2K is doing a WWE2K14 stream on twitch.tv right now, if anyone's interested. There are a few nifty bits, but yeah... it's pretty much just another edition on the same old WWE engine.

Looks like they're getting rid of the constant reversal holds, thank God. Animation looks a bit more fluid as well, but yeah, it's the same engine. It is a yearly franchise.

I know some people aren't fans, but I like the current engine and am glad they're doing iterative updates of it instead of ditching an engine wholesale like they've done in the past. I'm not quite sure they're at the point where they should be adding a ton of little touches, but they are nice. That said the two people hosting this stream are not good at talking to a camera at all.

If there is any update to the WWE 2K15 games then its the next one that will hopefully be a big step towards changing.

yeah 2k15 is presumably going to be developed for both current and next gen systems (and thus will probably not be appreciably different in most respects, due to the performance cap the last gen represents) but it would stand to reason that 2k16 would be fully next gen and we might see a big leap then.

There is absolutely no reason they couldn't produce a much better quality game on this generation's hardware, there won't be as big a leap as you might expect

There is no reason that there can't be a modern looking wrestling game on the 360/PS3, but as 2K puts more development resources into whatever they decide are their next-gen plans, a lot of that stuff filter down to current-gen. Considering they will likely stay cross-gen for a few years, and how outdated some of the Yukes stuff is (super long loading screens instead of texture streaming, having 20k+ poly models instead of normal mapping) there are big leaps that can be made that may not be impressive for regular games, but will be firsts for wrestling games.

Well, seeing as Angle, Jeff Hardy and the Dudley Boys are in TNA (and don't have non exclusive merch deals), the Wrestlemania XIX (Lesnar vs Angle) and XX main events (both world title matches) and the TLC triple threat tag from X-7 can't be used. Plus, Benoit's current status also disqualifies him from several and Owen's match vs Bret can't be included due to his widow not wanting his image used in anything to do with wrestling.

It has been said that the remaining roster will make up for it though...

Yeah this is the guys who'll be in the Wrestlemania mode. I can understand the confusion since Alberto Del Rio is there for some reason. That said the list does pretty much confirm that Steamboat/Savage is going to be in that mode.

Since I have nothing better to do, I'm gonna see which matches we can make with that roster.

WM1: Studd vs Andre.
WM2: Hogan vs Bundy
WM3: Savage vs Steamboat, Hogan vs Andre
WM4: Hogan vs Andre, Savage vs DiBiase
WM5: Hogan vs Savage
WM6: Warrior vs Hogan
WM7: Warrior vs Savage, Hogan vs Slaughter
WM8: Savage vs Flair
WM9: Yokozuna vs Hart, Hogan vs Hart
WM10: Razor vs HBK, Hart vs Yokozuna
WM11: Taker vs Bundy, Diesel vs HBK
WM12: Warrior vs HHH, HBK vs Hart
WM13: SCSA vs Hart
WM14: Taker vs Kane, SCSA vs HBK
WM15: Kane vs HHH, SCSA vs Rock
WM16: HHH vs Rock vs Foley vs Big Show
WM17: Taker vs HHH, SCSA vs Rock
WM18: Taker vs Flair, Rock vs Hogan, HHH vs Jericho
WM19: HBK vs Jericho, Rock vs SCSA
WM20: Cena vs Big Show, Christian vs Jericho, Goldberg vs Lesnar, Taker vs Kane, Batista/Orton/Flair vs Foley/Rock
WM21: Taker vs Orton, Cena vs JBL, Batista vs HHH
WM22: Cena vs HHH
WM23: Taker vs Batista, Cena vs HBK
WM24: HBK vs Flair, Orton vs HHH vs Cena, Taker vs Edge
WM25: Taker vs HBK, Cena vs Edge vs Big Show, HHH vs Orton
WM26: Jericho vs Edge, Cena vs Batista, Taker vs HBK
WM27: Taker vs HHH, Miz vs Cena, Edge vs Del Rio
WM28: Kane vs Orton, Taker vs HHH, Rock vs Cena
WM29: HHH vs Brock, Cena vs Rock, CM Punk vs Taker

That's all the matches you can make with that roster. Certainly will be more, but that'll be using the current roster. Plus I probably missed a couple.

...I need to get out more.

WM1: None.

With Corey L into charge, I'll bet WM1 will be your CAW against King Kong Bundy (recreating Bundy beating S.D. Jones). Of course, this time, you have to beat Bundy in less time than it took Bundy to beat Jones if you want to unlock anything.

Jake got a LOT of Mania paydays. When I was going through the lists, there were so many cases of "<x> match could have been included, but Jake isn't on the list".

The Ricks Martel and Rude too.

Maybe if we're lucky, there'll be an unlockable mode for additional non main event matches like the Off Script mode from last year.

They could gimmick the blind fold match by randomizing the left control stick until you hit the other player or the ring.

Yeah, you missed CM Punk/Taker from the last Wrestlemania and Edge/Del Rio from Wrestlemania 27(and looking at the roster this is the only possible Del Rio match so it's in there for sure)

The Ryback model looks ALOT better than the one they first showed in screencaps but they all models still have that awful 'clothing is painted on' look, DB's jacket looks crap and Ryback's front-&-back double cape looks absolutely terrible the way it sticks to him when he does his angry arm lifts. Macho Man's cape looks alright though.

e; The Cena entrance is not correct, he needs to toss the title into the ring before he slides in
