In talking to developers who had been working on the WWE games under the THQ banner (nearly all of which were picked up by 2K when the license was transferred to them), it became apparent that THQ had mostly pushed the WWE games to the side, treating them as a way to pull in some guaranteed cash, while offering up little in the way of resources to the team. In the last days of the THQ era, it was highly unlikely you'd see any McMahon, let alone Vince, wander up to a podium to speak to press about a licensed video game. And while the boss did so in his traditionally grumpy, stand-offish way, one still got the impression that he meant it when he said the WWE was glad to be working with 2K. Who wouldn't, considering the upgrade in financial resources and marketing prowess they'd just contracted themselves into?

With all of that said, WWE 2K14 arguably took a backseat to just about everything else going on at the very event aimed at promoting it. Something about the particular mix of iconic wrestlers brought out to talk up the game, the sheer scope of the SummerSlam pay-per-view event itself, and, in at least one particular case, (possible) considerable imbibing of alcohol by a wrestler, combined to make 2K14 seem like a bit of a wallflower at its own party.
WOOOOOOOOOOO

There are more than 45 of these matches, covering all 29 of the previous events. Savage vs. Steamboat, Hogan vs. Warrior, Michaels vs. Razor, Rock vs. Austin, Undertaker vs. just about everyone, they're all there. There are certainly some omissions--any of Piper's memorable, if potentially unlicensable celebrity bouts come to mind--and there are a few head-scratcher inclusions that seem to be there strictly because they were available, like that largely reviled Goldberg vs. Brock Lesnar match from Wrestlemania XX, and the thoroughly hyped but largely forgettable Cena/Rock match from Wrestlemania XXVIII (thankfully, not the even worse one from this past April). But outside of those few peculiarities, the scope and breadth of talent and history on display was most impressive, as were the educational film packages produced by WWE's video team.
I really wanted Piper vs Bret:noah:

Wrestlemania mode is gonna be sick. Gonna be one of those games you're not gonna wanna put down untill you've beaten that mode.

I just hope that Universe mode is improved and works. The mode would be so dope if it worked. If they sort that mode out, then this game would be the GOAT. Especially with that roster :wow:

This is what I'm saying... Universe mode was supposed to take a step up last year, I didn't see it. That mode has so much potential

They have Piper signs in the crowd and the have shown him in the video packages, I wouldn't be surprised if they make him DLC.

Shame the game has such a good roster but is completely the same as last years.
its CRAZY obvious; piper NEVER turns down a paycheck either

As long as they fix the 2 count glitch I'll cop. Only thing that stopped me from loving 13
