While theres no doubt that WWE 2K15 will feature an insane amount of available moves -- some new -- there are a handful of maneuvers that have already been featured in past games that sorely need updating. These moves -- often finishers -- are just poorly animated or inaccurate. As such, here are some moves that could be reworked and improved.
33. Body Splash
Theres already a version of this move in the game, but its animation is lackluster. A new version is needed, modeled after the version used by Big E and Ryback -- after rebounding off the ropes, they leap high into the air and come crashing down on their opponent.
32. Killswitch
Christians longtime finisher has been in the WWE games series forever, but that also feels like the last time it received a new animation. An update version of the maneuver is definitely needed.
31. Corner Dropkicks
In 2K14, Daniel Bryan was giving a running dropkick to a cornered opponent as a strike attack, and it was acceptable. However, adding a specific move featuring his repeated running kicks to the head would be more appropriate.
30. YES! Lock
The version found in last years game was perfectly acceptable, except that it could only be applied while standing. A new grounded version of Daniel Bryans finisher would be a worthy addition -- as would other possible variations of his signature submission.
29. WMD
A taunt-less updated variation of Big Shows devastating punch is required. The current version of the WMD leaves a lot to be desired. The ability to hit the WMD from out of nowhere is what gives the move its appeal, which should be represented in the game.
28. Sweet Chin Music
The current version of HBKs famous kick is acceptable, but its the selling of his opponent that leaves much to be desired. A more sudden and dramatic fall would improve this move immensely.
27. Stone Cold Stunner
Currently theres no real viable Stunner option in the game. Each current version has its oddities. The standard move features all superstars flipping and rolling around like The Rock. Meanwhile, the alternatives are old animations that sorely need updating. A more standard, impactful, and realistic Stunner is needed.
