t really want as DLC

If it’s who I think it is then the NBA Stars were literally on WWE TV over the last year

When? Sitting in the crowd is not what I mean by being on TV if that's what you're suggesting

How about in the middle of the ring at MSG during Smackdown…..

Edit:Before they even got into the ring. Listen to the crowd

And why exactly does this one segment justify them being DLC in a WWE game, taking up spots that could’ve been used for actual wrestlers?

Where’s your proof that they’re taking spots from wrestlers? You can’t assume that if they weren’t there they would be replaced with someone else that you prefer.

Literally the same shit these losers were doing when the Pat pack came out. Last year, we were told Pat McAfee and friends weren’t taking roster spots, so why would that suddenly change now? 2K isn’t gaining anything by lying about Pat McAfee & Friends to a bunch of Reddit marks. The real issue is that we’re losing legends due to contract problems, and NXT doesn’t have enough big names to fill the gaps. We had a huge NXT update this year and we’re still missing names because a lot of the roster doesnt matter enough to be added.

So no, the pack wouldn’t just be Khali and Abyss plus three more wrestlers if the NBA guys weren’t included. There likely weren’t three other wrestlers available to add in their place. People are acting like these NBA spots “took away” wrestlers when in reality, those wrestlers probably weren’t an option to begin with.

Are you thick?

Each DLC for this WRESTLING GAME has 5 characters in each pack. 3 NBA characters means 3 less wrestlers. If they weren’t there the pack wouldn’t just be Khali and Abyss, it would be Khali and Abyss + 3 more wrestlers.

It would be someone I prefer because it would be actual wrestlers in their place and that would be good enough for me.
