WWE 2K16: Bugs / Glitches / Issues List & Report Your Own

Just like previous years, let's help 2K Sports gather and identify issues in the game by using this thread, in hope of a future patch to fix them. Please be as descriptive as possible when reporting a glitch/bug/flaw, and see if you can replicate it to make sure it was not a one-time occurrence.

2K Sports has also a way to allow you to directly report issues to them at this link: http://support.2k.com/home

Updated List (After Patch 1.05):

CREATE A SUPERSTAR

• Creating Alt. Attire for a Created Superstar resets his moveset
• Logos are losing quality after their positioning is applied and become pixelated (example: http://forums.2k.com...r-applying-Why)
• Logos are still fading into transparency and distorting when stretched too wide, like in WWE 2K15
• The height paramater is unclear how it's represented, as it skips from 5'9 to 6'0, with no 5'11 and 5'10
• Created Divas have a minimum height of 5'6", making it impossible to make shorter divas like AJ Lee or Alexa Bliss (while in-game divas such as Layla are shorter than that)

ONLINE / COMMUNITY CREATIONS

• List all problematic moves for online gameplay: http://forums.2k.com...-in-this-thread
• Issue where random logos from other creations downloaded from CC are appearing in place of logos of other creations, even getting combined / mixed up from different creations such as Superstars and Arenas. (It might have to do with the fact that now Logos are downloaded separately and no longer attached to the specific creation?)
• It can occur that uploaded Superstars won't show up in the "Upload" Slots (so they can't be replaced and they don't count towards the upload count)

PRESENTATION

• Wrong Entrances Positions: If you set the members correctly for a trio entrance (example Wyatt Family) you can't have Harper & Rowan to be the tag team of the group, it will always have to be Wyatt in the first slot. This issue has been present for 4+ years now.
• Championships bend during entrances when using an alternate attire with a jacket for an in-game superstar
• Ring Announcements: Ring announcements have several issues with random names/phrases, sometimes from previous matches, being thrown into them
• Moves that occur after the bell that have already been initiated before the 3 count end up with the wrestler applying the move breaking out of the animation while the opponent stays in the move animation getting it done to him by invisible wrestler
• When you create an alt attire for a superstar, the unique warm up animations (if he has one) becomes generic

WWE UNIVERSE MODE

• Personality Traits don't seem to get boosted accordingly to player actions. For example, heelish actions still build up the "respecful" trait. Link:
• WWE Universe mode has several instances where it books "Nobody vs Nobody" matches in the card (and obviously trying to play those matches causes a crash)
• You can't make double-title matches (where two champions face each other with the winner getting both championships)
• The "Elimination Chamber PPV theme Option" is missing from WWE Universe Mode
• The NXT ArRival arena can't be selected in Universe Mode
• Match location shows up before every match. Should only be shown during the opening bout.
• Match location won't save if you want a show in one selected city. Also, commentators might mention different cities where the show is supposedly taking place, ignoring the setting.
• If a Champion retains his title via count out or DQ the match and the news will state: 'New Champion Crowned' even though it was retained.

GAMEPLAY

• Everyone can do the Curb Stomp into RKO rather than just Randy Orton

• Corner Top Rope Suplex OMG only requires 1 finisher now so it causes issues if you have a Corner finisher.
• After Patch 1.04, you can no longer pick up opponents with their back facing you
• Multi-man Pin Glitch: http://forums.2k.com...mber-pin-glitch

MISCELLANEOUS

• Multi Title Entrances are missing
• There are 2 current-day Mr. McMahon's in the manager selection list. One is overall 81 while the other is overall 82.
• Arena selection is unavailable for Royal Rumble/Elimination Chamber matches in exhibition (but it's possible in Universe Mode)
• You can't export your CAS from MyCareer
• After losing a title in MyCareer, the title goes to the default title holder rather than the guy you just lost it to
• Not all theme songs appear in Create an Entrance, causing them to disappear when editing certain Superstars (for example Undertaker 99)
• The Brothers of Destruction 1 entrance is not selectable, so for example it can't be given to '98 Taker and Kane
• For Custom championships, the title holder's name doesn't appear on the name plate.
• Create An Entrance: Not all lighting setups are available to be used. For example Finn Balor (Demon), Chris Jericho, Retro Kane, etc.

FIXED IN PATCH 1.05 (February 2, 2016):
 

• WWE Universe: Addressed an issue that occurred when the "WWE 2K16 Future Stars Pack" was installed where WWE Universe elements would reset (ongoing rivalries, calendar changes, edited shows, championship rankings)
• WWE Universe: The "Weeks Held" statistic for a Championship now reflects total weeks held correctly
• Logos: Added the ability for a creator to delete self-uploaded logos from WWE Community Creations and the My Logos area in Logo Manager
• Aerial Range: Adjusted the aerial range attribute to have effect on how far a Superstar can jump with diving/springboard attacks
• Custom Arena: Created a pattern option for stage display elements to support both static and non-static presentation. Stage display elements set to “Pattern A” will remain static. Elements set to “Pattern B” will be replaced by Superstar trons when appropriate (such as during entrances)
• The Bull Hammer animation was restored to go right into the Elbow like WWE 2K15 (instead of first going through a grapple like old games)

All WWE 2K16 Patch 1.02 Fixes: http://www.thesmackd...ased-full-notes

I'm having an issue where random logos from other creations I've downloaded from CC, are appearing over logos of other creations. An example being, I have a custom Neville attire I downloaded from CC and a custom Nikki Bella attire I also downloaded from CC. For some reason, two parts of Nikki Bella's outfit appear over two logos on Neville's entrance t-shirt. This seems to only happen with alt attires I download for in game superstars. Actual created superstars/divas aren't effected. I don't know what's causing this, but it's really irritating. I have yet to see someone else report this issue.

For Create A Move-Set when setting signatures and finishers, if you try to give anyone a Strong Strike signature or finisher and they also have another standing finisher, they CAN'T do the other finisher. Example: I gave Ziggler Superkick and Zig Zag as finishers, he can only do the Superkick, and never Zig Zag.

• Roman Reigns is flying over the audience in his entrance at the WrestleMania arena

Spoiler

Spoiler

A number of clothing items aren't selectable in CAW mode. For example, all but one of Christan's tights variations from last year's Showcase and the Uso's yellow trunks. (PS4)

when ever I click universe Mode the game freezes and sends me back to the tital page on XBOX 1  have not been able to use universe yet

More issues:

• Several trophies are not unlocking, in particular "Gentleman in the ring" and "Giant Spear"
• A.I. in Triple Threats won't interrupt pin attempts by the other A.I. character on the player
• Created Divas have a minimum height of 5'6", making it impossible to make shorter divas like AJ Lee or Alexa Bliss (while in-game divas such as Layla are shorter than that)

You can't use custom roster attires online, on PS4 at least. Crashing my console everytime. Even just tried using Seth Rollins in his gear changed to white that I made, still no good online.......Simple mistakes.

This isn't a PC glitch, rather PS4,  but sometimes after winning an exhibition match my character is invisible on the victory screen. This seems to only happen I have done a Break Out during the entrance. Also, during a tag team match in exhibition mode, I finished the match outside of the ring while my brother pinned the guy inside. This caused my character to become glitched during the victory screen, floating in mid air with his legs stretched out. Anyone else experienced this?

yeah i had this problem too.  I downloaded my upoaded nitro steel logo for my nitro arena/show. and when i downloaded this perfect hogan and went to set up his entrance, he had the nitro logo plastered all over his face.

The 619 (Tiger Feint & Kick Combo) is glitched. if you hit the hurricanranna whip (sig) and try to do it the finisher icon disappears. If you try to hit the 619 on the ropes or standing you get frozen and have to either reset the match or quit it.

Rivalries are still getting prematurely cancelled out before they're ever even played (Universe Mode). It happened to two Raw rivalries before I could play a single one of their match ups and to one rivalry on my Saturday night CAW show.

Also, I guess for the purposes of the games, there's a vaudeville trapdoor or something built under the arena to deposit the loser down during the victor's animation sequence. Except on very rare special occasions, the winner is celebrating the victory alone without any sign of the failed superstar/diva still lying in the ring following the defeat (the exceptions, of course, being animations where the two competitors aren't quite done with each other [either a post-match assault or handshake]).

I have yet to see any sign of the trophy for having forced an opponent to tap to a move that is not the finisher/signature (Come on; this submission system is nearly impossible to work with. GIMME A TROPHY!) Also, the "Quit it!" trophy upon implementing an injury status hasn't been unlocked yet. (I speak of forcing an opponent to bleed; last I checked, an "injury" status).

did you edit/change anything in universe (particularly edit a superstar)  cause that's when it happened to me. it used to do that on 2k14 as well

I have recently been getting an error where i upload a created superstar, it doesnt show that i have uploaded anything to the empty slot on My Upload menu, yet when i search it, i find the superstars are available and have been uploaded by me..... If i try upload again, it just uploads ANOTHER CAS to the Community Creations.... I dont know if i am getting the download credit for people downloading my stuff, but its a bit annoying, have 6 empty slots and i cant really upload anything.

I was able to upload fine previously...

Anyone else having this issue?

Creating Alt. Attire for a Created Superstar resets his moveset

Does copying the CAW before creating the alt attire still subvert this like it did in previous years? In case you don't know what I'm talking about, copying the CAW with the edited moveset would make said moveset the CAW's "default" and therefor it wouldn't reset when the alt attire was made. It was tedeous to do, but certainly better than having to redo movesets from scratch over and over again.

Strange (or sad?) that this bug was finally fixed with 2K15 and yet it gets reintroduced this year.

- Create a Superstar Bug/ Kane half mask bug

This bug occurs during the entrance and matches after you use the mask on one of your caws. It suddenly stretches and makes it uneasy to use, because its looks so horrendous. The mask that needs a patch is the Kane half mask, I attached files/photos involving the issue/bug

Thanks for all the submissions.

(It might have to do with the fact that now Logos are downloaded separately and no longer attached to the specific creation?)
• Alternate attires of Superstars and Divas (both in-game or custom-made) can't be used Online
• There is no way to turn off Created Content in online matches like you used to in previous games
• Seated Strong Strikes at the legs don't work (assigned in Create A Moveset), the standard kick always gets executed instead
• The "Stone Cold Said So" is another glitched trophy (video: https://www.youtube....h?v=7Zv6JuAYJRQ)
