    WWE 2K15 is a slick product but on closer examination it hides numerous problems and flaws. It’s the game of tomorrow with the problems of yesteryear, a transitional game between platforms that feels like very little care has gone into crafting the ultimate simulation in sports entertainment. And that’s the bottom line.

    The gameplay is slow, sluggish, clunky and terrible. My Career doesn't feel like a career mode at all and all of the gutted creation modes and match types really just sealed the deal for me.

    Creation options also feel somewhat limited, particularly as you can't create a female wrestler. [Issue#156, p.116]

    WWE 2K15 for XBox One is definitely different from the previous games but is easily the best looking game in the series to date.

    Wrestling superfans will get more out of the game than others, obviously, as the true-to-life presentation is pretty nice, with all the logos, arenas, music, and wrestlers that you could hope for. However, there’s a distinct feeling that the game was rushed to meet a deadline – something that’s only backed up by the two-week delay from which the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions of the game suffered.

    The leap to new-gen is more of a stumble for WWE, as it drops elements of existing content and recycles a lot more, giving little feeling of quality.

    Yes, 2K has imbued 2K15 with impressive graphical prowess, but those hot visuals don't mean a whole hell of a lot when the rest of the game feels so undercooked.

    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 »

Bugs and glitches, the same horrible gameplay from years past, unrealistic selling of moves, and horrible mini games rule the roost in this series. Without the great Wrestlemania mode or legends of WWE 2k14, this game is down for the count and should be future endeavored. Please 2K, get rid of Yukes as the developer.… Full Review »

    or bugs while being in the ring! Create a Finisher... this moves cant be stopped by an attack.
    dont break trough tables....

    People complain about the missing MP3 Support.
    Its Sonys fault. Not the fault of 2K.

    Important is that 2K Made a new WRESTLING GAME
    from action to simulation. Important is what happens in the ring.
    Gameplay is awesome and the Stamina isnt perfect but realy good for the first try.
    Now there have a stable base to improve there game.
    GOOOOOOD LUCK 2 K!!!
