WWE 2K16 1.03 Patch Live with tweaks to Submissions and several fixes - Full Notes (PS4 & Xbox One)

The WWE 2K16 1.03 Patch is available on PS4 and Xbox One. Here's the full list of fixes and updates.



Notably, 2K Tonight now uses "Fair Fight" rules, meaning no created characters are allowed. Only default SuperStars and Divas can compete in this mode. You'll also notice that stamina now regenerates during submission attempts, and that submissions have also undergone balance tweaks overall. At the very end you'll see that the Legends Pack is the next DLC release. We'll have the launch date for that soon!
