WWE 2K15 Day One Impressions, Post Yours Here

Re: WWE 2K15 Day One Impressions, Post Yours Here

So I bought it despite saying I was gonna pass due to the more than negative response following release. Gameplay feels fine though I can see why people don't like it. I really like the chain wrestling aspect but I find its too easy to gain control. My big issue with the gameplay is the reversals I find the timing fairly poor and its the big negative in matches. Other than that the gameplay feels like a step up than what was in the last few THQ games. The other big issue I have is the lone pin timing rather than button mashing. The button mash option was always worlds better than the timing option and is another poor removal choice. With more development we could get a very good series going forward.

Hey guys, I'm short on time, but I have a few questions and would really appreciate having them answered:

1.) Is Universe Mode pretty deep this year? I mean, I haven't played since WWE '13. How 'new' would the mode be to somebody like me?

2.) How's the online play?

I think I'm going to pass on the game, but I'm still considering it. With GTA V (and the Halo: MCC when the multiplayer becomes consistent by the year 2017) taking up my time, I doubt I'll give it much of any play after two weeks, but the game looks gorgeous and the new MyCareer (or whatever it's called, if I butchered the name) looks extremely fun.

It seems that the kickout meter is strange this year. It seems to be stopping in set places, I don't know if that's just me being rubbish as normal or if it's a design choice.

I haven't experienced that, but I really dislike how fast the meter moves this year. I usually don't mind the meter, but it's really tough for me to get a gauge on it so far. It's like, unless it's really early in the match and I have the huge window, I have no shot at kicking out.

Unless that's just me?

I'm loving this game! Career mode is a ton of fun so far and just bought the accelerator and started creating the universe. The wrestling is second to none. Very realistic and sim.

Not a fan of this game. I feel like every time the CPU gets on a roll, its near impossible to stop them. Or to reverse and timing of the R2 (Ps4) is also VERY tough. Getting very frustrated.

I'm a bit like that. I was never amazing at kicking out, but usually even after a finisher I felt like I had a chance. Don't get me wrong, I like that you are actually in real trouble when you get pinned, but I don't want to be losing to a back suplex or a headbutt.

Adds a bit of unpredictability but I just wish the meter was a little bit kinder, especially in the early to middle part of the match.

I'm enjoying the gameplay a lot more though having got stuck into it properly. With the right opponents you can have great matches.

Well Universe is pretty much the same as it was in 2K14. They added a Rivalry Editor in which you can make your own rivalries by deciding on 2 wrestlers and the length of the feud but its not as great as it sounds. Other than that its pretty much the same as it would of been in WWE'13

Im glad its like that. One of the biggest issues I had with these games for years was how weak the AI was. I could go through a long run of matches taking very little damage but now the AI actually does stuff which is good.

Going through the HBK/HHH Showcase. I can't believe the Katie Vick references they keep throwing out. I tried so hard to remove that angle from all memory. Thanks for reminding me 2K.

Re: WWE 2K15 Day One Impressions, Post Yours Here

Picked this up Friday night and jumped right into a Mycareer mode. I haven't played a wrestling game or even watched wrestling since the days of PS2, but the game peaked my interest.

I played four matches, a couple of them being training matches. I'm enjoying so far. Took me a couple of matches to get onto the controls and chain wrestling, but I picked up the basics pretty quickly, which is important.

As I'm not really a huge wrestling fan, it's hard for me to comment on how accurate the game is to the actual sport, but in my opionion it looks top notch. The animations of moves and attention to smaller details are catching my eye.

The lack of 100 CAW slots and is not a huge issue to me, but I could certainly see it being and issue for some.

Glad I made the purchase so far.

Re: WWE 2K15 Day One Impressions, Post Yours Here

Finally found one of the features stripped out that does piss me off and affect how I play the game. I create a lot of tag teams. I can't believe they stripped out all extra tag entrances except 2. Same with trio. Even if I DL a Scott Hall CAW, no NWO entrance. uuuugh. I guess I was spoiled having NWO in last years

It is awesome that CM Punks old song is in though. So much better than Cult of Personality.

The music is there though if you use Hollywood Hogan.

I don't download that many CAWS, but the 25 is an issue for me in that whenever you edit a superstars attire it takes up a CAW slot, and a lot of the characters are outdated.

Re: WWE 2K15 Day One Impressions, Post Yours Here

I ended up going back and hitting yes with this. My Career mode was still where I had left off before and both Stings were still selectable. The Accelerator still worked as well. Went into option and unlockables, hit square, and everything unlocked again. Custom Superstars were deleted, stats were reset, 2K Showcase was reset, options was reset, and I'm pretty sure Universe mode was reset too. So basically everything except My Career mode, Sting, and the Accelerator gets reset.

Luckily, I had only 2 custom Superstars downloaded in Rollins and Ambrose, hadn't started Universe mode yet, and only played 1 match in 2K Showcase, so for me I didn't really lose anything. My biggest concern was losing My Career progress. So glad I didn't. I took a chance hitting yes because I really wanted to play.

This is still a big problem that needs to be addressed. People shouldn't have to play this game in fear of turning it on and being forced to reset pretty much everything.

Yeah. Same thing happened to me this morning. Downloaded the accelerator last night and everything was fine until I fired up the game this morning. Received that message and decided to just accept what happened rather than wait. Since I havent played anything but the showcase, it wasnt a huge deal. Sort of upsetting though since i completed 12/19 of the "Hustle, loyalty, disrespect" portion of the showcase. Even though I downloaded the accelerator, I was still going through the showcase to unlock my items. However, since I had to start over, i used the accelerator to download and unlock all the content to soften the blow.

Despite the issues, I am having tons of fun playing the game. Going to try to do the showcases again to get that completed. I like to do those first and then move onto my universe and my career but may just do it all in parallel.

Ok, yeah that would become an issue for the hardcore guys for sure.
