Is there an instant replay option this year? ☺ really excited to do promos, trailers.. Etc.

Wow sounds awesome. Great stuff really cool hearing about the showcase on Stone Cold.

# 3 StormsWarning @ 08/24/15 11:20 AM

nice read thank you.

Hope they improved hairlines for people with long hair lol. Shawn Michaels and Triple H's hairlines were awful last year.

"I feel this year�s in-ring action blows away WWE 2K15."

Care to elaborate a bit more? I thought last years gameplay felt stale at times and could use more fluidity. I'm hoping this year feels more organic and less robotic if that makes any sense at all.

Makes perfect sense and that's pretty much exactly it. It just feels more fluid, the reversal system helps this. Thought it played wonderfully.

I like what I hear so far. Now I just want to know what they have improved and added in Universe mode.

Scott did you play against the AI. How is it, has it improved from 2K15.

Anyone know if the option to kick out of a pin by button smashing is in? Honestly that meter ruined it for me. I don't see why they can't put button smashing as an option.

The reversal system sounds pretty neat, and will probably make HvH much better.

I'd be fine with it as an option, but I never, ever want them to go back to only button mashing. I hate button mashing. I don't necessarily love the current kick out system, but almost anything is better than button mashing.

The reversal system sounds huge for match pacing.

This is not a test.

Excellent read, it got my hopes up after the misstep that was wwe2k15.

Still no sign of a online federation. ........bummed

Spoke to Mark Little today and wanted to clear up something in my article.

From what i've read online, it basically 2k15 with new roster =(
Hope it doesn't turn out that way

# 17 ExtremeGamer @ 09/20/15 11:33 PM

Well. It didn't play like 2K15.

New submission system, new pin meter, new way of doing reversals. From those 3 things alone it couldn't possibly just be a roster update.
