Many also appreciate the improved career mode and the game's increased realism, although some find the controls challenging and the submission system difficult to master. A few players also mentioned issues with bugs and loading times. Overall, the positive feedback on gameplay and roster outweighs the negative comments on specific mechanics.

    This game has brought back a lot of the customization the last installment lacked. The ability to add your own pictures, icons, etc has become even easier through the wwe2k website. The universe and career modes have added features to make the process feel less like work. The game is difficult at first though with practice it becomes more accessible.

    For those who are familiar with WWE 2K15, you know that it wasn't all it should have been. Many different modes were missing, a very slimmed down creation suite, etc plagued the game, making it sub-par. WWE 2k16 does a great job to right those wrongs and giving us the next generation wrestling game all of the WWE Universe deserves!

    WWE2K16 is a much better improvement over WWE2K15. The mechanics and reversal system have gotten a much needed upgrade so there aren't matches of constant reversing. There's a huge roster and the 2k showcase featuring Stone Cold Steve Austin is a fun time.

    This game will provide endless hours of addictive gameplay with a roster of over 120 wrestlers and another 100 spots for created wrestlers. A little disappointing that create a story mode is not back in. I also would think with new gen tech that they could figure out how to get more than 6 people in the ring at once.

    This game is everything a fan could ask for! It has so many great features, that were previously featured in the older games. You are really involved as a gamer and you have the opportunity to create your own superstar and take them on a tour starting from NXT and having the chance to be inducted into the Hall of Fame!

    This game is definitely an upgrade from last years version. A lot of game modes are in the game that weren't there last year. The graphics are good, but the gameplay is still a little rough. It is not terrible in my opinion, but I could see why other people would not like it.

    Wwe 2k16

    If you bought wwe 2k16 and are new to the series, chances are you wont like it. There are a lot of gameplay mechanics to get use to and timing takes w but of getting use to as well. What I mean by timing is that you have to recognize animations and when to reverse a grapple or strike, know when to grapple or strike and things like that. If you are familiar with the series then this game is recommended. The fact that your reversals are limited and that you have a stamina bar, really makes thing more strategic and set at a well pace. The only drawback is the submission mechanic. I really don't like it at all. It's kind of like a duck duck goose type of mini game, where the blue bar must chase the red bar in a circle and when it eclipses the opposite bar you either tap out or get out of the hold. It's just not fun at all. Other than that, I'm enjoying it very much but buyer beware, I only recommend it to gamers experienced with the series.

    This is the game that WWE 2K15 should have been. Tons of improvements to the career mode, creation suite, etc. It is still not as good as some of the older versions, but they are making improvements every year.

    This is a great wrestling game. This was purchased for my oldest son as a Christmas present. The graphics are wonderful and is even fine to some people who are older like myself. I enjoyed seeing some of the old wrestlers from when I was a kid.

    This is easily one of the best wrestling games I've ever played. Not only is it's playability great but it looks so real you'd swear you're watching actual wrestling on TV. Plus the fact that you get to use a lot of all-time stars. I'd give it more than two thumbs up unfortunately I only have two.

    I haven't purchased a wrestling game since the good ol days of N64 and I must say that this one has been a good time so far. With a huge superstar roster I can't really complain... Other than the slow loading times its been a blast to play with friends.

    This game is so much fun. Building your superstar is repetitive, but what RPG is not? I like how they incorporate rivalries. I think they could use a mode for the more casual gamer to build up your superstar. I know you can pay a little, but even then, there is way too much grinding.

    This year's game is a fantastic step forward. Game looks and plays great. 2k is definitely taking steps forward. Online matches are a disappointment. Not being able to choose your AI characters in a private match or ranked is a huge negative.

    Largest roster for a WWE game, a fantastic grappling system, and a new limiting reversal system give the WWE franchise a great step forward. Showcase mode is true to life and fun to do while Mycareer is much more robust than previous year's.

    Last year's WWE game was horrible and the past several years these games have been stale but 2k finally got this game right. This is the best wrestling game in years and I would definitely recommend this to any wrestling fan who has been disappointed in the past.
