When you tie up it starts rock, paper, scissors, when someone has the high ground there it goes to a thing where you aim with the right stick to find the spot, winner of the spot minigame generally gets to do a move or get out of/reverse the grapple. Easiest way to win a match is to grapple dudes down and then while they're doing, instead of striking them or ground grappling them, showboat a little with taunts so you can build to a signature/finisher faster. You can win matches just fine without a finisher but it's the fastest way to put someone down for 3.

I've found that one of the better ways to avoid getting into a tie up is to sprint and grapple instead of a standing/walking grapple so that you can do a bit of damage to them and help to do standing grapples more easily.

The bit at the start of the 2k15 career mode with Bill De Mott is hilarious. I'm having ****+ matches with Tommy Strong and all he's doing is arbitrarily complaining over it instead of enjoying the wrestling classic.

Yeah, it's pretty shockingly realistic.

Same as the grapple minigame but you have some jobber yelling at you while you do it.

2k15 really ramps up the difficulty on title defenses - on more than one occasion I had to DQ myself because I was getting to my second finisher and hadn't gotten Rusev down to his red health bar yet (granted, most of my super heavyweight CAW's attacks target the torso and I assume Rusev's pretty sturdy there)

Rusev's torso is basically a literal tree with arms and legs grafted to it, yeah.

I think the general consensus is that what was lost far outweighs what was gained.

Yeah, this. Just as a casual player I feel like 2k14 was a more completetotal package that offered generally better stuff and kind of wish that one was ported to PC instead, but I love me some old wrestling so the inventory of dudes from the '80s and early '90s does weigh me towards 2k14 even discounting the other parts that were dropped.

2k is really pushing the "largest roster in WWE game history" line. I hope that's legit and not including the 12 versions of Stone Cold that will be in the story mode.

I'd personally love it if they actually straight up included everyone on the current roster plus a robust group of legends.

Unfortunately, it'll be

You can see the Wrestlemania set in the background of Sting's pics. It's night there but I hope they have a daytime variation because that was one of my favorite things about this year's setup.

I want a version that starts in daytime and then as the match goes on it gets later and later until it's dusk and then night for the longer iron man matches.
