WWE 2K15 has fantastic in-ring work with its fighting mechanics recreating WWE's style. However apart from this, and the Showcase mode which critics agree is a highlight, the game has little else to offer

Critic Reviews for WWE 2K15
WWE 2K15 looks better and hits harder on new-gen, but some key omissions keep it from reaching the main-event.
A capable attempt to recapture the magic of WWE, let down by the decision not to update any single element of the console versions.
WWE 2K15 is a kick in the teeth, then. Graphically assured as it is, almost every other element of the 15-year-old series has been cut back, tampered with pointlessly or outright ruined. The series hasn't been good for a long time now, but this year is the first it's been actively bad. The wait for a great new WWE game continues .
Sporting new looks and a handful of new mechanics, WWE makes its way onto the new consoles with 'WWE 2K15' where risky design choices knock the series out of champion status.
The leap to new-gen is more of a stumble for WWE, as it drops elements of existing content and recycles a lot more, giving little feeling of quality.
2K Showcase rivalries are presented well, but can't match the spectacle of last year's Wrestlemania matches. MyCareer needed more time in the oven
Although the series' combat has never felt better, WWE 2K15 fails to deliver on the pomp and pageantry of professional wrestling.
