WWE 2K16 Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here

Game is an absolute blast. I stayed up until 2:15 in the morning Tuesday night playing and played quite a bit yesterday. Maybe because I haven't played a wrestling game in years, but I am having so much with this game just going random exhibition matches.

I am having trouble finishing off people with submissions as well. I forgot about the yellow orb though. I'll make an effort next to me to get that and see if I can finally get a win via submission.


What is the green bar that pops up sometimes with reversals?

Is there a move list anywhere? I feel like I'm missing out on certain moves.

Green bar or green circle?

2K does an amazing job with NBA 2K commentary, but damn WWE 2K commentary is stale within a few minutes. Playing with commentary off again as always.

They dont have the same amount of time with the WWE 3 that NBA does with Harlan, Kellogg and Anthony. If WWE had an offseason, they could do more audio sessions with the WWE announcers.

Ahh yeah didn't think about that. I think I'd be willing to sacrifice the real announcers for good generic ones. But I know the mass wouldn't feel the same.

Loving this game so far. First match I did random and it picked Brian Pillman, used his WWE attire and it was the crazy Brian throwing up the 4 Horsemen symbol. Did random for opponent and it picked Dolph. I was really happy for this match.

I lost the first one then won the rematch, both matches had a nice amount of back and forth and like many have said the pacing was on point. I noticed no blood so went to options turned it on and noticed turn off reversal limit. Picked both again and although it was a pretty good match I won more easily.

Went right back to options to turn reversal limit back on, don't mind loosing matches and it's so much better with it on. Great job 2k

Some moves have two reversal moments. The first one - the "weak" reversal point - costs one reversal stock and is shown with a green reversal indicator. The second one - the "strong" reversal point - costs two reversal stock, is shown with a red reversal indicator, and stuns an opponent when successfully executed.

You can see a wrestler's signatures and finishers in the match (and the situations for performing each) in the pause screen, but beyond that I think you're gonna have to go to the move-set editor to see the moves list per-wrestler.

Played a few matches last night. First blush impressions are this game is certainly more enjoyable than previous WWE games. Better pacing, movement and flow to the matches now. The reversal system was a great call; love the extra added strategy element.

The new submission system is going to take me a while to figure out. I was terrible with similar systems in UFC 3 and EA UFC.

AI is improved but they still make some odd choices at times. I'm losing matches on Normal though (lost to Stardust as Daniel Bryan), so I won't complain too much.

Is there a block button for strikes? I try not to use my reversals for those, but I don't think I have a choice since I can't just block a strike.

The grapple controls are a bit foreign to me, too. I'll have to keep playing and see if I can figure out how that all works.

Commentary and crowd reactions are a sore spot for me. Graphics are a mixed bag; some wrestlers look amazing and others look last-gen.

The good news is that after playing last night, I have the desire to keep playing the game. Previous years I'd play for an hour or two and grow bored because the gameplay really hadn't changed to challenge me.
