WWE 2K15 Day One Impressions, Post Yours Here

[Bard]

Coming to terms that i'll never beat Neville, dude is insane and counters everything I do. Also just had a 5 star match with Zayn which was actually very good, we both hit our finishers on each other twice and the match ended with me forcing him to submit with the sharpshooter.

So good news the install didn't take as long as I thought. Bad news is I may not be able to play till later on in the week. Until then I'm glad you guys are having fun with the game and I'm looking forward to playing it!! Keep em coming guys!!

Have my Universe all set up how I want it, waiting for DLC to introduce my secret ingredient to it. Will start posting either tomorrow or Thursday just depends if I am in the writing mood.


MyCareer is a blast, just got promoted to Superstars and am still the NXT champion. Bought Paul Heyman as my manager so been getting DQ'd in some matches to get easy heel turn, mainly did it out of frustration because I wasn't getting the pin system but I got the hang of it almost right after...go figure.

So far I've only played 2k Showcase and I'm loving the improvements to the gameplay. Yes, the chain wrestling and stamina system are great, but it's the little things that really do it for me. Like how if your opponent is on the ground and you grapple him to close to the ropes your wrestler will automatically drag him away before doing a move, and how during some Irish whips and other moves it makes it look like the wrestlers are calling out spots to one another. A bunch of little things like that make the gameplay seem really polished.

I wonder if we'll get the DLC characters into MyCareer mode yet. Keep us posted. My impressions from skipping last year's version is that it's completely different and I like it. The game is slower but in a good way in my opinion. It's like a nice slow burn and although the crux of my time yesterday (3+ hours) was creating myself so I can role play if I started a career in the WWE, I did get to play a few games through MyCareer and I enjoyed it. You see a natural progression and there's a build up until the final pin. I'll need to play more but just my first impressions.

PS. Somebody is a Paul Heyman guy!

My random impressions:

- Graphics are amazing. Definitely a game that looks "next gen". Can't get over how good it looks.

- Looking forward to scanning my face, but it sucks you have to do it on a PC and it sounds like people are having issues.

- Sting looks amazing. Glad I pre-ordered, but really missing Hogan now. Do I have to wait until after all the DLC is released for him to show up in the store or is another version of Hogan included in the Warrior DLC pack?

- I won a match as Bray and it played Luke Harper's music afterwards lol

- Was a huge pain in the *** getting the season pass and accelerator going because of their in game store issues.

- I like the game play, my only complaints would be the grapple mini game might get old quick once the novelty wears off, but I do like it so far. I like the pacing as well, but I don't like that actions almost seem delayed.

- Really like new animations like guys using the ropes to get up after taking a lot of damage. Stuff like that makes it look so much more realistic.

- The commentary is still hot garbage.

- I know the exclusion of a lot of stuff is what people are really harping on, but it was mostly stuff I didn't use anyways so I don't care as much. I don't think I normally use more than 25 CAW spaces anyways so, that restriction doesn't bother me either.

- I won't complain to much about the roster, especially once the DLC hits. Smaller roster, but basically every current star and legend I would really want except most notably Scott Hall.

- Really gonna miss NWO from 2K14. That was so badass having NWO finally.

My initial impression to the game was "wow, these graphics are amazing!" You could tell that some wrestlers weren't scanned, but honestly, to me, it doesn't make THAT huge of a deal and I'm not getting up in arms over that. Everyone has their own movement and style. At times, there's a bit too much floating in their walking/feet planting movements, but there again, nothing to complain about.

Once I started playing, I was getting frustrated. Blocking windows were varied, I was getting reversed a lot more, things like that. I was still playing it a bit with the 2K14 mindset. Once you adapt to the new game, it turns into something COMPLETELY different. Matches were very exciting, even when I was zapping myself of stamina. Which, by the way, learn how to control your stamina. Sure, you might be standing around a bit, but let that stuff rebuild when you can. Especially if you have a high flyer. There were a lot of times where it was back and forth, like a real match, with the entertaining bumps and spots. I even broke out some rest holds hahahaha. I feel 2K did a great job in recreating the pace, about as well as you can do in a videogame.

Overall, I'm about 4 hours into the game. I've played a little bit of the Showcase, but mostly have focused on My Career. Its not quite what I was expecting it to be, but then again, I'm still starting out and am in NXT, so I have hope it will continue to grow and build as I progress. There are some times where its just frustrating because your guy has such low attributes. But it is also true to life in that sense. If I were to rate the game on a scale of 10, I'm happy with putting it at a 7.5. Room to grow, but definitely not as disappointing as everyone is making it out to be.
