WWE 2K16 Review: 5 Ups And 5 Downs You Need To Know About

1. Submission System

For me, this is a near impossible task. Having read all the pre-release info, I was expecting this to be a proper game of cat and mouse, with your toggling of the analogue stick completely controlling where your respective section in the circle heads to. However, there's simply no feel to the mini game. You find yourself twiddling your left thumb frantically but your section moves nowhere. Before you know it you opponent has caught up to you and you've lost the match. I can see how 2K have tried to use momentum and a pendulum-like swing to dictate where your section goes, but this - for me at least - makes it near impossible to escape the dastardly red bar. 2K need to change this so your movements on the toggle sticks represents where your bar goes. This would make for a lot more compelling, and lot less frustrating, facet of the game.
