This had some good things, lots of players and options, decent graphics and it is a pretty fun.
However, there are some big downfalls, that the designers got very lazy on.
First, the overall controls are very poor and clunky, the wrestler is always turning the wrong way and misses running moves constantly.
Second, it is WAY to easy for the computer to reverse moves, and too hard for the player.
Third, how you get out of a submission hold is completely stupid.
Fourth, it is way too hard for the younger players to kick out of a pin.
Fifth, for younger players, it is too difficult. They should have made an easy mode that allowed for unlimited finishers and not as easy for computer to reverse as much.
Sixth, the controls for hell in a cell match are awful!
Seventh, they have very limited OMG moves, and very limited finishing moves to knock opponents out of ring in Royal Rumble. Royal Rumble mode is very boring.
Eighth, there are A TON of glitches.
Ninth, the “x” button option when behind a lying or seated player is the same for every wrestler and completely stupid.
Overall, the game is average, but had potential to be great, the developers just got lazy. They should release a game every 2 years to spend more time to get it right. Like Rockstar did with RDR2. Maybe WWE should work with Rockstar to take over the rights, could you imagine how epic these games would be then?!?
They need to go back to the drawing board using WWE 2014 for PS3 as their starting point, that was the best game in this series, and has gone downhill from then. I hear 2k20 is even worse. Dissapointing.
We bought this for my 8 year old son, and he has asked us to hook back up his PS3 so he could play 2K14 because it is more fun and easier.
If you get it for less than $20, worth some hours of entertainment, but I’d rather pay $50+, for a legit WWE game!
