This includes really spotty hit-detection, A.I. In fact, few of the models were even updated.Īnd to compound all of this, the game also still suffers from all the flaws that the WWE franchise is famous for. The roster, while still bigger than most fighting games, is actually smaller than both WWE 13 and 2k14’s, and the promised diversity is nowhere to be seen. The voice work and announcing from Jerry Lawler and Michael Cole is entertaining, but can get repetitive. The graphics somehow look less impressive than 2k14’s, a little bit more blocky and jagged around the edges. Not only that, but iconic matches from events like WrestleMania are omitted for random Smackdown or Raw matches instead, and while superfans might enjoy this, I found that many of the matches in the showcase mode were matches I had never seen before nor did I care about.Įverything else feels like a step backward as well. This is also one of the first games to examine the transition into the “reality” era of wrestling, post 2010, but it does a very superficial job of it. However, 2K Showcase shows a couple chunks of a couple different feuds here and there, without actually providing insight as to why the feuds were important or revolutionary. WWE 2k14’s 30 Years of Wrestlemania explored the history of the WWE’s most iconic event. WWE 13’s Attitude Era mode was all about showing how wrestling changed from the good-guy bad-guy motif of the eighties to the anti-hero feel of the 90s and early 00s. The 2K Showcase mode does a decent job showcasing the wrestling plotlines of the past, but it feels a bit unfocused.
