I still can’t understand why people didn’t like 2k15, I loved it just as much as the SVR series and the previous wwe 12,13 and 2k 14 games, the graphics were a huge treat too

[@oscaraguilar9393]

Id say it was mostly cause there was less match types and career mode was lackluster. I had 15 on ps3 and loved it tho

[@yallknownikkiyt1230]

The creation suite was really limited that’s why I didn’t like it a lot.

[@hypn0298]

It was awful on ps4/Xbox one, had barely any match types or creation options, it was buggy as hell, and had a terrible career mode. The only good thing was showcase mode. Even on the ps3/360 version (which was very similar to 2k14) Create a story and Create a finisher were removed.

[@zacktyler2810]

[@kevinschofieldjr.9927]

I think 2K got rid of chain wrestling because some players actually complained about it

[@WizeBan]

I liked it

[@kevinschofieldjr.9927]

@@WizeBan I know me too

[@Rocket1377]

It slowed the gameplay down, so I can understand why some players didn't like it. AEW Fight Forever has brought it back, only it's much faster now.

[@smoothrealism8259]

​​@@Rocket1377t's only the beginning of the match and it was optional to turn off or on. Why take away so many sim aspects when you can just go ham on Battlegrounds? Maybe if they put some effort on that game and made it good, they wouldn't have to take away things from us sim gamers. Edit: I forgot to mention that even if you turned it on, the opponent doesn't have to engage in it. He can just attack you immediately, completely skipping the chain grappling

[@laughingtom1132]

People will complain about literally anything

[@Albert_YTC]

The fact they added tired finishers back in but made you get up immediately after is so 2K

[@aesthetic4829]

I feel like I’m the only one who actually enjoys the transitions from gameplay to real footage, and back to gameplay. 2K23 kinda stepped back since there’s not narration, but at least with 2K22 it was so hype seeing you pull of moves and how smoothly it transitions to the real thing and then back it really drives home the point that you’re playing the actual matches. Some of the older showcases are cool but it just feels more like a road to wrestlemania or universe mode how the cutscenes play out.

[@nomore9532]

It is cool but youtubers cant show it

[@rachaelcollins7978]

[@yazeedalshammari3082]

[@Bwwe82090]

Hey, there's also another thing you can do in WWE2K15 that you can't do in WWE2K23 and that is do diving finishers off the elimination chamber pods. For example RVD, Five star splash but in WWE2K23 you can only do a diving splash.

[@juantooquiet]

The thing that frustrates me the most about 2k23 is the fact that I have to grapple my opponent then hit a move. It would be so much better if we could have the option to choose between simulation mode (2k15-19) and arcade mode (2k22-23)

[@vinces4812]

I hate that we need to do a front face lock in order to irish whip. A front face lock before doing a carry move. It’s stupid.

[@smoothrealism8259]

Collar & Elbow tie up done beyond the beginning of a match is crazy unrealistic. However, there's a workaround where you can make it obsolete (not online) if you wanna do your grapple moves USE THE COMBO SYSTEM instead. You can be like kick, punch, then press grapple and it'll do moves without locking up. You can fit a whole move list on it. To avoid lock up for Irish whips you have 2 choices... assign hard strikes like a forearm shot that have knock back, it'll make him fall on the ropes or corner, from there you Irish whip. You'll still have to initial grapple but it won't be the Collar & Elbow 2nd method is grapple from behind, then Irish whip. It'll be a waist lock and when you Irish whip there's an animation of a forearm to the back before he Irish whips.

[@abdulrehmanscraftingtutori5506]

Some times we cannot pickup our opponent and throw them that’s what I want in wwe 2k22 and 23 but other than that it’s better

@@KalomikaArts2k16/17 had some of it but never enough to compare to 2k15's ragdoll physics

[@2Bound2]

I was mad confused and angry that I couldn’t swanton bomb off a ladder, and that’s one of the core moves of high flyers in WWE On a side note tho running with ladders and tables is a bit busted, but the leaning ladders thing, while being in both games, is way better in 15, a slight breeze blows the ladder off the ropes in 23 and there isn’t much to do with it.

[@MRodriguez7467]

I liked 2k22's showcase WAY better than 2k23's because the cover star actually commentated during the cutscenes.

[@AlphaGamingClubOfficial]

In 2K’s defense for chain wrestling and only that, a lot of people were saying that it was slow and annoying and they didn’t want it cuz they wanted fast gameplay and now that we have fast gameplay people want it back. AEW game is showing that a fun game with the element of wrestling is possible and it’s not one or the other like a lot of “influencers” and the 2K people think. I still believe if 2K20 would’ve worked and we kept that format we would have the greatest wrestling game rn

[@Zay0010]

facts, i really dont like the controls, bc everytime i go back to 2k19 or older wwe 2k game it feels like playing a new release game

[@Bwwe82090]

I believe if Yukes( the people that made the wwe games for a long time) had not left after 2K19, WWE2K20 would be a good game.

[@KasumiRINA]

I hated the slow gameplay of 2k15-20, cutting facelock or rest holds didn't help, removing reversal and minimizing stamina limits helped.

[@zacktyler2810]

Agreed. It's those stupid @$$ "fans" that don't know what they want.

[@zacktyler2810]

[@Rocket1377]

I'm glad they took out the running irish whips. Those aren't realistic. Wrestlers do not just run towards someone, grab their wrist, and spin them around into the ropes in real life. They have to be stationary to do the Roman handshake.

WWE 2K15 Is One Of My Favourite! :D The Ragdoll Physics i love it! This game is awesome

[@motalkbadazs]

They know what they're doing. Introduce a hot feature and take it away 3 years later just to bring it back 10 years later and label it as "new". The tired finisher feature of 2K15, the TLC of svr11, and the online of WWE '13 and 14 all in one 2K24 package would be my ideal wrestling game that I would NEVER put down for years to come but THQ/Yukes/2K/VC will always dissapoint me with the removal of awesome features and introducing crappy ones like the poor mycareer of 2K22

[@hypn0298]

When I realized all the stuff that got removed from 2k22 (gameplay wise) I started to prefer 2k19 again

[@consciousbuddah]

The stamina/damage system in the new 2k games stinks. I miss the fall damage of the old games where if you jumped off a ladder and missed you’d be laid out for a minute. Now you get up immediately. Same with tired finishers. In the old 2k games I was actually able to come close to recreating royal rumble 04 between HBK and HHH with both men staying down until an 8 count. That’s no where near possible in 2k23. Everybody no sells.

[@hiphopfans7]

Go to settings first finisher put 50 next 60 and 3rd 90 they'll oversell

[@waleedmalik785]

If a wrestler’s health bar is very low(below 50%)then for me they do stay down for a long time after a tired finisher

NHL 15 and WWE 2K15 had some similarities- they were the first next-gen versions on PS4/Xbox One, had great core gameplay but so many things stripped. And they were from different companies too. I guess they were just focused on wowing us with next-gen gameplay and graphics.
