SVGR - WWE 2K15 (XBOX One)

Episode 119: SVGR - WWE 2K15 (XBOX One)
WWE 2K15 is a professional wrestling video game developed by Yuke's and Visual Concepts, and is published by 2K Sports for the PlayStation 3 (PS3), PlayStation 4 (PS4), Xbox 360, Xbox One and Windows PC.

[@e93sports80]

The Story Creator mode was taken out completely. Not just in the next gen versions but also the PS3 and XBOX 360 versions.

[@nevermindgaming6848]

Yup

[@RoyStantz]

I got the PS3 version for Christmas 2014, and used it to simulate both WWF and WCW in 1992, including having Hogan vs. Flair at WrestleMania 8.

[@strikeromega]

Quick note--and this applies to pretty much every next-gen WWE game after 2k15...but basically, the reason chain wrestling stops happening after a few tries is because it would only happen when both wrestlers are on the first level of stamina. After that level's exhausted the minigame won't happen.

[@alec2000]

Man, coming from 2K14 to this was definitely a huge letdown. Can’t believe how they thought this was ok.

[@DrDoomBloom]

I appreciate the inclusion of a song from Marvel vs Capcom 2 in this video.

[@matthewmicelli6674]

The generation transitional titles tend to be the most painful ones.

[@NikateeN]

Matthew Micelli so true!

[@jcam.hart8]

Matthew Micelli With the exception of Smackdown vs Raw 2007 aka the first Smackdown vs Raw game on Xbox 360.

[@TheFEARSlayer01]

Matthew Micelli true svr 2007 was the only exception and just bring it is not that bad I also enjoy svr 2008 (ps2 version)

[@kingjaz7708]

Just Some Guy What about SvR 2008? That was the true transitional title. SvR 2007 only transitioned to the Xbox 360, while SvR 2008 made it to not only the PS3, but also the Wii and Nintendo DS

[@RealAlphaDrum]

[@denisezeidler4892]

Now look at WWE 2K19 it’s so much better than WWE 2K17 not just graphics wise but the 2K showcase was brought back and MyCareer improved And Payback ability’s introduced.

[@sheriffdraws8789]

I prefer this and 2k16 better. The new ones are way too saturated. The character models looked pinkish. 2k22 looks like this 2k15/16 which is how the programming we see on TV looks like so I'm happy

I felt exactly the same as you did when I got this game. I only played it a few times and never played it again. I hadn't been this disappointed with a WWE game since wrestlemania on the Xbox 360. And just like you I avoided 2k16, well that, and because cm punk was on the cover. Lol. Keep up the awesome job on your videos, your channel is like a hidden gem on KZbin.

[@Jaijai311]

My lady and I got married back in October and everything has been great since. I remember when you had about 3,000 or less subs and it's great to see that count climb higher. Are you going to review the Backyard Wrestling games? Ultimate Muscle on the gamecube is another cool wrestling game.

[@NikateeN]

Jaijai311 that's awesome man, congrats! Yea, the backyard wrestling titles for sure, and ultimate muscle is a must! I used to love the ultimate muscle games, but haven't played them in quite a while. I forgot about them for a few years.

[@newLEGACYFLEKZ]

You didn't even scratch the surface on how stripped down this shit was!! Surprised they even had a steel caged match in there

[@gamerdude612]

I like WWE 2K15 I played the xbox 360 version more since I didn't upgrade to xbox one until a year later but the next gen is good for what it is all though I hate when features are taken away rather than being added.but I do appreciate the graphics they blew me away the first time I played it just looks more real than ever it's really amazing to see how far the WWF/WWE games have come what will they look like in 5 or 10 years from now?.NikateeN thanks for these awesome vids as long as you post them I will indeed watch them and are there anymore arena showcase vids coming soon hope they are I enjoy that series too anyways keep up the good work dude👍🙂.

[@MuzammilParkar16]

The moment where WWE games started to go downhill

[@nwodxoriginal]

At least we still had 15, 16, and 17 on ps3 and x box 360 whichwas similar to wwe smackdown vs raw11, WWE 12, 13, & wwe 2k14. Had all the great match types from those games

[@Halfdanr_H]

The only things I liked about this game was the Raw '02 arena and the evolution stuff we got

[@MJ_Gray23]

The only wwe game I actually preferred playing more on PS3 than PS4, sure there were still some features removed from 2k14 but overall the game goes from sucking on current gen, to a surprisingly decent and fun wrestling game on last gen with 100 caw slots and arena creation, sure there wasn't a career mode but that doesn't make up for what was missing in the next gen version at the time, although 2k15 on PS3/360 still kinda sucks compared to 13/2k14 I think it's still miles better than the current gen version

[@nevermindgaming6848]

Nah 15 was just bad all round

[@ndg8240]

Compare these graphics to wwe2k22. These graphics looks very real.

[@lando_is_i]

You know, it would be cool to see your opinion on different types of games, such as NBA 2K and Tony Hawk.

[@Blazikenpwnsyou]

While its copied from 2K14, the 7th gen versions of 2K15 retains everything but the create-a-story, but everything there is in tact. It also has a different story mode called Who Got NXT. Just thought i'd let you know. :3

[@denisezeidler4892]

Blazikenpwnsyou weird that 2K couldn’t barely have any creation suite on the next gen but last gen does what i don’t understand that also because next gen has more space on it so it can do a bunch of stuff but 2K didn’t do much on next gen on their first WWE game weird.

[@denisezeidler4892]

Yeah on the last gen of course.

[@RNC200711]

I have this for PS3 and it was easily the worst WWE game since SmackDown vs. Raw 2008, the only saving grace for this was the Cena/Punk, Path of The Warrior and Michaels/HHH showcases, congrats on another fantastic review :)

[@jonathanscrutchensYT]

It's complete. Nice work but when we getting some basketball titles

[@moogibeans9822]

I had this on PS3, literally bought it for Sting, haha. It was okay, but on PS3, I dont remember it being any different than the games before it. It did let you create your own arena, though. That was cool : p

[@NikateeN]

Moogi Beans I want to play the 360/PS3 versions because I have a feeling they're pretty decent.

[@moogibeans9822]

Tbh, I felt like it was WWE 12 but with a different roster and the ability to create arenas : p I did enjoy it though, I enjoyed having a bunch of WCW stars and being able to download really well made WCW arenas.

[@diyrecords1802]

I like this game, I still play it, well on he ps3

[@kazallroberts]

Another thing that always bothered me during this period of WWE video games is the audio for ring introductions, the ring announcers sound too arena-seated and synthetic.

[@pyroassassin533]

2K15 was a very disappointing wrestling game. I remember being let down week after week as 2k announced the stuff that they were taking out. I think this game was stripped down because of the transition from current gen to next gen as they had to write new code and work with the new technology. Its just like Just Bring It from the transition from PS1 to PS2. Short season mode, less match types etc. However in spite of all that I said, it still liked the game. I'm more of a simulation fan then arcade fan and they did include a lot of gameplay improvements. I remember marking out the fatigue finishers and crawling pins, definitely added to the drama of the match, the OMG moments were also pretty nice. I was also a fan of the Showcase Mode since I am a huge fan of the ruthless aggression era. And this game did build a really good foundation for the later games. I think things are looking up for the 2K series and to be honest, I would rather play 2K17 than any game from SvR 09-2K14.

[@cortezmauricio5654]

Cenas on the cover lol what did you expect

[@kriziaPrincexx]

pyroassassin dude I am also fan of ruthless aggression era late but should I get this game now because I don’t like 2k19 submission system game suck there. Is submission easy in 2k15? Reply asap

[@denisezeidler4892]

The submission on WWE 2K15 is just mash one button A or X depending on what console you play on you gotta mash it really fast though.

[@TonyDanza4Lyfe]

JBI was far better than this. JBI was still a fundamentally awesome game and it did add stuff everybody wanted like full on entrances. And the season mode was fun at the time you just had to play it a bunch but that was fine with me.

[@zackreynolds21]

The last games had a fantastic mix of past,present,and even future WWE,along with the roster and creation tools to make spot on ECW,WCW,TNA,ANYTHING. This game,however,was the first modern WWE focused game...and that’s not a compliment

WWE 2K15 was the very first WWE game to feature the Chris Benoit CAW ban, but when the later WWE 2K games came out years later, the Benoit CAW ban was lifted, which was stupid. And that's not all: the WrestleMania 20 triple threat match is mentioned in this game, but it is never featured. It was the tiple threat match where Benoit beat HBK and Triple H for the World Heavyweight title, which now a forgotten match because Benoit's real-life double-murder/suicide. I can understand why WWE does not want to mention Benoit's name again, but what was the point in mentioning the WrestleMania 20 triple threat match in the game, anyway? That makes no sense.

I hate how they change the mat bump sounds, they got them right in 2k14, they didn't need to change them, even in the current releases they still haven't changed them which is pure laziness.

[@Tirgo69]

Actually bought this game in 2022 to see what the first next gen Yuke's WWE game was like and man, it's really not great. Tons of stuff just gone from 2K14, hardly any modes or anything to do, the roster is worse, the new gameplay features are basically just the same gimmickry they experimented with earlier games just presented as new (chain wrestling). Getting 2K19 in the mail now but I can't imagine it isn't a huge improvement over this game. The graphics don't even impress me. You can't even create a title! SD!2 to JBI was a little underwhelming sure and it lost the Season Mode but at least the entire game didn't feel like a significant downgrade
