This mini-game only happens two-three times during the match & can be turned off via the options menu. Additionally, an attacking wrestler can strike/wrench the opponent’s limb, making it harder for them to find the sweet spot. If the attacker finds it first, they’ll perform a move, if the defender finds it first, they’ll gain the upper hand. Whoever wins will place their opponent in the corresponding hold, while both the players rotate the right analog stick (space + movement keys on Personal Computer) to find a “sweet spot”. At beginning of the tie-up, each opponent will press one of 3 face buttons to place their opponent into a side headlock, a wrist lock / a waist lock with a rock-paper-scissors style outcome. Pressing the grapple button at beginning of the match will initiate a collar-and-elbow tie-up. The WWE 2K15 Game signifies the start of a “new generation”, which focuses on turning the franchise into a true wrestling game rather than “a fighting game with WWE Superstars in it.” The latest chain wrestling mini-game has been implemented (exclusive to current generation consoles & PC only) to make matches play out more realistically.
