The ability to select a storyline template for a created rivalry is something that I miss.ĢK Showcase made a return and delivered one of my favourite wrestling story modes in the past decade. Universe mode provided more entertainment, too. It’s one of the few WWE 2K titles that fared well in the fight against glitches. I view it as being superior to 2K17, though, for how technically impressive it was at the time. Its fellow newcomer, M圜areer mode, had a fair debut, but suffered from a lot of repetition.ĢK15 was successful in giving fans a taste of the future of the series, but its severe lack of content compared to its predecessor gave them a horrid aftertaste. The debuting 2K Showcase mode was a lot of fun. The inability to even create a women’s wrestler was, quite frankly, disgraceful. WWE 2K14‘s massive Creations Suite had been stripped down to the bare bones. Outside of the ring, however, 2K15 lacked in various departments. Smooth animations and visually appealing arenas added to the authenticity. A three-tier stamina meter, new submission system and fighting styles were just some of the additions that delivered a simulation gameplay experience that was satisfying enough. In-ring, this game was incomparable to any of the previous entries. Unfortunately, new hardware and engines meant rebuilding from the ground up. When I played WWE 2K15 for the first time, the series felt fresher than it ever had before. This tied in with a new graphics engine, creating very impressive character models that wowed fans at the time. 2K wanted more simulation-heavy gameplay that accurately portrayed real life WWE matches. The franchise’s first release on PS4 and Xbox One marked a drastic change in direction. The changes to the gameplay of matches, however, laid some nice foundations for the next two entries in the series. Some bugs that occurred in Universe hurt my motivation to play also.
As much fun as I had playing matches, the lack of quality improvements on game modes meant that I got bored quite quickly. Suplex City didn’t take up residence inside my PS4 many times after my first week of playing. This title was plagued, though, with issues that this list will show are long-term, such as glitches and lackluster areas of presentation e.g. The return of backstage brawls brought back some of the arcade fun from the THQ games. Taunts would now add temporary buffs to wrestlers, giving players better reason to execute them.
Rollouts during multi-person matches prevented chaos and contests going on for too long. Matches in 2K17 flowed a lot better than its predecessors, as small changes ended up making a big difference.
