WWE 2K14 Gameplay Improvements

By Aubrey Sitterson on July 18, 2013

At a recent event in New York City, select members of the press got to interview WWE 2K14 pre-order bonus Legend, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9l2FeI5GMg0, and yes, spend some time with a build of WWE 2K14.

While we didn't give away everything, there were some notable improvements discussed at the event. And since we don't want to leave you in the dark, check out below for a list of all the tweaks, changes and updates discussed at the event, and make sure to stay tuned for more great updates to your new favorite game, WWE 2K14.

• NEW NAVIGATION SYSTEM
  
  • The entire navigation system has been overhauled and reanimated including all walking, running, and dragging motions to give the game a more fluid and life-like feel and look.
    
  • Overall Superstar movement has been accelerated, meaning the action is faster-paced and more like what you see on WWE television.
    
  • There is now a "starting up" animation for when Superstars begin running. This leads to a more natural-looking match, where it is more difficult to "spam" running attacks.
    
  • Animation gestures have been added such as adjusting wrist bands, motioning for your opponent to get up, and many more to give a human-like appearance to the navigation system.
    

  [*]STRIKING CHANGES

  • Strikes and strike combos are now quicker and snappier, making them faster and harder to reverse.
    
  • Successfully landing a strike combo now puts your opponent in a groggy state, making groggy grapples appear earlier and more frequently.
    

  [*]REVERSAL SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS

  • Reversing a grapple move now causes the reverser to do a move of his/her own automatically.
    
  • This cuts down on the endless back-and-forth "reversal fest" some users complained of in WWE '13 while also making the match move faster.
    

  [*]CATAPULT FINISHERS

  • Catching Finishers can now be executed offensively, by Irish Whipping your opponent to the ropes with a finisher stored or catapulting your opponent up when they run towards you.
    
  • Select finisher moves give you the ability to launch an opponent into the air and then hit them with a Catch Finisher on the way back down.
    

  [*]NEW OMG MOMENTS

  • New multi-man OMG Moments added to help you gain the upper-hand in multi-man matches. One OMG move can take out two opponents in one shot making it easier to get the win against multiple opponents.
    

    [*]New OMG Moments added to allow you to dole out even more damage using the ring environment.

    • Boot-to-head on outside ringpost
      
    • DDT on the apron
      

  [*]TWO-COUNTS

• Double Attitude Adjustment
  
• Double Shellshock
  
• Double Chokeslam
  

• One of the most reviled bugs in WWE '13 was the dearth of two-counts. This issue has been addressed, bringing back the dramatic near falls you know and love.

It's funny. That old line about 'yeah they're going to fix that issue, its called next years game'. And thq always denied that's how it works.

So the 2 count bug that they denied existed and blamed on the fans is now gone... But not on the game it plagues and ruins.

Congratulations on doing another half assed job... About 12 months too late. Seriously how anyone could put 13 on sale and not notice it is beyond me. Just shows the complete lack of passion by the devs.

Next they'll brag they've 'fixed' the servers only for us to find on release they're just as bad and now other parts of the game are broken.

At least they'll 'fix' those issues though by releasing WWE 15!

Finally!! They Have Fixed The Two Count System..It Will Be Now Dramatic!

[BrotchMrToast]

This sounds awesome! They fixed basically every of those small things that bothered me over the years! That's how it's done!

[huh]

Shaping up to be a great game

[Righteous]

I'll stick with the "Believe it when I see it".. Ofcourse this all sounds good and wonderful, but as history has proven-- we get something good,only to have more bad things happen! So, I'm skeptical, but interested.

[kidsampson]

Wow, are they really advertising the addition of two counts as a new feature of a WRESTLING title now in its 15TH YEAR of release?! Anyone else find this ridiculous, considering what sort of entertainment we're talking about here.

And I hope the catapult finishers and other combos don't begin the descent into trying to incorporate a juggling system into this series, a la other fighting game franchises.

[AgeofSandow]

I will not believe any hype until I know how well the game actually plays. Remember last year? They promised us a totally revamped commentary system. Of course, when WWE 13 came out, anyone could notice that commentary was not improved.

[xWreckIntent]

Something tells me they put the bugs in on purpose so they can have something to "Fix & Improve" for next year, when in all reality it shouldn't have been an issue in the first place.

[Zenith]

What concerns me is the ''speed improvement''. I really don't want this to turn into TNA Impact. As for the other improvements are concerned, i think it's not that bad. Can't wait for them to reveal more so we can make a more solid opinion.

[Derick™]

I NEED to know if Kaitlyn is in, according to the leaked roster she is so I'll just go with it since last year the leaked roster was completely true.
