WWE 2K14 - 30 Years of Wrestlemania Mode Preview

[Mercury112491]

What exactly is hard for people when it comes to understanding that this isn't 2K's game yet. They had very little to do with the making of this years edition.

King Kong Bundy has been confirmed so its safe to say that the Hogan/Bundy cage match from WM 2 is in.

I wonder if you use Bundy in exhibition mode they'll give you the option of the 5 count when you're pinning someone.

Something stood out to me from a Kokatu article on this mode:

The mode itself ends up defining a large portion of the game's roster.

THIS is exactly what I hoped WOULDN'T happen. I'm okay with a large assortment of classic wrestlers, but I'm not okay with it diminishing the current roster of superstars. If it is going to end up being a majority of legends and classic wrestlers, they would be better off making it into two separate games and linking them together like Legends of Wrestlemania and SvR 2009.

I'd compare taking wrestlers away from the current roster to if NBA 2K14 took away the Bobcats, Bucks, Suns, and Pelicans to add classic teams.

Wondering about weight detection with Andre (and rumored Bundy).

Also, will Hogans have "2 slots" or same with alternate attires (as Hogan's moves don't change..but music/entrances would)

I understand where you're coming from but one thing that I think you need to realize is that this was written by a gaming news writer and the fact that there are 45 matches means that of course the legends side of the roster is going to be huge.

Now, if he were to say something like "I noticed a lot of current superstars missing from the roster" or something like that then it would be cause for concern but from the comment it seems like he was possibly just trying to convey how many legends are in the game.

Just my two cents but he isn't a designer of the game and doesn't know if there were current superstars omitted to make room for legends and unless he notices specific guys missing, then no worries.

Yeah, to me.. "The mode itself ends up defining a large portion of the game's roster" means nothing to me until we find out how many superstars are actually in the game.

Don't forget Bundy vs Taker from WM 11.

I wonder if, considering the dire financial situation TNA is in at the moment, they could actually get Angle, the Dudleys and Jeff Hardy into this game.

I know it's probably a pipe dream, but if 2k really wanted them in and offered them enough it would maybe allow TNA to not have to release a wrestler this week.

And I'm not sure it'd be that terrible either for them for people who don't know where those guys went to look them up on the internet and find out "Oh, I can actually still see them on TV."

Obviously they'd still need Matt Hardy, and ROH is a different situation.
