In a Q&A on Twitter, 2K addressed more issues surrounding WWE 2K15. First off, the company revealed that an “aggressive” program has been put in place to monitor and take action against any unruly gamers after a fan complained about an abundance of cheaters using hacked move sets in last year’s game. In fact, more players were banned in WWE 2K14 than ever before:
@bzilla8526 We have an aggressive moderation program in place for #WWE2K15 and will continue improving this every year. (1 of 2)

@bzilla8526 We banned more people for #WWE2K14 versus any previous year and take community response very seriously. (2/2) #WWE2K15 — WWE 2K (@WWEgames) October 30, 2014
Another gamer went on to ask if the gamer tags that appear on top of the divas and wrestlers could be removed. Unfortunately, the developer won’t be able to do so as the visual indicators are part of the requirements from Sony and Microsoft:
@AdamItkin34 Gamertags are part of our requirements for meeting compliance with our first party partners. #WWE2K15

2K also addressed the lack of the new WWE World Heavyweight Championship belt. The new title design was introduced in late August, which was past the deadline for the team to make any changes to the videogame. Therefore, they had to use the outdated version under the old logo:
@GianniLobikis Unfortunately, no. The new championship design was released in August – after the team’s deadline to make changes. #WWE2K15

Last but not least, the company also confirmed that there aren’t any WCW arenas in this year’s release:
@TheIconStinky There are no WCW arenas available this year. #WWE2K15
