    This version of WWE 2K15 works if you’re not planning on buying a new-gen console anytime soon, are a big fan of the careers of the four leads, would like to play the exclusive Who Got NXT mode, and like the mechanics just the way they are. Custom creators, on the other hand, might as well continue to build up their creations on 2K14.

    WWE 2K15 on the PS3 is very much a clone of last year’s offering.

    A cut-down package that feels super stingy, despite the entertaining action between the ropes. [Jan 2015, p.76]

    Smaller roster, fewer options, and a disjointed single-player make this less impressive than previous WWE titles.

    They are flat retreads of their forebears at best, and stripped down expansion packs at their worst.

As someone who played some real stinkers during the PS1 era, this game takes the cake as the worst. WWE games have been on a decline for many years now since Smackdown vs. Raw 2008. While WWE13 and WWE 2K14 were better than the WWE Smackdown vs. Raw games from 2008-2011, in addition to WWE12, they were still extremely buggy games with dated engines both in gameplay and graphics. But at least both '13 and '14 were crammed with content. Sadly, 2K15 is the exact opposite. Small roster, many of which look like CAWs and not finely crafted character models that resemble their real life counterparts. In addition, long hair still looks like plastic in these games. As for the gameplay, it's as basic and glitchy as ever. This is pretty much just 2K14 with good content removed and glitches added. We all hoped that the shift from THQ to 2K would mean a better future for WWE games, but that's not the case. If anything, it's gotten a lot worse. As long as Yukes is at the helm, we'll continue to get yearly releases with little effort. They'll try to sell us on next year's game by saying how much more content it has than 2K15, but sadly more isn't always that much better when you're dealing with dated gameplay and glitches. Since Yukes is also the primary developer of the PS4/Xbox One versions, I'm not holding my breath for something better. I'm just expecting a prettier disaster. Full Review »

It's hardly worth unlocking everything just for more  versions of Del Rio, Batista, Orton, Daniel Bryan and more. While many wrestlers were left out. 2K treated this game like it was for PS2; like it couldn't handle too many options or too big of a roster.
    While the CAWS have some new cool moves for them at least; there's not enough music or entrances for them. And create a finisher was even cut out. The game can be fun but it's still very disappointing.
