WWE 2K15: 10 Ways It Lived Up To The Hype

8. Updated Gameplay

The gameplay is a crucial part of any video game, whether it be of the wrestling genre or not. The game could have the greatest roster to date and an awesome soundtrack, but none of it will matter if you aren't able to get through a match without experiencing issues with how the characters navigate around the ring, interact with each other and everything else in between. Thankfully, WWE focuses on improving the gameplay for each of their annual releases based on feedback from fans and WWE 2K15 is no exception. Among the changes made to the gameplay in WWE 2K15 include an all-new chain grappling system that wrestling gamers are sure to love. It involves a mini-game between two opponents that decides who gets the upper hand in a collar-and-elbow tie-up. It occurs sparingly throughout the match and can be turned off in the menu at any time. Some cool aspects of past games, such as the Catch and Catapult Finishers, have returned. The stamina and submission systems have also been revamped, ensuring for a highly interactive gameplay that makes it more realistic than ever before.
