WWE 2K15 will have a new submission system, as well as changes to wake up taunts.
This information was sourced from a French website, and only translated via Google Translate, so some of these details may have to be clarified by 2K Games in a later date.
The submission system will now have two gauges, one for the wrestler executing the submission, and another for the wrestler who is being forced to submit. The outcome depends on what happens to those gauges. If the wrestler executing the submission fills up his / her gauge, he / she will get the opponent’s submission. On the other hand, if the other wrestler fills up his / her gauge, he / she will be able to escape the submission.
A wake up taunt is a special move you can use in the WWE games to finish matches. Say you are on the top rope, and your opponent is lying on the mat. You can use the wake up taunt to get him / her to get up and face you, so that you can perform your finisher on him / her.
In WWE 2K15, wake up taunts are now being replaced with new moves called charged finishers. Charged finishers make playing the game easier since you will no longer have to execute the finisher separately. When you execute the charged finisher, it makes your opponent get up and goes directly into the finisher. In this way, your opponent also no longer has a way to escape said finishers.
Finally, here’s some definite good news for fans of the Attitude era. Popular WWE announcer Howard Finkel has revealed that he will also be in the new game. While Howard actually has some matches under his belt (2-2 in the WWE), he will not be playable. Instead, he did some of the announcement voice overs for the Rivalries mode.
WWE 2K15 will be released in October 28, on PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One.
