    WWE 2K15 had a great potential when the game was first announced for PS4 and Xbox One and when it came back in 2014, it was supposed to be the one, THE chosen one, THE wrestling game for PS4, but instead it was 2K20 before 2K20.

    While it is a new start for the wrestling franchise, the action itself feels a bit clunky and slow and the creation modes have majorly decreased in content and options.

    This had so much promise and could of been brilliant but it fell short by a long way 2K needed to go away and rethink things for WWE 2K16 which thankfully they did. Now the gameplay wasn't terrible but the career mode was awful and getting rid of create a diva just killed it for me now we can't play as some of our favourite TNA knockouts or the four horsewomen that people would of created.

    WWE has lost their touch with their games. This has to be one of the most dissapointing games of all time for me. because of this I'm NOT going to get the next wwe game.

An example of this is the stunning and beautiful graphics, the fun and enjoyable showcase mode or its most realistic wrestling to date. While these are steps forward for the WWE games it also has many disappointing areas to them, these include the weak customisation, same old bad commentary that has been present for years, lack of match types, TERRIBLE online play and its biggest offence MyCareer. This was the mode everyone was really excited and hyped for and it turned out to be a huge disappointment with boring easy matches with no story behind them, and pointless match after pointless match (very similar to current dat WWE) with no payoff at the end with an out of nowhere and terrible ending to a big disappointment of a mode, that leaves a sour taste in your mouth after you get through the 15 hour plus boring grind feast that is this mode.

    In conclusion this game looks and feels great, but with a lack of content around this, it doesn't do enough and will leave you wanting a more fleshed out and better game. Overall it lays the foundation for a great WWE game, but still has a way to go before that is a reality.

    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

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

But the biggest problem that makes several sextillion fans ragequit and boycott innumerably, is, the REMOVAL of CUSTOM ENTRANCE THEMES. minus the regular superstar entrance themes, you're reduced to just several rap songs, ONE boring rock song, and one DUBSTEP (which I can't stand the most) song. So, if you want to create a custom character with songs like Wizard's Last Rhymes (Rhapsody), Warrior of Ice (Rhapsody), Lord of the Thunder (Rhapsody), Emerald Sword (Rhapsody), Agony Is My Name (Rhapsody), Body Breakdown (DragonForce), Holy War (Dragonland), Beethoven's Nightmare (Dragonland), Let the Bodies hit the floor (), Feed (Sevendust), Civilized? (Power Quest), I don't believe in friends forever (Power Quest), Scars on Scars (Arthemis), Monster (Skillet), Hero (Skillet), Hero (Divinefire), Power of Thy Sword (Manowar), Sole Survivor (Helloween), or Rusty Nail by X-Japan, then your **** outta luck, mate! I was advised to get 2k-14 instead. But a 1.2 years ago I had that game and I got titred of the game because the hold input for your grabbles never worked, and the entire fighting in the game was superbly-glitchy. 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" .

    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.

    I'm not totally into the 2K bandwagon anytime soon because whatever engine they've done (since acquiring WWE from the demise of THQ in Early 2013) must;ve taken a few steps backward. WWE 2K15 is a hot mess. I thought this was going to be the biggest and most hyped wrestling games ever.

    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.

    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.

    Is this the best you can do 2K, seriously? 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
    Is this the best you can do 2K, seriously? 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.

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.

The Career mode is well just ouch. this is by far one of the worst career modes ive ever seen. nothing happens back stage theres no story line at all. heres a brief summary on the entire career mode. after the intial proving ground to get on NXT all you get are text boxes telling you what your next match is, you fight said match and get a generic text message stating good job. you spend points to improve your creation then click next event get generic text stating your next match.... you get the point then you get promoted to main event. the only thing that changes is now you get a generic text from the next manager stating she has no matches setup and you get to choose either a dark match for extra money or a tune up match for extra followers. after your match you get the same generic text good job. you rinse and repeat the same endless repetitive choose match fight match good job on and on and on. on a very very rare occasion a new text box will appear which sorta gives a rivalry but again theres no cut scenes or voices just the same generic tex but from a different person, you fight that person multiples times in a row in varying matches up to the PPV event, then you fight the ppv and suddenly you get back to the same generic good job message followed by more of the same generic text messages to choose your next opponent week after week until you get promoted to smackdown, and low and behold instead of changing people you get the same generic messages from the same person again and again. there is literaly nothing to do between matches except spend skill points to improve and buy new moves/ manager. there is no interaction other than that. 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.

    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

    i loved more THQ in the wwe license. they done it great. i mean 2k not awful. but this version is definitely rushed out. and sadly that's the result. the ps3 and 360 version are awful. but this one is not this bad

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Wwe 2k15 is in my opinion the best wwe out there. I say that because the graphics are amazing. 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. So for me this is a great game and I love it u should totally get it. 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]
