I like the idea of limited reversals. Makes it more realistic. In real life someone is not going to reverse a lot of moves when they are weak and losing stamina. Makes more sense for the pace and flow of the match. Reversing moves into other moves is good. I said it for a while about the weird reversals in the older games too
Tale of the Tiger Not even that, they just need to put back in player matches instead of private and ranked, and you can't even invite players unless it's a private.
I really want to say that create a show is create a story mode. It sounds identical and people did create episodes with the mode. Either way whatever this mod is it better be just like or very identical to story designer
Personally I feel that the limiting of reversals is a bad thing to do,especially if it regenerates.What is stopping a person from sliding out of the ring and waiting for their reversals to come back?A ten count?Slide back in at nine then slide back out and God help you if there is no count outs. Why not just base reversal timing on your superstars health status?If your guy is in the green then only simple moves can be done,like clothes lines,arm drags,drop toe holds,etc.if the opponent tries to do a power bomb a DVD or something more damaging then it will be super easy to reverse.Then as you accumulate more damage it will be harder to reverse moves.
***** In Career mode they should add on how you got in wwe like you 1 won tough enough or won diva search or you were in the indies hats how you got in wwe they should add that.
So if you have a limited number of reversals that slowly regenerate, it might push you to wait for the right moment during the move like in wwe all stars.
The pin bar looks very similar to SVR 2011 but that breaking point looked a little confusing. I'm having mixed feelings about the reversals but it seems like it's a step in the right direction
Online was 'overhauled' last year, going from lobbies and picking your characters on the direct match screen to the waiting game of getting put into a randomized match and with random people, and with pre-selected match favorites and characters. It was such a downgrade from 2k14. Hopefully lobbies are back in.
My top concerns and what I want: MyCareer Mode - It was good that they had this last year and that we got 2 play a season mode of some sorts in recent years, but I actually want more choices and cool that I won the WHC Title early, but I actually wanna go up the ranks like NXT wrestlers then face the up comers on the roster, known names, Upper Card, then Main Event. All I got last year was Performance Center, NXT, facing Rusev in my 1st match on the Main Roster, then then random matches. winning the WHC Title, and losing it after 10 successful defenses, following Vickie's demand clearly, completing them and still getting screwed over, facing that Barron Blade jackass a million times, BOOM! The End. I want a MyCareer that's a mix between "No Mercy" and "Here Comes The Pain" Building my wrestler, forming a tag team, faction, go after n e title before winning the big 1. Create Modes - Create a Diva last year was just templates, Entrance was not much options, and finisher wasn't available.
in the vid i saw doing the submissive move when he was near the rope it said "ropebreak circle" does this mean they have an animation where they actually reach out and grab the bottom rope if so thats great attention to detail.
This Is Really Awesome & Its Great Especially The Entrance The New Pin & Submission System The Three Man Commentary Team & The Manager & Referee A.I Which Is Awesome.
What's new and/or improved in universe? I'm a huge universe mode fan. Anything from my wishlist I post every year on the forums? Anyone know wwefanphilly21 from the 2K forums? That's me. 1. Keep Current Customization Options(Create a Show on any day, Create a PPV, things of that nature. 2. 2014-2015 WWE Intro and Pyro. Not sure if Smackdown has something similar to Raw's intro, but if it does, put it in. 3. Story Collection Improvements. I like story collection because it's actual storylines in universe mode. Just improve it with more stories or a better variety and maybe vignettes/promos. 4. Choose A Venue for any show(Wells Fargo Center, Staples Center, Thomas & Mack Center, American Bank Center. There doesn't have to be a different inside of the venue, but announce where I'm choosing the location to be at. 5. Recognize House Shows and Create them. 6. Universe Only Feature: Official 2K Updates. Hear me out. I want 2K to put in official updates here and there for attires, stats, arenas, results from real life raw, main event, smackdown, ppvs, house shows, etc. If you have a rivalry going on or story collection storyline, the update will not affect it. And it's optional. Maybe this can be saved for 2K17. 7. Create a Pre Show Match For A PPV 8. Create A Number 1 Contender Match 9. Cash in mitb anytime 10. More storylines, promos, choices, etc.
***** Wait, backstage interviews in Universe mode? No bullshit, that's in? Sorry if I sound a bit skeptical, but where'd you hear this from? I gotta know dude.
I hope the Career Mode actually has a story in it this time. And also hope they've improved the submission system, it has been bad for ages, such as when you get put in any kind of submission after the match has been going on for a while it was impossible to not tap out.
This isn't good news.......this is *GREAT NEWS!!!* Finally they are telling folks what will be in the game and have released entrance and gameplay videos early, so that those who are pre-ordering, *THIS TIME AROUND* will actually know for sure what they are actually paying for. Also, I am very happy with the addition of the Creation Modes in this years game. This is long awaited. But what about Custom Entrance Music? Will you be able to add your own music to the CAWS you create, or will you have to suffer for yet another year and use the wrestler themes available? I hope we can use our own music this year as there is now a way to do so.
Allister Cross I'm on PS4 and I know that the only way you can play music (outside of the console) is by having a USB flash drive with the songs on it since sony enabled Mp3 support earlier this year (or was it late last year). I personally prefer what they did with the PS3 which allowed you to put your own music on the system and create music playlists on the system itself. With the PS4, even though you have to use an external device in-order to hear the music, it's still something...and i'd rather something better than nothing at all. They should implement the usage of custom music this year. When 2k15 was in the works there was absolutely no way you could have gotten custom music in....but sony has made it possible and there is a way now...not the way we are used to but it's a way.
Venusstar22 Yes, but until the PS4 is able to actually save music on the system itself, I don't see custom music making a return anytime sonn. Still surprised WWE games have yet to do WWE related music as DLC. Just make a playlist on WWE Shop (categorized in eras or years, from every superstar) for $.99-2.99 on each song (or a bundle deal) and make that a priority for each WWE Shop on every game in the future. They'd make a killing. Or they could link WWE Shop with iTunes so you can download songs from iTunes for your CAW or whatever
From the videos from IGN we have Dean Ambrose, Kalisto and Sin Cara, Dolph Ziggler, Bret Hart and Kevin Owens all confirmed. I got this information from the t-shirts of the fans in the crowd. Im not to sure if there were any more superstars/divas confirmed from this.
If you look very closely at the crowd in Seth Rollins entrance I think there is a pathway for fighting in the crowd and I think it leads to the area next to the stage. Go see for your selfs and tell me if you think there is.
Does reversal limits mean reversals across an entire match or just finisher reversals? If it's across a whole match, idk if I'd like that because, doesn't that mean there are times where I'd literally have to sit there and let myself get hit and slammed or whatever because my reversals are low and i need to save them? Like i get that's technically how it is in a real match but, in a game, is that something you want? maybe online but, in exhibition? like...idk
***** yeah, thats exactly what I was thinking when I saw "Create A Show". Sounds like "Create A PPV" is making a return under a slightly different name..
I want to know that if you can import your created superstar from wwe 2k15 to wwe 2k16 since i scanned my face in wew 2k15 so I don't want to have to redo it again I want to import my wwe 2k15 superstar to wwe 2k16
The only thing is, the crowds suck during the entrances. They barely make a sound. No cheers, no boos, nothing. I'm hoping they get that sorted out before the game is released
***** I highly doubt it. The game comes out in 2 months and they have a lot of other stuff to focus on than just entrances. I hope you're right though because those crowd reactions need better
Jericho8131 my main issue with the crowd is that they don't look at the wrestler walking down the ramp, they completely blank them and focus on the ring
Hey, Smacktalks! I saw the entrances for Balor and Rollins, and I was a bit confused. I noticed a timer near the end of the entrance, and the top left that says "Break Out". Any idea what Break Out means, during an entrance?
Will there be much attitude era wrestling back? I had alot of fun on wwe 13 universe mode after I changed the titles arena etc to attitude era and set all non attitude era wrestlers as inactive
Sameer Naqvi it not be a lot of attitude era wrestler they need some RA 2k showcase and RA wrestler why they scsa 2k showcase they got wwe13 so they need to do RA 2k showcase they got a lot of I like in RA era
***** Did you notice the SAWFT t-shirt in one of the vids on IGN? Also I'm glad we have Lillian back instead of Justin Roberts over and over again! :) Also On wwe.2k.com Wade is now King Barret.
***** I'm looking forward to this years game, It would be a great idea to do a t-shirts hidden in the crowd etc. video! Thanks for your reply anyway! :)
They are moving into a great direction with this game. I'm loving it. Create a championship is back 😁
In the gameplay video, there was people in the crowd wearing Kevin Owens, Lucha Dragons and SAWFT shirts, so I guess they're all confirmed.
Yup saw them too and i saw stardust t shirts and goldust
Sorry what is sawft short for?
LightArc1 its not short for anything, it is the catchphrase of nxt superstars/diva - enzo amore/colin cassidy/carmella
I like the idea of limited reversals. Makes it more realistic. In real life someone is not going to reverse a lot of moves when they are weak and losing stamina. Makes more sense for the pace and flow of the match. Reversing moves into other moves is good. I said it for a while about the weird reversals in the older games too
Lillian Garcia has also replaced Justin Roberts as this year's ring announcer!
no she hasn't, it was eden.
***** i coulda sworn i heard eden... oh well
It's Lillian. Her and Eden's voices are completely different.
Brandon Kardashian obviously not if i couldn't tell
Brandon Kardashian edens the black chick thats Fucking Cody Rhodes right?
It's about time they re-added the attacking during entrances. I loved doing that in WWF RAW & WWE RAW 2
They need to bring custom music back
We can all hope online being "overhauled" means you don't have to wait 6 hours to start a match when using DLC.
Now you only have to wait 3 hours!
PyroWEF Hope they just go back to '12s layout. I have no clue why they fucked with it.
Tale of the Tiger Not even that, they just need to put back in player matches instead of private and ranked, and you can't even invite players unless it's a private.
Wade is now listed as King Barrett on the website.
Attack people during entrance that's awesome hopefully we can go in crowd
A set amount of reversals? Damn.
No more Legend difficulty for me I guess.
I really want to say that create a show is create a story mode. It sounds identical and people did create episodes with the mode. Either way whatever this mod is it better be just like or very identical to story designer
Personally I feel that the limiting of reversals is a bad thing to do,especially if it regenerates.What is stopping a person from sliding out of the ring and waiting for their reversals to come back?A ten count?Slide back in at nine then slide back out and God help you if there is no count outs.

i truly hope Replay/Highlight Reel is back.
They still haven't mentioned how many slots we have for create-a-superstar. That worries me, although it looks great.
This is looking so much more promising than last year's effort. To be honest wwe 2k15 has been collecting dust on my shelf since January!
Man looking forward to getting WWE2K16 now
Do u think there will be wwe diva career mode since it sounds like the diva roster is huge and now a create a diva ?
Heel Kick I hope so, surely they can't leave it out this year now theres a lot more divas included.
That be cool and finally there putting more divas in a wwe game
***** In Career mode they should add on how you got in wwe like you 1 won tough enough or won diva search or you were in the indies hats how you got in wwe they should add that.
Heel Kick Hmmm, that's actually a good idea.
But what do they mean with the reversal? Are they limited? You can reverse just a little bit times on a match?
attacking an opponent during their entrance? haven't seen that since Raw 2 on Xbox
I like that limited reversal change. It really will make the game a lot more realistic.
So if you have a limited number of reversals that slowly regenerate, it might push you to wait for the right moment during the move like in wwe all stars.
The pin bar looks very similar to SVR 2011 but that breaking point looked a little confusing. I'm having mixed feelings about the reversals but it seems like it's a step in the right direction
Get hyped
Don't
Not until we see more gameplay and features from the game later in late august/september.
Rokas Luksys STAY hyped
flyersluver4eva Graphics and game aspects don't matter in 2015, get over it.
al112v5 Sadly, dumbasses these days only care about those two things.
THIS GAME IS GONNA BE AWESOME
I can't wait!
I haven't been so excited for a WWE Game since WWE 13, I'm so pumped
I'm happy with these developments.
Online was 'overhauled' last year, going from lobbies and picking your characters on the direct match screen to the waiting game of getting put into a randomized match and with random people, and with pre-selected match favorites and characters. It was such a downgrade from 2k14. Hopefully lobbies are back in.
Yeah i won't buy it if the online is the same
Finally a new reversal system. Now I dont have to watch someone reverse getting hit in the head with steel steps after beating him up with a weapon.
My top concerns and what I want:
MyCareer Mode - It was good that they had this last year and that we got 2 play a season mode of some sorts in recent years, but I actually want more choices and cool that I won the WHC Title early, but I actually wanna go up the ranks like NXT wrestlers then face the up comers on the roster, known names, Upper Card, then Main Event.

7. Create a Pre Show Match For A PPV
8. Create A Number 1 Contender Match
9. Cash in mitb anytime
10. More storylines, promos, choices, etc.
QuadWrestlingFan22 I liked WWE 12 Universe mode and i would like to see entraces with MITB
***** Wait, backstage interviews in Universe mode? No bullshit, that's in? Sorry if I sound a bit skeptical, but where'd you hear this from? I gotta know dude.
***** That just sold me the game right there, thanks.
As soon as I saw create a diva I was on board, and I don't like the limited reversal thing, it seems really stupid.
I hope the Career Mode actually has a story in it this time. And also hope they've improved the submission system, it has been bad for ages, such as when you get put in any kind of submission after the match has been going on for a while it was impossible to not tap out.
True Contender it does, check IGN
True Contender There is a new submission system in the game. You can see it from the gameplay IGN has on it's channel.
That's good then. Just hope it's an improvement.
Oh my c'''': no loading screens between entrances?! It's going to feel like a real show!
It would be awesome if they not just appear on the stage.
Well we maybe next year...
Even in a 6 man match like Money In The Bank, there won't be loading times between entrances
I hope on the entrance side were allowed to bring in themes from ps system on the game
This isn't good news.......this is *GREAT NEWS!!!* Finally they are telling folks what will be in the game and have released entrance and gameplay videos early, so that those who are pre-ordering, *THIS TIME AROUND* will actually know for sure what they are actually paying for.

Will you be able to add your own music to the CAWS you create, or will you have to suffer for yet another year and use the wrestler themes available? I hope we can use our own music this year as there is now a way to do so.
Until the PS4 and Xbox One support music playlists I do not bo-lieve we will be seeing that this year
Allister Cross I'm on PS4 and I know that the only way you can play music (outside of the console) is by having a USB flash drive with the songs on it since sony enabled Mp3 support earlier this year (or was it late last year).

They'd make a killing. Or they could link WWE Shop with iTunes so you can download songs from iTunes for your CAW or whatever
This game is looking pretty good so far. It has everything I wanted from 2k15. Let's hope it's really as good as it sounds.
From the videos from IGN we have Dean Ambrose, Kalisto and Sin Cara, Dolph Ziggler, Bret Hart and Kevin Owens all confirmed. I got this information from the t-shirts of the fans in the crowd. Im not to sure if there were any more superstars/divas confirmed from this.
Stardust and Enzo & Cass too.
Bret Hart's confirmed cause Jim neidhart's confirmed & pretty sure Hart will be in the Austin showcase
Pete McArdle I see a Baron Corbin shirt too
Pete McArdle you do 2k14 ahd hackasaw shrit but he was not in game so shrits don't cont
If you look very closely at the crowd in Seth Rollins entrance I think there is a pathway for fighting in the crowd and I think it leads to the area next to the stage. Go see for your selfs and tell me if you think there is.
It's at the 5 second mark
Does reversal limits mean reversals across an entire match or just finisher reversals?

Glad all the stuff is back in they listed. Missed it other than create a championship honestly lol
We're missing create a finisher and the amount of caw slots
what create a show exactly means? does it mean the return of Create a story or does it mean a bran new universe mode kinda thing?
somaes60 i'm not entirely sure, it could be story related or maybe like the old create a ppv mode
***** is this 4 next gen and last gen
somaes60 I reckon it's like in WWE'13 you could create your own show in the universe with it's own logo, arena and roster.
***** yeah, thats exactly what I was thinking when I saw "Create A Show". Sounds "Create A PPV" is making a return under a slightly different name..
***** yeah, thats exactly what I was thinking when I saw "Create A Show". Sounds like "Create A PPV" is making a return under a slightly different name..
I hope they have more caw slots renders and create a story please
Balor's entrance looks amazing
They better bring back the old entrances and new custom music!!!
Very nice. Glad create a diva is back in, and the ladder and tornsdo tag matches. Should be a pretty good game.
Finally, thank you 2k more matches like tornado tag matches and i think they will put more kind of matches on fatal 4 way!!
That's dope asf! I guess I gotta preorder my copy now... Thanks 2K for my birthday present
I want to know that if you can import your created superstar from wwe 2k15 to wwe 2k16 since i scanned my face in wew 2k15 so I don't want to have to redo it again I want to import my wwe 2k15 superstar to wwe 2k16
The only thing is, the crowds suck during the entrances. They barely make a sound. No cheers, no boos, nothing. I'm hoping they get that sorted out before the game is released
This is just early build, which means they still need to add and fix stuff
***** I highly doubt it. The game comes out in 2 months and they have a lot of other stuff to focus on than just entrances. I hope you're right though because those crowd reactions need better
Jericho8131 he is right
Jericho8131 It's early footage. Just like last year.
Jericho8131 my main issue with the crowd is that they don't look at the wrestler walking down the ramp, they completely blank them and focus on the ring
reverse mid-move? WILL WE SEE FINISHER TO FINISHER REVERSALS THEN??
the game is looking more interesting week by week
I literally fanboy'd x100 when I saw this video
when you say " create a show " do you mean as in create a story like in 2k14 or create a show on universe mode.
No loading between entrances sounds like we won't be getting any 6-Man match types... :(
That looks so real!
I wonder if last gen will get any of these features
Hey Smacktalks do you think that for the Career mode we will be able to give a speech once we enter the Hall of Fame?
I am looking forword to the customization mode and wrestlemania 31 stage i hope 2k put a day mode and a night mode that would be awsome
in wwe 2k16 will they put a feature to upload songs and videos to a superstars entrance? that would be really interesting!!!
They really need to add gm mode and create a story
Will the changes be the same for the ps3/ Xbox version or just for next gen?
No create-a-finisher?
What about Create Story? unless it's now called Create a Show.
I hope they are bringing back the highlight reel editor
The sub system is from ufc 3
Any Information about custom music for caws?
I just hope in create a area has large logos like in wwe 13' honestly I hate the fact that both wwe2k14 & 15 had small logos
How do you know it don't come out. It comes. Out in October 26
I wonder if you can attack reigns during his entrance
is create a show, story designer?
there is a Baron Corbin shirt in Finn Balor's entrance
Yeah, WWE 2K16 will feature a lot of NXT superstars/divas
Can you please tell me if they have put the feature so i can use my own music for my entrance music because if not i will not buy it
Glad to hear about create mode
Hey, Smacktalks! I saw the entrances for Balor and Rollins, and I was a bit confused. I noticed a timer near the end of the entrance, and the top left that says "Break Out". Any idea what Break Out means, during an entrance?
Attack a Superstar during their entrance.
Thank u for uploading
Welcome back to "Not on last gen"
still no create a finisher :(
why no create a finisher yet :(;
I hope the game will not be shitty in xb360 and PS4 but of course it'll be wwe2k14 with larger roster
I wish they had create a finisher
No entrance cape for bad news Barrett
WHAT ABOUT THE IQUIT MATCH
I'm so glad Create An Arena is back.. 2K15 feels like a demo for this game To be honest.
What about special referee matches?
Loved that mode
can we play as a refrey like in 2k14?
I like the new reversals
Kevin Owens in the game
Will there be much attitude era wrestling back? I had alot of fun on wwe 13 universe mode after I changed the titles arena etc to attitude era and set all non attitude era wrestlers as inactive
They some RA Wrestler Fuck Attitude era
Cortez Mitchell fuck attitude era? Batista must be your favourite wrestler.
Ahhh no it HBK and plus batista is a good wrestler
Sameer Naqvi it not be a lot of attitude era wrestler they need some RA 2k showcase and RA wrestler why they scsa 2k showcase they got wwe13 so they need to do RA 2k showcase they got a lot of I like in RA era
Sameer Naqvi A lot of RA wrestler I like in RA era
no create a move?
***** The new reversal system sounds interesting. Disappointed that Story Designer doesn't seem to be coming back though!
The run Bálor does at the top of the ramp on his entrance makes me feel sick...
I can't wait. This game looks AWESOME!
Is it on last gen too?
Custom Music?
***** Did you notice the SAWFT t-shirt in one of the vids on IGN?
Also I'm glad we have Lillian back instead of Justin Roberts over and over again! :)
Also On wwe.2k.com Wade is now King Barret.
Julian Marciniak great spot Julian!
***** I'm looking forward to this years game, It would be a great idea to do a t-shirts hidden in the crowd etc. video! Thanks for your reply anyway! :)
Julian Marciniak you do know jsutin roebert was fie dby wwe that way he in 2k16
I hope they are in last gen too
