14 Things WWE 2K14 Did Better Than WWE 2K23 

WWE2k14 is the best WWE game ever made ! Everything is here and perfect till the last minus detail. The possibility of create a story, create a finisher, create a title (arena, mitb), special referee mode, i quit mode, add custom theme songs (on ps3), large roster, 30 years of WM, and of course...the "Double side game box" with Daniel Bryan and The Rock...😏 (only GM Mode missing). THQ was clearly caring of the community and their WWE games 🙌

1. Not only are the steel steps interactive, there is also special commentary when you interact with it. I makes it feel more immersive. 2. I noticed in 2k23 that the blood actually reaches the neck... So at least we got somewhere LOL. But damn, I really miss dripping blood and bloody mats. 3. It really feels like 2k was deliberately teasing us with having only ONE double title entrance in the game. 4. Special referee match is one of the most highly requested from fans. It's mindboggling how 2K keeps ignoring this request. 5. I think 2K is slowly reintroducing the Create-A-Story with their take on the Rivalry system in Universe Mode. I hope they add more cutscenes though.

We can make the best wrestling game if put the graphics of 2k23 and features of wwe 2k14 together

2k14 was... Best ...

imagine if 2k14 had a remastered wit 2k23 graphics and added moves, that be a goated.

I still strongly believe svr 2011 and 2k14 are still the best wrestling games I’ve ever played. Wwe svr2011: the epic and memorable road to wrestlemania storylines. The iconic opening theme song of broken dreams from McIntyre and smoking mirrors from Rhodes. The ability to grab weapons from the crowd and countless awesome interactions from outside the ring, backstage, etc. the nice tired animation after a long match. The game is a easy 20/10 gameplay wise. My only issue is the okay roster but the game is so fun, it’s easily ignored. Wwe2k14: the masterful defeat the streak! The awesome match types. The roster was phenomenal! The 30 years of wrestlemania was amazing! The variety of attires and look for wrestlers. The create your own story line or story mode was awesome! The entire aesthetic of the game itself and the replaceable game covers! Simply phenomenal!

The freedom to perform finishers on announce tables in the older games is probably the little detail I miss the most in the newer ones

Wwe 2k15 was the first game that made me realized and understand graphics is not what makes the game great it's whats inside the game that made it great because think about it the best wwe games we loved growing up didn’t have the best graphics but had great storylines and great reactions and had better storytelling.

2k23 graphics+ 2k14 gameplay =The greatest wrestling game ever

Idk if anyone remembers this from this game but if edge was about to nail you with his spear out the corner you were able to lift him up and do your catch finisher while he was running at you .. same with Rey mysterio when he would jump after doing the 619

You can tell that the vast majority of 2K14 was done by THQ, 2K have only got close with 19

Graphics don't matter. It's the actual game that matters

2k14 had great gameplay, but had the horrible character models and animations the series was plagued with since SvR 2011 Case in point: Goldberg's corner spear, Cena and Edge with weird faces, and The People's Elbow looking like it was mocapped by Snoop Dogg at Mania 39

I like 16 not only did it have a huge roster it had a gritty feel to it that’s something you don’t feel anymore like we used to have in SVR not only did it have the details it has in 14 it has so much more to offer in the career mode

1.Every year I hope that the stairs will have a better physics 2.And I don't understand why things like "I quit matches" and Ladder finisher anywhere or to climb the commentators table are not in the game Things like this will make us to actually enjoy the game and not to buy it only for a slightly different My Carrer and a Showcase Don't get me wrong I like the WWE games but...

I think wwe2k14 was classic than the other wwe games today

Nothing beats WWE 2k14

I say it every time when People ask what my favorite wrestling game of all-time is I say WWE2K14. 2K hasn't made a wrestling game as good since. Some people try to convince themselves that this is not the case but it is a fact. The closest to WWE2K14 that they did? Is WWE2K19. I love this Video because it highlights why WWE2K14 is the MacDaddy of wrestling games Imo. Thank you for the Video.

I really do miss the Story Designer mode. I had so much fun with it 9:27

And these fans aren't realizing. They're getting sold a broken game back-to-back. And have to wait on patches throughout the year when you should already get a finished product

2k14 in a nutshell: “PUT EM IN A BODY BAG!”

Crazy how 2K has managed to not only never surprass a game from a decade ago but somehow make it look way more intuitive, like how incompetent do you have to be do that?

2K14 was truly peak, sucks THQ went out of business so 2K could gut the games and give you less freedom

2K16 had I Quit match’s special guest ref match and inferno match

4:57 i don't remember 2k14 having double title entrances, or maybe i didn't use the feature enough to remember, but even though i got the game years after release (at the time already were releasing WWE 2k16) was the release I had the most fun in this generation, along with WWE 2k16 following.

One of the best wrestling games besides HCTP And No Mercy. Perfect mix of arcade and sim style gameplay. I got an RGH Xbox just so i could get the DLC to complete my roster too. This roster is absolutly amazing

Along with Here comes the pain, Shut Your Mouth, 13, and the classic N64 duelogy it’s the best! Near Perfect roster, super great gameplay with a damn good balance, and everything you can select and create is fantastic. If we could’ve kept the gameplay style of ‘14 and added elements of old back in like original Season Mode, things like climbing the stages, and music in the background instead of commentary. It would be delightful

WWE 2K14 still proven to be the best WWE Game

2k14 still remains on top of the WWE 2k food chain.

I don't understand why in the last parts also wwe 2k23 is so limited, there are so many things and details as you can see from other parts like 2k19 etc. I just don't understand

I don’t think you know how annoying it would be if unlimited finishers was still a thing in 2k23…

2k14, took all the great things that wwe 13 had and improve them, that is why it was soo good

Most of the creativity went out the way because of so called « copyright issues » (like the fact we can no longer used imported songs from our consoles and have to use these busted generic songs from the menu or ones from the existing roster ) , that’s why 2k23 will be the last game I’ll play until they come up with a next gen version of 2k14 or svr11

Create-A-Story was awesome. Don't like how the shows are booked. You could do CAW and do up your own episodes of RAW, SD and even PPV (I can't remember if NXT was in at this stage). You had cutscebes to go backstage scenes and in-ring promos. You could do anything. Also, you could do up a show and the upload it online, for others to download it, and there was a trophy for doing it.

The perfect video game would have the weapon interactions of WWE 11-2K14 The matches from previous games The Multiple Weapon Customization from 2K20 The Full Showcase mode of a certain superstar/superstars PPV/PLE or era instead of selective matches The controls of WWE 2K23 The Paybacks of WWE 2K19 & 2K20 Old Entrance themes & motions especially if 1 or more are still in company or game

Hctp , Svr 07 , svr 11 , wwe 13 , 2k14 , 2k16 , are still my favourites ☺️💓

This is why I've given up on 2k. They just don't have the same passion for wrestling that THQ had.

I miss when the hell in a cells they you could actaully play outside the ring now it's like punch punch punch takes forever to break the cage

The put ‘em in a body bag chant is the best thing for me

They should bring the unlimited finishers back

2k23 has one double title entrance and it is roman reigns one

2k needs to take notes

Who knows maybe next game they’ll do 40 years of wrestlemania hope they do

One more is missing "create finisher" in 2k14

You keep doing this be grateful these games are getting better and 2k wrestling games are gonna be good

I confirm that wwe 2k14 was more satisfying to play than wwe 2k23

I miss 2K14 🥺

Camera flashes are also pretty neat

I don't get it how they can't do double title entrance like the 2K14 now💀

I loved the create a story mode don't know why they removed it

I've always found it weird that the wwe games add stuff each year but as this video shows and there are other examples like create a finisher, slobber knocker mode, they take stuff away. I know they changed developers but still. Also you can do multi man matches backstage in 2k23. You gotta download a s special show someone made, but its 100% possible until they patch it out. Just RU-vid search it

Let's be real, 2013 is better than 2023 in literally every aspect. 😅❤️

I just got 2k14 again to create a story and have my own CAW league. It’s honestly one of the best wrestling games ever

Ngl I went from 2k12 to 2k15 from xbox 360 to xbox one s the way moves would interact with weapons was my favorite thing to do on the game I hope they bring it back

It sucks how fast wrestlers get up after getting hit with weapons in 2K23.

The best game, in the opinion of the owner of this channel, is that one where the characters smile.

0:15 “put him in a body bag” 😂

That’s why I stopped playing wwe games.The last game I played was wwe2k19.

I will say the commentator one can’t really be helped. Jerry Lawler and Michael Cole are iconic in those games, but time and injury, specifically with things like Lawler’s stroke prevent him from being full time with anything in WWE. I will say thats why I’m excited for AEW Fight Forever. It looks like its going back to the SVR and 2K14 days.

Also so annoying that u need a manager in universe mode to hold both title in ur entrance smh

I still got and play svr 2007,2008,2009,2010,wwe 12,13,2K14 and 2K16

Mate, the Ladder finisher used to be, until 2k22, locked in the abilities, such as the table finishers

lazy devs

2k14 is the best wrestling game ever. Its not even close

It’s a shame we can’t even play 2k14 on the new gen consoles smh

Sad thing is that in 2k20 the steps could be used better to powerbom someone on them

It would be more interesting to see things that any of the modern 2k games did better than 2k14 rather than the millionth video of everything 2k14 did better

I love 2k23 it’s better than the other 2k games. Buts it’s surprising how even though 2k23 and 22 were great it still doesn’t live up to 2k14. This game is still the best WWE game.

good lord he just planted him! Seth Rollins is so innovative, so destructive !

Attitude Era models of wrestlers like The Rock, 30 years of Wrestlemania, only a few things you had to emulate when playing actual past WWE matches.

Graphics was not but we want gameplay not graphics that's why 2k14 is best 2k game🔥

2k14 will always been the best 2k in the series but they didn’t really have had in it like they do now where they themselves make the whole game..there will never be another wwe2k14

*Special Referee matches are possible in 2k23 via a modded shows you can download off of community creations. Sadly due to a bug that causes the ref to disappear in created arenas when you use them in exhibition matches. The mod is useless until the bug gets patched. Or you just re download the mod every time you turn on your game in order to have special referee matches. * Only things I say that are better in WWE 2k14 and things that are missing in 2k23 apply to games going as far back as SVR 2010. And they are Create A Story, Body sliders and morphing in create a wrestler ( older games were considered the best in all video games for its custom character creator options), Being able to give female wrestlers huge anime tiddies, boob jiggle physics, and Create A Finisher. Outside of these things everything else is subjective to me. Inferno match you played once or twice and rarely played it again. I bought the accelerator DLC because I didnt want to play all those matches in the showcase mode to unlock all the wrestlers. I rarely used the steel steps in matches because I mostly used female CAWs. I dont play a lot of extreme match types( ladder,TLC, table, ect). I got into wrestling games at a later age ( in my early 30,s when I bought SVR 2009. Been buying wrestling games ever since) than most. So playing these games as a crazy wacky stunt simulator to recreate crazy wrestling spots on TV was not something I buy these games for. I will say not being able to climb the announce table is something I miss. As well as certain OMG,s. * Backstage areas were better in 2k14. But because of a modded show you can download off of community creations you can have 8 men backstage brawl in that one area in 2k23. Something you could not do in previous 2k and SVR games. Other than the things I mentioned WWE 2k23 is a better overall game than 2k14. I put WWE 13 over WWE 2k14.

Reasons why the old games are better

14 was better because it actually had better game developers. Those developers left 2k and those developers actually are good at making wrestling games.

It’s less of a PG presentation vs. a complete PG presentation

I still do not see why they removed omg finishers

I don't use create your story mode because it's kinda confusing for me other than that this game is kinda perfect

I wont mind if the Cena and Rey showcase modes were a bit lighter so they could work on a 40 years of Wrestlemania showcase for 2K24...

Last man standing in 2k23 is basically an i quit match, same mechanics

I am waiting for 2k14 vs 2k24

When I first got 2k22 I tried using the steps in hell in a cell and was sad I couldn’t

Yea shit crazy but 2k not getting another $60 out of me Sick of their lies and excuses

Probably greatest wrestling game ever

Really hope the blood gets improved

The universe was cool too. Like how during the ppv's the wrestler Would taunt another wrestler. Stonecold was taunting randy savage.

Still mad I never got a chance to play 2k14

crazy how a game that came out 10 years ago has better weapon physics

Steel steps was in 2k18 & 19, powebombs &.body slams on the steps.

I own a ps3 now but I still have my old PS 2 slim in which I used play SmackDown vs the raw 2011 and what's crazy about this is that that 2k14 and 2011 are crazy similar like really similar I guess thq used it as the base game thus there the same

They need an "I quit" match in 2k23

Excellent thumbnail Watching now 🤘

And before 2k14 the opponent who lost inferno match used to actually be on fire

This game is still the GOAT!

Who does the methodical pace benefit?

The more of these you're showing is the more you're actually convincing me not to bother with this new game at all. Not sold on it at the slightest, it's reminding me why I stopped buying them after 2K18.

2k14 is one of those games that is going to be impossible for most game companies to get right the only one that did was thq has as 2k14 was the last wwe thq game to be made under the original thq as with that the just had 2k to put their logo on it that all they did and it truly wasn’t a 2k game in tell 2k 15 witch was their first real wwe 2k game under the 2k brand.

1. wwe 2k14 2. wwe 2k19 3. wwe 2k23

The fact that we are on PS5 and most if not all of these features are not present is ridiculous. 2K ruined wrestling games and took them ten steps back, you can say what you want about good graphics and 200+ roster but the lack of these features is ridiculous, especially since they were on a PS3 game.

2K14 was the last great WWE game i stopped at, i stopped caring about WWE games after 14 cause of THQ is gone.
