Brock Lesnar

[gregory]

Is Brock Lesnar banned from the game?

[Zeokage]

No-one knows for sure yet.

Might be like the bella twins, they was in 2K23, but all the modes where they do updates, like myfaction, probably silent treatment.
Nikki Bella never got a myfaction card in 2k23.
Mandy Rose no playable diamond card 2k22.

So if they do get in, some modes they might do silent treatment or whatever you wanna call it on them. I plan on doing a lot more of Universe and MyGM, I'm gonna try not to do any MyFaction if anything steam achievement and thats it, if I'm achievement hungry, I didn't do all the achievements in 2k23. Those MyRise storylines way too long and just not into it. Felt like work not fun, imo. 2k24 is gonna be about having fun, not no myfaction quick 3 minutes or less cheesing for hours and then RNG game. I'm not gonna do that this time and have fun instead.
What I was getting was, MyGM, Universe, you decide whose in and what so, that silent treatment if they do it, it don't matter because you go play that mode and you turn those people active in those modes.

Smackdown hotel has him listed on their roster page & they tend to be very reliable when it comes to roster reveals. With the allegations coming out less than 2 months before release & factoring in that Brock vs Taker is likely to be in the Showcase that being one of if not THE biggest moments in Mania history in the last 10 years its highly unlikely he'll be removed

[Dave Johnson]

It's entirely possible that both Brock and Vince *could* be in the game, due to how close we were to launch before the news broke.
Contracts have likely already been finalized.
Only time will tell for sure, though.

They don't have any inside information and are speculating just like the rest of us.

He appeared on the original 40Years cover art which is likely why he's in their list. They probably haven't removed him for the same "it's probably too late to replace him" reasons.

I don't care about his drama and Vince but this is game so he's still legend. 2K delete him in main roster but still keep him in database that why.

Got a question.

Why remove Brock Lesnar?
Publicity? Marketing? Don't want bad rap?

Thing is people want him in game, and people getting angry if he's not in the game.
It's not the other way around, such if he's in game, this is bad bad bad.

It's the marketing team the WWE brand marketing team making these decisions?
People want him in the game, see more people getting angry if he's not in the game.
So to the brand marketing, might wanna recheck your data, recheck your decision and the outcome of what you expect feedback wise. I think get worse feedback excluding not including him.

Its a WWE Call. They want nothing to do with him due to the ongoing issues. Its a public image issue to WWE. Why advertise someone whos in litigation. Looks bad.

Todays time.
Community tends to act swiftly, Look at bud light.

So knowing the customer is key.
WWE fans are they angry at Mr. Mcmahon, whats their take on it, you have to look at that too. Are they angry with Brock Lesnar?

You don't want to be on the wrong side, where your fans support and you choose the side where you don't support.

40 years of wrestlemania is history, you can't take away something that happened.
Oddly enough the person who shaved Mcmahons head at Wrestlemania, I made a post is he gonna be in the game.

Since this game about wrestlemania, the person that shaved Mr.Mcmahons head from Bobby Lashley defeating Umaga at Wrestlemania 23.

If this year is about history, wrestlemania, you can't just erase history, they made history it happened.
Deciding on what to do when bad things happens, look at your fan base.
Why are you excluding you don't your fan base angry?
Maybe the fan base wants them INCLUDED, not excluded.

Lesnar is still playable in the Showcase it seems as it was too late to remove those matches but he just is not in the base roster. There will be a lot of top-quality CAWs of him on day 1 same with CM Punk. If he is cleared of any possible charges, I bet they will unlock him with one of the future patches since all his data is still in the game.

I wonder if the Bella Twins will be back.
Seems like they got shafted early 2K23.

John Cena proposed to Nikki Bella at a wrestlemania, part of wrestlemania history.
WWE has a lot of ups and downs, if you think about it.

They were legends, part of the reoccuring legends.
They also in Wrestlemania 30, 31, 33.

Like in 2K23, they said something like the DLCs from that 2K22 go into the next game 2K23.
Hence NWO people from 2K22 occuring in 2K23.

Bella Twins are legends they are not regular roster people and would be excluded because inactive, legends usually stay, reoccur. Pretty disappointing what happened to them.

The womens legends when doing MyGM, its already small, taking Nikki and Brie out, its even smaller.

Just seems like they part of the Brock Lesnar treatment.
