WWE 2K16: 10 Awesome Old Features That Must Return

10. System Can Cope With More Wrestlers At Once

Smackdown: Just Bring It may have been a colossal disappointment upon landing on the PS2 during the Festive period of 2001, but the game wasn't without merit. Similarly, WWE 2K15 has some cool things to offer, but much like Just Bring It, they're mired beneath a whole load of frustration and bewilderment. Even so, Just Bring It could handle more wrestlers on-screen at once than 2K15, and that's unforgivable. This is 2015, WWE games by now should be offering players everything they've ever hoped and desired. Technology obviously isn't an issue, and is certainly better - by a considerable margin - than it was in 2001. Gamers were frustrated by a poor Story Mode and lack of inspiration and creativity with Just Bring It, which must sound familiar to those who picked up WWE 2K15. With that said, Just Bring It allows up to 8 wrestlers in the ring at one time, which is more than the 6 allowed by 2K15. How is that even possible? Disc space and processing power should not be problems at this point, why can't there be more characters on the screen at one time? This is especially jarring in Royal Rumble matches, and ruins the flow of the match. It's a relatively small gripe, sure, but an annoying one nonetheless.
