Roster
2K announced on their social media accounts that WWE 2K16 will feature the "largest roster in the game's history", featuring over 120 unique playable characters, nearly double the 67 that were in last year's game. A developer for the game then clarified that the 120 unique playable characters count does not include potential DLC, and that all 120 characters are included and will be released with the game.
2K revealed that despite "push(ing) as hard as we could" to include them, for "various reasons" Sasha Banks, Charlotte, Becky Lynch, and Bayley (the Four Horsewomen of NXT) will not be in the game or included as DLC. 2K also revealed that WWE denied them the inclusion of Cody Rhodes as himself in the game, although he'll be included as his Stardust gimmick.
WWE 2K16 will mark the video game debuts of Aiden English, Baron Corbin, Colin Cassady, Enzo Amore, Eva Marie, Finn Bálor, Haku, Hideo Itami, Kalisto, Charles Wright in his Kama gimmick, Kevin Owens, Mikey Whipwreck, Savio Vega, Simon Gotch, Cody Rhodes in his Stardust gimmick and Tyler Breeze.

The 2K Showcase mode also returns, with one showcase detailing the career of cover star Stone Cold Steve Austin.
MyCareer
MyCareer returns from 2K15, with 2K claiming the mode will be significantly expanded from last year's game. The mode will only be available on PS4 and Xbox One.[citation needed] Several changes have been made in order to give the player more control over their superstar. The character's personality can be influenced through actions, such as forming alliances and rivalries. The Authority are featured in the mode, with the player having the option to support or defy them, causing their career to be influenced. Players are also able to interfere in other superstar's matches in order to create rivalries.
WWE Universe
The WWE Universe mode has been tweaked, with the game now allowing a single superstar to be booked on multiple shows. Wikipedia
