WWE 2K15 Day One Impressions, Post Yours Here

09:40 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)

This just started last night but it seems my game won't load past the John Cena screen...there is nothing to press and music is playing...any ideas?

One word- BAD! I really don't understand it, they had a full extra year kinda like NHL 15 and it's still this bad? Yes the game looks great and controls are good for the most part but what happened to all the match types? Or all the wrestlers? And than they are going to charge us for DLC? Kinda like 2k hoops last year and Live and NHL this year a 65 dollar price is way to much. Very disappointed and the game has already been returned!

Don't all game companies charge for DLC? Your complaints ring hollow imo, but it's your money dude.

Yea I had to overwrite my saved data too. What a joke!

Now I'm on their site trying to upload my fat face, but I keep getting an error "502 Bad Gateway".

Seriously, at this point there is no valid reason why you can not select a difficulty mode.

The controls just seem off. The game is one giant QTE-fest.

They do for a full game- this by far ain't a full $65 game!

I really wish I can make career mode harder. If I knew it would get this easy I would have not upgrade my guy as much.

# 148 Tha_Kid @ 11/20/14 10:06 PM

The last couple years I found reversals very easy on default difficulty, but this year I can't get the timing for ground grapple reversals at all. I like the overall effect of stamina but I don't like how many reversals automatically perform an attack. I knew going in that was something they changed but I think slowing the game down and adding stamina was enough to stop the reversal fest, but now you get one move reversed with low stamina and its nanight

Yes it is.

I'm not losing my progress!

I am also getting this message. I'm not deleting my save data so 2K better sort this out.

my first impressions from 3 offline and 3 online matches:

slower gameplay feels relaxed and fun, the stamina system keeps the pace under control - time will tell if it is to slow and the stamina gauge too high.

graphics are at best "OK", atmosphere is too - the crowd-reaction still needs tweaking - the reactions were fairly accurate til the final moments of the match, where a finisher reversal wasnt cheered at all

playing online then was a huge disappointment as all three matches were laggy and above all a counter-festival. the slower gameplay this year however cushions the blow

i dont get it, how 2k f*cks up all again and again?! (refering to nba2k14/15 here - also slight control delay through all online modes). in a game, where timing is crucial, this is a killer for me.

That's nonsense. There is plenty to do. That's why they have given us MyCareer and universe - two modes that are by nature long or infinite.

We can change attires for everyone, the roster is good, the game looks nice, I don't see how this isn't a full game. I suppose that statement is the cool one to make these days...

# 153 The 24th Letter @ 11/21/14 07:27 AM

I wasn't that impressed with the graphics looking at videos...but once I played I have to say that the game looks really good. I actually like the pace of the matches, everything flows really well. I love the way damage\fatigue is done.

I heard everyone complaining about commentary and pretty much brushed it off...but it really is an ugly spot, It's something I never comment on, but it sticks our like a sore thumb. If they have to get generic, or 'B' announcers to commentate because they can't get Cole\Jerry in the studio long enough, then man, I'd be ok with it.

# 154 Gronk4M13 @ 11/21/14 07:28 AM

I'm unsure how I feel about tag team matches in this game. Part of me says, it's awesome, the matches are so competitive. Part of me wishes the illegal partners would interact more so the pins weren't always broken up.

# 155 enyc718 @ 11/21/14 08:48 AM

Here go my two cents. My first and really only impression of the game is that I miss last years rosters. BUT, I'm excited to use this years roster. I have not played one single match. I'm halfway through setting up my universe. I'm pretty excited to finally play atleast one match and see what the hype is all about.

# 156 eremiomania @ 11/21/14 09:04 AM

Apparently my face logo was too big to upload. I kept shrinking it and eventually I got it to upload.

I'm not happy with this face thing. I was really excited about this feature, but it is not working for me. Basically, you have to make your CAWs face look as much like yourself as you can and then throw your face logo on over the CAW face to make it look a little more like you. Still looks nothing like me lol.

The UK digital deluxe edition didn't surface until nearly 00:30 this morning, and I haven't had time to check but it seems like I won't get Sting now which is a shame.

These are very raw first impressions based on my 6 or 7 demo matches and one match after the game fully installed before work this morning.

I like:

The smoothness of gameplay

the way the wrestler drags the other one to the middle of the ring before attempting a move

Loading times

The music is decent from what I've heard so far

Quite enjoying the chain wrestling

I too like how they've fixed that strange post-match delay where you just wait for a couple of seconds

I don't like (as much):

The input lag

The seemingly reduced (just in terms of moves available) move sets.

I'm leaving work a couple of hours early so I can dig into the attire creation

Can someone tell me if there's a 2k network (like draft classes and rosters in NBA, etc.) where you can download already created guys onto your XB1? I was hoping I could create 1 guy and then have 24 past WWE wrestlers that someone would've already made. I'm just not great at that kind of thing. I am getting this game because I used to love the games, but don't watch anymore. So I want more "old-timers" in there w/o making them myself. Sorry if this is both already answered or the wrong spot. I tried to do due diligence to make sure it wasn't answered and I didn't see it anywhere. Thank you!

thanks!!

Yep, there are community creations. There are a lot of legends already created on there, and it's only been a few days since release!

Well it started working again but now I can't get by my other problem. When I go Under Community Creations, My logo the game freezes, it was uploading my face fine before, now it's giving me problems.

I can search the community for downloads but I click where I get the Upload Token and my game face would be and it's freezes.

Also if you save a face as Jpeg it will have a background right?
