What Made: WWE 2K14 So Good? 

New video on the classic Smackdown Shut Your Mouth is out, support your boy and check it out 🙏🏼, also sorry for botching saying 2K14 in this video a bunch of times 😂

When 2k15 came out half the community was still playing 2k14

i remember that at christmas, my parents got me 2k14 instead of 2k15, i love my parents

“ 2k15 was a disaster, one of the worst wrestling games ever” 2k20: “ hold my beer”

I can’t believe that 2K removed Create-a-Story. I was so pissed.

Because 2K DIDNT MAKE THIS GAME

WWE 2k14 was the last time you could do special referee matches. Man I loved being the heel ref and count to 3 fast lol

0:30 that Shawn Michaels kip-up is next level 😂

2k14's graphics werent actually that bad. It looks so clean imo.

The last wwe game i truly enjoyed.

2013: 7 females in the game 2018: Enough females to have a Royal Rumble.

It was honestly because of this game that i know so much about WWE today. Even if I don't watch it nowadays, its fascinating how fast I learned about almost everything about the wrestling industry just based of this game. Definitely top 5 best WWE games of all time.

The fact they had attires instead of duplicates made this so great. I use to download CAWS then use there theme from online when I had this on ps3

the last WWE game to date with custom Music

Roster, the arena selection, the video packages. Just imagine WWE 2k20 with the same gameplay and visuals of 2k19 AND everything that 2k14 has.

WWE 2K14 is by far my favorite wrestling game. Here's why. 1) it's THQ's final game. 2) the large roster (sans the women) 3) Brodus Clay in his PRIME and 4) it was made with the PS3 and Xbox 360 in mind as a priority and not an afterthought.

I feel like WWE 13 is really underrated

My favourite WWE game. 30 years of wrestlemania was the shit👌

Because it was made by THQ.

THQ was the best gaming company ever those were the good old days.

*Why 2k14 was so good in 4 words:* *Special Guest Referee Online*

That trap version of takers theme was dope

"What made WWE 2K14 so good?" Me and my CAWs.

"2K15 was a Disaster! One of the worst wrestling games ever...." 2K20: Hold ma beer.

The last of the great WWE games! They went to hell from there. I suspect story designer got the axe coz Vince saw we could book better shows than he could.

This generation’s Here Comes the Pain

I still play 2k14 and SvR 2006... Nostalgia.

2k15: i am the worst 2k 2k20: hold my glitches

"Pick WWE 2K14 up today, the graphics will be outdated." WWE 2K20: "Nuh Uhh!"

I remember in wwe2k14 I used to play gauntlet matches with infinite finishers with Randy Orton

Seth Rollins’ curb stomp has literally no counter in that game lol

I remember downloading the CAWs and customizing their music with their Actual music. I made the invasion/alliance story line in create a story(with additional WCW/ECW stars)...this game was Everything

WWE14 was so good so I probably hook up my old PlayStation 3 and start playing the WWE 2K14

Dude only 7 females 😂 WWE has come a long way

What if they made an updated version of 2k14 with just better graphics

*reads thumbnail* Me: 'Cause 2K didn't make it😂

Some of those CAW slots I reserved for guys like the Hardyz, the Dudleyz, Benoit, Angle, Piper, etc. I especially loved that Custom Soundtracks were a thing.

It's 2019 and I still play this

This game is amazing! Best wrestling game ever since No mercy and svr 2007. Thank you for this review. Amazing nostalgia with the WrestleMania showcase.

WWE 2k14 is the Best There Is, the Best There Was, the Best There Ever Will Be.

It’s a shame this game wasn’t released on PC. If it was there would be so many great mods and a thriving community supporting it. I would play it non stop with an Xbox 360/Xbox one controller. I own it on my Xbox 360, but there isn’t any online support now.

This game has many nostalgic moments. Especially the 2K showcase what a great addition. The newer games are not as fun. I hope you make a video similar to this about SVR2007

Imagine a WWE 2K14 remaster until Wrestlemania 35

I loved Eddie Guerrero's reaction to kofi's death

My favorite wrestling game of all time! I also felt like a kid (and I was around 34-36 playing this) and has so much FUN doing Universe Mode for years. I didn't upgrade until 2k17 and the ps4.

2K14 got me back into wrestling but 2K15 flush that down the drain.

I think the graphics are Great man. Better graphics don't make a better game

Yes! I still own 2k14 and I feel its the "No Mercy" of modern era. Yes that legendary and I still love it better than 2k15-19

Back when creating arenas was fun

The one thing I appreciated the most was how accurate the overalls felt for most wrestlers e.g: 95s and 94s were only for wrestlers who defined the era like Hogan, Austin and Bret Hart 93s and 92s were wrestlers the main rivals of the 95s and 94s like Randy Savage, HHH and Shawn Michaels 91s and 90s were wrestlers who were the top champion at one point but are generally in upper mid card like Kane, Big show and Rey Mysterio Everyone between 90 to 85 were mid carders everyone below 85 were jobbers In recent wee games the overalls are all over the place

2k14 , SvR11, and wwe 12 was my favorite

I had some of the best time of my life playing this game. My roommate and I would play days on end with our own CAW. Both as a tag team and as singles. Bought the DLC with everything, so the roster was stacked. GREATEST WRESTLING GAME OF ALL TIME!!!!

This game needs a remake with the same roster , maybe even bigger Best wrestling game for me , ever

only if it was in ps4 or xbox1 then this would be one of the best games of all time

You summed my problems up with 2K15 upto 2K19. They're focused way to much on simulation and they're way too slow for me. WWE2K14 was amazing and I always go back to it when I need my wrestling game fix.

I still got this and love it, glad I never got rid of it. This is a beast of a game. So many things to do, you don't get bored.

I picked this game up from Goodwill for $7.50 because of this review/retrospective. I haven't played a wrestling game since HCTP, and man am I glad I did. Thanks very much for the reviews, and keep them coming.

People compare this to SVR2007, when they’re forgetting the absolute perfection of SVR2011. A great roster, gameplay and some of the most fun/meta RTWs made SVR2011 a true classic.

All wrestlemania & raw/smackdown should be mandatory. Even at least 2 wcw & ecw arena

Man I'm 14 and I know just how u feel when u brought up that little kid reference, when 2k14 came out every time my parents went out to go shopping or date night, I listened for them than snuck to there bedroom to watch them pullout of the driveway, and u know what I did, 222222222kkkkkkkkkkk1111144444, I miss those days

2k14 includes an wrestlemania 30 arena way before that wrestlemania really happen. Just Awesome

I wish wwe 2k14 had Jeff hardy Matt hardy Doudly boys And rvd

Because everything was well and stable like the table matches were fun to play until 2k15 and the now it takes less than 2 minutes to win it smh 🤦🏿‍♂️

Who's here after he remade this video

I remember playing this years ago my favorite character to play was Steve Austin

2K need to stop making wwe games

Custom soundtrack is the best thing in 2k14

You mentioned the difficulty. It was true. Having a game where I could win with anyone got a bit stale when wrestling against the cpu. However, the universe that my friends and I created was what kept us going, year after year. Having our own roster of around 50 staple superstars, all created by us, allowed the wwe games to long outlast any other game that we owned. My friends and I ALL had copies of these games. The depth in creation was staggering, on top of all the wrestlers that loved growing up being in there. Even watching the matches of our creations unfold led us to our universe, even when my love for the actual product grew cold. These games were outstanding.

This man makes fire content and I'm always itching and scratching for a new video of his!💥💥

Man I freakin loved 2k14 I remember playing this game after I just finished playing ALL the svr games in early 2014. By the time 2k15 came out it just felt out of place...like it didn’t have that spark that 2k14 had🤷‍♂️ 2k14 truly was the last wwe game I loved, granted I do have the rest of the wwe 2k games up to this year but 2k14 was something special

The gameplay, roster, 30 Years of WrestleMania, this game has everything, this is a true WWE 2K game that I enjoyed playing and I still play it to this day on my PS3, I am working on a CAW Wrestling Interpromotional or Multi-League Mega Event called Leagues Collision on WWE 2K14 and I am so happy that I decided to pick WWE 2K14 instead of WWE 13 to make Leagues Collision, it fits so perfectly in WWE 2K14. Keep up the good work. WWE 2K14 Forever!

I’m still playing this every week almost it’s amazing even after getting done with showcase mode it’s amazing one of the best of the best

The fact that it had 30 years of WrestleMania and a roster with all of the correct choices for superstars was why this game was so perfect

I know no one will belive me but I was #16 in the world with score for defeat the streak Edit : Thanks for the like random person Edit 2 : Wow thanks for the likes

I actually had a battle of Los Angeles for PWG story in this game. It was fun and great.

Finally someone actually realizes how amazing this game was I loved this game when I was younger I can’t play it whenever I want now because I left my old console in Mexico with this game since I travel regularly so it kinda sucks but I will always love this game

bro keep making content. You're actually fun to watch

WWE fans would agree that WWE2K14 and Smackdown Here Comes The Pain were the greatest wwe games to ever be released. WWF No Mercy and Wrestlemania 2000 as well in my opinion

I remember I always cheated in defeat the streak mode to where I just go the undertaker's move set and change all his special moves to a top rope move.

I was in 2nd grade obsessed with wwe and got this the day it came and had a blast this game will always have a place in my heart.

Never played 2k14 (might buy it it's pretty cheap) but my god 2k13 was one of the best wwe games I've ever played maybe only beaten by here comes the pain and I feel this video was a love letter to them old wwe games good video bro you've earned a subscriber

" I felt like a kid even though I was in grade school '" LMAO

2k14 and SvR 11are my favorite and 30 years of wrestlemania is what made u want to stay up at night and grind to unlock wreslters...its worth it

I was having an existential crisis over whether or not I liked wrestling anymore because of the recent 2K games. Then I put in SvR and I fell in love again. I also had stopped watching wrestling around 09; 2k14 brought me BACK into watching wrestling again. These games are just so amazing, it makes me scratch my head over what 2K is doing to this franchise

Great because of roster and retro arenas. The actual in-ring gameplay hasn't aged well though. WWE 2K19 in-ring gameplay is a lot better.

I Remember Defeat The Streak. It Was Close To Impossible At First But I Got Better And Defeat The Streak Was Getting Easier And Easier. As A Matter Of Fact, I Beat Undertaker With Everybody In The Game

My favorite part of this game was the online mode, there was always lobbies open to play on and I loved just going in there and talking shit in elimination chamber matches, honestly this game was essentially my introduction to online gaming and it was so fun I made so many friends from this game, so many memories 👌🏻

Thank you so much for this video! I was not really happy with the newer wrestling games and wanted to scroll back to something good

The funny character creation and silliness is my fav part.

I remember sitting for hours on end on my ps3 playing this

Rowdy Rowdy Piper & Mike Tyson were the only things missing from this game!

I remember my roster was so stack, I made three brands: Raw, SD, & ECW😌good days man 😌😌😌

I like how you set your Universe Mode to the Ruthless Aggression era. I've done mine in WWE 2K19 in the Attitude era (1999-2000)

Dude 2k14 was so amazing the graphics game play everything best wwe game on ps3

Bruh I remember getting hyped over reversing the gamers suicide dive

I got so stoned a few times, I turned on WWE2K14 and started the game up. I eventually just sat there and listened to the opening screen. It was The Rocks theme song.

This game was my favorite!! I am a wrestling fan more than a gamer (the only video games I buy a wrestling games and I'm typically one generation behind on consoles). I loooved the aesthetics of having a manager ringside through matches. Giving an opponent a manager for that false finish added so much fun!! And its DLC Season Pass was unbeatable! With the addition of Syxx, all five members of the Kliq were present... OMG, really? Thank you!!

WWE 13 and 2K14 are the best WWE games of the modern day

3:03 “simply put the roster had it all” he says while showing there was only 7 women not including DLC and 3 of them were legends

If WWE 2k14 was next gen I bet a lot of us would still be playing it to this day
