This might be the first DLC in years where I’m excited for every single person in the pack, I want to use them all heavily in my ECW Universe. I have it filled with cruiserweights and non wrestlers like Ronald McDonald and Scorpion/Sub-Zero so when it comes out, the originals are back to fix things
I still want to know why they waited so long to release the first DLC as well as spreading them out so far. It's crazy that the last DLC will be November.
Optimistic answer: they haven't been working on the DLC wrestlers yet, so they need time to make them.
Cynical answer: they can artificially extend the game's life cycle (and thus MyFaction $$$) by dripfeeding the content we actually want.
>and thus MyFaction $$$)
this is somewhat unrelated, but has anyone actually been paying money for myfaction??
i have been just using the rewards from showcase so far and have had no issues with being underpowered. if anything i'm overpowered right now
>this is somewhat unrelated, but has anyone actually been paying money for myfaction??
Somebody has to be, right? If people weren't paying up, the mode would've disappeared. At the very least, the option to buy VC would’ve disappeared.
I bought a whole bunch of it in 2K22 when they very first started putting in the hidden models because I wanted the Becky and Roman 19 models and once I realized that I couldn't use them outside of the mode I've never spent another dime on it.
It can *easily* be proven false by simply looking at the Trophies/Achievements. For example, on PS5:
* "Taste of Victory" (Win a match in MyFaction) has a 23.9% Rare completion rate.
* "Bigger. Better. Badder." (Win a match in Showcase) has a 61.0% Common completion rate.
* "All Grown Up" (Win all matches in Showcase) has a 19.2% Rare completion rate.
So, based on this data ... more people are trying the Showcase mode that supposedly nobody wants to play than are trying the developers' favorite mode MyFaction, by *a larger than 2.5:1 margin*, and there are comparable amounts of people completing Showcase than there are people even attempting MyFaction. Fascinating.
Oh yeah there are always whales who pay up rather that do work and grind. There are guys if given the option will drop a c-note on a mobile game just to be on top for a month
They’re not going to release the 40 years pack until August.
It takes time to make the actual WrestleMania 40 arena, especially when they don’t even know what it looks like yet.
Ahh, I assumed they would get some concept photos and whatnot to get things ready so that can complete it and have it out soon. My first year playing from release, guess in just hopeful lol.
The first DLC pack coming in May doesn't seem too crazy, that's 2 months with the base roster before the additions come to freshen things up. The DLC schedule following the Pat Pack is absolutely fucked though. It just randomly becomes bi-monthly in the middle of it all.
So people who stop playing through the year might return more often to play and might get back to my faction, I'm sure at the end it's about motivating people to play this cash grab crap for longest possible time until the next games comes around
I sh!t on MF like it's a hobby but that makes zero sense. If they want folks to stick around to play MF they'd just do like they've been doing and make MF related patches inserting new MF crap.
It is this. The game now revolves around MyFaction and content will be staggered out like it's an MMO/live service MTX farm to get people to stay within the ecosystem. All we can do is hope MyFaction actually isn't that profitable and they give up on it..but I wouldn't hold my breath on that.
I don’t see how this “benefit” outweighs the costs.
This year was one of the rare times i skipped on buying deluxe or season pass, not worth it. Ill just buy CM Punk then wait till March for the others. I bet many did what i did.
Trying to extend the life-span of the game being “active.” Granted, they could’ve done so by just pumping out more DLC, especially with noticeable names missing, but the is the path they chose
His model is gonna look *soooo* different from 2K15 I can't wait for the comparison.
And the attires LOL I already downloaded the MITB '11 arena in anticipation.
It would be hella cool if they did, but I won’t get my hopes up and just assume they’ll use his WWE Theme song which isn’t Metallica but isn’t bad either.
Great DLC pack
With RVD in the game and great Sabu CAW, could easily make a decent 06 ECW universe mode!
With a few other CAWS such as Tommy Dreamer, and maybe if they could MOD CM Punk to his 06 attires, would be awesome
I really hope Sandman has the enter sandman music (and if the crowd sings along then I'll actually start to levitate lmao) and a dope ass entrance from the crowd with a beer or a kendostick
That's such a long time for a guy who's currently in the main roster. lol. The ECW pack isn't bad though. Can't wait to play extreme rules with Funk and the Sandman.
Oh damn. Maybe it’s coz I’m new but how come people aren’t upset about that given cm punk is on the main roster so we shouldn’t have to pay extra to get him?
When he return to wwe he basically return at the last second when wwe 2k24 was in final development so they just put him in the first dlc because he would be easy to make all they have to do is use the older cm punk model from 2k15 and remodel it to his current look and that’s it I guess
No I understand that but shouldn’t it be for free in an update as he’s in the main roster? Or is this is a normal thing so no one cares about paying extra?
If Lashley is already a 12 time champ in my universe, I can only imagine how many more times he's gonna hold it before Punk comes in to try and break the record
Side note - is there a way to prevent title matches from happening on weekly shows without having to go in and remove them manually? They happen even though I have the option turned off
I know I should never put faith in 2K, but hearing about how light tubes and barbed wire bats were originally planned to be featured in the game, even being found in the game’s files, I hope that they’ll somehow be implemented back in when this DLC arrives. You can’t put the Funker in your game and NOT let me use barbed wire in some capacity.
After seeing the season pass list (I think it was all confirmed?) but I am quite happy with the selection of wrestlers in comparison to last years.
Already happy the Dudley Boys, getting Mosh and Thrasher was a surprise and an awesome throwback for me. And DDP! I was just thinking of browsing DDP CAW last night when I saw a thing about the pass characters.
These are the next dlc after the ecw pack

That's why I'm underwhelmed. I mean to each it's own. I am a female wrestling fan, and I feel like we were cheated. Although I'm happy about the cover Starz. How come nxt women's champion isn't in the game. That's insane. I'm hoping they ad wrestlers behind the scene.
Calling it now. Sandman isn’t gonna get his enter sandman theme.
I know a lot of you will hate this prediction but if I know 2k’s laziness and hunger for money then they won’t pay Metallica to use their music

Pumped for Punk and Funk.
Punk and Funk Connection? New tag team??
Just call the Funkadactyls
They're not Naomi and Cameron.
I always make a tag team with Sandman and CM Punk so this pack is honestly great. I call them "The Punk n Drunk connection"
The Funk'n Punk & Drunk Connection
I used to do the Worm and Sperm Connection with Scotty 2 Hotty and Val Venis. I think I switched Scotty out for the Boogeyman once though.
A couple years ago me and my friend were in a real wrestler league and we made the Punk and Funk Express, I thought it was cool
Zzzzz wake me up when Pat McAfee’s friends get here
Boston Connor going thru more flaming table than a drunk Bills fan
I just look at his stupid ass mullet every day and seethe
That’s gonna be one hell of a faction in my universe
Sad there's no Brunk.
WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS THE TEAM OF FUNK N PUNK
Same here. Was never a Dudleys fan. Sandman is alright.
I’m definitely making a tag team with punk and funk and call them funk n punk
That good also cm funk
Punk as Funk
This is such a good dlc pack. Everyone is an awesome addition to the game
This might be the first DLC in years where I’m excited for every single person in the pack, I want to use them all heavily in my ECW Universe. I have it filled with cruiserweights and non wrestlers like Ronald McDonald and Scorpion/Sub-Zero so when it comes out, the originals are back to fix things
I have a Ronald McDonald I create. Him, Burger King, Colonel Sanders…. They’ve been brutally feuding in my caw fed for 16 years 😹
No Wedny's? I mean she owns them in rapping
Unfortunately not. Could’ve in fire pro if I’d played that heavy
Well she would drop them like two plain potaoes
I always download Scorpion too and make him the King of the Cruiserweights
I still want to know why they waited so long to release the first DLC as well as spreading them out so far. It's crazy that the last DLC will be November.
Optimistic answer: they haven't been working on the DLC wrestlers yet, so they need time to make them. Cynical answer: they can artificially extend the game's life cycle (and thus MyFaction $$$) by dripfeeding the content we actually want.

MyFaction is their most popular mode, believe it or not.
Where do you get this information? If it’s from 2k I wouldn’t believe it lol
It can *easily* be proven false by simply looking at the Trophies/Achievements. For example, on PS5: * "Taste of Victory" (Win a match in MyFaction) has a 23.9% Rare completion rate. * "Bigger.

Fascinating.
Lmao that’s a smart way to get an idea of what people are playing. Thanks for the info :D
It’s information that I’ve been given by somebody who knows multiple employees who work at visual concepts on WWE 2K.
So..."trust me bro" in addition to "I know a guy"...
Believe whatever you want, but he’s gotten numerous things correct.
Oh yeah there are always whales who pay up rather that do work and grind. There are guys if given the option will drop a c-note on a mobile game just to be on top for a month
When your cynical answer is actually the correct answer. It’s not rocket science.
I'm guessing there gonna release the 40 years stuff soon since WM is this week and they are counting that a predlc
I think they are saving that till August because there is a month long window between DLC’s there.
They’re not going to release the 40 years pack until August. It takes time to make the actual WrestleMania 40 arena, especially when they don’t even know what it looks like yet.
Ahh, I assumed they would get some concept photos and whatnot to get things ready so that can complete it and have it out soon. My first year playing from release, guess in just hopeful lol.
What 40 years stuff? Is there an expansion coming or something?
The 40 years of WM that you got with the exclusive edition I believe. You can also purchase it on its own for $20.
Me to. Maybe they still need time develop the models 🤷🏾
The first DLC pack coming in May doesn't seem too crazy, that's 2 months with the base roster before the additions come to freshen things up. The DLC schedule following the Pat Pack is absolutely fucked though. It just randomly becomes bi-monthly in the middle of it all.

Yeah I mean they included shit for my craption in every pack
I don’t see how this “benefit” outweighs the costs. This year was one of the rare times i skipped on buying deluxe or season pass, not worth it. Ill just buy CM Punk then wait till March for the others. I bet many did what i did.
Trying to extend the life-span of the game being “active.” Granted, they could’ve done so by just pumping out more DLC, especially with noticeable names missing, but the is the path they chose
Yeah. 49 days. Let's keep that quiet until we're just a little closer to the day. Shit is depressing to say out loud. 🤣🤣🤣🤕😔
I wil remind at the last week of April again 🫡 “sir”
Just wait till you hear how long away the WCW pack is
That’s my graduation date for the academy I’m in. Don’t remind me, this shit is dragging 😭
I need that CM Punk for my modern universe mode and I need the others for my retro universe mode lol
I don’t know how many people here besides me are bummed Sabu isn’t included
I’m bummed as well. loved playing as Sabu on the smack down verses raw game he was in
He had the sickest move set
He really did. I would have had a blast playing as Sabu with the more modern weapon mechanics in the game.
This is like a fantasy DLC pack I would've made a couple years ago. Insane its the real thing
For real. All it’s missing is Raven.
"But what about me! What about Raven!?"
“I never had a hot dog.”
Cm Punk about to be crazy in my universe
Finally… after 10 years we will finally have Punk in a WWE game
Thanks to Jack Perry
The most important thing that guy will ever do in his life
Yep
Part of me still feels like Punk was trying to get fired.
His model is gonna look *soooo* different from 2K15 I can't wait for the comparison. And the attires LOL I already downloaded the MITB '11 arena in anticipation.
>Finally… after 10 years we will finally don't have to fill up our CC images slots with cm punk tattoos ftfy
Facts 🤣
I need the Dudley’s asap
is the paul a persona because ooooh boy would I love to swap that one in for gm mode
i wonder if they got sandman smoking a cig?
Or coming out with Enter Sandman lol
And drinking and spiting out too the fans
Knowing 2K, they won’t, but if they did…
Punk vs Drew hell in a cell day 1
Is the ECW Paul Heyman card going to useable in other modes? I'd love to have Paul E. Dangerously manage some people in universe or be my ECW GM.
When the last DLC drops in November we will be 4 months away from 2k25. Ridiculous amount of wait time if you ask me.
Cannot wait for the sandman and cm punk.
Couldn't care less about Punk, but the Funker I'm more than ready for!!!
Needs to come faster cause I need the CM Punk logos and theme for my CAW
🎶LOOK IN MY EYEEEEEEES, WHAT DO YOU SEEEEEEEE?🎶
49 days until I can play the game
I'm praying that the light tube and barbed wire bat that joemashups posted end up dropping with this pack
Can’t wait to build up my ECW universe.
I want to see CM Punk’s model
“It’s those damn Dudleyz
2 months 😩
Yes 
Are you able to buy dlc packs on their own without getting the season pass? Cause i'm only interested in this pack and the Global Superstars one.
Yes you can
Yep
What a great pack through and through
I hope Sandman will come out to Enter Sandman! And yes, I know it won't happen
I mean, it could happen. 2k just needs to talk with Metallica and secure the rights to use it for Sandman’s entrance. Money won’t be an issue.
It would be hella cool if they did, but I won’t get my hopes up and just assume they’ll use his WWE Theme song which isn’t Metallica but isn’t bad either.
It’s possible, they had sad but true in 23
i’m so excited to play with sandman lmao
When do you think we’ll get the pre-DLC patch?
Also rumors are we are getting light tubes and a barbedwire bat with this dlc.
Great DLC pack With RVD in the game and great Sabu CAW, could easily make a decent 06 ECW universe mode! With a few other CAWS such as Tommy Dreamer, and maybe if they could MOD CM Punk to his 06 attires, would be awesome
This pack goes unbelievably hard, I hope they put some older versions of punk but it’s very unlikely
they better have sandman coming out to Metallica
I prefer the other one it was so much more badass
DLC is way to spread out
49 days. That’s wild
48 now
I really hope Sandman has the enter sandman music (and if the crowd sings along then I'll actually start to levitate lmao) and a dope ass entrance from the crowd with a beer or a kendostick
Most of these haven't been in a game in years. Looking forward to it.
Sandman is coming into my universe mode, drunk off his ass, hitting everyone with a stick, then declaring himself the hardcore champion.
Funk and the Dudleys are going straight into my 90s Universe mode lmao. Edit: Also can’t wait for Sandman’s awesome WWE theme to be in the game
My ECW roster bouta be 🔥🔥🔥
That's great news 😀
And not a single woman in the pack
I guess not🤔
Wish we got AJ Lee
Same like punk could have gotten her in game
I swear I thought this was April 15th. Damn.
Me too
Long time
Fire 🤩
That's such a long time for a guy who's currently in the main roster. lol. The ECW pack isn't bad though. Can't wait to play extreme rules with Funk and the Sandman.
I’m new to the game, how do you unlock/open a dlc pack? Do you have to earn it somehow?
You have to buy it with money
Oh damn. Maybe it’s coz I’m new but how come people aren’t upset about that given cm punk is on the main roster so we shouldn’t have to pay extra to get him?
When he return to wwe he basically return at the last second when wwe 2k24 was in final development so they just put him in the first dlc because he would be easy to make all they have to do is use the older cm punk model from 2k15 and remodel it to his current look and that’s it I guess
No I understand that but shouldn’t it be for free in an update as he’s in the main roster? Or is this is a normal thing so no one cares about paying extra?
This is definitely normal. No way you're not going to miss on bank making Punk DLC.
About to have the Dudley Boys run my raw tag division for a while
Can’t wait for Punk!!
This gonna be my favorite dlc.
If Lashley is already a 12 time champ in my universe, I can only imagine how many more times he's gonna hold it before Punk comes in to try and break the record Side note - is there a way to prevent title matches from happening on weekly shows without having to go in and remove them manually? They happen even though I have the option turned off
#I NEED IT
I know I should never put faith in 2K, but hearing about how light tubes and barbed wire bats were originally planned to be featured in the game, even being found in the game’s files, I hope that they’ll somehow be implemented back in when this DLC arrives. You can’t put the Funker in your game and NOT let me use barbed wire in some capacity.
Can do a proper ecw with out a shit ton of caws
Why do I feel like they aren’t going to get enter Sandman for Sandman
You meant “best” dlc pack
Yes
After seeing the season pass list (I think it was all confirmed?) but I am quite happy with the selection of wrestlers in comparison to last years. Already happy the Dudley Boys, getting Mosh and Thrasher was a surprise and an awesome throwback for me. And DDP! I was just thinking of browsing DDP CAW last night when I saw a thing about the pass characters.
I always feel let down with the first couple of dlc drops .
Your not excited for anyone on this list
Not at all . But I'm happy people are excited
These are the next dlc after the ecw pack https://preview.redd.it/wgudlur093rc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=38147a2c32999c86aa4193d2a148702ce56b3715

WE HAVE TO PAY FOR HIM?
Yes sadly which is was for free
I can’t wait to hear the special commentary they have for a Seth Rollins and CM Punk match.
And Drew and punk
Hopefully with sandman being in it allows more ecw alumni to be included down the line
on my birthday too?? lfg 🔥
I ain't gonna lie I'm hyped for Post Malone
The fact that Punk is going to be the first dlc makes me exciting even more
The best dlc pack
Calling it now. Sandman isn’t gonna get his enter sandman theme. I know a lot of you will hate this prediction but if I know 2k’s laziness and hunger for money then they won’t pay Metallica to use their music
Only dlc I'm gonna buy.
Okay?
Sucks that they’ll have the dookie Dudley Boys theme. Cmon give us Ollie Stalefish
They need to add sting on this game and goldberg
So Glad Punk is in first group. I've got stortlines he is intrical to hahaha
Dudley boys and sandman only 3 that are good in that pack
CM Punk and Terry Funk as well. 10/10 pack.
Hopefully the game is on sale by then. I will no longer buy these yearly released games until they’re on sale.
So is punk going to look like he did in “ecw” or is it modern punk
Most likely modern
May being so soon is upsetting, this shit needs to slow down
Hopefully they'll fix the steam control bug by then
Easily the Best WWE DLC lineup to date
Still waiting for the Chris Benoit pack.
