Operation Sports Forums - View Single Post - WWE 2K15's Gameplay is an Evolution, Not a Revolution

Personally, the gameplay is far superior than that of any WWE game that has come out since the SVR series, but also that's not saying much. Still the gameplay is great and I love playing the game purely on the gameplay aspect. However, the cons seem to be on par with the pros. MyCareer is lackluster as you just play match after match, no cutscenes so far and vickie guerrero just tells you the same thing week after week. No where near as exciting as the NBA 2k MyCareer where you have your own social media account and can "tweet" to other players, legends, characters in the game. Sponsors should also be in this game as well as movie deals, etc. Haven't checked out the Showcase yet so I can't speak on it. Universe Mode is solid, but still would like some more versatility in terms of the fluidity of feuds and partnerships. The commentary is just atrocious. I honestly think this is the worst commentary out of any WWE game released. It resembles nothing we hear on TV, which is still pretty bad, but still. The absence of JBL is very obvious as they are just two face commentators. Commentary is supposed to be accurate enough that you can close your eyes and know what's happening by just hearing them speak and this is nowhere near that realism. They messed up big time on that aspect of the game, but to be completely honest, I can't tell it's that bad because i'm lost in the gameplay and that makes it a little less painful to hear. I'd give this game around a 7 purely based on the graphics and gameplay, which is the base of the formula for a good sports game. Now they just need to polish up the rough edges of the gameplay, completely revamp the commentary, fire whoever worked on the MyCareer and bring in the insight of whoever helped create the NBA 2k MyCareer. I can live without a good soundtrack, although this years was pretty bad. So yeah, 7/10 for WWE 2k15. It's a nice start, but I expect much more in the future.
