    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is definitely the best looking wrestling game I've ever played. For next gen, I was expecting a bit more in the visuals department to be honest, though I prefer gameplay over graphics, so I didn't let this bug me too much! Now for gameplay, the games balancing system is impressive. It needs some minor improvement yes, but it's a great start and makes for a fun and pretty realistic fight overall.

    The pinning is absolutely horrible! In my opinion, games should be easy enough for everyone to learn and play in a short period of time (not master, but at least pick up and enjoy). If I invited friends over, it would take them weeks to master kicking out. You have to time it perfectly, and if you think about it, you really only have about 3 shots to do it right. I'm sure there is a handful of gamers who have learned and dealt with this, but I bet the majority find it too difficult to the point where it's not fun. I love a good challenge, but this is too much!

    I've read many people say that MyCareer mode was the best feature of this game, so I was excited to try it out. Sadly, it's nothing special. I've had about 20 + matches, and only got two cut scenes. One short clip of my guy signing a contract, and 10 sec clip of him getting pumped in the hall before a match. Other than that, nothing else. No talking to other wrestlers, no feuds, no interruptions, no backstage scenes, no rants in front of the crowd, nothing. I'm not done this mode, so there may be more, but man it's really slow and boring so far and I'm sure there's nothing great ahead if so far I got this.

    The showcase mode was a lot of fun, despite the two feuds being not the most interesting of choices. The voices were great, there was interruptions, and drama, just like the show, but that's the thing, you are re-living (re-playing) events that already happened. So not over the top of shocking. This is why I was so disappointed about MyCareer mode. I was hoping to see and experience some insane and unique things.

    Another thing that bugged me was that all my progress disappeared. My two completed showcases, my created wrestler, all the new wrestlers I earned, everything!

    I'm about 5-7 hours in total gameplay and I'm about ready to tap out. ;) This is a game where you need to have friends over to play to prolong the fun factor of the game. Because MyCareer mode and the small list of match types won't keep me interested for much longer.

    Few other things that bugged me was the ref is always in the way! Sometimes hard to see the Reverse symbol cause the guy is walking left and right so much! lol The stamina meter in the balancing system needs some work. Wrestlers don't get tired THAT fast! Especially the little guys. hehe Some of the wrestlers need work as they don't look good. A few to list would be the Rock, Batista, Stone Cold.

    I haven't been successful finding a match online, just doesn't work for me.

    Overall, great looking game! Not very fun though unless you have your buddies over.
    I don't recommend paying full price for this game. I suggest waiting till the price drops, or buy it used.
    Or play WWE 2K14, SVR or Revenge until something else comes out.    … Expand

    Beautiful graphics, good sound, poor music, lack of modes, no create an arena or diva and finally the chain wrestling sucks. 2k has ruined one of the few game series that I buy every year. I wont say its bad but it certainly is nothing like the previous entries in this series. If your looking for a wrestling simulator with glitches and framerate issues then you should buy this, otherwiseBeautiful graphics, good sound, poor music, lack of modes, no create an arena or diva and finally the chain wrestling sucks. 2k has ruined one of the few game series that I buy every year.

    Overall, the title just isn't quite up to par. It promises a lot but delivers comparatively little. It might be worth waiting until 2K16 before taking the plunge with WWE on current gen.

    I feel this game slow, the 2K14 was better, also has lack of features, it has a lot to be improveed for 2K16, hoping the mechanics to be better on the next year version.

    Plagued with animation issues and horribly out of date, but plays the best game of 'pro wrestling' anything has in some time. [Issue#119, p.80]

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