@@TheGoman21 No, it wasn't... Smackdown vs Raw's Ultimate Control was trash, WWE 2K's Lift and Carry is much better... That's just a fact... I'm just pointing out the old games didn't have all the answers, nor the technology to do what we can today, but I did enjoy Slobber Knocker... However, without JR, since it doesn't seem right without him, since he's in AEW, I don't think it's coming back...

I think they should find a way to be able to link to your Spotify or UA-cam music subscription. Since there whole idea of ripping CDs to the hard drive is out the window.
Absolutely baffles me that they just can't seem to keep Special Referee in as a permanent patch type. It was in the game during the PS1 days, then removed, put back in, and removed again. Why is it so hard to keep this match type in permanently?
McMahon???? There's no rhyme nor reason to the guy, but doesn't he have final say on who AND what is in his games???? I imagine he probably forgot they actually had Special Guest Referee.🤷♂️
@@dynamo4543 Fairly certain he does... They're games based off his product... Whatever the case may be, it ain't happening unless he says, or someone from WWE 2K address it.🤷♂️
2K doesn’t care about their games just like their NBA series, they’re just focused on getting the same game put out every year. With barely any differences, we need a company that knows wrestling and cares about it.
Yes, I agree with weapons in the crowd, but what do you mean entrances with weapons??? Would they have to reanimate every entrance in the game for the sake of having weapons in their hand??? No, that is completely unnecessary, but the ONLY person I can see having a special entrance with a weapon is Cactus Jack adoring his Barbie and Sting already has his bat... So, no, I don't think the rest of the roster needs it... Nope.
@Bubba Sawyer That's why they need to implement both, and let the player choose between a proper option of either Arcade or Simulation. Make the arcade mode more like HCTP though where it's mindless fun and super fast paced.
The term sim wrestling game is an oxymoron. Wrestling is scripted so trying to make a wrestling game "realistic" is stupid. Wrestling is about the theatrical aspect so making it more arcade like is more authentic
Fact check: 2K14 is only considered a 2K game because THQ split from Yukes right before the game came out and 2K bought Yukes. 2K14 was a 100% Yukes/THQ build with the 2K stamp on it. The first true 2K game was 2K15. That's why it was so bare bones compared to all the previous Yukes/THQ entries.
My CAW: *having discussions about what they're going to do before the match they're about to participate in with some fuckface booker* Me: "Why am I doing this to myself?"
I imagine in general developers are trying to avoid making a "perfect" game? Like if they make a perfect game, then where they going to go? Why would anybody want to buy the next one?
I miss the ability to import your own theme music. It made creating a wrestler awesome. The only thing that was missing at the time was importing titantron walls. These games have regressed a lot.
Create a Finisher & The ability to add custom music in Create an Entrance were the BEST ones removed. If Sony and Microsoft would get on the same page on this one.. I would love to see WWE allow custom move sets and in-game entrance music of those who didn't make the cut on the roster as well as former superstars.

2:09, I still play WWE 2K14 and me and my twin been having fun with the story mode, and since we’re older we now know what to do and it’s actually comes out somewhat good
I hated how back in the days, they started to restrict divas from playing certain matches, it was so shit because I loved playing as the divas and it got worse because at some point you could only have 4 divas in the ring 😑 and you couldn’t even do any matches other than normal pinfall matches
I remember happy playing SVR 06,07,08 for GM Mode then I'm excited for SVR 2009 but I'm disappointed 😞 NO GM MODE, the reason I love gm mode because you will think all the popularity rosters, storyline every PPV, promotion and Cash to save the contract of superstars, well budget cut very rare 😂
The minigames for pinning and submissions that were introduced in some 2k gane were sooooo much better than just the "mash buttons" method. In all the old games, you could see when a match was gunna end because the wrestler would be totally immobile flat on the mat,and if someone pinned you when you were in that state, it was impossible to kick out. The analogue minigames mean that you always have a chance to kick out or break the hold. That is definitely the best thing 2k did
I never knew about being able to climb the smackdown fist or the KOR chair until a few years ago and I've been doing it ever since I've had friends over that didn't know about it and when I climbed the fist they were confused but yet stunned that such a thing was possible
Another option I miss is while on the Road to Wrestlemania storyline for Smackdown vs Raw 2011 is to just walk around wherever and go into whatever room or area you wanted to and just Beat up whoever Wrestler you saw as a Threat to you onto the top and jump into a Backstage Match and just Brawl whoever you just picked on or saw as a Threat meaning Competition and just have Random matches whenever you wanted and in WWE 2k18, 2K19, and especially WWE 2K20 that option is gone, that is what I want back, especially the Bar room Brawl Match that was in Smackdown vs. Raw 2006 on PS2, hopefully those two options are back in the Wrestling games
I really miss the create a finisher mode, it was more fun that each of my original character have their own named finishers with custom moves instead of just choosing other superstar move.
GM mode was removed cause they didn't want fans to question the WWE and how they treat their wrestlers. During 2008 there was a lot going on in the WWE and many stars were unhappy about how things were being managed.
The two best features ever were road to wrestlemania mode and slobberknocker mode.. would be nice if they didnt make the showcase mode so frustrating..
Just-A-Cory Right, WWE2K14 was the last game I ever bought because after that they decided to go with slow paced realism and remove good features, like I still play 2K14 to this day and I still create new characters, it holds up pretty well
WWF No Mercy: Gameplay WWE SM Shut your mouth: stage climbing WWE SvR 2008: Last time GM mode was included and has ECW legends WWE SvR 2011: best weapon physics in wrestling games WWE 2k14: Alot of create features and huge roster , many legends, big n.w.o. dlc
1. Create a story 2. Create a finisher 3. GM mode 4. Special guest referee 5. Playing royal rumble & elimination chamber in different arenas 6. Slobberknocker
I don't know when it was removed, but character specific movement and stances in the ring were a nice touch to Just Bring It and Shut Your Mouth. Maybe not every single person, but having more variety
Also, in-game unlockable content, instead of DLC or having every wrestler at the ready. I get why DLC is an option ($$$), but it was more fun to unlock different wrestlers and venues during Story Mode or different game modes, like a Survival Mode
I always loved the create a finisher lol. Maybe that gets a lot of hate because it was introduced in a time when the series slowly began to decline (svr09) but i loved making finishers back in the day
I remember one of the games and hardcore street fights when you were fighting in the streets of New York you could climb up on two different levels and jump off of it and climb on cars on the street
They need to bring back the match type that you had to put a title on the line and it had I don't remember how many in the match but when someone got pinned they became champ and whomever was champ when time expired was the winner
6:41 I imagine table physics have changed with having to build up a red bar before putting your opponent through a table in Table Match now... I can kind understand, because I did hate how before you could win Table Matches off one move, very little effort to win those matches... I figure, that's why tables aren't easy to break anymore, as it would make Table Matches last a little longer having to fill up that red meter, before you can put your opponent through the table, right????
How about a Shut Your Mouth/Here Comes The Pain style of season mode where you play every week on Raw and on PPVs with many storylines and options that can branch and get you different endings depending on whether you win or lose a match?
Would love to see the Career mode from SVR 2010. The Brian Kendrick was just a spec in the HBK storyline, but I sure as hell was happy he wasn't cut , with London and Spanky being my favourite tag team all time (then Motor City Machine Gun, now The Hybrid 2 from AEW/AAA,) so I took Spanky through the career mode and built his stats and won some titles, like he should have had a world heavyweight title for longer than a minute in a gd scramble match. Would love if they brought back Career with some random cut scenes ala Universe Mode, which I don't play anymore, because it's more the same every year and more of a chore than fun like it was in the past.
I'd like it for universe mode if they had more than the 3 generic crowd reactions for all wrestlers. Give us massive pops for big faces and violent sounding booing IE pre head of the Table roman or Shawn Michaels in Montreal for big heels.
The 'counter' system in the 2k games ruins ALL of the fun. Miss that 0.2 second counter before you get hit or grappled? Lose to Heath Slater as the Undertaker.
JoyDeparted I hate the counter system bro that crap is soooo delayed it irks me and I hate pinning system now with that stupid circle, call me crazy but I miss when I had to rack the controller to get out of a pin fall it meant more
I love the current submission systems in the new games. They're perfect imo. Makes it more interesting and realistic. The old submission systems in the late svr games and the breaking point submissions felt like it was too easy to submit. I like the current system.
Best Wrestling Games by Console: PS1: WWF Smackdown! 2: Know Your Role. N64: WWF No Mercy. PS2: WWE Smackdown! Here Comes The Pain. XBox: Legends of Wrestling 2. PS3/ XBox 360: Smackdown! vs Raw 2010. PS4/XBox One: WWE 2K19. All of these game were loaded with features which made them great.
One of the reasons why SmackDown HCTP is the best ...is u can use weapons as much as you can , without using them only 4 shoots...you can beat to death your opponent with Steal Chair or Ladder or Sledgehammer . It was soo much fun
And people wonder why I play my Playstation 2, Original Xbox and Gamecube still as old as hell as those consoles are. People say "Upgrade. That shit you're still playing is old. Get a PS4!" WWE games have been awful since 2K took over. They're too realistic these days to point that the they're just not fun anymore. You'll get bored in 10 minutes tops. People try to shame others for playing old games. There are people still playing Goldeneye 007 on the frigging Nintendo 64 (an old console) and that game has been around since '97 when it was originally released. People are still playing that game to this day and I get shamed for playing the Nintendo Gamecube still!? Give me a break!
Last game I bought was wwe 12. Now they try to make the games so realistic that it even takes away the fun. Even in the royal rumble match sometimes it takes years for the character to just walk into the ring. If the games were designed like HCTP or Svr 2006 they would still be fun to play.
They also removed the part where you can climb over the barricade and fight in there area where you can smash your opponent into the stereo and climb up it and jump and put him through a table.....also grabbing fans signs
As much as I want to see it come back, I don't see how they bring GM Mode back. It was more realistic in earlier titles and would of actually worked until around 2k19. In the earlier titles we had Teddy long for smackdown likewise with Bischoff for RAW. But in current state of wwe, we don't have any per say general managers.
You already have Universe Mode which is better than GM Mode ever was Climbing The stage would also be unrealistic given the focus on realism. It was also impractical in those games as well and you wouldn't use it if you were trying to win. Submissions: I'd argue the current submission system works the best. I'd argue the best submission system is the one that encourages interplay between parties and is balanced and only the recent 2k games have done that. Here Comes the Pain had both parties button mash which got boring. SVR07 introduced a timing minigame which didn't have any real interplay between players. '08 onwards had the struggle system which traded who was in control so no real interplay (and it could be broken with the Submission ability). The 2k's chasing system is the only one so far I feel hits all the criteria. This system works by having a circle where players have their own line that grows depending on the health of the defender. Defenders need to avoid the attacker's line to empty the submission meter allowing an escape. Attackers need to keep on the defender's line to fill up said meter to make a submission. Both parties can find a pick-up orb to give them a huge boost and use their stamina to make their line move faster. I like this system because even at their worst, defenders still have a fighting chance, there's a lot of interplay as both parties have to respond to each other, there are mind games and ways to psych players out. So being able to hold onto ropes would be unfair to the defender MyCareer and Showcase are a thing. And older games' weren't that unique with cutscenes. The Buried Alive Matches in past games was boring though
I would like to see a top 10 video of the top ten fictional characters in wrestling Video games such as Sharman, Barron Blade , Suicide ext. Www 2k games have had a few in all the series!
Create your own finisher was easily the best feature in any of the games! The crazy shit you could do was just so much fun and till this day it’s hard to pick your finisher because you can’t create it.
I know everyone feels GM Mode being removed was the worst knock to the series and I do agree. But for me I’ll always feel burnt at Create a Story being removed. I’ve sent hours on that mode just making stories that I wouldn’t even fully play but it was just so much fun to make your own story. You had so much damn freedom over it, camera angles, team betrayals, cash-ins etc. hell one camera angle change and a cutscene could be used for purposes outside of what was originally intended. These developers just need to stop removing content and instead focus on perfecting it.
@@kinginconsistent That's on MS and Sony for removing the custom music feature in current gen. No other current gen multiplatform games use the feature either, so clearly no one found a way to have it
They really need to bring back custom music idk why they removed it when they made 2K18 for next gen makes no sense considering how much they had it in the smackdown vs raw series like brah
They should add the music of Legends and Hall of Famers that are not in the game. WWE owns the theme music and with the amount of CAWS people do it would be awesome.

1 being the ability to fight anywhere like here comes the pain
2 fight on the steps in the crowd
Special Referee mode was only removed on the next gen consoles. It appeared until the last gen’s WWE 2K17.
Another option I miss is while on the Road to Wrestlemania storyline for Smackdown vs Raw 2011 is to just walk around wherever and go into whatever room or area you wanted to and just Beat up whoever Wrestler you saw as a Threat to you onto the top and jump into a Backstage Match and just Brawl whoever you just picked on or saw as a Threat meaning Competition and just have Random matches whenever you wanted and in WWE 2k18, 2K19, and especially WWE 2K20 that option is gone, that is what I want back, especially the Bar room Brawl Match that was in Smackdown vs. Raw 2006 on PS2, hopefully those two options are back in the Wrestling games
They need these back
A good feature I'd like to see return: playability.
Underrated comment 😂😂😂
I want abillty
Every time i see him mentioned, i have to go back and search for MRRRRRRRR Kennedy....Kennedy
Holding the submission was so cool
I really miss the create a finisher mode, it was more fun that each of my original character have their own named finishers with custom moves instead of just choosing other superstar move.
Love your videos! You're doing an amazing job
GM mode was removed cause they didn't want fans to question the WWE and how they treat their wrestlers. During 2008 there was a lot going on in the WWE and many stars were unhappy about how things were being managed.
You forgot the badass portion of here comes the pain where you could go to Madison square garden and climb up 2 stories and nose dive into traffic.
The two best features ever were road to wrestlemania mode and slobberknocker mode.. would be nice if they didnt make the showcase mode so frustrating..
" less simplified and less fun.." this is why everything after 2k14 sucks
Just-A-Cory Right, WWE2K14 was the last game I ever bought because after that they decided to go with slow paced realism and remove good features, like I still play 2K14 to this day and I still create new characters, it holds up pretty well
True. However, 2K19 was actually pretty good, IMO.
@@maximillionroivas3893 Its too slow paced and I cant do any crazy spots like we used to be able to
@@doctordeath9336 IT IS I was able to get atleast 10 of my friends who didnt care for wwe to play thw gane and enjoy all it so much
Maximillion Roivas 2K19 is the best WWE game of this console generation, but the funny thing is, that’s not saying much.
they keep removing fun every year...
Really shows how 2K took away all the fun
Who remembers that one where you could throw someone off a building?
WWF No Mercy: Gameplay
WWE SM Shut your mouth: stage climbing
WWE SvR 2008: Last time GM mode was included and has ECW legends
WWE SvR 2011: best weapon physics in wrestling games
WWE 2k14: Alot of create features and huge roster , many legends, big n.w.o. dlc
No mercy was my absolute favorite wresteling game ever. It was the last one I REALLY played.
The breaking point submission system was underrated
I liked it
1. Create a story
2. Create a finisher
3. GM mode
4. Special guest referee
5. Playing royal rumble & elimination chamber in different arenas
6. Slobberknocker
That intro music was amazing!!!
I don't know when it was removed, but character specific movement and stances in the ring were a nice touch to Just Bring It and Shut Your Mouth. Maybe not every single person, but having more variety
Also, in-game unlockable content, instead of DLC or having every wrestler at the ready. I get why DLC is an option ($$$), but it was more fun to unlock different wrestlers and venues during Story Mode or different game modes, like a Survival Mode
I always loved the create a finisher lol. Maybe that gets a lot of hate because it was introduced in a time when the series slowly began to decline (svr09) but i loved making finishers back in the day
One thing that I've always wanted is a different selection menu for all the WrestleMania arenas..with the latest one added every year...
BEST WRESTLING GAMING CHANNEL. HANDS DOWN
I remember one of the games and hardcore street fights when you were fighting in the streets of New York you could climb up on two different levels and jump off of it and climb on cars on the street
Best thing they removed was the 30 minute hardcore time limit match!
They need to bring back the match type that you had to put a title on the line and it had I don't remember how many in the match but when someone got pinned they became champ and whomever was champ when time expired was the winner
You can recreate that match type in 2K19 and 2K20.
You can recreate that match type in 2K19 and 2K20.

6:41 I imagine table physics have changed with having to build up a red bar before putting your opponent through a table in Table Match now... I can kind understand, because I did hate how before you could win Table Matches off one move, very little effort to win those matches... I figure, that's why tables aren't easy to break anymore, as it would make Table Matches last a little longer having to fill up that red meter, before you can put your opponent through the table, right????
Custom entrance songs you can add a feature to where 2K21 reads and syncs you USB music list and allows you to use your own music as entrance music
How about a Shut Your Mouth/Here Comes The Pain style of season mode where you play every week on Raw and on PPVs with many storylines and options that can branch and get you different endings depending on whether you win or lose a match?
Would love to see the Career mode from SVR 2010. The Brian Kendrick was just a spec in the HBK storyline, but I sure as hell was happy he wasn't cut , with London and Spanky being my favourite tag team all time (then Motor City Machine Gun, now The Hybrid 2 from AEW/AAA,) so I took Spanky through the career mode and built his stats and won some titles, like he should have had a world heavyweight title for longer than a minute in a gd scramble match. Would love if they brought back Career with some random cut scenes ala Universe Mode, which I don't play anymore, because it's more the same every year and more of a chore than fun like it was in the past.
I'd like it for universe mode if they had more than the 3 generic crowd reactions for all wrestlers. Give us massive pops for big faces and violent sounding booing IE pre head of the Table roman or Shawn Michaels in Montreal for big heels.
The 'counter' system in the 2k games ruins ALL of the fun.
Miss that 0.2 second counter before you get hit or grappled? Lose to Heath Slater as the Undertaker.
JoyDeparted I hate the counter system bro that crap is soooo delayed it irks me and I hate pinning system now with that stupid circle, call me crazy but I miss when I had to rack the controller to get out of a pin fall it meant more
@@TheFamousLife4Me Exactly bro! and tapping X to get up faster rather than just letting the Computer stomp my head in after the dumbest failed counter
Casket matches, Inferno matches, Buried Alive matches and Street fights.
I love the current submission systems in the new games. They're perfect imo. Makes it more interesting and realistic. The old submission systems in the late svr games and the breaking point submissions felt like it was too easy to submit. I like the current system.
Best Wrestling Games by Console: PS1: WWF Smackdown! 2: Know Your Role. N64: WWF No Mercy. PS2: WWE Smackdown! Here Comes The Pain. XBox: Legends of Wrestling 2. PS3/ XBox 360: Smackdown! vs Raw 2010. PS4/XBox One: WWE 2K19. All of these game were loaded with features which made them great.
4:00 lol bubba vs Devon..
One of the reasons why SmackDown HCTP is the best ...is u can use weapons as much as you can , without using them only 4 shoots...you can beat to death your opponent with Steal Chair or Ladder or Sledgehammer . It was soo much fun
If Visual Concepts doesn’t watch and listen maybe the good people at Syn Sophia will.
And people wonder why I play my Playstation 2, Original Xbox and Gamecube still as old as hell as those consoles are. People say "Upgrade. That shit you're still playing is old. Get a PS4!" WWE games have been awful since 2K took over. They're too realistic these days to point that the they're just not fun anymore. You'll get bored in 10 minutes tops. People try to shame others for playing old games. There are people still playing Goldeneye 007 on the frigging Nintendo 64 (an old console) and that game has been around since '97 when it was originally released. People are still playing that game to this day and I get shamed for playing the Nintendo Gamecube still!? Give me a break!
Last game I bought was wwe 12. Now they try to make the games so realistic that it even takes away the fun. Even in the royal rumble match sometimes it takes years for the character to just walk into the ring. If the games were designed like HCTP or Svr 2006 they would still be fun to play.
I'm watching your channel since a week and I love your videos!
They also removed the part where you can climb over the barricade and fight in there area where you can smash your opponent into the stereo and climb up it and jump and put him through a table.....also grabbing fans signs
As much as I want to see it come back, I don't see how they bring GM Mode back. It was more realistic in earlier titles and would of actually worked until around 2k19. In the earlier titles we had Teddy long for smackdown likewise with Bischoff for RAW. But in current state of wwe, we don't have any per say general managers.
I miss the weapon physics the most.
They should bring back intergender matches.
Agreed I want to beat up Brock Lesnar as Sasha Banks or something
@@rescuerex7031 Yeah! :)
This fire burns 8bit lool👌
Fulfil your fantasy matches need to come back
You already have Universe Mode which is better than GM Mode ever was
Climbing The stage would also be unrealistic given the focus on realism. It was also impractical in those games as well and you wouldn't use it if you were trying to win.
Submissions: I'd argue the current submission system works the best. I'd argue the best submission system is the one that encourages interplay between parties and is balanced and only the recent 2k games have done that. Here Comes the Pain had both parties button mash which got boring. SVR07 introduced a timing minigame which didn't have any real interplay between players. '08 onwards had the struggle system which traded who was in control so no real interplay (and it could be broken with the Submission ability). The 2k's chasing system is the only one so far I feel hits all the criteria. This system works by having a circle where players have their own line that grows depending on the health of the defender. Defenders need to avoid the attacker's line to empty the submission meter allowing an escape. Attackers need to keep on the defender's line to fill up said meter to make a submission. Both parties can find a pick-up orb to give them a huge boost and use their stamina to make their line move faster. I like this system because even at their worst, defenders still have a fighting chance, there's a lot of interplay as both parties have to respond to each other, there are mind games and ways to psych players out.
So being able to hold onto ropes would be unfair to the defender
MyCareer and Showcase are a thing. And older games' weren't that unique with cutscenes.
The Buried Alive Matches in past games was boring though
I would like to see a top 10 video of the top ten fictional characters in wrestling Video games such as Sharman, Barron Blade , Suicide ext. Www 2k games have had a few in all the series!
Plainly stated, they made the new games too real and took out all of the fun
#1 in my book is the removal of backstage free roam/interactivity with other wrestlers
I don’t get why they don’t make that
Create your own finisher was easily the best feature in any of the games! The crazy shit you could do was just so much fun and till this day it’s hard to pick your finisher because you can’t create it.
I know everyone feels GM Mode being removed was the worst knock to the series and I do agree.
But for me I’ll always feel burnt at Create a Story being removed. I’ve sent hours on that mode just making stories that I wouldn’t even fully play but it was just so much fun to make your own story. You had so much damn freedom over it, camera angles, team betrayals, cash-ins etc. hell one camera angle change and a cutscene could be used for purposes outside of what was originally intended.
These developers just need to stop removing content and instead focus on perfecting it.
The GM Mode example in the baclground was gore & Perkins
I miss doing diving attacks from atop the SmackDown fist.
At the time we had to figure this out on our own
CUSTOM ENTRANCE MUSIC!!!
Man I miss it so much
At least this one wasn't the developer's fault
KoaMa how so? They could find a way
Not to sound cunty
@@kinginconsistent That's on MS and Sony for removing the custom music feature in current gen. No other current gen multiplatform games use the feature either, so clearly no one found a way to have it
They really need to bring back custom music idk why they removed it when they made 2K18 for next gen makes no sense considering how much they had it in the smackdown vs raw series like brah
I do miss special guest ref match and alot of others like buried alive and casket and inferno and i miss climbing the titan tron
They need to return the voice acting for the wwe superstars like how they there voices
They should add the music of Legends and Hall of Famers that are not in the game. WWE owns the theme music and with the amount of CAWS people do it would be awesome.
