Note: 2K Sports reached out to us with a correction. There is no discount on the WCW, NXT, and New Moves pack if you have a season pass.
Our Take
Even without the last three items included in the season pass, this seems like a solid offering. I've not yet had a chance to check the game out on new-gen consoles, but I've been a fan of Yuke's previous efforts and hope to see this in action soon.
