WWE 2K16 Review

WWE 2K16 takes a big leap in the right direction this year. See why this year's version is so great.

Watch more IGN Game Reviews here!

This is probably one of the last great 2k games as of 2019 imo

[HiSaimanSays]

Wished they put more effort on models of Jericho, Owens, Lesnar, but other than that the game looks epic! The gameplay is just how a wrestling game should be.

[saarah]

I still think that the the wwe games were better 10 years ago

[ymiwatchen]

I said it last year and I'll say it again. no chris benoit, no buy.

and the fact that my black character can not fight hogan at Wrestlmiana for the rights to bang his daughter was just the last straw for me..

[MHEPPNER]

Cons, My Career cut scenes/interviews... just awful... Voice Acting... just awful.

[hahahayess]

Haven't played a wrestling game since "Here Comes the Pain".

[logankerr]

this has got to be one of the HIGHEST ratings ever! on a WWE game! 2k deff stepped it up Big Time!

[awaken]

*Game Devs talking to 2K management*: "If you want us to keep recycling gameplay year after year, GIMME A HELL YEAH!"
*2K*: "OH HELL YEAH!"

[XMENFAN]

The two bigger let downs of 2K16 that IGN didn't say were that 1.Submissions are terrible and 2.You can not call for a title shot on the my universe mode.

[MYLISTIK]

is no one talking about how in normal matches that it takes most the time 3+ signatures and 3+ finishers to win a match!

[SuperVegitoSSJ]

I'd rather have them scrap career and showcase modes if that means vastly improving Universe mode and adding tons of cutscene and cutscene variety (Subtitles without voice overs doesn't hurt) with backstage cutscenes and interviews with the cutscenes not only appearing during rivalry matches and for them to be more frequent and less predictable. Basically a better version of Smackdown 2's story mode.

Seriously, do they realize how much potential Universe mode has? They can even put showcase storylines into Universe mode if need be. I love the idea of playing your own WWE show and I'm sure many others do, yet the developers haven't done anything to capitalize on it. I wish more people would express this and spread the word so that developers will actually do something about it.

8.8 is a damn good score for a WWE game, if it had AJ Lee it would have hit 9.0 though!

[chancealvis]

MyCareer interviews:

Renee Young: "... ... ... Today let's talk about your opponent, Tyler Breeze... ... ... ... ... ... ..."

Player: "... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... (Response Choice.)"

Renee Young: "... ... ... ... ... Well, that's it here, back to you cole."

lol.

[SaiyanQuad]

I love this game on my Xbox one. Last gen users....upgrade Stop expecting last gen to matter when it comes to new games!!

[philo]

The biggest thing for me is before they only let you download what 20 creations? Right? Now its a 100!!!

[ultragarrison]

How come nobody pointed out the fact that you cant edit a superstar's alternate attire?

That IMO is the biggest flaw.

[TheOmegaRiddler]

I like the fact that they have addressed counters in this game. In previous games I had to nerf the AI because it reversed moves too often that made it a pain to play the game

[evildead]

Last wrestling game I played before this one was smackdown vs raw 2008. and honestly is not that bad its actually kind of fun it feels like a real wrestling match only thing I miss is the blood and the slow motion finishers.

[Cashtro]

Does anyone notice how long and dry My Career can get at times, just to move up in ranking after you get passed the NXT stage.

[bxredhornet]

They should do a career mode where you be a part of the Monday night wars were you choose WCW or WWE and your impact on the company changes the story and you can also change company what do you guys think
