    Despite the fact that this entry does make some genuine improvements, it fails to innovate enough to save the series. [Issue#252, p.66]

    The WWE 2K series has experienced a very rough transition to the “next generation” of consoles. After two straight years of solid releases in WWE 13 and 2K14, Yukes has hit a wall.

    WWE 2K15 is short on new features, repetitive and fails to deliver the complexity that is WWE. Additionally, online gameplay is close to unplayable due to lag and the importance of timing. As a result this simulator will likely fail to satisfy even the most dedicated fans of wrestling.

    Graphically assured as it is, almost every other element of the 15-year-old series has been cut back, tampered with pointlessly or outright ruined. The series hasn't been good for a long time now, but this year is the first it's been actively bad. The wait for a great new WWE game continues.

    In their rush to say "look, we're next-gen now!" the developers seem to have forgotten to include the game along with the graphics. Like inIn their rush to say "look, we're next-gen now!" the developers seem to have forgotten to include the game along with the graphics. Like in the 360 and PS3 versions, the creation suite has been destroyed, with most of the custom animations gone along with custom stories, finishers, and even music. Somehow the current gen version has managed to go one step forward and not only remove that but also custom arenas, belts, and female CAWs. But at least the last-gen versions have matches in them. There are over forty match types that were present in 2K14 but are missing in 2K15. There have been more match types REMOVED than actually exist in the game. There's a reason this game was review embargoed.… Full Review »

Think of this game asThis is a new game that they built on a new engine from the ground up. I expected that a lot of things would be cut out. Think of this game as the foundation of WWE games on the new consoles. The game play itself in this game is miles ahead of 2K14 and 2K15 on last gen consoles. You can feel the heavier hits, the more realistic pace, and watch the stamina system really take control of a match. Matches closer represent what you would see on Monday Night Raw due to the stamina and slow, not arcade like, pace. The showcase mode gets the job done, it focuses on two of the best rivalries in WWE history, and is objective based so I can unlock things, great. My career is pretty good now, but it will only receive more work and polish as this is the foundation for the future. This came accomplished way more than I wanted it to... remember SVR 2008: At least it's not that bad. Expect that now that the engine is done, for them to do a slight graphical update for 2K16, but really focus on creation, universe, and my career. Now that WWE 2K15 has made an awesome foundation, expect 2K16 to be the game of the ages.… Full Review »
