What makes WWE 2K14 so legendary? Find out in our review!
Gameplay
The team at WWE Games and 2K Sports worked hard to improve the gameplay and it shows. The team has made changes to the core gameplay that speed up the pace of the match and makes the game more enjoyable. These changes are instantly noticeable and make WWE 2K14 a better game.
HBK has a storied history with being a referee.
First off, the team has changed the reversal system in the game. In past iterations, reversals would lead to other reversals, which would create a frustrating chain of reoccurring reversals until one performer ended up on top. Now, reversals lead to moves. This not only keeps the pace of the match going, but it rewards the player but causing damage to the opponent.
The A.I. has also been retooled and they are more vicious than ever. The A.I. still seems to spam the reversal system and it can get caught in the occasional loop of performing the same move over and over again until you are able to reverse it. Still, while some of the constant A.I. problems still lag (Triple Threat matches still turn into Handicap matches) the A.I. still feels more competent and more of a challenge than last year’s version. Here, even on normal, your opponent will take every opportunity to capitalize on your mistake and achieve victory.
The Creation Suite now features Superstar Heads.
The gameplay in WWE 2K14 is leaps and bounds above the last few iterations of the game which makes this year’s new modes even more fun to play.
