* Gameplay Improvements: WWE 2K16 will build upon last year’s
foundation, including key enhancements and innovations based on
critical and consumer feedback, to deliver the strongest WWE
gameplay experience to date:
* * Improved Controls: The controls and move library were
overhauled to cleanly separate strikes from grapples. This change
provides players with more control over the exact type of attacks
they want to initiate in every situation. WWE 2K16 also includes
new attack positions, such as seated, to increase options for how
players attack while experiencing greatly improved attacks
outside the ring near barricades. nents will now react more
accurately to their environment.
* New Reversal System: The reversal system has been reworked to
improve the overall flow of the match and also create a new level
of strategy during the matches. Each Superstar has a limited
number of reversals he or she can perform that recharge over
time, meaning players might not want to simply try and reverse
every attack. In addition, WWE 2K16 introduces Major and Minor
reversals for select moves. Minor reversals are easier to perform
and only require a single reversal stock. Major reversals are
more challenging to perform; however, they yield a much greater
reward than damage. Successful Major Reversals weaken the
nent in various ways and provide a new way to swing the
momentum of the match in one’s favor.
* New Pin System: The new pin system starts with an entirely new
pin mini-game and offers a variety of new pin variations and
reactions. If the nent kicks out, a Superstar may react to
the near pin fall and gesture to the referee in frustration. In
addition, WWE 2K16 introduces dirty pins and rope breaks. Dirty
pins allow players to use the ropes to their advantage to try and
pin their nents. There is a chance the referee may see this
and call off the pin attempt. Rope Breaks are another way to get
out of pin attempt but rely on the referee seeing the player grab
the ropes. In line with WWE live events and programming, there is
no guarantee what the referee is going to see during a match.
* Chain Wrestling: New positions and attributes allow players to
distinguish Superstars from one other. There can also be ties
during a lockup; during the tie, there can be a clean break from
the tie-up or a cheap from either the player or the
nent. Working Holds: Working holds are new for WWE 2K16 and
provide players with a way to regain stamina while depleting
their nents’ stamina. Just like on WWE programming, Working
Holds provide a way to collect one’s self in the middle or late
part of a match and prepare for the next plan of attack.
* Improved AI: WWE 2K16 sees big improvements to the AI for
Superstars, referees and managers. For example, managers can now
engage during matches by either trying to distract the referee or
get his attention to help out in the match. In addition,
significant changes are included for match-specific AI, including
Tag Team matches.
* More Match Types: Many match types of been added for WWE 2K16,
including Ladder, handicap and tornado tag matches.
* Dynamic Entrances: With the improved presentation flow for
matches, players are now able to take control of their Superstars
during the entrances and have the option to attack their
nents before the match even starts. Why wait for the bell? In
WWE 2K16, players can decide when they are ready for action.
* Additional Improvements: WWE 2K16 also includes an improved
Submission system and a vast number of new moves to create an
even more engaging gameplay experience.
* Overall Enhancements: WWE 2K16 improves upon authenticity
across the board, including:
* * New Commentary Team: For the first time, a three-man team is
now a part of the franchise, with John “Bradshaw” Layfield, new
to WWE 2K16 joining returning commentators Michael Cole and Jerry
“The King” Lawler. Thousands of new lines were recorded,
primarily in side by side studio sessions, ensuring authentic
interactions among the trio.
* Visual Upgrades: This year’s title features several thousand
new animations. WWE Superstar and Diva appearance are also been
updated, including implementation of a full cloth physics system,
enabling attire to appear and respond as realistically as
possible. Improved crowd variety, as well as more realistic
sweat, better hair and hair physics round out the visual
enhancements.
* Broadcast Presentation: Gone are loading screens between
entrances and the start of matches; instead, the camera pans the
arena and over to the commentary team for thoughts on the
upcoming match. Significant improvements were also made to
overall match presentation and flow, including new crowd members.
