WWE 2K16 (PS4)

As much as I love the WWE games to play, and as great as WWE 2K15 was, I felt there were too many versions of the same wrestlers, plus a lot of legends, it meant a lot of current superstars like Zack Ryder, Heath Slater, plus Divas like Alicia Fox, Layla, and Aksana (even though she was released but she was still there for when the game was being developed). However, this game is something else. The roster is perfect. Even the Divas roster is brilliant, and good to see they're getting some attention and they've listened for what the fans wanted. Also a good selection of NXT stars too like Finn Bàlor and of course Samoa Joe who will be part of the DLC content. My only problem with the game is the new submission controls, I'm getting nowhere with them. However, the game still rocks, plus I got it one day earlier than the release date. Just made things that little more brilliant!

this is a great game that should be perfect but unfortunately its full of glitches ,I would expect this on the ps3 as game developers don't really care about the last gen consoles but not on the ps4 ,the most current update is version 1.04 ,some glitches are more annoying than others and the glitches include...walking on the air outside the ring near the barricade (this happens sometimes when you do a move into the barricade)omg moment on the announcers table (cpu falls through the table while you stand on it) ,this has been fixed in the 1.04 patch and now requires you to have the right amount of stamina before doing the movejbl never seems to talk even though hes sitting with lawler and cole ,Iv only ever heard him talk a few times for about 4 seconds at the start of a match but lawler and cole repeat the same crap between themselves constantlyonline is a complete mess ,its still lags (glitches) very badly no matter what you play online and the servers almost always crashreversals not working properly sometimes even though you perform it correctlybuttons for kicking out of a pin when a finisher has hit you is very sticky ,almost unresponsive and extremely awkward but the cpu can kick out of it like it was nothing ,the cpu can have no energy left when you pin it and I don't think its meant to kick out of a 2% chance so try it on yourself and you will see its virtually impossiblethe submission system is atrocious ,when the cpu gets you in a submission its very hard to escape from it due to the sticky type movement ,you have crap movement due to the cursor movement being unresponsive at times and as usual the cpu is perfect at itcpu reverses all moves even on easy difficulty (this has been fixed in the 1.04 patch)sometimes the game screen when wrestling will go all blurry and out of focus ,I have noticed this more when doing an omg into the barricade on the bottom rightsometimes you don't rank up in my career after a lot of matches regardless of how well you did but sometimes you can rank up after a match then rank up again after the next match?the tag team championship in my career is badly glitched ,i won it with brock lesnar at the first ppv event beating the ascension when i was only at rank 9 in the chart meaning whoever your tag team is rivalling has the belts when they shouldn't have them at a low rank ,also the ps trophy (birth of a tag champion) also pops because the game somehow thinks you have spent hours on it?on the team up online match if you take on anyone with a level of 40 or over for some reason if you lose the match the 3 level up trophies unlock for you (prospect ,blue chipper and wwe live star trophies) ,this is probably the best glitch in the game as the wwe live star trophy requires you to be at level 37 which would take you ages. (I'm not sure if this has been fixed in the 1.04 patch)for people who play for the ps trophys the hall of fame ps trophy is also glitched and does not pop until you finish the next match after receiving all championship belts in my career mode ,it is meant to pop as soon as you win all 5 titleson the positive side away from the many glitches the game is very fast and smooth offline and has great graphics and also has lots of wrestlers (wwe and nxt) ,it also has lots of game options ...play - this is the exhibition matches one on one ,tag ,triple threat ,steel cage etcmy career - create a custom superstar and take him all the way to the hall of fame ,you start off at nxt ,the belts to go for are ,nxt ,us championship ,intercontinental ,tag team and world heavyweight championships2k showcase - this is a game mode surrounding stone cold steve Austin and his past matches ,complete in match objectives for unlockables ,there is also special objectiveswwe universe - like in the previous 2k games create your own wwe match cardwwe creations - create a superstar or diva ,move set ,arena ,championship etc ,also you can download community creations other people have created ie wrestlers and ringswwe online - play in online matches (2k tonight ,wwe live ,team up and private matches)this game is great playing it offline with plenty game modes to keep you busy but playing it online is just a complete mess at times ,every match I play online is very heavily laggy and as for all the glitches there should not be this many on a new gen console but some people will either like them or hate them.

Okay so the game didn't arrive till Saturday 31st October which was my only gripe but aside that the game is absolutely fantastic I've played it for at least 4 hours and I haven't budged since as its so addictive!! the pin system I had to get used to but finally managed to master it in the end for all the critics out there you've only had either played one match or haven't hardly played it yet and your writing this game off!! don't judge before you play or write a review on here as its a waste of time!! I'm on the stone cold showcase mode and it's brilliant! then gonna create my own wrestlers and go onto My career mode but defiantly this game is by far the best wwe game I've played and I'm giving it every single penny spent well! 10/10 5 stars out of 5 stars!! 😃😃😃😃

where to start, well firstly the roster has a mass of wrestlers to choose from its just a shame most are the same character over and over at different stages in there career but as I said there still the same wrestler so if you take this into account then it's not as big as it's made out to be.The wrestlers chosen to be on the roster could have been a lot better with the point of one ecw wrestler in the whole list, just one where are the rest of the ecw greats like justin creadible and raven just to name two.2k showcase hmmmmm, it should have been a lot better than what it was more showcase wrestlers to pick from would have been great but am guessing after you pay your nearly £50 to start with then 2k will put more showcase story's up that you have to buy at ridicules prices like last year and the year before, it's a virtual mugging and they know it.The total game play graphics wise is really small compared to last year's not a lot has moved on from last year's, the pin kick out meter set up tho is something they have managed to mess up and made even harder along with the submission meter.The tag team APA is mentioned loads of times by the ring announcers so why are they not in the game as a tag team option? reason is cos they will probs be another purchase after game sale. I feel that the wwe 2k has become more of a after purchase money maker and all the game ideas are now pointed towards that instead of just putting your efforts into the actual game you have paid for in the first place. I would stand by my review for last year's game release as it's exactly the same feeling I have for this year's game, if it's your first wwe game then this is an ok purchase for you not great but just ok, since 2k15 the game has gone into reversand if it dose not inprimprove in next year's game then i for one will not be handing my money over for it and to be honest am thinking along the lines of questioning myself about why did I buy this year's.
