The in-ring action this year in WWE 2K15 is a marked improvement in many ways. One of which is the match pacing. The pacing is less frantic than previous editions, making the overall experience feel more like a wrestling match than a fighting game. Let's look at some ways you can take advantage of the improved style of the game.

1. Be methodical. Don’t hurry with strikes or grapple holds. Try to take your time and set up each maneuver. It will also give your opponent less chances to reverse your moves.

2. Concentrate on a specific body part. Either use the games limb targeting system, or use moves that concentrate on the head or body. This will give a genuine advantage. The more damaged a certain body part is, the easier the win.

3. Make sure you use your signature move. It may sound silly, but if you don’t use it by the time you get your finisher, you will lose. This is a powerful move, and could be the difference in winning or losing a match.

4. If your finisher doesn’t win you the match don’t panic. See No. 1. Be methodical again. Panicking at this point will almost assuredly cost you the match. It might take a bit of time to build up to your special and finisher again, but it's not impossible if you are careful.

5. Take a breather. If your stamina gets depleted, step outside the ring for a minute to let it replenish. As you know, when your stamina is depleted you’re pretty much screwed. Especially if your opponent is still fresh.

6. Store a couple finishers. This is how you perform OMG maneuvers. OMG maneuvers dish out a great deal of damage and can turn the tide of any match. Not to mention they are pretty darn cool.

7. Use weapons. If you are in no disqualification type match of course. Once again, like OMG maneuvers, weapons dish out a great deal of damage and can turn the tide of a match. Just make sure your opponent doesn’t reverse a weapon strike!

8. Learn how to use reversals better. Reversals are a very important component in WWE 2K15. You need to be able to use reversals to your advantage simply because the AI is so good at the same. If you’re getting pummeled you need to be able to counter an attack, or it will be a short match.

9. Put your opponent through the announce table. Why not? It's out there so you might as well use it to your advantage. It deals pretty decent damage, and anything helps especially if you need a boost during a match.

10. Get good at chain wrestling. Since every match starts out with chain wrestling (assuming you haven’t turned it off), you might as well get good at it. Chain wrestling can set the tone of the match so its quite important to master.
