The WWE 2K22 1.15 Patch preceded the Clowning Around Pack DLC, which is how Visual Concepts has been releasing their major updates over time. However, three months since its launch, Visual Concepts still hasn't fixed a lot of concerns and issues that fans really care about, like Universe Mode tag team custom finishers not registering correctly, along with a bunch of Universe Mode-specific issues and Creator Suite errors. Much of the changes in WWE 2K22 1.15 Patch feel like they're not even supposed to be mentioned, just done. It makes people feel like Visual Concepts has already given up on fixing the game. But in any case, here's what's included in this patch:

GENERAL

Various adjustments to Superstar attributes
Addressed reported concerns about crashes occurring when using the News tile to navigate the game
Addressed reported concerns where Superstars entered the Royal Rumble in the wrong order

GAMEPLAY

Addressed the ranges of select moves
Various adjustments to address incorrectly assigned moves to certain Superstars
Added moves to various move categories
Addressed reported concerns of the ladder falling down during ladder matches
Addressed reported concerns of players warping and popping up after a match ends
Addressed reported concerns of tag team finishes and attacks not occurring during matches
Addressed reported concerns of the AI not performing their running signature/finisher against corner-seated opponents
Addressed the alignment on various animations so that they connect better in-game
Adjusted the damage of several moves to ensure the correct amount was being applied to opponents

ONLINE

Improved stability within Community Creations

CREATE

Addressed reported concerns of shirts being tucked in when not intended
Addressed reported concerns of a soft-lock in the game when editing CAS
Addressed reported concerns of infinite loading when editing a saved video on PS5

UNIVERSE

Stability improvements when using Custom Superstars

In spite of these changes, they feel very minor compared to the complaints that players have had since day 1, and some that got introduced through some of the previous patches. One Redditor has listed down issues he's noticed not fixed or addressed, while others in the comments acknowledged, verified, and even added their own misgivings for the game.

And yet, this has been the smoothest WWE 2K game we've had in a while. The bar was low, and it says a lot about the series.
