WWE 2K15 Last Gen Info
Gameplay:
_Exactly the same gameplay as WWE 2K14, no new stamina system, no new finishers and signatures system, still the same Wake Up taunt system without the new Wake Up + Finisher combo, still same 2K14 Breaking Point submission system and display, still the same Strike speed of 2K14, no Chain Grappling system, no crawling to the ropes to get up, no crawling Pin, no new victory scenes system. Basically the game is WWE 2K14 with a different roster.
_Replays on the Pause Menu have been removed (on both gens)
Universe:
_Story Challenger: You have to complete objetives (play X rivalries, win X matches) and unlocks new stories
_Rivalry system: Still 3 rivalries per brand. You now can choose what stories do you want to play when setting up a rivalry, there are special stories to be unlocked playing rivalries
_Special Stories: You can activate or deactivate the option to auto Royal Rumble Winner story and Undertaker at WM story
_You can still CPU vs CPU matches
_Still 5 to 7 matches per show
Story Designer:
_Has been removed
Create a Finisher/Special Move:
_Has been removed
Exhibition and match types:
_Same as last year
_Casket Match and 3 Stages of Hell are Showcase matches only
_You can still do CPU vs CPU matches
_You can still select the match pace (Quick, Normal or Epic) and you seem to be able to actually change during the course of the match pressing start or something like that
_You can still choose to have 1, 2, 3 or infinite finishers
Default Champions:
_Brock Lesnar as WWE World Heavyweight Champion
_Dolph Ziggler as Intercontinental Champion
_The Usos as Tag Team Champions
_AJ as Divas Champion
He hasn´t said anything about the USA Championship, although I guess it is Sheamus as default champion. Same goes for the NXT Championship, he hasn´t unlocked them for the moment (although he has played some matches of Who Got NXT) but probably we have Adrian Neville as default NXT Champion going by the images and vids we have seen about him (and by the fact he currently is and has been for months the NXT Champion)
Create an Stable:
_Seems like last year
_No adding managers to Stables
Default Stables:
_Evolution (don´t detail if it´s old Evolution of current Evolution, although we can create both so who cares)
_Cameron & Naomi
_Brie & Nikki
_Cody & Goldust (according to the user as "the brotherhood", they have their Tag Smoke and Mirrors + Goldust theme mix)
_Usos (Default Tag champs)
_Woods & R-Truth
I guess the Wyatt Family and The Shield are default stables too but the guy doesn´t mention them. Seeing how he is basically rushing to answer as much questions as he can probably he has overlooked them
CAWs:
_Apparently no improvements or new stuff, same as WWE 2K14
_100 CAW slots
Superstar Heads:
_Alberto Del Rio
_Batista
_Brock Lesnar
_Cesaro
_Chris Jericho
_CM Punk (last year)
_CM Punk retro (don´t detail who, maybe he talks about last year DLC long haired CM Punk?)
_Damien Sandow
_Daniel Bryan (Short hair and beard, same as WWE 2K14 in disc Bryan Superstar Head)
_Dolph Ziggler
_Kane (bald unmasked)
_John Cena
_The Miz
_Paul Heyman
_Randy Orton
_The Rock
_Ryback ("old Ryback" I really hope he doesn´t mean WWE 13 Ryback who was WWE 2K14 DLC Ryback SSH)
_Shawn Michaels
_Sheamus
_Stone Cold
_Triple H current
_Triple H retro
_Undertaker (last year)
_Undertaker (retro)
Vid Showing the mode:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWFtg118oWw
He says Roddy Piper, Goldberg and Mankind are not there this year. Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins don´t seem to be in Superstar Heads on last gen neither, but I bet they are on next gen.
2K Music Jukebox:
_NO entrance themes in the Jukebox, only the 15 licensed sountracks of the game (which is a great soundtrack anyways)
Divas:
_The same divas who are announced already, no new divas. Cameron and Naomi have their Funkadactyls attire and gimmick and going by the default stables is safe to assume Brie and Nikki both have their Face persona so no new theme for Brie.
_Yes, NXT Womens Title is in the game, although we already know it after the Who´s Got NXT reveal by 2K yesterday.
_Attires, I will copy and paste his words:
Brie has red top and red shorts with knee high covers with ruffles on the back
Cameron has silvery black top bottom and thigh high boots naomi has matching attire so they are tag team
Tamina has black outfit
Summer rae has 2k14 attire
Natayla has black attire with pink and white hearts on the boobs black pants with hearts and same white boots
Nikki has all cap red top black shorts socks and white and red shoes
There models look good
New Moves:
_New Kick Combo signature for Daniel Bryan
_New Corner Spear for Roman Reings (his running Spear is the same)
_Superman Punch
_Attitude Adjustmen with Pin combo
_Naomi´s Rear View (running finisher, no Pin option)
NO New Moves:
_NO new Corner Sweet Chin Music
Overalls:
_HBK: 95
_Sheamus: 93
_The Rock: 91
_Stone Cold: 90
_Daniel Bryan 2012: 90
_Randy Orton: 90
_Roman Reigns: 89
_Seth Rollins: 89
_Samy Zayn: 86
_Jey Uso: 85
_Jimmy Uso: 85
_Bad News Barret: 84
_The Miz: 84
_Rey Mysterio: 84
_R-Truth: 84
_Ryback 84
_Titus O´Neil: 83
_Xavier Woods: 83
_Darren Young: 81
Divas Overall:
_Brie Bella: 83
_Nikki Bella: 83
_AJ: 82
_Natalya: 82
_Tamina Snuka: 81
_Naomi: 76
_Cameron: 75
_Summer Rae: 73
Other stuff:
_Shield members have only their Shield attires and entrances, no alt attires for Dean and Seth.
_Jericho had some of his copyrighted tatoos removed due to a lawsuit about it´s usage on 2K14
_The WWE World Heavyweight Championship is the WWE Championship debuted by The Rock with the old logo (see the Lesnar vs Batista vs Ryback vid in Brian12Extreme channel)
_Create a titantron (which was removed on 2K14) still is not in the game
_The game features a licensed soundtrack, we already know the full list (was posted some weeks ago) but I repeat it because probably there are people who still don´t know it
_You can still adjust the match pace (Quick, Normal or Epic)
_Current Batista´s default attire is Redtista LOL xD
_ All PRESET ENTRANCES for Superstars not in the game have been removed
_CUSTOM MUSIC REMOVED on last gen
_This Fire Burns is in the game, but NO Nexus leader titantron for Punk, he has a previous titantron (and without minitrons) as his MITB 2011 entrance vid and as his returning titantron after the Cena vs Mysterio match, which is not accurate (the first should be his Nexus leader titantron, the second his Cult of Personality titantron)
_NO Corporate Kane, although Bald Kane is a Superstar Head so we can create him
_Triple H has King of Kings as his default theme, his The Game theme is in the game too
_Xavier Woods has Brodus Clay & Funkadactyls theme (it was his first theme when he debuted), not his new theme.
_Roman Reigns has Shield theme with intro, not his single theme without the SHIELD intro. By the way his character model looks better than 2K14
_Curtis Axel character model is AWFUL
Going by what was said by BazMcMahon on his youtube vid I bet the PS4 Dean Ambrose shown in the promotional HiaC vid was a Superstar Head, which would mean next gen gets more Superstar Heads (maybe even the full roster)
WWE 2K15 Xbox 360 and PS3 Who Got NXT Exclusive Story mode Details Review (with Screenshots)
Who Got NXT focuses on five NXT Superstars – Sami Zayn, Adrian Neville, Rusev, Corey Graves and Bo Dallas. I know Rusev and Bo Dallas are no longer on NXT, but they were during development of the mode. Each of the five NXT Superstars is assigned his own chapter consisting of four matches that players will need to complete in sequential order. The gameplay experience within each chapter is similar to 2K Showcase in that players are tasked with completing a number of optional objectives – three at the most – and a required match stipulation. The only way to advance to the next match is to complete the match stipulation. In most cases, the match stipulation states you must defeat your opponent via pinfall or submission, but on occasion, you’ll be asked to do something that deviates from the norm. While objectives are optional and won’t impede your advancement to the next match, it really is in your best interest to complete them unless you have no interest in receiving a plethora of NXT-related unlockables. I’ll delve more into those in a bit. Once you’ve successfully completed all four matches within a chapter you’ll unlock the featured NXT Superstar. All five chapters can be played concurrently, but as previously stated, the matches therein must be played in sequential order. You can also replay any match you’ve previously completed in the off chance you failed to complete an objective or if you’d simply like to play it again.
The matches in Who Got NXT aren’t direct recreations of real NXT matches. The matches in Who Got NXT are certainly inspired by matches held on NXT programming, but it wasn’t our intent to authentically recreate them as they actually occurred. Also, there is no interconnected narrative from one match to the next in these chapters. Each match is its own self-contained story, but we rely strictly on commentary to communicate said story. Commentary, specifically written for the mode, appears during each NXT Superstar’s entrance, victory scenes and of course, gameplay. The narrative of each match is communicated by the commentators during the entrance scenes, establishing why the match is taking place, and the narrative is reinforced during gameplay via back and forth play-by-play between commentators. Though matches aren’t connected to one another from a narrative standpoint, the chapters themselves definitely have their own overarching themes. The complete and utter destruction of one’s opponent is exemplified in Rusev’s chapter, and the objectives have been designed to support this theme. I’ll just say by the time you’ve completed Rusev’s chapter, you’ll be quite proficient at executing his Accolade finisher. Adrian Neville’s chapter revolves around his quest for the NXT Championship. Sami Zayn’s chapter is typified by his resiliency and fighting spirit (naturally, we had to pit Zayn against Cesaro). The Graves chapter asks the question, “Who is Corey Graves?” What’s he all about? What are his motivations? Bo Dallas’ chapter, which turned out to be one of my favorites (as I Bolieve), is characterized by his unrelenting desire to hold onto his NXT Championship at any cost. You’ll be ramming opponents into exposed turnbuckles, intentionally getting yourself (Bo) disqualified (it’s more fun than it sounds, trust me) and a number of other dirty tactics to maintain Bo’s grip on his beloved NXT Championship.
After unlocking all five NXT Superstars, there’s still gameplay to be had in Who Got NXT. After clearing all chapters, you’ll be able to participate in the new Proving Ground match! The Proving Ground is the spiritual successor to WWE 2K14’s Defeat the Streak. Whereas in Defeat the Streak, players were tasked with ending Undertaker’s WrestleMania winning streak (we all know how that turned out), in the Proving Ground match you’ll be facing off against the face of WWE and the face of WWE 2K15, John Cena! Like Defeat the Streak, John Cena will be controlled by the AI and will be very tough to defeat. When you enter the Proving Ground match for the first time, you’ll be shown a snippet of footage from the April 4, 2014 episode of SmackDown, wherein John Cena delivers an in-ring promo. The promo properly sets the stage for your encounter with Cena, as he essentially calls out the entire roster – and in particular – the new faces on the roster. The transcript of his promo is below:
“The future is now! It is an exciting time to be in the WWE, as there are so many promising Superstars. So let me make a promise of my own. I am not The One. I am not the Viper. I am not the King of Swing. I am not the Boss! I am the measuring stick. I am the standard bearer. I am John … Cena! Any WWE Superstar can talk all they want, but past, present or future, they do know if they want their feet planted firmly on the top of the WWE mountain, well, they better go through me to do it!”
Following Cena’s incendiary promo, you’ll be transitioned to the Superstar select screen. Initially, you’ll only be able to select one of the five NXT Superstars to go against Cena. However, you will be able to unlock the entire roster (including created Superstars) if you defeat Cena using all five NXT Superstars. The match itself is a traditional, 1-on-1 match with a 30 minute time limit. The Proving Ground match also contains mode-specific commentary that can be heard during the entrance scenes, gameplay and victory scene. Like Defeat the Streak, you’re provided a score at the end of your match, and should you manage to beat Cena, you’ll be able to upload your score to the Proving Ground online leaderboard. Here’s a tip: if you force Cena to submit, you’ll score a huge win bonus!
Now that I’ve explained how to unlock the NXT Superstars (complete their respective chapters) and the Proving Ground match (complete all five chapters), so you’re probably wondering about those other NXT related unlockables I made mention of earlier. All you have to do is complete all of the objectives within each of the five chapters - it’s as easy as that! As a reward for doing so, you’ll receive the following:
- NXT Arena
- NXT ArRIVAL Arena (only available on current-gen!)
- NXT Championship
- NXT Tag Team Championship
- NXT Women’s Championship

Today, it appears that the game has gone live on the PS4 store and is available to pre-order as a "Digital Deluxe" edition. The Digital Deluxe edition is retailing for $80 and will include the following content

WWE 2K15 Season Pass Announcement
A GameStop listing for the season pass has been discovered, though the lack of an official announcement would indicate its existence was not intended to be revealed yet. As a result, the page doesn't contain any specifics on what the DLC will consist of. The only detail is that, by buying the season pass, you'll receive access to an "exclusive character," Paige.
There are any number of possibilities for what wrestlers could be added. Sting and Hulk Hogan (in his Hollywood/NWO garb) are each available as bonuses for preordering and buying the collector's edition, respectively; it's possible they'll also be sold as DLC.
