While 2K Games have not talked much about the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of WWE 2K15, several gamers were able to score a copy of the videogame early. A forum user at 2K Forums was able to compile a list of information found so far.
Firstly, it seems like the gameplay for the last-gen releases remained the same as WWE 2K14. WWE 2K15 won’t have new systems for breaking point submissions, chain grappling, crawling pin, finishers, rope crawling, signatures, stamina, victory scenes and wake up taunting. The strike speed was also described as being the same as last year.
Some features were removed from 2K15 as well. Create a finisher, create a special move, custom music, replays via the pause menu and story designer are no longer there. Chris Jericho’s tattoo got erased too, apparently due to a copyright lawsuit from last year’s game.
Last but not least is the ratings for some of the playable characters. There are a few curious decisions such as Brie Bella and Nikki Bella ranking above AJ Lee, who dominated the Diva’s division over the past year. Take a look at the partial list of roster ratings below.
