I really don't care about 2K16.

Something really big has to happen for me to want to go out and buy it.

There was a time where I'd really look forward to the next WWE game and I'd pre-order it ASAP and then once I had it, I would play the hell out of that game.

Then around SVR10 I began to find myself not enjoying the games like I used to, and then it got to the point where I couldn't be arsed playing the game at all. I got the special edition of 2K14 and I've only ever played it once or twice, and for the first time, I felt like I had wasted my money on a WWE game. Then when it came to 2K15, I didn't buy it at all and it was the first WWE game I've ever missed since I began buying them on release day every year since WWF WarZone. I've never played 2K15 and I don't think I ever will.

I really don't care as such about who's on the cover, or who's on the roster. What I do care about is gameplay. Unlike most people, I don't want a "realistic" wrestling game. To me, a realistic wrestling game is slow and sluggish.

I want better AI in a wrestling game. The AI in the previous games have been pretty bad. I want a challenge. I don't want my opponent to franticly punch a ladder when I'm climbing it, only because he's at a certain area next to the ladder, and then just stand there and watch me win as the AI has run out of options and is too stupid to think to either climb the ladder and knock me off or to simply just push the ladder.

I know it's a rare thing in this day and age, but I want a wrestling game that isn't infested with glitches. I don't want to hit my opponent with a chair, only for it to stick to his head and then freak out. Or for me to scoop slam my opponent, and then see him fall through the ring and then fly on his back through the crowd to an area of darkness. I can't help but think that most game designers are lazy these days because they know that if someone finds a problem, it can be solved with a simple patch or DLC. Before companies could do all that, it was actually pretty rare to have a game as glitchy as some are now. It's like they half-heartedly make the game and think "Meh, I can't be arsed. If there's a problem, we'll just patch it." or "Don't add that to the game. We'll have that as DLC. More money that way". I don't want to have to pay and download the majority of a game that I've already paid for.

But like Disturbed, I don't get why Austin is on the cover. All that says to me is "We've ran out of ideas, so here's a bunch of old wrestlers to play as". That is one thing I really didn't like about previous games. The main focus on the past. Like WWE '13. If I wanted to play a game that's about the Attitude Era, I'd play a game from the Attitude Era. I don't want to be able to play as Attitude Era Kane or Shawn Michaels from 1995, in a game released in 2015.
