WWE 2K16 Gameplay Video and Details Revealed - More on Grappling and Reversal System

08:21 AM - August 4, 2015 by Steve_OS

IGN has posted some WWE 2K16 gameplay and entrance videos, along with some gameplay details. Chain grappling returns, with more transitions and moves, they will also have more impact with the different attribute values each wrestler has. So you will see ties, resulting in cheap shots or breakups. Working grapples are new this year, if you initiate the grapple, you can rest to gain more stamina, while your opponent loses some.

Quote:


	You start each match with a limited stock of reversals. Once you use one, it will slowly regenerate over time, meaning that if you try to counter every move thrown your way, you'll be out in no time flat, leaving you completely vulnerable until one regenerates. What's more, you can now pass on your initial chance to reverse a move at its startup, and instead attempt a mosre difficult to time "major" reversal mid-move. It will cost you two reversal stocks, but the effects can be match-changing, debuffing your opponent in a variety of possible ways and giving you time to really turn things around.

Below are a few more WWE 2K16 details:

MyCareer is back, and this time it goes a lot further, all the way to you gaining admission to the WWE Hall of Fame.
Create a Diva, Create a Show, Create an Arena, and Create a Championship are back in!

If i read the Universe mode tidbit right your gonna be able to have people set on more then just one "brand" so that means you could have Kevin Owens assigned to Raw AND NXT

Cole saying "Now THAT's making an entrance" about Rollins right after not saying a word during Balor's entrance. Lmao

I hope there's more Universe news besides just that.

Did you guys see the guy in the crowd wearing a SWAFT shirt? I'm excited that tag team is in the game.

There is a video highlighting a bunch of NXT shirts as well as legends and regular roster people.

In 2K15, the crowd is locked into facing the ring at all times. It gets hilarious when, say, The Undertaker is chokeslamming somebody on the ramp and nobody is looking at him.

Yeah stuff like that doesn't bother me because like you, I tend to find it more hilarious than anything. Though I can understand why it bothers some.

Reed is comin' atcha!!

All this sounds great but...I will still hate life if creating your wrestler takes forever long due to 2 minute load times to add an arm band.
