Jim Ross Confirms Working On The Next 2K WWE Game

[Smacktalks]

Today seen some unofficial news drop on WWE 2K14, this time from good old JR!

Over on JRsBarBBQ.com, Jim Ross wrote in his latest blog:

"Enjoyed doing some recent work on the new, 2K WWE video game but I'm keeping the creative under wraps. Had a blast, however, I must say."

This confirms JR's inclusion in the game in some form, although it will most likely just be for commentary. We do know that he most likely wont feature in Exhibition Mode as the WWE Games team stated last year that it would take too long to record additionally commentary with JR to cover the entire current day roster.

The most likely scenario is that JR is back to record commentary for the campaign mode, but what is it? We do know JR worked as a commentator all the way up to 2010 on a fulltime basis, so he could be recording commentary for any point between the end of the last games Attitude Era mode (WrestleMania 15), through to the conclusion of the Attitude Era, The Invasion or Ruthless Aggression Era.

Either way, as JR would say, it's gonna be a slobberknocker!

Please ruthless agression era

[Mr Awesome™]

Please ruthless agression era

Yeah I hope so too

[Alex™]

I wouldn't want next game to be about the Attitude Era or Ruthless Aggression or the Invasion (Which is nearly impossible). I've always wanted a good WWE Game with the modern era, kicking each other @SS off with an epic crowd in Universe mode, and of course Creating stuff! That's all i wanted to see with 2K making the franchise for the first time.

Fuck yes!!

I just want a good modern game with current rosters but I doubt we'd have that, realistically I think we're looking at an Attitude Era Mode Part 2.

i dont know why i am feeling this but i think creations mode will be so bad in wwe2k14 and just like DH3 said we just need a modern game why are we playing things from history ! for me i didnt even know there was anything named attitude era untill wwe'13 was released they should make something modern because most of the guys that play the game are 10,11,12,13,14,15 they probably didnt watch attitude era i started watching wwe shows in 2009-2010

You didn't know what the Attitude Era was before WWE '13?

The creation Suite in WWE 2k14 cant be so bad considering it just might be a polished version of WWE 13(especially since yukes is still developing) and the creation suite for WWE 13 is great. Not perfect but great. 2K is just now taking over so they don't have the time to really implement as many new features as they would Like. The only way it could be worse is if they remove features from the creation suite.

As much as I loved the Attitude Era, once is enough, I don't want to spend any more time in the past.

You and me both Brotch.

[VinceRusso]

I understand your point of view but raw and smackdown nowadays is nothing compared to those times wwe have the talent yes but they don t know how to use it

I am not the typical internet guy that watch a show and judge a wrestler because of others opinions like too much people do around here

To be honest with you i think that the internet maybe one of the reasons that nowadays i dont have the same perpesctive of the shows like i use too when i had 10 years for example.

Current wwe is only fun in my opinion because guys like cm punk shield dolph ziggler cody rhodes and even sometimes cena (yeah i am big fan of the thuganomics cena) and orton when he was heel but i still prefer a game based on ruthless agression era because it was when i started watching wwe

Instead of the attitude era, why not do something like a storyline chapter for every Wrestlemania?

Have the build up to the by playing the matches that built up to the main-event of each Wrestlemania. This can include 1 or more for each WM. Then at the end have a highlight reel showcasing what made that Wrestlemania so special. It'd be great.

[Smacktalks]

They could do something like that to mark next year's 30th WrestleMania, although they did the first 15 WrestleMania's in the Legends of WrestleMania game.

[Fozy]

Oh right, I never played it.

that could be a good ideia

[BrotchMrToast]

Why not making one big "RTWM"? The story of WWE 12 was great IMO, but the matches were...meh, but I hope that they learned something from the AE mode and that they would make the RTWM better than in the previous years.

Other than that I really liked the season mode of the old games.

I personally hope for a "GM mode" return, so you can choose between being a superstar (NXT mode possibly,were your superstar gets better and better and so on) and the usuall GM mode(except for the competition between the brands, I'm sure they could find another solution for that)

[VinceRusso]

if they make a career mode like 2k13 that would be fantastic they really had good things to nba like the retro teams and the myplayer mod and even some mods online like association

it would be funny to make a universe online with someone

AGREE!!!

WWE NBA Style

Will be great if they will do a Season Mode like in HCTP... im still waiting for it xD

[Rewmac]

I'd do anything for a Ruthless Agression or Invasion era but the thing is most of the wrestlers from that era are either in the present or wrestling at another company.
