The 1.04 Update finally addresses a soft crash that occured on the PS4 version of the game if players were to start it up without an active internet connection, while also fixing a number of problematic in-game scenarios, creation suite issues and WWE Universe mode bugs. Fans have also reported updated entrances for Neville and Zayn for buyers of the NXT Arrival Pack.
Despite the numerous fixes, however, the patch has also created a major issue of its own. While Hulk Hogan certainly isn't the agile athlete he was back in his prime, players have reported him now completely freezing up post-patch while attempting to deliver his potent Atomic Leg Drop finisher, effectively crashing the game. 2K Games were quickly made aware of the issue via Twitter, and have pledged to address it in the next game update.
