WWE 2K16: 10 Awesome Old Features That Must Return

3. Hell In A Cell Is Actually Fun To Play

This entry pretty much goes hand-in-hand with the aforementioned arguments against making pro wrestling games heavy on realism and simulation. The first time gamers had the chance to play a Hell In A Cell match was in WWF Smackdown 2: Know Your Role, and even though the mode was altered somewhat (the cage doesn't surround the ring, instead simply being 'attached' to it), there was still fun to be had. Contrast that with the Hell In A Cell battles in WWE 2K15, which often feel like a chore rather than an exciting mini-sandbox of hidden opportunities, and it's like night and day. Yes, 2K15 definitely nails the visual aspect of Hell In A Cell, but in order to do that, it strips a lot of what made the matches so much fun. For years, gamers tried to find ways to crash opponents through the steel, or drop them through the roof off the cell itself, but these seem more tedious than fun in 2K15. A lot of the problem stems from the awkward 'right place, right time' mechanics in the game, something which has steadily crept up into WWE titles over the years. The pay off isn't substantial enough when gamers do manage to pull off that sick-looking moment, hurling a rival from the top of the cell, because it's so mind-numbingly fidgety to set up the move. That needs to change in 2K16, gamers need a reason to get excited by Hell In A Cell again.
