Last years version was a chore to play where most of your time was spent deciding if you wanted to have a tune up match or a dark match. Almost every match I have had in WWE 2K16 so far has, for the most part, been able to almost capture the feel of an actual WWE wrestling match.Ĭareer mode also returns and has gotten a huge overhaul compared to last year. This can also be used to stall the match and give yourself enough time to recover some reversal stocks. Locking your opponent into a working hold allows you to regain your stamina while draining your opponents. In game, these holds are used for almost the same reason with fantastic results. Of course this is used so they can get a breather or communicate to each other. In real wrestling matches, wrestlers will often lock their opponents into a headlock or other hold and stall the match. My favorite new addition this year are the new working holds. While it may sound annoying, and at times it can be, what this also does is allows the match to go back and forth like a real wrestling match. If you keep reversing everything and run out, the CPU is going to have a field day with you and you won't be able to do anything until they refill. This changes up matches significantly as you have to be very careful of when and where to use your reversals. This year your wrestler has a stock of reversals that can be used overtime, but once they are gone, you have to wait for them to slowly refill. In games past, matches between you and the CPU or even other players pretty much revolved around a endless stream of reversals.
The biggest additions to gameplay this year are the new resting holds and the new reversal system. This year those same mechanics return but many additions and changes have been made to make matches in WWE 2K16 incredibly fun and addicting to play. Last year, 2K decided to make big changes to the series by going from a fast, somewhat arcadey game, to a slower wrestling simulator. Thankfully, a lot of these features return in WWE 2K16 and with all of the other additions, this is one of the best WWE games in years. Even worse is that a lot of these features were the creation features where I spend most of my time. I gave 2K credit for what they did accomplish and I understand it's tough when you are making a yearly franchise, but at the same time, the game was a massive disappointment with tons of missing features that have been in the game for years. Last year marked the first year when a WWE game made its way to "next" gen consoles and to say the least, it wasn't a good first impression.
