There’s not much dynamism here, as that aspect of the mode even trails NBA 2K. The mode itself is fairly straightforward, with you progressing from match to match with cutscenes before and after defining your character and what you are about. superstar size, and the increased feeling of weight in the game are all welcome touches that all add up to a better gameplay experience. The little touches like superstars using the ropes when they are fatigued, the more in proportion ring size vs. This is a mechanic that is indeed confusing, but it becomes second nature after awhile in realizing where your three levels are at. Momentum, health, and stamina are all reflected in the new HUD, something you won’t understand for the first several matches. If you have two guys who can use the kick out mechanic well - this is going to create some amazing climactic brawls. When both guys are gassed in the ring at the end of a long match, moves take longer but will deliver heavier blows. The new stamina mechanic is a huge new addition to gameplay, and largely captures the three distinct phases of a WWE match. Sometimes, the interrupted animations look great - others, not so much. Strike attacks in the game can now interrupt animations, and the results are mixed. You’ll still end up in situations where moves are performed where they shouldn’t be and guys are getting supplied into ropes or bodies are warping unnaturally. This is clearly the smoothest wrestling title in the ring in some time - but it’s still far from perfect. The new animations that go along with the new chain wrestling and the other assorted moves oftentimes look great as well. The beginning, middle, and ending of matches all feel different, which is a good thing. I do think you should have the option to keep chain wrestling longer, but the chain wrestling gives matches a better flow as is. I like the rock paper scissors feel to it and the strategy that goes into making it happen. The chain wrestling mechanic in particular is quite good.
What you get is a continued improvement inside of the ring, with different and oftentimes better gameplay mechanics replacing old ones. In the ring, WWE 2K15 isn’t a revolutionary title, as I noted in my previous gameplay article. The holy trinity of commentary sins is present in a big way: repeated lines, completely wrong lines, and periods of complete dead space where commentators say nothing at all. While 2K claims there are five times more recorded lines than any other year, that number still results in the worst commentary to ever grace a AAA sports game in this generation of consoles. Commentary in particular is an egregious offender. WWE 2K15 made the jump to ‘next-gen’ beautifully on the graphics side - its unfortunate that much of the rest of the presentation package is so bad. The superstar entrances look quite good as well, although the same entrance without any variation means they also become extremely skippable after a few of them - thankfully that option is included in the pre-match menu. The graphics are pretty, despite a few player models which don’t look great (they likely weren’t scanned either). What WWE 2K15 does best and does right is that it looks pretty good.
