    The last good WWE game in my opinion, with the best character customization, a very large character roster and fresh gameplay mechanics.

    Este juego desmiente el mito de las fechas de caducidad en los juegos que terminan en un año. Puedes customizar el escenario, los personajes, elejir muchos modos, tiene muchos luchadores, la jugabilidad está muy bien pulida. Los gráficos no son tan buenos, pero no creo que te vaya a molestar. Los temas de entrada también son geniales.

    This game is a really fun wrestling game, it has an enormous roster (despite the the missing 4 horsewoman), lots of arenas, fun universe mode, a good Stone Cold Steve Austin Showcase mode and you can beat Roman Reigns ass using Lesnar all the time, that's why this deserves a 8/10.

    I must first say that this edition of the 2K series is A vast improvement over 2K15 by leaps and bounds in many ways.The amount of new content especially with the creation parts are very well done.I loved how the 2K presentation showcase featured A very interesting and well structured 'campaign' of Stone Cold Steve Austin.By far the most engrossing Wrestler since Shawn Micheals's ShowcaseI must first say that this edition of the 2K series is A vast improvement over 2K15 by leaps and bounds in many ways.The amount of new content especially with the creation parts are very well done.I loved how the 2K presentation showcase featured A very interesting and well structured 'campaign' of Stone Cold Steve Austin.By far the most engrossing Wrestler since Shawn Micheals's Showcase years ago.

    Myself being A tremendous Fan of Stone Cold found this feature to be the best in the entire Game.I love the videos through each chapter-telling the story of Stone Cold's career to those unfamiliar to Him.The bonus matches are very cool as it unlocks characters and outfits people actually want.They really seem to to have A very great grasp on His overall career and besides A few issues like no blood during 'Blood Of A Stone' match against Bret Hart at Wrestlemania 13 and cheap look alike of Mike Tyson (especially as the Announcer barely reference Him during the mach) during Stone Cold's match against Shawn Micheals in Wrestlemania 18 (probably due to licensing issues).These are forgivable I suppose and in all honesty will never be noticed to casual WWE Fans or really anyone except for hardcore Wrestling Fans like myself.Besides these minor blemishes this 2K Showcase of Stone Cold Steve Austin is one of the best in the entire series.

    The creation section are as I said earlier well done.You can add A lot of customization to making custom Belts,Arenas and Wrestlers.However,the face creation is too complicated as the front face option is nearly unusable as you have no visual reference whatsoever since you cannot see the front part of the face and essentially have to play A guessing game with it.Often,you will be extremely disappointed with character you create based off of other Wrestlers since they will hardly never look close to to anything resembling the real life person.

    One of my biggest problems with this Game is that you can simply go online and download better user created characters,arenas,belts and labels from people that understands creating all these aspects better than myself.To Me,this takes away any enjoyment of creating real life Wrestlers such as Hulk Hogan or X-Pac since I know my version is extremely inferior and A better version is simply A download away.Also,I could not download anything since there were one after another of downloading errors.I assume that these Servers were not dedicated servers or perhaps it was on my end-who really knows.

    My other problem to this Game is that there are ALOT of characters!Is this A bad thing-no.However,like my experience goes I decided to make A Brian Pillman created Wrestler so I could make the Hollywood Blondes Tag Team with 'Stunning' Steve Austin.What happened is that I played more of the Showcase mode which unlocked A better Brian Pillman than the one I made which meant I had A terrible created Brian hanging around on my hard drive.

    As far as the rest of the game,it's the standard experience of any WWE 2K game.Somewhat updated (A year behind) modern WWE Wrestlers.You can fight with them in anyway you so choose like one on one or tag team and so on.Just A warning-you will probably lose quite often since the edition of the idiotic submission mechanic system.I absolute HATE this mechanic with A burning passion.I had to look up A Tutorial on Youtube to explain it to Me after losing ten consecutive matches in A row and yes the computer opponents will try to submit you almost every time even if they are not known for using submissions or not!

    My other favorite aspects are that they brought back Jim Ross and Jerry 'The King' Lawler for commentating.This really adds to the Game especially the more retro aspects in the Stone Cold 2K Showcase.I love the additions of these obscure 90's pay per views for use in the Game are A breath of fresh air and brings back pleasant memories for those of us that experienced them before in the past.

    There are some glaring issues such as glitches,graphical problems and especially some terrible voice overs like Enzo Amore's intro as you can obviously tell that it was recorded poorly and lacks Enzo'z impressive energy when He introduces Big Cas and Himself.The music is not the best-it's six tracks,three being not so great contemporary hip hop tracks.You will quickly like myself turn off these sickening repeating tracks off the Menus as in this case silence is golden.

    Overall,like I said before this version is truly A vast improvement over 2K15.However,there are some glaring issues that I hope are addressed in the next editions.    … Expand

    The controls are painful, The wrestling jumps into so many mini games that play-out as "touch/swipe at the right moment cutscene", making you feel in little control of your character.

    I found early and often I could not get down the timing to counter, and I would be stuck in a chain of unstoppable attacks from my COM until I got a counter correct.

    It feels like a chore to learn all the controls, you can not mash and have fun with unexpected results. Probably if I studied the game more I might get more enjoyment but I don't want to have study up on a game to have fun.    … Expand

    Roster? Great, unless you take into account the lack of Becky, Sasha, and Charlotte, who should have been in as NXT girls, far more than Emma and Eva Marie.
    Creation mode. W. T. F. No create a finisher? VERY limited options on facial construction, skin tone, body hair, and wardrobe.
    But, I was able to forgive all that, since I'm used to these game companies taking away just as much as they give, every year. So, on I played; excited with the inclusion of new commentators; and with Lilian and the time keeper at ringside? YES! HUGE roster? Hell YEAH!
    BUT! Then I actually play the matches. Where's Ron Simmons? We need a "DAMN!", here.
    Targeting system is about as helpful as a mentally handicapped sloth.
    Movements are programmed seemingly to be in perpetual slow motion.
    The reversal button in about as responsive as someone who's been hit by a bus.
    Kickout system is too buggy, and doesn't get it's crap together in time, very often.
    Career mode sounds cool, until, for some reason, Zack Ryder is beating you in your first match, due mainly to the problems I've addressed above, and the ones to follow.
    The submission system.....No. JUST NO. Barf worthy. Way too hard to manage. When someone's whole body is in the red, and you slap Natty's Sharpshooter on them, it should not be difficult to tap them out. Especially not difficult enough to cause me to want to scream, curse, and throw a highly expensive controller through a highly expensive TV screen. (I didn't, but it's the thought that counts!)
    And finally, there's just too many bugs, in general. The commands that need to appear very often don't, no matter how in position you are. Like OMGs by the announce table, or finisher/signature icons, and other things.
    So, 2K can take this particular incarnation of the series, turn the damn thing sideways, and shove it right up their candy a$$e$.    … Expand

    During one match, Triple-H's water bottle during his entrance became suspended in mid-air for the majority of the Royal Rumble. So the bottle won that match, I guess.
    The fun factor is there for this game, but there are glaring holes.
    When two wrestlers try to grapple at the same opponent, the entire process is negated and all parties wince. That works, I guess.

    The intro music can be manipulated, this is a plus as many of the songs are annoying.
    Hulk Hogan is missing, but a murderer, Lex Luger is allowed be in the game. However, no Chris Beniot. Weird.

    No secret codes this go around, you have to earn the extras with your hard work at work, not through effort in the game.

    Overall this game is fun, but the holes become noticeable as the fresh game smell wears off. The pressure to churn out a new game every year is costing on quality.    … Expand

The fighting mechanics aren't necessarily the most fluid at times but they are definitely an improvement over past iterations. The addition of OMG! moments, despite them not really being all too awe-inspiring, is good. Though those moments are fairly few, as the only new additions are Roman's apron dropkick, RVD's barricade legdrop, superplex or DDT to the outside, and a spear through the barricade. Driving someone through the announcers' table and throwing someone from the top of the cell, things we've always been able to do regularly in previous iterations, were added to the OMG moments. There's no way to do, say, an F-5 on the side in the same way as chokeslamming them off the side now. It's just a push, chokeslam, the Last Ride (which could easily be done on your own in previous games), and Sweet Chin Music (superkick).

    They removed the ability to modify match rules and, instead, added "No Holds Barred" and "Falls Count Anywhere" matches. This is likely so they can claim they've got two extra more types when it would just have been easier to have made it an option to turn DQ's off and add a "falls count anywhere" option. On top of that, they removed a few match types (one of which was the removal of the Inferno match) while completely botching the Elimination Chamber match. How did they botch that match? Well, you can walk through the turnbuckles when you're on the steel grate. If you are within a couple feet of the chain wall, you will get sucked in and will likely get stuck inside it. Sometimes you'll get pushed outside and will be unable to get back in, requiring you to restart the match. This happens constantly to the computer controlled wrestlers. This makes the elimination chamber match borderline broken and unplayable.

    The WWE Universe mode is still just a watered-down GM Mode, despite it being an improvement the previous iteration's WWE Universe. The game ultimately has far more control than you do and will even outright delete your rivalries the moment you make them because it wants you to do this rivalry instead. They added injuries, which makes it more interesting, but the fact that they're only triggered by little more than beating the hell out of them for half an hour after you've gotten them to the point of being able to score a pinfall with minimal effort makes it so that you have to be actively trying to injure them. I would say you'd have to pretend this wrestler injured the person and remove them from the show for a period of time but that goes right back to the game having more control over what happens than you do. The fact that "severe" injuries only takes a superstar out of action for... one week. Yep, that torn ACL is fixed in a week or two.

    Then there's the graphics, which are good but definitely still far below standard. What really kills it is that many of the stars don't look anything like their real-life counterpart. Take Paige, for example. Her in-game model looks nothing like her beyond her attire and she looks like a twig, even in comparison to the real Paige. This isn't just one instance as all the Divas and most of the superstars suffer from similar instances of looking barely similar to their real-life counterparts.

    Yukes need to step it up because around five games in a row haven't broken past the "barely above average" rating. Removing features and re-implementing them doesn't do anything and they need to realize this. Changing the gameplay mechanics every iteration doesn't do anything. They may think this was okay under THQ, but that's only because their customers expected so little after a while because of these same reasons. But now that they've been under 2K for going on three years, they need to get their **** together and soon. I feel a 6/10 is generous. WWE 2K16 merely looks in the right direction but it takes no steps towards the right direction.    … Expand

    Gameplay- The new reversal system helps shift the control throughout the match and stop the annoying constant reversals of before. Having a set amount of reversals creates an interesting dynamic between wrestlers because you need to decide whether to save them for specific moments or use them immediately. One of the problems I have is the slower paced compared to the other games. Moves feel like they take a lot of time to execute whether its a punch or grapple. The more prominent stamina system alleviates this issue for me since each move takes a lot of stamina when the match has gone on for a while. This makes each suplex feel important and you don't fire of 10 of 'em in a matter if seconds.

    Graphics- Everything looks great concerning the wrestlers but the crowds are still a mess. It's not that they are low poly people but that they just don't act like a normal crowd. They randomly wave and stand for no reason. If they really fix this issue and make the crowd feel more realistic it would help increase the immersion. Another element of the presentation that needs a little love is the commentary. If they improved these two aspects of the presentation it would be practically flawless.

    The 2K showcase was great even though some matches didn't feel important but everything was handled well. The create a superstar mode seemed great and so did the other modes.

    The game plays great and has plenty of modes to keep people busy. If they focus on some of the presentation aspects they could have an amazing experience. That being said, what is here is still great and worth a look for any fan of wrestling.    … Expand

    Probably the most enjoyable game this year if you are a wrestling fan. Lots of characters to pick, and designing your own wrestler to go through career mode is great fun!

    When WWE 2K14 came out I was completely stoked. Something new and different from the THQ garbage that we were used to.

    Sadly it appears that 2K thinks that it's more important to take things out of the game e.g being able to edit match rules like 2K14; create a finisher. Now on 2K16 the only editing I can do for a match is if I want to be able to turn the entrances on or off. Gee,    When WWE 2K14 came out I was completely stoked.

    Another thing is that the games are less fun. Remember when you could have a stable entrance where the three of you came crashing down on a shopping trolley? How funny was that?! Or where you could go round the backstage such as the boiler room/parking lot. Why wouldn't this be ever considered? It's fun! There's only so many times that I can watch Tyler Breeze kick out of my finisher time and time again.

    Of course people like the "realistic" gameplay but do the majority of people that might play this game? I have a number of friends who scoffed when they saw me on this and said "it's not being good since enter old WWE game here. Surely being able to lure all audiences is more important than just the die-hard fans that buy the game year in year out.

    It seems to me like 2K are more bothered about having something to advertise like the Stone Cold showcase mode rather than the actual game-play. Showcase mode is very boring and very linear in my opinion. It tells you what to do and if you don't do it you get bent over.

    Hopefully at least someone manages to read this even though it is a bit long winded. But I could've written a lot more!

    It is also too simple, after 1 hour i knew how to play correctly
    6/10

    I think we’re still one year away from the greatness that 2K is truly capable of. In the meantime, WWE 2K16 will do a pretty good job of being the No. 1 contender.

    This is a game that delivers all the personality and fame-centered features of the wrestling world in detail; however in the process it compromises, rather ironically, a more realistic feeling of combat as in the actual sport. WWE 2K16 is a game that is better to watch than play, although it will probably satisfy hardcore fans.

    Yuke’s made some improvements taking the series in the right direction, but do not expect any revolutionary changes, because the most important aspect – the combat system – was only slightly modified. [13/2015, p.38]
