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.… Expand

Not THAT big of a deal, but I was slightly upset. The main issue for me is the fact that they completely morphed how matches are played. They introduced more QTEs and little minigames into matches now that are annoying. For example, you do a grapple with your opponent, choose which style of lock to put them in, rock-paper-scissors style play means they can get the better lock on you. Next, a cursor comes up and you have to keep it in the precise center to reverse them/successfully execute a move. This is beyond stupid. The previous system was much better in that whoever did the grapple first won the lock and then the opponent had the chance to reverse with R2. Why change this? The worst thing of the game by far and ruined gameplay for me.    … Expand

It fast forwards to the end of your career. I don't consider this a spoiler, because it skips all of the content that you wouldn't know about otherwise. This is not a bug, it is purposefully designed that way.... No title defenses of the WWE title, false advertising, and program errors plague this game. Very few amount of cut scenes in career mode, per hours of gameplay. Most interactions are pop-up messages from other superstars.

    Roster isn't very current, and WWE Universe is about the same. Wait until next year if you want to get a WWE game. Also in WWE career, prepare to move like a super heavyweight at the beginning. I really did look forward to this game, but it just doesn't stack up. Sound track is a mixture of random genres of music that don't mesh well either.

    The rivalry stories are good, and about on par with the last few years.

    Many match types have been removed, no custom titles, no custom storylines, and CAW has had many clothing items removed.

    Advice, don't buy this game. You will be finding reasons to justify why you purchased this game. Trust me, I really tried to come around to liking it. When "Smackdown! Here comes the Pain" from the PS2 over shadows a 4 gen product, you know it really is not worth it.    … Expand

    Coming from someone who tries their best to really enjoy every game I buy at full price, I just can't get behind this one. WWE's debut on next-gen just feels empty, lacking that feeling of control that made the past two entries worth picking up. The very first thing you'll notice is the music; instead of being greeted by John Cena's theme on startup, you get a playlist of "current" songsComing from someone who tries their best to really enjoy every game I buy at full price, I just can't get behind this one. WWE's debut on next-gen just feels empty, lacking that feeling of control that made the past two entries worth picking up. The very first thing you'll notice is the music; instead of being greeted by John Cena's theme on startup, you get a playlist of "current" songs from the most random genre pools that never seems different.. You'll consistently hear "Ready" by B.o.B followed by "Workin'" by Big Smo every other cycle. While I will admit to liking most of the songs, none of them (even the so called WWE Version of "Wild Ones" doesn't exactly scream wrestling) feel at home in a WWE game. Beyond the weird mix of rap, rock, country, and dubstep, the main problem with the soundtrack is the absolute lack of variety. No longer do you have over twenty themes to pick from as in 2k14, but a grand total of twelve. You'll hear these songs a lot, because the creation suite takes a godawfully long time to do just about anything. When you're just trying to find a good pair of pants within the small selection you're given, listening to Flo Rida for the fifth time gets aggravating quickly. Speaking of the character creation suite, gone is most of what made it fun. I never used any of the crazier options present in WWE 13 or 2k14, but the variety was nice. Here, every CAW will look the same regardless of tweaking. You can no longer pad out the small Divas roster with created divas, either. This presents a huge problem given the love the community has for content creation. At the very least, you can finally edit Superstar outfits to create, for example, the current look of Dean Ambrose without sacrificing authenticity. Clothing options are just poorly thought out. In addition to the lackluster CAW suite, the MyCAREER mode is nothing special. Sure, you can now start from the bottom and work your way up, unlike putting a created Superstar into Universe, but playing through the first four tutorial matches with Bill DeMott yelling at you is truly an experience. They get points for realism, but you'll hear the same couple lines every time he feels your performance is lacking. In the tutorial match where you essentially have to let your opponent beat the Christ out of you in order to kick out of a pin, you'll hear him telling you how terrible you're doing at least every minute. After that, it's much of the same. The graphics actually are pretty good, if you really need a positive thing to say about this game. Well, that's going a bit far. They're good to a degree. Some wrestlers really do look like they should. Cody Rhodes, Chris Jericho, and Randy Orton are shining examples. Meanwhile, John Cena, Dean Ambrose, and Dolph Ziggler just look off. John Cena and Dean Ambrose are particularly bad, due in part to the popularity they had while the game was in development. John Cena looks like a caveman with his gigantic forehead and cartoon-like facial animations. Dean Ambrose, meanwhile, just looks washed out like he's got a terrible filter over his model. What really matters, though, is the modes. What you really play. How are those? Well, the 29 you're presented with aren't too bad. It sounds like a huge number, doesn't it? It's really not. Everything in One on One is the same as in 6-man aside from the total number of Superstars currently active, so there's really only eleven match types. Not bad, but not the total representation that could have been. You can no longer tweak the matches beyond who participates, what the arena is, and if there's a manager in the match. This makes for some exceptionally boring singles matches, and the total lack of variety really shows. Pacing during a match has been severely hampered by the addition of Chain Wrestling, a series of rock-paper-scissors and quick-time events the AI unfairly cheats at, which combined with the spotty counters and inhuman timing required to pull them off results in odd matches and ridiculous comeback victories. All in all, the game falls far short of the expectations set by 2k14. While the past few entries have been flawed, they succeeded in being fun if nothing else. The most fun I had with 2k15 was actually playing random singles matches to provide material for this review, so if you're creative enough to come up with your own stories and matches, you'll probably have fun for a little while. Universe is still the way to go for that instant WWE fix, but with a roster that's already outdated and almost no way to fix it yourself using CAW to tweak current Superstar looks or new additions to the rosters, it's going to eventually become just as mundane as the rest of the game. To be clear, the game succeeds where it counts for wrestling fans: It's a decent game for those hardcore fans. For the average wrestling fan that prefers the feel of 2k14, it's an offering best skipped.… Expand

The amount of problems this game has are too numerous to count, so I'll just highlight a few problems.

    Firstly, why do ALL the women in this game look utterly stupid? What's going on with the hair? Why does Summer Rae look like a deformed mannequin, for instance? Not only that, why do half the wrestlers look absolutely nothing like they are supposed to - CM Punk looks like some random Italian guy, for example? This is next gen? Really?

    Secondly, career mode. How quick did it take you to shat out that garbage 2K? It makes zero sense. You can have a four and a half star match, lose narrowly, then have Vickie Guerrero say that that match was dreadful. That's just one contradiction - the whole thing is full of them. Do it bloody properly or don't do it at all.

    Third - it's now 2015, and we have to manually change title holders, as far as I can tell? WHY?! Why on earth isn't an option to regularly patch the game up to the current roster, heel/face changes, title holders, theme musics and more? In fact, this is such a glaring omission I'm not sure if I'm just outright missing where it is?

    Fourth, why is this game an utterly stripped down version of 2k13 and 2k14? Why have you taken multiple steps backwards in presentation, gameplay and options? Why am I stuck with crap generic pop songs as the background music instead of the theme songs? Why do rope breaks happen at random? Why is the tag team mode utterly broken if you play single player, to the point where the AI will NEVER tag you in? Finally, WHY ARE YOU CHARGING MONEY FOR THIS GAME!

    FFS 2k, get a damn grip of yourselves. This is a joke of a title, and it disrespects wrestling fans at every turn by treating them like absolute idiots. Give up the licence you clowns.    … Expand

    This is what happens when developers focus on beauty over substance. No doubt wwe 2k15 looks beautiful and wwe superstars really looks like their real life counterparts but gameplaywise 2k15 is missing some stuff that the past 2k series had already in them.

    It would be nice if they would actually listen to real wrestling fans not just wwe fans. This game had good ideas but was done poorly. They need to get better story lines and go back to giving your created charater a voice. Also bring in new match types.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. My thoughts on WWE 2K15 game. So forget the stamina that's not even the worst part of this, the reaction time or doing moves or finishers sucks the most its to damn slow it doesn't compute most of the time, you have to mostly stump on the guys when you're trying to do ground moves. then all the doppelgangers they put in which is easily avoidable with crating generation mode where you the player can choose what era of the wrestler you wanna be for example instead of having two Hulk Hogan's, two CM Punk's, two Randy Orton's, two Chris Jericho's, two Dave Batista's,two Daniel Bryan's and so on and so on who all do exactly the same move sets of them original selves but are slightly different in their looks or outfits or move sets but that depends on what wrestler like for example the two Daniel Bryan's, one dose the running knee and Yes lock while the other dose the yes lock and Cattle Mutilation double arm bridge submission hold. so you the player chose one Daniel Bryan and the era of him every time you are either in season mode or exhibition match because honesty as I say every year a WWE game comes out who uses the double when playing in season mode or exhibition matches? probably no one dose so its a wast of adding or getting the wrestlers as DLC's also it's clearly a wast of space and laziness on the game makers to add in the full rosters for example Adam Rose or the Ascension, Paige should not be DLC they should have been already include in the game but it shows once again the laziness of the producers be 2K now or be THQ previous. oh yeah the career mode where they start you off with hardly nothing for points to build up your homemade wrestler but there are guys on NXT like Baron Corbin that win their matches in 30 seconds or less by doing one or a few moves without have to get count out victories so that kills the realistic part of 2K15 especially their career mode because you either win by count outs or by wrestling your opponents outside the ring most of the time hoping to get your signature then finishers and hope that's enough to win you your match up if not who ever you are put up against easily beats you and that goes the same with training mode even though its supposed to help you acquire more points as well knowledge to how to play and practice you to better you and your performance witch mostly isn't the case because you get beat by your sparring partners. So this game 2K15 has many faults its the worst wrestling game I have ever played in years the only thing that stands out is the graphics I give this game the five Roman and Caesar thumbs down and it should be fed to the lions if this game was edible that's how bad WWE 2K15 truly is unfortunately… Expand

For the purest that game is very realistic which is great however seeing as WWE is fake anyway I do find saying it realistic is a selling point but that's by the by and the base for a good game is in here and it has its moments but it seems to just not make it to the surface often enough. I quite like the Stamina System it add a real thing which happens in wrestling when a star is tired after a long match which add examples
    But why did they do these
    1) Career Mode: A PS4 exclusive which seems like someone came up with it in the last min. So You pick and new star and the start is good you get a Bill Demont cut scene and your like wow this could be great then it looks like that's it. So my story started with this then I was NXT champion. Then I was in dark matches for the next 2 years till I got to Smackdown. Then I was Intercontinental Champion which I deafened once then was stripped when I went to RAW. Then after the long battle I become WWE champion then my 15 year career is over. OH ok thanks for that. Oh and no options to change things in there and last one you go from quite bad to over the top good.
    2) Create stuff: Why did you strip so much out. So here is what did not make it in. Create A Move, Create A Diva, Create an Arena, Create a story and Create a Championship. I mean every else seems copy pasted why not just do this. Also there is a stuff taken out from the create a superstar in which meant I can’t give my hillbilly a set of Stiletto Heels and a Tiara.
    3) Collar and Elbow Tie up System: All right small gripe but this is just stupid system why out it in.
    4) It’s like they forgot this was supposed to be fun: Modes which used to be fun just don’t seem to be at points.
    5) 2K Showcase: Two quite boring areas to focus on when the last one was quite cool.
    So it alright like a say and with some friends fun however when you play on your own it just get dull.    … Expand

If you press X its a normal grapple, Left stick and X is medium and Hold X its strong or something like that. From there move the stick and press X or Hold X again to actually pull of a grapple move. Ok except the problem with that is that if you try to do a grapple move early in the match you have to do a game of rock, paper, scissors which 99% of the time leads to you losing your grapple and getting beat out. Also say you do get into a regular grapple you have no idea when to pull off the next grapple move so might as well just tilt the stick and spam the X button hoping your going to actually pull off a grapple move....but no you won't you'll just get reversed and spend the next 10 minutes rolling around on the mat hoping to be able to get up. There is also a Stamina system, the longer you play the more tired your guy gets. Sounds kind of cool until you realized you just did 3 suplexes and your character is completely out of stamina unable to do anything but sit there out of breath while the opponent has full stamina and is now going to wreck your face. Also kicking out of a pin is one of the most frustrating things to do. Why can't I just hit buttons and return stamina? No hold X until the bar fills up to the appropriate spot and if you screw up try again. But nope you only get maybe 2 tries if your lucky. I'm not gonna complain about the 40 missing modes, the 3,000 missing Create A Wrestler, Create a Diva, Create A Championship, Create a fun game because its a new engine and a new developer.

I like all kinds of video games, new and old school and I have to say that this is one of the 3 worst games I have ever played. The collision detection with multiple wrestlers in the ring is garbage. The entire premise of the controls system is based on pressing the R2 button at just the right time to get a reversal when your opponent attempts to grapple. If you try to grapple, 95% of the time you get reversed, and the other 5% you get punched, kicked, or grappled on your way in. Then, if you do somehow find your reversal rhythm and are able to beat up on your opponent a bit and wear him alllllll the way down to no health, you miss-time a reversal or get reversed once or twice, and BOOOM! you get a signature moved nailed on you followed quickly by a finisher and a pin. You just spent 30 minutes kickin the crap out of someone, they haven't even put a scratch on you, but in 7 seconds you get totally wiped out. This game is the biggest pile of crap I have ever seen. I haven't even played the CAW that everybody else is complaining about, but I bet thats gonna be another treat. If you are on the fence about buying this game brand new, DONT DO IT!

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.… Expand

    I see that a lot of people are complaining for the custom creation suite being limited. I'm not much of a creative person in terms of wrestling games, so it's not a bother. They added a plethora of new moves in lieu of there not being a create-a-finisher mode, which was already broken in the first place.

I don't know if it improves after smackdown because I just could not handle the same dull task over and over again to buildup enough followers to reach RAW, but I can imagine that since the only thing that's changed over the course of the rest of the career is the brand name your competing in, theres little hope RAW will be any different.… Expand

    Please rectify the referee's movements, always gets in th way while fighting, and block the view to the reversal pointer, and gets extremely irritating especially in crucial matches. Add an option to remove the referee in cage matches, since the player's view is already very irksome while playing them.

    WWE 2K15 changes that by adding a MyCareer mode. You make your own wrestler and start from the bottom of the WWE at the NXT training center and fight your way up to the main roster. Competing in matches earns you points that you can use to improve your wrestler and learn abilities, and you always have a milestone to work toward (like winning a new championship belt or trying to earn a spot on the roster of a bigger show). It’s a meaty mode that gives fans the chance to play out the dream of becoming a WWE legend.

The finishers and signatures are 10 times better and the career mode is so addictive. To come from a superstar trying out for nxt to a hall of famer is super fun. People are complaining about how they took away the crest your own finisher and belt. We'll first of all don't all u guys realize that when u create a finisher it doesn't even have a the same affect as the actual finishers. It does no damage and sucks. It takes me like 3 times to do my finisher for the guy to go down for the 3 count. So calm down people. Now about the belts. I can see why people would get mad about that and everything. But to be honest I could care less that they did that. I never created a belt because it was dumb and I just didn't care if i created a belt.

    This game definitely shows promise in terms of in ring ability. I wrote an article/wishlist of improvements and features I would love to see in the game. The puzzling part about WWE games is similar to Madden they continue to omit incredible features and add unimpressive ones rather than build on their product. This is the definitely of a bare bone game. WWE 2k15 strips out all the fun and is a reflection of the product we get on Smackdown on Thursday nights. They could've literally skipped this title, however; like I said before this series has incredible potential. This game could be the NXT of the WWE rather than the Smackdown/Raw. If they build on this game and re-implement the best features from previous installments 2K has the potential of creating a firewall 10 "Game of the Year" game.    … Expand

    The gameplay itself is decent. I like the changes made, I like that it is slowed down and realistic, and simpler than in the past. However, some core functions in the gameplay are broken. For instance, pinning, or getting pinned really, has been a nightmare. The bar moves WAY too fast and it can be impossible to kick out, even when your wrestler isn't terribly damaged. It's happened enough to me where it is a problem, and I hope an update comes out to fix it.

    I've played through most of the 2K showcase and think it's a really nice mode. They do a really good job of capturing the essence of the feuds. However, the game has errored out and kicked back to the PS home screen a few times now, and it can be frustrating. Again, hoping an update clears that.

    I haven't played the game online yet, but I can imagine that it may be broken too.

    The next generation of WWE game ends up a decidedly mixed bag which is difficult to see as anything but a disappointment for those familiar with the series and, for those that aren't, struggles to be comprehensive enough to warrant a purchase.

However it's not exactly the leap that    The next generation of WWE game ends up a decidedly mixed bag which is difficult to see as anything but a disappointment for those familiar with the series and, for those that aren't, struggles to be comprehensive enough to warrant a purchase.

    Obviously the graphics are improved over previous incarnations, the animations more fluid and realistic. However it's not exactly the leap that some seem to be suggesting, certain models are decidedly odd and the faces have a tendency to look disconnected and static. The actual bodies in use are sadly very generic, and mostly it appears like the same guy has simply put on a mask to imitate another wrestler....the divas have it even worse....don't be fooled by static shots yes momentarily they can look terrific but in the main they just look 'wrong'.

    My Career is the big feature here and in concept is very exciting (yay they give us a mode we had back in 2003), in execution however it is underwhelming with extended periods of nothing going on and a sad lack of character interaction or involvement. Cut scenes are few and far between and the absence of key match types from the game limits the variety it offers.

    The combat system has slowed considerably, this brings some sense of weight to proceedings but also much frustration, coupled with the heightened stamina effects you'll spend a lot of time screaming for your fighter to do 'something'. Early in career mode even the shortest matches leave your fellow drooping and ponderous after only a few moves. Reversals are even more frustrating than previous years as the animations are so disconnected from the move's inception the window for reversal feels very out of synch with what's playing out on screen - you will get used to this but imo the fluidity of play is badly affected. I am a fan of the chain wrestling element introduced this year, albeit it's really something that perhaps occurs twice at the beginning of the match and is never seen again...it just ends up feeling a bit half hearted.

    Much has been said about the omissions from the creation suite, however just as concerning is the implementation of what they have given us. Body customisation is considerably less powerful than previous years, the same generic body can be made fat or thin (there's also a 'Buff' setting that does very little) but with no ability to change limb or torso lengths nor to change the relative size of the head in relation to the body there is much less variety in who or what you can create. The texture tool is terrific but this is a heady conceit of the game because customisation is more than just applying a different texture to the same model, in short the elements that most affect the model are marginalised or non existent.

    Then there are those inexplicable changes or omissions, match types mia, no replay capture, customisation features removed elements that gave the older games masses of replay value...gone! Conversely still present are the usual issues the franchise has suffered for many years dodgy collision detection and clueless opponent AI.

    If you haven't got a WWE game and don't care too much for customisation, its worth a rent or maybe a purchase if found on offer...but this is not a showcase next gen game, nor does it feel a complete entry for the series....in many ways you would still be better to go seek WWE 2k14 on last gen.

    I am a sucker I buy these things almost regardless, but even for me this time around Yukes and 2K have seriously lost momentum and good will - delivering a bare bones game with slightly improved graphics but precious little innovation where it matters most i.e. gameplay and customisation......I'd love to call it a promising start for a new generation, but it isn't even that as yet - next years iteration has a lot of work to do.    … Expand

The career mode feels like a grind, that has you waiting for something to happen once you leave NXT. Most importantly for me. The universe still needs work. It's still not as fun as it was in 13. It seems they keep going on with it, but not changing a thing minus the menus. Give us something new to do with it.

So, for those fans of Helms, Massaro or Tajiri want to create Tajiri, Ashley Massaro, Hurricane Helms or the Hurricane, Eddie Guerrero, or MVP? Good luck with that! No themes they have match them whatsoever! Prior to me discovering of it's removal, this game had a 7.2/10 rating with me, but yeah...., .Also, On the official WWE 2K15 forums, people started threads requesting custom theme support, but WWE 2K15’s community manager, Marcus Stephenson, broke everyone’s hope by saying: “This feature will not be added this year, folks“. Now, this may be hinting it may return in 2K16 especially considering that statement that it won't be in 2k15 was when 2k16 was already in developement at the time. Now, that wouldn't be so bad for me, except:
    - : WE DON't KNOW FOR SURE IF THEY EVER INTEND TO BRING IT BACk.
    - : And,.... `I spent a grand total of 28.9 hours of creating his moveset (spread out for a grand total of 3-and-a-half days), and upon FINALLY finishing his moveset. I looked at the create an entrance found the inability to add Wizard's Last Rhymes .
    Also, they have a misc entrance song called "Bubblegum pop". It's not Bubblegum-pop by the way. IT's freaking- Techno Dance (ie: Sing Now! and Scatman by Scatman John), not bubblegum pop. Y'know what's Bubblegum music sounds like? Caramelldansen and Butterfly (the smile.dk song)! They also have two entrance songs called "into the light" and "the sound of metal".. guesswhat, the opening of both songs are EXACTLY the same except that Sound of Metal's gutar riff is more isolated and more hard rock oriented. They're both completely worthless by the way. Also, Whimsicality is as bad attempt at the folk song Cooley's Reel, which was covered far better by Rhapsody as Elnor's Magic Valley. Also for the Entrance animations. The variety of extra entrance animations that were in previosu games, that were usually put in as Superstar 1, Superstar 8, superstar 12, Superstar 19, Superstar 16, Superstar 17, Legend 2 LEgend 21, Legend 32, and Legend 32 and whatnot, are no longer there. So, you can't utilize Primo Colon's entrance ring in as Tajiri's, they no longer have Gregory Helm (Heel)'s entrance from svr2008, and you don't even have Paul London's turnbuckle backflip. And yes, that means they removed ASHLEY MASSARO's entrance. So, you know what this game hs for entrance except the regular ingame Superstars' ones? I doubt there is anything except for the regular superstars that are already playable and "Quiet! I'm on the phone!" there may be dlc generic ones but i doubt it. So in conclusion: "This is inarguably the absolutely worst and most worthless game of all time in both the franchise of SVR games, all WWE games and any game at all in general" .    … Expand

    This game is so average that it's just not funny with no superstar threads, no Create-An-Arena, no Create-A-Belt, no story designer, and the fact you can't create a diva is just plain stupid. I wouldn't recommend this unless you're an insane fan or you rented this for 2 bucks.

    WWE 2K15 is dissapointing, Creation Suite is gone, and custom animations gone along with custom stories, finishers, music, they get rid of the Diva Creation along with Arena and Championship, and WWE 2K15 ruined the series.
    I'm upset but it's dissapointing. I hope it will be better, and I hope 2K will do the best one.

    WWE 2K15 is the latest installment in a long up-and-down franchise What I mean by that there has been some good moments and some bad moments. but after delivering a pretty good game itself last year there was high hopes for this one due to next generation technology not just with that but this game also welcomes some of the newest superstars a new stamina gameplay mechanic new physics andWWE 2K15 is the latest installment in a long up-and-down franchise What I mean by that there has been some good moments and some bad moments. but after delivering a pretty good game itself last year there was high hopes for this one due to next generation technology not just with that but this game also welcomes some of the newest superstars a new stamina gameplay mechanic new physics and more realistic gameplay now let's get straight to review.

    The Good things

    #1 + some superstars look good in NexGen. (with the power of the PlayStation 4 and Xboxone some of the WWE superstars looks pretty nice graphically. There is also some nice detail with their entrances as well)

    The Bad things

    #1 = Lack of match types. (you will find very fast if you played the previous ones there is a very very lack of some match types. specially if you play online there was No Royal rumble. No Last man standing. and some fatal four-way and triple threat matches are not available online and most of them are not in the game)

    #2 = Very Disappointing character customization. ( one of the things I used to like about these games was the ability to create old or retired superstars with the character customization. But now they have limited it for one example you can't create female characters. and some of the customization options are just limited which they should not be on NexGen this is just laziness)

    #3 = The stamina system and tweaks to the gameplay. (they wanted to make a more realistic experience for the fans but in my opinion they have made a frustrating stamina system which comes in the middle of good fun with friends and other players online. For example your character can get lower stamina pretty fast and once that happens you can literally spend a good six or 7 min. just pressing buttons praying to God when you get back up you do not get knocked back down. it also becomes a problem because matches on not as fun because after you get hit by a few movies the few tweaks to the gameplay and stamina system makes your characters get weaker which makes it harder to get back in to the action. you also most likely lose a lot of matches because of the new animations taken too long to perform actions or making you really viable to moves your character is on the ropes trying to pull himself up only to get halfway through the animation and get hit by a finisher from behind. A lot of the new stuff in the gameplay department deftly needs to be changed back to a more simpler arcade format.)

    !overall!

    I can continue but at this point I'm just going to say $60 is not a fair price for this game definitely try this game out for a few days before you buy it. but in my opinion I would say stay away from this abomination of a game    … Expand

    Man this was a disappointment. I couldn't wait for this game, even ordered the expensive special edition. I finally got my hands on this and it just didn't feel right. A lot of people are mad about the lack of playable characters but that didn't bother me so much. The thing that bothered me was the mycareer mode, which was boring as hell.

The thing that bothered me was the mycareer mode, which was boring as hell. The mode is just a seemingly endless grind to no real rewarding end goal, I honestly didn't even finish it. The 2K Showcase modes were good fun while they lasted, definitely got more fun out of it than the mycareer mode. The one flaw that irritated me the whole play time though was that when you take some damage your character takes FOREVER to get back up. Now I know they wanted this to be "realistic" and to have simulation elements but I want my games to be fun and this definitely was not fun. When im playing with a friend and we're both staring at our guys just laying on the mat while we mash buttons to make them get up, that is not fun, not at all, it's actually kind of **** I love the more "arcade-y" style of the Smackdown vs Raw games and i'm mad that they've gotten away from that, hell even '12, '13 and 2K14 were more fun than this. If it ain't broke don't try to fix it but now that it is broke please fix it before the release of 2K16.… Expand

    The series finally moved forward and stopped looking like a relict. WWE 2K15 is not overflowing with changes, but they are there and are most welcome. [01/2015, p.79]

    WWE 2K15's debut on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One is good but not perfect: the gameplay is a highly fun simulation experience, but the game doesn't have all the feature depth of past games in the series. It is, however, a good template to build upon for future instalments.

    A big step up from the last-gen versions, but sadly the cut creation tools dent this champ's title belt. [Feb 2015, p.70]
