Also, if I recall correctly Scott Hall is appearing as a DLC character.

Awesome, that should help big time! Thank you sir.

15 felt sluggish and stale. Gameplay didn't feel organic or lively. Felt like wrestling with robots. 16's gameplay feels much improved. The flow of the matches is great, I feel like I can put on a 5 star match finally. The AI is challenging. Love the limited reversals and new wrestler traits. Adds a lot.

The only negative so far for me in the gameplay department is sometimes the animations of the moves play out way too fast. But that's just nitpicking.

I also don't like the new submission meter. But I should be able to get used to it.

As far as the roster goes. I'm fine with it. I'm more of a current roster guy. Don't care much for the legends. It's awesome having NXT guys in. Had an amazing tag match with the Vaudviallans vs Enzo and Cas. Even got a trophy that match saying something like "this match will never end" and it was a blast the whole time. Guys got tired and then got their wind back and got tired again.

I also like how the wrestlers sometimes get frustrated with the counts and stuff like that.

I do think finishers need to be more powerful. Seeing too many kickouts. But I think there is a slider for that.

And I haven't even tried My Career yet.

Overall I think its a big improvement over 15. Especially in gameplay. Which is the most important thing for me.

Definitely like the way 16 plays. Much better than 15 IMO. It is challenging to win a match on normal this year which is a great thing. Out of the 3 matches I played in 16, I only won 1. Last year I would win the match more often than not and that became boring as I knew the person I was controlling will come out on top.

The pacing of the matches are great too. I had a play now match between Rollins (Me) and Lesnar and I ended up loosing. The match took about 12 minutes to finish. We each dished out 2 finishers to each other and both kicked out of a number of pins before Lesnar finally put me away. He also have Heyman at ringside who offered and provided some good distractions that caused Rollins the match.

Submission system is something I need to figure out as I really have no clue how to do it. Hoping with time I can get that figured out.

All in all, the game looks and plays great.

Has anyone else noticed that sometimes the cue to do your special or finisher doesn't pop up even when you are in the right position? Happened to me multiple times so far.

I also agree about the sound. It needs work. Crowd needs to be a lot better.

Also, does anyone know how to buy the accelerator. When I go to PSN store in the game it says nothing is available.

I rarely ever lost last year and the previous years, so far in 2k16 I'm 3-3. Much more challenging, which is a good thing. Have to be careful on when you use reversals now. Not sure if I'm a fan of the new pinning/submission system yet, will need to play more to get the hang and feel of it.

I did notice this as well. I thought it depended on how much stamina/energy you had left. If your stamina was too low, you wouldn't be able to perform a finisher. I could be wrong though and it may be bug/glitch.

Having both of those issues right now. The finisher doesn't come up. Not sure why. Might be with hitting R1 cause that switches between the Signature and Finisher.

Also not having the accelerator show up.

Go to the store from the xmb, go to games, new & choose WWE 2K16 game & it will have the add-ons you can buy. It's also part of the season pass just to let you know if case your unaware which makes it free.
