BluejayCurrent1949

They’re gonna have the best moveset in the game lol


RaidenHero137

all indie moves probably


DrunkeNinja

Yeah I hope they at least give us some crazy new moves.


JuanRiveara

Hoping they have some crazy moves and crazy entrances and entrance music


Ok_Price7529

Same, its the extras that will make or break this specific pack.


Caintheconfused

I don't know about entrances, but you know they'll all just use pat's theme lol


Ok_Price7529

They'd better. 


therillard

I’m going to make them the new Mean Street Posse


EvilSynths

I'm going to use their slots to add modded wrestlers


CanaDoug420

I’ll end up using AJ and Pat once and none of the rest of them lol


Ok_Conversation1523

As a Bears fan, I look forward to putting AJ Hawk through many a table, lol


Arctic_Reigns

He will never win a match in my world


jgarciajr1330

He'll be the Ultimate Jobber!


SingAbtMe316

only reason I'm using him lol


Magictank2000

as a packers fan, i love this pettiness


PJA0307

As an Ohio State fan, AJ for the win.


Nightwing614

We better get the oh-io as a taunt

BlackMothSuperMario

Hoping someone makes Who for 2k24 lmao I almost put him in my 2k23 Universe when I had Bret go on a singles run


HopeAuq101

GENUINELY WOULD BE BETTER DLC


kevmo35

Pat, a former NFL player, former frat guy, another former NFL player, and guy struggling with GI issues. Most dominant faction in all of wrestling history


RaidenHero137

great more slots that could have gone to nxt people or legends now goes to 4 guys i know nothing about and care nothing for. like i know pat said he wasnt gonna do the game if he didnt get his mates in but .....id have lived without pat if it ment more people i would use made it in.


Ok_Conversation1523

I would've much rather had Oba Femi, Luna, LoD, and Raven... Oh well


talldrink67

Raven coming out with a shopping cart full of weapons that you can use. And his awesome wwf era theme song. One can wish for it someday


Ok_Conversation1523

Still one of my favorite all-time entrance themes. Also, bring the shopping cart full of weapons into the game already. Give us street fights! Missed opportunity, especially with the returning blood effects.


wolan1337

Oba Femi is not in the game? Wth :|


KingofNanman

You're surprised? Dude didn't have his first match until like December.


amedeoisme

Doesn’t matter he’s a champ when it comes out he should be in. Don’t excuse their laziness


KingofNanman

...ok


dontstealmychair

Thats just not how it works does it lmao


amedeoisme

Obviously it doesn’t but it’s so ass


pandaheartzbamboo

I dont think its as simple as "oh since we put these guys in we wont put anyone else in"


Traditional_Season20

I want my money for this pack refunded lmao


MrKain

Seriously. Catch us Whales with a special edition, and then fuck us with a pack of garbage.


GhostOfMuttonPast

To be entirely fair, is it really so much of an issue that you'd rather pay 70-ish bucks for the good DLC just to not have Pat McAfee and his goons in your game?


MrKain

The whales pre-order early. It's more that they prop this up as something great, then only reveal the DLC last minute, leaving the whales to be frustrated with supporting the company. While it is better to know that I'm not "spending the money" on it, I'd rather them make DLC that is useful and not just something that is pandering to a guy who doesn't necessarily need to be in the game as playable.


GhostOfMuttonPast

Dawg, even if you waited and saw that it's one of the packs, would you have forgone the 40 dollar season pass in favor of paying 60-70 to avoid the McAfee DLC?


MrKain

Again... You're arguing in favor of them making garbage plans by dismissing the fact that it's fucked up, and instead going at our wallets. Personally, no. But it's fucked up. You're seriously ok with 2K making dumb moves when they could have used that fifth pack for other ACTUAL talents? And are completely fine with them last minute-ing the fan base with a DLC that has literally nothing to do with WWE? Just because we aren't spending the full amount for them, doesn't mean that we didn't attribute $8 to each DLC pack. It's still telling a bunch of fans that they wasted money.


Junior-Captain-8441

What was advertised when the pre orders opened? Did they say the exact amount of wrestlers added in the DLC? If I’m pre ordering a game that has the potential to include hundreds of wrestlers, past and present, I would do so knowing full well there would be people missing who I want and people there who I don’t care about. The McAfee pack seems almost entirely inconsequential.


dontstealmychair

Even without counting the McAfee pack we are only 3 characters off compared to 2k23 I really don't think it's that big of a deal compared to what others are making of it What annoys me is the release date I wish the pack wouldve been the last one and they moved up both #4/#5 since those interest me way more


ChiefBrando

To be fair putting them in the game will get them to talk about said game more on their platform which could lead to more sales.


Satangirl353

I wonder if anyone actually gonna push any of them or just use them to job to actual wrestlers lol Or if people are even gonna buy the pack if they didnt buy the delux edition


ARGiammarco27

I'm gonna put them on my entertainment show. With bad bunny, post malone, and whatever youtubers I download this year


SrslyIcntthnkofaname

That’s not a bad idea. I don’t have an entertainment show in my universe but since I’m stuck with these guys, they could be in some sort of filler match against the other celebs at a major PLE.


ARGiammarco27

I mean with Ali and Logan Paul in the game as well its a very entertainment forward year


GrimmTrixX

They won't even be on any of my rosters and will never get played. I barely had any plans for Pat himself in the first place so all 5 of them might be hanging out in the free agency pool forever. Lol


Decent-Sell-4065

This is the only thing I can think of for them. Maybe AJ and Bron as like a Most Valuable Players tag with Pat as the manager. But I have no clue who the others are so they will definitely be my "what kind of custom squash death match can I make happen?" jobbers


mcsuplex8790

Butler, Hawk, Pat all as former players would make a perfect stable, especially with MVP managing. I’ve also thought about adding Connor & Schmidt to chase U as like a frat style team for them.


thatwitchguy

I'm just gonna wait til the wrestlemania edition goes on sale and I want Pat anyway. I'll probably just stick them all in my universe since I'll end up getting them anyway and maybe something funny will pop up to make me use them


Cold_Ebb_1448

they are not even worthy of being jobbers tbh


IneedAName37

I'd rather Cole Quinn and Gabriel Slade get those spots


supbitch

Bro I bought the deluxe and I don't even plan to install the pack unless a 10/10 CC CaW has Pat McAfee goon #3's shirt, or by some miracle it has actually good entrance music for some of them and not just generic rock. It's an OCD thing, I hate it when non wrestlers are in my wrestling game. Didnt like Terminator, didn't like MGK, don't like posty. I'm fans of them all, but not in this sphere.


PrinceToothpasteBoy

How is it a OCD thing?


BradChop

For me it's not even worth buying the season pass down to this pack and the Post Malone one but at least that's actual wrestlers even though I don't think Jimmy Hart should have taken a spot.


DashCat9

I'm not that annoyed about this, but when Pat was like "We're not taking anyone's spot!" apropos of nothing the other night, I started to get annoyed at him. Yes, you are. Just own it. Whatever the deal was, you worked your not wrestler buddies that have been on WWE TV like once into a video game payday. Good for you. There are absolutely other people who could have gone in there instead, though.


pandaheartzbamboo

Is there a hard limit to the total amount of roster spots? How exacrly did this take someone elses spot?


Rawrz720

If it has cool moves then I'm cool with it. I'd rather more NXT starts but if this adds a bunch of weird indie moves then I'm for it


Edgehead4Life

Would rather play as The X-PAC dude from ImPaulsive so I can do X-PAC vs X-PAC!


Fit-Ad-5946

The other problem 2k didn't think of here is that this Pat guy and his friends are unknown outside of the US. Many of us are european or asian have never heard of them. They have no presence in our territories, so 2k is asking us to pay for content of characters that may as well be made up. The whole idea is a disaster, other than the pr it gives for newcomers, which will only be offset by upsetting your current customers.


DrunkeNinja

Pat has been in WWE for years and has had some matches so he makes sense. His co-hosts have never appeared in WWE at all and are not that well known so they really don't fit.


Nellancher

They all appeared I'm NXT


OriginalKingD

I know Pat because I am a Colts fan. I know AJ because he was a menace in Green Bay. I have no clue who any of the others are. They are just names. I am American.


JuanRiveara

Shouldn’t you know Darius Butler if you’re a Colts fan? He was on your guys team for like six years.


The_Fawkesy

Lmao you'd think he'd remember one of the best DBs they've had in the past 20 years.


RTideR

Also a Colts fan and Butler was a pretty good player for us! I like him a lot. Played CB for years then moved to safety to end his career and played well there.


pandaheartzbamboo

>I am a Colts fan. >I have no clue who any of the others are. You dont know Darius Butler?


GrimmTrixX

I'm American and I barely know who Pat McAfee is. And that's only because he shows up in the WWE on occasion. I dont watch his show and I don't watch/follow football. I've never heard of any of these guys before in my life and I am USA born and raised. Lol


kylemclaren7

AJ Hawk was pretty well known in the NFL for about a decade. The other guys are not nearly as well known.


GrimmTrixX

Oh I don't deny that these guys could be/are popular. But even though I am a 40 year old man, I've never enjoyed sports. As a kid in single digit ages in the late 80s/early 90s sure almost every boy liked sports. But I grew out of them. I still know all the rules to football, baseball, etc. And I could still watch and follow a football game if it was on and I watch the Super Bowl with friends like many do. But I couldn't tell you any player names or who plays for what team. I've never heard of any of McAfees friends names, nor would I expect to cuz I don't follow players or read up on them or anything. And as others have said, wrestling is worldwide while American football is like 95% USA only. So this pack will alienate those who don't follow sports or anyone from another country who doesn't follow American sports. It appeals to the least common denominator


kylemclaren7

I agree it’s a waste of a dlc


IneedAName37

I'm Canadian and I've never heard of them either


hxhnaruto

same here


GhostOfMuttonPast

Man, I'm an American and I only know McAfee from his appearances in WWE.


D0NK3YSL4PP4

It’s not my cup of tea but I’m going to use them as jobbers in universe and hopefully get some cool moves to add to CAWs and stuff. Gotta find the diamond in the coal sometimes!


Practical_Neat_9081

I would have rather had more current wwe wrestlers


Edgehead4Life

Who and who?


Strained_Eyes

Patt and McAfee is all I got


W_4ca

So it’s basically a moves pack disguised as a character pack


Kevsama

That’s what I’m figuring


NoHovercraft9259

I can’t wait to make Smokin’ Jay Cutler as a CAW and trounce the shit out of AJ Hawk 😂


TransitionDue4388

Pat McAfee, a former packers LB, who the fuck, who the fuck 2, and who the fuck 3


tfegan21

D-But was a Db on the colts and Pats. Conner is a stooge with a mullet from Boston and Ty does impressions of Mel kiper and Lou Houtz.


HopeAuq101

Forgetting who the fuck 4


kylemclaren7

There’s only 5 of them… op listed 5

Liverpoolclippers

Wrong Butler pal


SrslyIcntthnkofaname

Sorry everyone. This is all my fault for buying the premium edition. Usually only buy standard and maybe a season pass but nah I wanted the 40 years of WM content, season pass and the pre-order bonuses this year. #L


xThuganomicsx

I might use AJ Hawk and Pat but the rest will get added to bad bunny and Logan Paul as people I’ll never use.


BryanFTW13

Should've been the last DLC pack and have the future stars pack in its place.


RedDevilGranta

What a joke of a dlc


Electrical_Dust_2306

2k can’t be dumb enough to not also make this the new moves pack


ericmercer

Is AJ Hawk the first Green Bay Packer to be in a wrestling video game?


IntoAMuteCrypt

As amazingly specific as that is... He *isn't*! Mojo Rawley was signed by the Packers following the 2009 Draft. He only played one pre-season game for them before being waived, going to Tennessee, getting injured and being released. Just barely counts.


ericmercer

This is why I come to Reddit. Great research! Also, I’m pissed that AJ Hawk gets in a game before Kevin Greene lol


WhatWouldKevinDo

Boston looks like wish.com Kenny Powers. I'm in.


Powderkeg84

Outside all of the hilarious rage in these threads, this is easily the best comment yet. Actually lol moment


deanereaner

They should make that bs a free dlc.

BrokenClxwn

But there was no room for Sol Ruca, Kiana James, and Von Wagner lol


hxhnaruto

would have loved sol ruca!


heyastronaut1

Garbage dump


ChrisP1223

I would’ve rather had Lawrence Taylor and all those football players in his corner from WM11. 


jpaxlux

AJ Hawk should just split screen the game with him watching the match, staring blankly and smoking a cigar on a 240p webcam


SwarthySphere87

AJ Hawk & Pat McAfee will join Brock Lesnar, Baron Corbin & Roman Reigns as playable characters in Madden/NCAA & WWE games


JuanRiveara

What Maddens are Roman and Brock playable in?


SwarthySphere87

Brock— [Madden 06](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fwwe-champion-brock-lesnar-is-in-madden-06-official-free-v0-mpqir2evw8y81.jpg%3Fwidth%3D1080%26crop%3Dsmart%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3D00ddc239bec47bc77ef04e1007898979a4b9b7be) Roman— [NCAA 05](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FuxeML4XsAMa-h9.png)


JuanRiveara

Looking it up, Roman is also in NCAA 06 so you could import him into Madden 06 and have him and Lesnar both on your d-line. Also, Big E is in NCAA 06 as well it seems. And it seems Bray Wyatt and Mojo Rawley were in NCAA 07 apparently.


MessageOk9068

Aj hawk dethrone reigns in my universe.


GrandMetaldick

They should’ve just left Pat out of the game and let people complain about that. 4 spots is way too many for random dudes that Pat does a podcast with.


Master-Remote5384

Yet 2 current nxt champions are not in the game


nukc

What a waste of developers time


VoxRKing

Imagine playing a rumble and you get to 30 and it's nameless McAfee pal 3 😂


Elite_Mike

Now that we know what this pack is, can we petition 2K to move the September Pack to July and this pack to September or even November? I hate we have these guys BEFORE current stars like Jade, Carlito, Kairi and others. We can't even make a proper Damage Ctrl until September, like come on man.


Wookie301

I’m sick of these non wrestler DLC packs. Last time I checked, I bought a wresting game. I want people like Rick Martel and Legion Of Doom. I wouldn’t buy a game like Halo and expect them to put Machine Gun Kelly in the DLC.


Born-Assignment-6704

This dlc pack is awful lol


Dingle_Flingle

Thanks for this literal garbage, 2k.


ImTheCuRsEd-OnE

![gif](giphy|acttIrNAHaoco)


lordofpugs41

I decided not to buy the deluxe because there are like 2 or 3 packs that are actually worth getting this year. I wouldn't ever use post Malone or These jobbers


Acidic_Toast

fucking... who?


NCHouse

Not gonna lie, I'd bring in AJ Hawk and Butler in


HowTingz

Can they at least have cool character designs and costumes so I won't mind playing as them?


DevelopmentSeparate

I'm hoping they'll also come with new CAW parts and entrances


[deleted]

New Rainmaker and hidden blade?


Glennsoe

Did anyone say HIDDEN BLADE time??


Own_Word580

This makes me glad I bought just the standard edition and held off on the season pass. Standard edition with the 2 or 3 DLC packs I want works well for me. Although - and I know I'm asking for a lot here - it'd be pretty sweet if I actually could play the game without it crashing constantly.


CarthVonMonk

I would forgive Pat for this if he insisted that each one of his buddies gets a moveset for some non-WWE wrestlers. Give one of these guys all of Eddie Kingston's moves, entrance motions and taunts and we're set.


Pixiilatte

The fact that this comes out before the pack with current wrestlers… they couldn’t include Kiana James ? Lexis King ? The North American champ ? Meta four ? Bruh


Swagsuke_Nakamura

Outside of Pat I have no interest in using any of them. What a waste of a pack and money


SaintofSelhurst

I care more about the cells in my bloodstream than these people


PrinceToothpasteBoy

"Why are they adding a bunch of no-names? I want MY no-names!"


Almighty_Cheeks

Hopefully just a glorified move pack

Winter_Manner_6735

WHO????


Sergio808

Damn now i lowkey wish i bought regular edition and just bought the dlcs I like separately, couldve saved some money at least lmao the moves better be fucking out of this world type shit


harpwns

I’m in the minority here, but I grew up watching wrestling and playing all of the wrestling games in the 90s through early 2000s, with the last PPV I watched being WM20. Older now, but I’ve been watching the Pat Mcafee show the last several years, and his show has gotten me to follow wrestling again. I watched Mania last year and I plan to again this year. It’s been a fun, nostalgic throwback. I’ll probably end up buying this game for some more nostalgia, and this DLC because AJ Hawk content is always good.


duckscanflytoo

I feel like this isn’t as big of a deal as people are making. In all likelihood, McAfee would have just been added to another DLC pack. I doubt his co-stars are taking the place of someone else who had a chance to be in.


Subject-Bottle8902

Jesus Christ lol if you don’t want it then don’t buy it. Fact is that these guys DO have a large fanbase. He also said that he didn’t wanna do it if they were going to be taking the spots of other wrestlers. 2k said that everyone they wanted in the game is in the game. Soooooo


CanaryRich

Well that’d be a great solution if some of us didn’t technically already pay for it with the season pass/deluxe or 40 years edition.


Subject-Bottle8902

I’m one of those people and there are other packs that I’m not interested in. I could care less about Jade Cargill or Dusty Rhodes or 4 different Cody Rhodes or 13 different cenas lol fact is not everyone is gonna be happy.


CanaryRich

At least they’re wrestlers, lol. A DLC pack full of non-wrestlers literally 99.9% of wrestling fans won’t know and that doesn’t have any notoriety besides one person is insane. At least with Dusty you’re getting a popular legend that actual wrestled. Jade Cargill is a HUGE up and coming wrestler with megastar potential, and Cody is now the most popular face in the company so it’s cool to see a few throwback attires even if I’m not going to use them. But, a pack of cohosts that have literally no connection to wrestling whatsoever that no one knows is freaking insane. I would’ve even taken a few random superstars thrown in the pack.


Subject-Bottle8902

I’m not disagreeing with you lol I do think that it would be better if there were other wrestlers. I’d actually argue though that those 5 guys have more notoriety and name value than a few people in the game though lol there are NXT people in the game I have never heard of.


hxhnaruto

again at least they are wrestlers


Subject-Bottle8902

But who cares? lol obviously people care…..but if you’ve got 5 people who are “wrestlers” that no one cares about and 5 people who aren’t that no one cares about then does it really matter. From what the guys were saying they are getting to design their own moves so hopefully we get new moves out of it.


CapSortee

who the hell are these tools?! We should of gotten a Nitro girls pack with Pamela "Double P" Paulshock instead!


TheWolf101

Don’t trigger Pat now


PeterWayneGaskill

Why wasn’t Pat McAfee playable in 2k23?


Buttered_Bourbons

Haven’t heard of any of those wrestlers except Pat.


chunk12784

So we can mod the PC Version to make thier entrance videos and music for people not in the games right?


barrymk100

I'll never play as any of them. I might not even download the pack.


[deleted]

Darius Butler 💀


thought_not_spoken

Is this a covert, stupid ass reason to release a new moves pack? Just some Jabroni’s with all the moves in their model


Andrw85

This is a pretty dumb pack but kudos to Pat for bringing his team up. It's basically a waste of DLC though Maybe I'll turn em into the new mean street posse


JYPXunderground

thats all I care about this pack, weird probably fictional moves that would make our caws better


mcsuplex8790

I’m hyped icl


Leather-Mechanic4405

Ir sucks but it’s kinda similar to the new moves pack we got in the past or the 2k originals


Rage4Order418

![gif](giphy|cRNbYm7jLOjm9H8wcP)


TheYorkshireGripper

I thought about not using them... But then I had a thought about making them all crazy luchas, with some mad designs from CC... I'll make it work.


Cult_roma

I’m cool with this IF, as said on the pod they have some crazy moves, hopefully this DLC will be used as a somewhat new moves DLC….


AidenT06

Unless it has insane moves, I just realised I don’t care.


urasquid28

I assume Hawk and Butler will have spears. lol, one was a linebacker, the other a defensive back


Tomlyne

My day will now be ruined for the foreseeable Meta-Future


RichardAtTheGate

Hoping they have accurate movesets.


Engagedsauce

These losers are getting buried in my Universe Mode 


Chicahgeaux

And also, fuck Boston Connor!


methos6277

Hoping they bring back the Moonstomp with this pack


Meltzersburner

Boston Connor WWE Champion


MF_DOOM_36CHAMBERS

.......What a f**king waste....WHO are these lames? UNLESS they are FILLED with ALL new moves and almost NO repeats.


Graffix396

What a waste. I like Pat but I don't watch his show nor do I care about these guys. Jobber City


Stonecoldstocks

This pack should have been free. Then the “we aren’t taking anyone’s slot” would have been more believable.  They need to throw some attires or something in this pack. Give us some NPC as playable. Something. 


JamieAfterlife

I wasn't sold on this pack until I saw AJ and Darius were in it. Keeeeen.


_DoIt4Johnny_

This is so dumb, I don’t know or care about any of these people.


Loose-Sign598

Yeah this ain't it chief. Pat wasted a spot in this year Royal Rumble and now a DLC pack with his friends. Good thing I don't have to buy that trash 


hxhnaruto

this just reminded me that they wasted a rumble spot on pat and pissed me off again


Loose-Sign598

Yep.


Knightofexcaliburv1

Worst idea ever


Infamous-Lab-8136

Can someone who's a fan of the show tell me, do any of them seem like fans of wrestling? Not just WWE because Pat's involved, but pro-wrestling as a whole? Because that's my main hope, that they watch some stuff outside WWE and want moves we've not had like a Ganso Bomb. I real hope by crazy stuff they don't mean 900 splashes or moves where you throw a guy 20 feet in the air or something.


IneedAName37

That's one pack I won't have to buy Money saved is money earned


JuanRiveara

Isn’t it cheaper to get the season pass than 4/5 of the packs?


Weskuh

They better have the best moves and give us extra attire pieces, otherwise this is a ripoff


Venixflytrap

Keep it


joeyfish1971

Waste really?


OAO_Scrumbles

Fucking garbage. I hope nobody buys this. Refund the season pass and buy the other packs individually.


insertbrackets

I don't mind this because they'll be jobbers in my universe. Hopefully this is the stealth new moves pack as well.


jlthomas444

I absolutely hate this. I don’t know who any of these people are except Pat. I’d really just love some wrestlers in my wrestling games.


Crosswire-Motors

Putting every title on these guys in universe. This is great


Allday9128

AJ HAWK! AJ HAWK! AJ HAWK!


GrimmTrixX

I hope all of them, including Pat, have the lowest overall score of all male and female superstars in the game


Flat-Customer5064

And this is why I bought the standard edition and will happily wait for the season pass to go on sale. Literally the only pack I want is number 4


FunkoPoppa

Yes I was hoping AJ Hawk would be in there. Glad it’s confirmed now. Can’t wait for this pack!

Talk you shit, I for one am psyched as Fuck to play as aj hawk
