When THQ went belly up at the end of 2012, the future of their gaming titles were in question. The two bigger ones were WWE and UFC. Once EA Sports grabbed up UFC, it was left in the air who would get WWE. After some negotiating, 2K Sports took WWE under their wing with promise to keep the same development team on board. Thus, WWE 2K14 was born. Now, the hard part is topping WWE 13's phenomenal storyline of the Attitude Era. Wrestlemania 30 is coming up in April of 2014 so why not do a tribute to such a landmark?
WWE 2K14 offers very little to change the game just at first glance. The graphics look pretty identical as do the commentary and WWE 2k14 loading screens. The little changes I noticed were: fixed chokeslam (no longer do people turn inside out when getting a chokeslam, it actually looks natural...when you bust someone open to bleed you can see the blood start to trickle down their face...when you land a big move on an opponent you can see them spread out on the mat almost lifeless....Slobber Knocker mode is back!!....reversals and grapples feel more natural and smoother to operate.
The new game mode, 30 Years of Wrestlemania, brings back a lot of warm and fuzzy nostalgic moments for wrestling fans of yesteryear. In chronological order, you will relive at least one, if not more, moments from each and every Wrestlemania until you get to 29. You have historical objectives required to complete the match so that you can be assured everything is how it happened in real life. This mode is insanely fun. Being there when Hogan bodyslammed Andre the Giant, Hogan defeated Yokozuna in record time, Razor Ramon beat HBK in ladder match, Undertakers greatest matches and when HBK retired Ric Flair...it's all there! The roster from this is very impressive. Older, almost forgotten names like Big John Studd and King Kong Bundy, bigger names that haven't been in games like Yokozuna and Razor Ramon all the way to just retro versions of HBK, Undertaker, Triple H and The Rock. Added to this game is also a Rivalry mode to Universe. This will allow you to have programs with superstars just like in real life that play over a set amount of time.
This game is such a huge improvement on WWE 13 and breathes new life into the series. Hopefully this will bring jaded wrestling fans back to the genre. I don't watch wrestling in real life, but playing this game reminds me of all the awesome moments that I got to live through as a child watching.

I know there are some mixed reviews for this game b/c a lot of people see this as rehash of WWE '13. Truth be told it kind of is but BETTER!!! People seem to forget that THQ was still in the process of working on this game before they went out of business in January. So in that regard, I'd cut them some slack.I think this one of the best games in THQ's collection of wrestling game ever made. It has 30 YWM mode, one of the biggest rosters in a WWE game, Superstar Heads, & slight improvement to Universe Mode & creation suite. Being that this was THQ's last game now under the 2k banner this was well worth the $60 imo plus the DLC.
With that being said, I hope that next year w/WWE 2K15 being 2k's first official wrestling game that 2k start including some serious changes in certain areas of WWE 2k series. I think it's time to start an overhaul with the character models they tend to come off as cartoon-like every year. I think it would be good if 2k went the design that EA uses for the Fight Night series when making the models. They also need to fix the freezing issue when creating a story in story mode that is a pain. I would like to see some elements of GM Mode from the SvR games added in Universe Mode in 2k15 adding rivalries in 2k14 was a good start.
