WWE 2K15 Day One Impressions, Post Yours Here

10:40 AM - November 18, 2014 by RaychelSnr

With WWE 2K15 having kind of a strange release schedule, a lot of users have been waiting to see whether the new consoles make this year's entry worthy of the upgrade. After spending some time with the Xbox One version, it's safe to say that 2K's influence on this year's product is obvious. From some of the subtle animations changes and presentational flair, everything has received a boost in some way.

Then again, from what I've seen, there are clearly areas where corners have been cut to ship a product on time, such as missing modes, a smaller roster and a diminished creation suite. We're not talking NHL 15 levels of feature and mode omission here, but there are some items missing, so make sure you go in with your eyes open. Some users are quite upset at only 25 create-a-wrestler spots, for instance, compared to 100 on previous generation hardware.

Here are some of my quick impressions... (Make sure you share yours)

On your PS4, go to the PS store and then go to 'New' and then "New Add On's" I think it is. Sort it by Z-A and then you should see the accelerator and it should be free since you bought the season pass. click on it and download.

Go into the game. Go to options. Go to unlockables. Click square.

The more I play, the more I start to enjoy it and be disappointed at the same time. With what everyone has been saying, the lack of match types is disheartening. The lack of numerous creation modes leaves one bewildered. There isn't even an instant replay during the match, like there was last year.

I like the numerous attributes per wrestler now. I think we have more a chance to get a "SIM" experience now. I put Santino's stats below 40 and he got whooped each time.

The pace of the game is slow, which is good and bad.
The "aiming" of the attacks is slightly off. Playing with Sheamus against The Miz, I felt I had to get in the Miz's face just to have the "reach" to punch him. I'm standing a foot away and still miss with a punch.

The camera angles are to be desired. If you or your opponent is knocked down by the wall in front of you, good luck seeing the action there. During testing, why didn't they catch this obvious camera blockage?

The crowd is also hit or miss. Not very exciting.

Commentary? For the love that is wrestling, please gives us the ability to turn this off next year if you're going to stay with the game group. But, didn't 2k say they revamped this?

All the marketing on the improvements to the game, I think I've seen maybe 25%. Overall, it's a decent upgrade, but it's not what 2k marketed it to be. With that said, it makes me wonder why we had to wait an additional 3 weeks for the next gen release.

The commentary volume can be muted in the options.

My impressions:

-Little things: you can see the wrestler apply weight on canvas in the ring like in real life. Pay attention to the impression as he stands.

-The end of match lasts longer. On other versions, I always felt that the end of match celebration was caught off too quickly.

-The graphics are incredible and look spot on. Looks like you are watching a telecast.

-Stone Cold actually puts his hands around the ropes as he climbs the middle turnbuckle. Never seen this to this degree.

-Tile Menus are nice. Loading times are quicker than other versions of the game IMO.

-CPU vs CPU matches are entertaining to watch. Watch Undertaker vs. Brock at Summer Slam and the match went back and forth and lasted about 10 minutes. I know it's a video game. Taker won after Brock kicks out of last ride. Then tombstone and pin. Taker stumbled to get up and that is a nice touch of realism.

-Has anybody mentioned that at the end of the match, the wrestlers are showing sweat? Looks realistic.

-Crowd looks good. There are little kids scattered as well as advertised.

Cons:
-Like mentioned, too many things from the creative side were removed. But I'm not disappointed because I rather they leave it out than cause problems. I'm sure they will get things right next year. There is very little they can improve upon graphics wise so they will address the things other versions people liked. Can anybody believe what this game will be like in 2k18. Look at how things looked in 2k11 to compare.

-Warrior doesn't look proportional. I know it's impossible to scan him for obvious reasons, but I had him wrestle CM Punk and he looked three times wider. I'm exaggerating a bit. And his closeups showing his back look a bit fake.

-For years I've mentioned that the two man commentary should be 1) together AND AND AND 2) Both guys should be taped with crowd in the background. Otherwise, we get what we got which is like they are reading in a closed room and it doesn't feel real when you overlay them to the game.

-Arena Creation. I don't see why this would be omitted other than realizing that maybe it will be more memory intense and complex than just overlaying logos, colors, etc. I can wait until next year. Always loved wrestling "dark" matches in community arenas.

Seriously. What site do I go to upload my face?

Also, I haven't attempted to edit attires. Can you edit Cody enough to turn him into Stardust or do we have to go the CAW route?

You can edit him and save it as an alternate attire but it takes up a CAW slot.

Are most of you guys getting your skin tone matched pretty well? curious..

# 108 JazzMan @ 11/19/14 06:23 PM

I've noticed that the commentary is much better all-around in 2k Showcase, wonder if that's where all of the commentary work went into.

# 109 Reed1417 @ 11/19/14 06:34 PM

So I played a few matches...about 4 and let me say the gameplay is so good. Just got done an epic match with The Uso's and the Wyatt's Eric and Luke. The match went back and forth all the way and I could really tell when momentum shifted between each team. Plus with the way the game plays it is actually possible to SEE one team dominate and keep the other team away from said partner by cutting off one side of the ring. It's great. I want to get more comfortable with the controls before I start MyCareer though. So I may start sometime next week.

Reed is comin' atcha!!

# 110 PVarck31 @ 11/19/14 06:50 PM

One little thing that I really like is when the match ends they got rid of that awkward pause where the guy just stands there before celebrating and no music plays.

# 111 Cpre5 @ 11/19/14 06:59 PM

It's missing the new belt right?
Also we're stuck with two rosters and a draft rather then the single roster of the wwe today?

Man, you gotta make that decision on your own. I read the impression threads for both games on here and watched both on twitch. I got both and love both. If you like wrestling and aren't obsessed with the fluff, you'll love WWE. GTA is GTA. But asking others which to buy may not be the best idea.

Agree with this. Especially with stuff like GTA and WWE 2K15. If you can't decide between 2 games as different as those, you'd be just as well off flipping a coin as asking other people.

I feel that I'm probably gonna get both anyway just wanted to see which one I should get now. I do love wresting games n like @TheShizNo1 said GTA is GTA it's kind of a tough choice for me specially to see both on next gen. I usually buy one game a year and that's NBA2K, I'm trying to venture out for a change but can't make up my mind lol just needed a little guidance that's all....

# 118 Aggies7 @ 11/19/14 08:00 PM

Back on topic folks. Let's no derail this with a comparison thread please.

Really enjoying the game have to get used to conserving stamina but it does make the pacing much more realistic. Just been doing exhibiton matches to get the hang of the controls. Besides the notable omissions the game is fun & that's the main thing for me.
