WWE 2K14 Gameplay Improvements

12:57 PM - July 19, 2013 by Steve_OS

2K Sports has revealed more gameplay improvements for WWE 2K14. Just in case you missed our hands-on preview, click here.

The game ships on October 29th for 360 and PS3.

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.
  - Double Attitude Adjustment
  - Double Shellshock
  - Double Chokeslam
- 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
- 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.

I started experimenting with the series with an emulator on snes a 8 years ago and had stopped playing the wwe games right after the first svr. I purchased 10, 11 and 12 for the outstanding community creations. I would spend hours editing move sets, entrances and adding music. I then re rate all the wrestlers and make factions etc.

When you get in the ring though all I feel is frustration. It is too easy to reverse against the ai. The ai will let you land 3 grabs then automatically reverse the next every time whether it is a strike, grab etc. We at least need back the 2 separate reverse buttons and slower game play for starters. This game should not be a button masher which is what the striking is shaping up to be. I want to like the game but it is no challenge.
