The game is based on t he professional wrest ling promot ion WWE and WWE 2K15 serves as t he
first game in t he series to signify t he "new generat ion", placing a heavy emphasis on t radit ional
and more relaxed gameplay, unlike t he arcade-like combat prominent in previous inst allment s. It
also adds several new feat ures to complement t he main t heme based around nat uralism, adding
a new chain grapple syst em at t he beginning of mat ches, slowing t he pacing of t he mat ches and
adding a new st amina bar to reflect and port ray t he qualit y of mat ches produced on WWE
t elevision.

Gameplay

WWE 2K15 signifies as t he st art of a "new generat ion", which focuses on t urning t he franchise
into a t rue wrest ling game rat her t han "a fight ing game wit h WWE Superst ars in it ." The new chain
wrest ling mini-game has been implement ed (exclusive to current generat ion consoles and PC
only) to make mat ches play out more realist ically. Pressing t he grapple but ton at t he beginning
of t he mat ch will init iat e a collar-and-elbow t ie up. At t he beginning of t he t ie up, each opponent
will press one of t hree face but tons to place t heir opponent into a side headlock, a wrist lock or
a waist lock wit h a rock-paper-scissors st yle out come. (Headlock beat s Wrist lock, Wrist lock
beat s Waist lock, Waist lock beat s Headlock.) Whomever wins will place t heir opponent in t he
corresponding hold, while bot h players rot at e t he right analog st ick (space + movement keys on
PC) to find a "sweet spot ". If t he at t acker finds it first , t hey'll perform a move, if t he defender
finds it first , t hey'll gain t he upper hand. Addit ionally, t he at t acking wrest ler can st rike or wrench
t he opponent 's limb, making it harder for t hem to find t he sweet spot . This mini-game only
happens 2-3 t imes during t he mat ch and can be t urned off via t he opt ions menu. St rikes have
ret urned to t heir normal speed, wit h t he improved collision and selling animat ions from t he
opponent . Unlike in previous games, superst ars will not st and up immediat ely, aft er t aking a bump
or slam.

This game also int roduces t he t hree-t ier st amina met er, which cont rols t he pace of a mat ch.
Through each move t he player performs, especially st riking and running, will drain t he st amina
met er. During t he first t ier, t he wrest ler will be full of energy and perform moves easily. During
t he second t ier, t he wrest ler will begin to slow down. In t he t hird t ier, t he wrest ler will be
complet ely exhaust ed, even being unable to perform t heir finishing moves should it drop too low.
The st amina met er can also be t urned off or adjust ed to drain more slowly, and will slowly
regenerat e as long as a met er is not deplet ed. The game's submission syst em has been
revamped. The "Breaking Point " gauge has been replaced wit h a t wo part circular gauge. The
mechanic of t he syst em remains most ly t he same, but players only have to mash a single but ton
rat her t han all four. Wake-up t aunt finishers are now known as "Charged Finishers" which combines
t he t aunt & finisher into a single animat ion by pressing and holding t he finisher but ton when t he
opponent is grounded and t hen releasing it when t hey're on t heir feet (whereas on PC, holding
t he key is not necessary). Signat ure moves can now be stored as well. Cat ch and Cat apult
finishers have also ret urned. Bot h fight ing st yles and skill set s have been brought in to ensure
t hat t he charact ers behave more like t heir real-life count erpart s. For example, high flyers like Rey
Myst erio will not do power moves and will focus on diving and springboard moves while giant s
like Big Show cannot climb t he t urnbuckle and will focus on power moves. Superst ars who
cannot climb to t he top rope can climb to t he second rope and deliver moves such as Bret Hart 's
elbow drop or Big Show's slingshot body splash.

Gameplay on t he PlaySt at ion 3 and Xbox 360 versions remains largely t he same blueprint as
previous ent ries in t he series. However, new rost ers, new arenas, new championship t it les and
new cont ent s have been int roduced.

Story modes
2K Showcase

On August 4, 2014, IGN revealed t hat t he game will feat ure a historical mode, which focuses on
past WWE rivalries.[4] Called t he "2K Showcase", t he story mode is similar to WWE 2K14's 30

"Hust le, Loyalt y, Disrespect " is bet ween John Cena and CM Punk from 2011 to 2013. The rivalry

and lat er when he claimed he did not earn t he respect he deserved. The rivalry ends wit h CM
Punk's defeat by John Cena at Raw.

The second rivalry "Best Friends, Bit t er Enemies" chronicles t he feud bet ween Triple H, Shawn
Michaels and t he wrest ling st able Evolut ion. The showcase begins at SummerSlam (2002) and
covers various mat ches from Raw and PPV's ending wit h Triple H defeat ing Shawn Michaels at
Bad Blood 2004 in a Hell in a Cell mat ch.

WWE 2K15 received "mixed or average" reviews across all plat forms, according to review
aggregator websit e Met acrit ic.[29][30][31][32][33]

PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360

IGN gave t he PlaySt at ion 3 and Xbox 360 versions a 5.9 out of 10, saying: "WWE 2K15 is like
seeing Brock Lesnar going from breaking The Undert aker's st reak to losing to Hornswoggle
during t he pre-show in back-to-back Wrest leManias. Not only is it surprising, it 's also pret t y sad. I
would frequent ly grab my copy of last year's grappler wit h t he int ent to quickly check some
changes, only to find myself reluct ant to swit ch back due to t he far bet t er rost er and single-
player experience. Do yourself a favor, save your money, and buy WWE 2K14. The minor
improvement s to combat and comment ary in 2K15 don't even come close to making up for what
was lost ."[40] Game Informer gave t he game a 7 out of 10, st at ing "This version of WWE 2K15
works if you're not planning on buying a new-gen console anyt ime soon... Custom creators, on t he
ot her hand, might as well cont inue to build up t heir creat ions on 2K14.[35]

PlayStation 4 and Xbox One

IGN gave t he PlaySt at ion 4 and Xbox One versions a 7 out of 10, st at ing "WWE 2K15 on
PlaySt at ion 4 and Xbox One doesn't quit e meet t he expect at ions set by previous ent ries in t he
series. While t he wrest lers look amazing and t he combat feels significant ly bet t er, "MyCareer"
mode is an absolut e slog and everyt hing else has been done bet t er in previous years. Bet ween
t he narrower historical mode, t he shut t ered creat ion suit es, and t he deart h of combat opt ions
for bigger groups, WWE 2K15 has lost some of t he tools t hat brought previous ent ries to t he
main event ."[39] Eurogamer gave t he game a 3 out of 10, st at ing "WWE 2K15 is a kick in t he t eet h.
Graphically assured as it is, almost every ot her element of t he 15-year-old series has been cut
back, t ampered wit h point lessly or out right ruined. The series hasn't been good for a long t ime
now, but t his year is t he first it 's been act ively bad. The wait for a great new WWE game
cont inues."[34] Hardcore Gamer gave t he game a 3/5, saying "some players may pine for t he older
days of t his franchise, where gameplay was frenet ic and fast -measured. WWE 2K15 st eps away
from t hat met hodology, and in t urn delivers a much more deliberat ely-paced game, and one t hat
is more int ent on providing an aut hent ic, one-to-one recreat ion of t he drama t hat goes down in
t he squared circle."[43]

Microsoft Windows

PC Gamer gave t he Microsoft Windows version of t he game a 67 out of 100, calling t he game "a
capable at t empt to recapt ure t he magic of WWE, let down by t he decision not to updat e any
single element of t he console versions."[41] Rock, Paper, Shotgun st at ed "It 's a disappoint ing
game," adding "WWE 2K15 is a lot like t he WWE it self – burying it s female performers,
mishandling it s rost er, screwing up it s own booking and failing to est ablish charact ers".[44]
GameWat cher gave t he game a 7.5 out of 10, st at ing "unlike t he game's release on consoles, t he
presence of mod support means t hat WWE 2K15 will act ively evolve over t ime on PC. Unt il t he
mod communit y flourishes however and assuming t he game's rough edges prove tolerable, WWE
2K15 remains an enjoyable wrest ling yarn t he likes of which PC players haven't been graced wit h
in, well, forever. Maybe not t he best t here was or t he best t here is and cert ainly not t he best
t here ever will be t hen, but it 's a good st art all t he same and aft er all, legends have been
fashioned from less."[42]

Mobile versions

Pocket Gamer gave t he mobile version a 7 out of 10, comment ing t hat it is "a pret t y solid
experience, and it flourishes t he deeper you get into it ", while crit icizing t he price of t he game.[45]
Gamezebo rat ed it 3.5 out of 5 st ars, praising t he graphics, mult iplayer and cont rols but
lament ing t he overall lack of cont ent .[46] Technology Tell gave t he album a "D" rat ing, calling it "a
lazy, unresponsive, and complet ely shallow experience"[47] 148 Apps gave a 4 out of 5 st ars
rat ing and called t he game "surprisingly complex".[48] Game Informer st at ed t he game is "a bare-
bones, yet mechanically funct ional mobile t it le" and said it laid down a good groundwork for t he
next game.[49]
Sales

In December 2014, it was announced t hat WWE 2K15 had out performed WWE '13 and WWE
