It was somewhere between happy... + Total f#+Ng wreck! I'm forced to Wonder if it had anything to do with the entrance themes not being mixed in, although I always missed slow chemical once they did away with it
2007 for me is the best SVR game. It is the game that made slight adjustments from what we had until SVR 2006 which is fast paced gaming. 2007 did just fine. My favorite feature of 2007 is the ultimate control, I didn’t even do my basic grappling moves, I just spammed Ultimate Control moves lol. The thing about 2k is the graphics are great and suits the evolution of gaming. Unfortunately, the engine sucks. Wrestlers move like robots and the wrestlers collide with each other awkwardly.
It is to this day the ultimate wrestling game for me. I hold SVR 07 in even higher regard than HCTP. 06 was fantastic too but SVR's adjustments to the control scheme and Ultimate Control has me coming back to it more often via emulators. Also, best soundtrack in any wrestling game. Not a single track I'd ever skip. 😀
2007 had one more awesome detail. An "adrenaline rush" mechanic that allowed you to lift one weight class higher than you normally could when your momentum meter was full. That enabled heavyweights to use power moves on Great Khali for brief bursts till the meter went back to normal either by timing out or using a finisher
@@declangaming24 I always play as a "heroic" (meaning characters that look and move like the main hero of an action movie) looking powerhouse in season mode, usually a CAW, so playing as a slow ultra heavyweight like Khali was never going to be fun for me
@@declangaming24 He *was*. Not arguing about him being OP at all. No selling strikes even from heavyweights isn't a joke. Just not my style, that's all. I like having both strength and speed like how HCTP allowed you to max out both

Back when games weren’t solely corporate products One gripe in 2k23 is that the announcers do not stfu for certain entrances. It’s so annoying to hear them talk before Cena, Taker, or Triole H come out like they would do in real life at times.
SVR 2011 was the first one to have the same team on all brands. Ring announcers depending on the brand were a thing also up until 2K14. In 2K14, we had Justin Roberts for RAW, and Tony Chimel for SmackDown.
Man SVR2007 gameplay was unrivaled imo. The amount of variety you get with your matches was insane. I really miss that as now a days the games are more limited as far as interacting with environment, in-ring storytelling, and player control.
2K23 is great, and if they continue to add onto the foundation with features from older games. It will reach GOAT status one day. For now SVR 07 imo is the best Wrestling Game ever made. While there are other GOAT tier games to me they don't hit as hard as 07 does.
Mix that up with svr 2011 with today's graphics... A season mode that lets you be a manager... I would put triple threat tag team tlc matches... Different strategies to raise the momentum depending if your a heel or baby face, more cinematics added to universe mode... In wwe2k14 there's literally less of them
@@kendarius23 Thank you bruh! I only bought it for the showcase mode and John Cena’s attires bc they look absolutely fire 🔥🔥🔥 immediately after I went back to modding and playing WWE 2K14! Check out the modding content for that game on my channel bro
Only two complaints I had in 2007: Pinning moves getting replaced with generic moves in non pinning situations and having the same season mode for both Raw as well as Smackdown, especially if you used a CAW
That was 2008. 2007 had different storylines for RAW and SmackDown and they trade you to the other brand when they need to loop it. SVR 2008 had the same storylines for both brands, but they just switched up the superstars depending on the brand you were in at the time.
@@OfficialGroundZxro 2007 went into an endless loop as well. Only the first Wrestlemania storyline for RAW superstars was exclusive to them, otherwise you kept getting traded back and forth and had the same story arcs over and over
They dont ever have Batista's rope shake in the games but at least then, I would just use that ultimate control in that clip right after the Spinebuster and before the thumbs up/down taunt.
1. The crowd part made me sad 2. How is the choosing commentary teams option not a thing 3. The cage door should always been a thing because in what match have anyone broke the the cell wall just to get out 4. Customized locker room should be a thing in 2k 5. Choking someone with a cable would be cool in modern games
Damn, this was 15 years ago and holds up well. Although the graphics have obviously improved in WWE2k23 it's not exactly in a mind blowing way, considering the 15 year difference!
2007: Batistabomb Lita through the announce table for the win. 2023: You accidentally pushed Lita down when she was at ringside... disqualification! So much for women being taken more seriously in the modern day, huh? 😂😂
And wish there was more to do in the crowd. Idk how they can't manage a bigger backstage, weapon grapples, more stiff to interact with in the crowd, and better blood spread. Wwe 2k23 is a fun game though in my opinion. P.s. I forgot how cool the story was using actual non created superstars and the custom locker room. I'll never know why so many years later all this stuff got taken out. Not like they dont have the resources.. if they just add back how big backstage was. That would make it so much more fun.
2K23 looks great, but the backstage is one of the most disappointing I've played in a WWE game. Even No Mercy on the N64 had a better/more interactive backstage area.
One of the things that can directly be compared is the grappling system. Both games have an initial grapple system but 07 does it better. In 2K23 there's only 1 animation, the collar and elbow tie up 👎 In SVR07 you could perform 4 different initial grapples that lead to more moves and more animations. Collar and elbow, arm wringer, knee to gut, and front face lock Doing big moves from a collar & Elbow makes no sense in terms of realism, but that's your only choice in 23
@@wingedhussar1453 No. Collar and Elbow is only done in the beginning of matches when both Wrestlers agree to engage in a test of positioning and strength. It's not a means to perform big maneuvers. It would also be insane to perform it while someone is dazed. Seeing as they both need to initiate it at the same time.
@Smooth Realism and thts why 4 set up grapples is even more ridiculous. However you want to take it the way 23 is more realstic then older games of 4 difrent grapple set ups. Most moves after initial coolar and elbow turn into combos etc
@@wingedhussar1453 In Pro Wrestling like WWE in real life.... Collar and Elbow lock up are not performed to set up big moves and strikes. In SVR07 Collar and Elbow was 1 of 4 initial grapples that you had A CHOICE to perform, in order to access specific moves. But the other 3 initial grapples were more believable and were realistic ways to set up moves and and strikes.
@Smooth Realism stil in a match after the initial lockup whatever it is you don't use that as a set up to moves at all after. It's usually just punches and groggy state that transition to moves so in a sense old games were not realstic
Things that should make sense in 2K23 if the devs would have bothered: - Crowd Area Interactions (including climbing the scaffolding just to make high dives - Intergender matches (we have Chyna and Rhea Ripley beating men, and I wanna see this again). - Elimination Chamber Finisher dives - Ultimate Grapples (for controls) - Hell in a Cell door opening (not chained) - Ripping up crowd signs - Complaining to the referee (especially if you have a superstar who happens to be a Karen) - Leaning ladders on another ladder - Ignoring the referee. - Climbing announcers table (I missed this so much). What wouldn't make sense in WWE 2k23 today: - spinner belt (I know spinning is cool but not anymore :( ) - locker rooms (don't need this necessarily unless it has season mode) - Season mode (the game is focused mostly on WWE history than making your own Season mode (Universe is actually a sandbox but it's hard to execute the "season mode" style)) - multiple backstage areas (too much work to do but need more interactive objects though) Also, SVR 2007 is better than WWE 2K23 in terms of mechanics. But would still love to have them in the most recent WWE games.
Some svr 2011 moves.. you could drag opponents by the legs and to the ring post to make them the most painful move ever 😂 Also triple threat tag team tlc matches... It's that hard?
I miss the SvR series. 2k23 is really good. Just wish they had a Backstage like Smackdown here comes the pain. Or 2k19.. also I forgot until finishing this video all the stuff you could do. Like ultimate control moves. Actually opening the Hell in a cell door. Like i said 2k23 is fun. I just don't understand why they took out so many features with today's technology and everything else.. I'm not game creator so maybe there is a good reason idk. Even the little things like climbing announcement tables, getting weapons from the crowd, the season mode, and ripping crowd signs. The little things made it so cool
Svr 2007 has one thing that is better than almost every game It has a final boss lvl character Yes i am talking about great khali Khali is the only superstar in the game with a ultra heavyweight class to the point even undertaker cant lift him Fighting khali in normal mode is already a pain in the ass but if you fight him in legend mode,boi that's truly a hellish match
I hate how they took out leaning ladders you can lean the ladder on the ropes to jump out but you can’t lean the ladder from outside the ring to jump in or on the ladder 🤦🏾♂️
Hopefully 2K24 will have more blood and more features like other previously released WWE games-I’m going to pass up on 2K23…and maybe buy it once it goes down in price, big maybe
Which Wwe game was it that actually showed the affects of the injured part… like if you injured the leg and the person ran they would fall due to having been severely damaged
We were content with not being able to edit superstar attires because theres so many good features in the game that holds up today. My only complaint is the ring bell sound effect from the older svr games 😂
Fighting in the parking garage or fighting outside of WWE would have been a big ass upgrade in 2022 and 2023 and that running up the ladder you can't even do that in the new games
Wow all these years of loving and playing this game and I didn’t even know that you could grab and rip up crowd signs. Or maybe I just forgot but I remember everything else that made this game one the best that they ever made! I wish they’d bring back a lot of details and features they used to have into the new games with modern graphics.
When comes to career/season mode, my favorite would be WWE Smackdown Shut your mouth. Probably due to better free roam, less restricted in how you want to do the story....
Honestly 2K needs to take some notes from THQ gameplay wise they failed detail wise they exceeded expectations because how the hell does the spinner belt not spin make it make sense in 2023
They probably decided to follow the era when the center plate was fixed and no longer spun. Still doesn't justify using the static "spinner" belt for the era when it was still a spinning one
1.bring it back. 2.bring it back. 3.bring it back i've been saying this for ten years well 13 so yeah bring this back but i the divas to bleed at the head like the superstars do. because when they took it away it really angered me,because in real life the divas were in matches with the guys like the royal rumble,remember when beth phoenix eliminated the great khali? and it has angered me that they took it away because i couldn't punish the divas i didn't like and thats why i want intergender matches back. 4.yeah bring it back. 5.oh yeah for real bring those back. 6.yeah i miss the door,bring it back. 7.yeah bring it back. 8.bring it back. 9.bring it back also caws/caw divas need to be used here as well. 10.oh yeah bring it back. 11.bring it back 12.bring it back 13.bring it back,what made this one special is as the special ref is that you can attack people for as long as you want without a real ref showing up and removing you,i want this back. 14.bring back. 15.bring it back. 16.bring back. 17.bring it back. 18.bring it back. i also want to add bring back custom made finishers/signatures and you can give them custom names as well,bring back custom made title belts as well and you can give them names as well,bring back custom made wrestling arena/rings and you can give them names as well. also bring back tossig your opponents over the ropes during the inferno matches and make the fire show up on them and bring back the degree counter that tells you how hot it is. please understand that i loved wwe2k14 it was the last great wrestling game because it had so much that you could do but those 18 things i sure do miss and i want them back plus all those extras that i want back. i blame wwe2k15 and beyond on why the games suck now and i can't stand it anymore this why i want the next game to be titled wwe2k24 40 years of wrestlemania because if wwe2k14 was wwe2k14 30 years of wrestlemanina well then wwe2k24 should be titled wwe2k24 40 years of wrestlemania and i ant everyhing that was shown here in the video pus the extras i want back for wwe2k24 40 years of wrestlemania. so spread the word and lets get this game made wwe2k24 40 years of wrestlemania made. facebook,twitter whatever you can and get these creators of these games to give us wwe2k24 40 years of wrestlemania made.
It always bothered me a lot that they made the arena is so dark until like smackdown versus Raw 2011. Everyone knows that a WWE show is well-lit with arena lights why is it so dark. It looks like the undertaker is about to come out
Number 9 you can actually do. All you have to do is create a custom attire for a wwe superstar and keep the "Use as alternate Attire" box unchecked and you can then import them into myrise as you would any custom superstar
Number 17 and 18 i want back . Doesn't even make sense why 17 hasn't returned . We still see that in wrestling alot .and the spinner championship should move even if you cant control it. Also the spinner looks so bad in 23.
Byron Saxton is an automatic L to me he’s not even doing commentary anymore so that alone makes the commentary team outdated. I wish Pat McAfee would’ve had time to do some va so he could’ve been with Michael Cole.
2K games are garbage, and if it weren't for the graphics, they wouldn't be able to stand up to the worst THQ, No Mercy, or WCW Revenge games. The principle of comparison does not exist for me between 2K trash and any wrestling game before it, and I have not missed any wrestling game since 90s. Perhaps the new AEW game will create a competition that will restore glory to the world of wrestling games.
Number 1 isn't from SmackDown VS Raw 2007, it's from SmackDown VS Raw 2008. I would have one of my female created characters wrestle her male opponents in that opened area. Also, in SmackDown VS Raw, you can do Intergender Elimination Chamber & Hell In A Matches.
2k don’t care about wrestling games like how THQ did , only way we would get a better wrestling games or basketball game if they leave 2k. 2k sucks at making games.
I can’t be the only one that misses using real superstars in season mode
Man facts
Trust me your not 😔😔😔
Wait, they force you to use a created wrestler?
@@markl5998 hell yea they do
It was the same thing with NBA 2K when they made MyPlayer into MyCareer and took away how you could play as one real NBA player during the season Smfh
Also should be added: SVR 2007 had an absolute BANGER soundtrack. There was not 1 bad song on it. Miss this game so much!
It was somewhere between happy... + Total f#+Ng wreck!

2K still misses many things that SvR series had, like the crowd interactons or parking lot backstage brawl with various car interactions
and a true GM mode / season mode
they added more features and interactions in just 1-2gb of data, and now a days game's avg size is about 50gb but got nothing except graphics

That’s because THQ made the SVR series.
HCTP - SvR07 is the golden era, especially when you consider the DOR games came out during that time period, too.
SvR2006 - 2009 were the best ones!.. Oh it’s true! It’s damn true!
You can't compared THQ & Jakks Pacific inc.'s WWE games with 2K's WWE games, 2K will never have that great build that has the Smackdown VS Raw games

They aren't trying to make it fun, but to make it realistic.
You people shouldn't search for arcade fun in simulation games. That is childish.

It’s just sad to me that a game like SVR 07 had some amazing features and 2k can’t even give those simple features in a games it’s honestly sad.
Watching the 07 gameplay gives me so much nostalgia 😢😮❤
Which Wwe game was it that actually showed the affects of the injured part… like if you injured the leg and the person ran they would fall due to having been severely damaged
i think it was svr 06
Okay that was nice made the game more realistic
We were content with not being able to edit superstar attires because theres so many good features in the game that holds up today. My only complaint is the ring bell sound effect from the older svr games 😂
Fighting in the parking garage or fighting outside of WWE would have been a big ass upgrade in 2022 and 2023 and that running up the ladder you can't even do that in the new games
SVR 2006 In PSP version the spinner belt can spin
Wow all these years of loving and playing this game and I didn’t even know that you could grab and rip up crowd signs. Or maybe I just forgot but I remember everything else that made this game one the best that they ever made! I wish they’d bring back a lot of details and features they used to have into the new games with modern graphics.
I remember watching the trailer for this when I was young. Looked so great
When comes to career/season mode, my favorite would be WWE Smackdown Shut your mouth. Probably due to better free roam, less restricted in how you want to do the story....
THIS IS WHY REALISTIC GRAPHICS NEVER BEAT FUN GRAPHICS
I was so mad playing 2k23 wen I couldn’t do my finisher off the elimination chamber .. I knew the old games let you do that
The voice fot Lita counting to 10 gave me flashbacks omg 😭🤣
Honestly 2K needs to take some notes from THQ gameplay wise they failed detail wise they exceeded expectations because how the hell does the spinner belt not spin make it make sense in 2023
They probably decided to follow the era when the center plate was fixed and no longer spun. Still doesn't justify using the static "spinner" belt for the era when it was still a spinning one
@@warmachine3974 yeah I agree
1.bring it back.
2.bring it back.
3.bring it back i've been saying this for ten years well 13 so yeah bring this back but i the divas to bleed at the head like the superstars do. because when they took it away it really angered me,because in real life the divas were in matches with the guys like the royal rumble,remember when beth phoenix eliminated the great khali? and it has angered me that they took it away because i couldn't punish the divas i didn't like and thats why i want intergender matches back.
4.yeah bring it back.
5.oh yeah for real bring those back.
6.yeah i miss the door,bring it back.
7.yeah bring it back.
8.bring it back.
9.bring it back also caws/caw divas need to be used here as well.
10.oh yeah bring it back.
11.bring it back
12.bring it back
13.bring it back,what made this one special is as the special ref is that you can attack people for as long as you want without a real ref showing up and removing you,i want this back.
14.bring back.
15.bring it back.
16.bring back.
17.bring it back.
18.bring it back.
i also want to add bring back custom made finishers/signatures and you can give them custom names as well,bring back custom made title belts as well and you can give them names as well,bring back custom made wrestling arena/rings and you can give them names as well. also bring back tossig your opponents over the ropes during the inferno matches and make the fire show up on them and bring back the degree counter that tells you how hot it is. please understand that i loved wwe2k14 it was the last great wrestling game because it had so much that you could do but those 18 things i sure do miss and i want them back plus all those extras that i want back. i blame wwe2k15 and beyond on why the games suck now and i can't stand it anymore this why i want the next game to be titled wwe2k24 40 years of wrestlemania because if wwe2k14 was wwe2k14 30 years of wrestlemanina well then wwe2k24 should be titled wwe2k24 40 years of wrestlemania and i ant everyhing that was shown here in the video pus the extras i want back for wwe2k24 40 years of wrestlemania. so spread the word and lets get this game made wwe2k24 40 years of wrestlemania made. facebook,twitter whatever you can and get these creators of these games to give us wwe2k24 40 years of wrestlemania made.
This is a good list! Kinda forgot about some of these.
Ah The Good old days
It always bothered me a lot that they made the arena is so dark until like smackdown versus Raw 2011. Everyone knows that a WWE show is well-lit with arena lights why is it so dark. It looks like the undertaker is about to come out
Number 9 you can actually do. All you have to do is create a custom attire for a wwe superstar and keep the "Use as alternate Attire" box unchecked and you can then import them into myrise as you would any custom superstar
Didn’t work when I tried any advice?
The first couple of the SVR were probably the best wwe games ever made
Nooo. No mercy is and will always be the greatest wrestling game of all time
@@jareddavulture58 that is a really good one
Another thing is the weigh class system. I loved using Khali back then because he was the most OP character
Coming from ps1 wrestling games seeing svr07 back in the day was just so jaw dropping
Last wwe game I played was SVR 2007, now I got ek23. Sometimes is good to turn the page.
Definitely miss throwing a superstar into a garbage truck and having him crushed to death on the way to the landfill.
This game shows how much better the product WWE was back then. Less gore, less ideas, safety first. It´s just not as fun anymore.
Mannn season mode was the best !!! And able to get dq when there’re touching the ropes was a small detail I miss
Number 17 and 18 i want back . Doesn't even make sense why 17 hasn't returned . We still see that in wrestling alot .and the spinner championship should move even if you cant control it. Also the spinner looks so bad in 23.
SVR made Triple H shredded and gave Stephanie some slobber knockers.
Even SVR2008 have all these things
Corey Graves in the commentary team is an automatic L for 2K23
Byron Saxton is an automatic L to me he’s not even doing commentary anymore so that alone makes the commentary team outdated. I wish Pat McAfee would’ve had time to do some va so he could’ve been with Michael Cole.
@@derrickbailey1714 The 2K series of games always get outrun by the constant change in the WWE.
Had this game as a kid. It was waaaayyyyy ahead of its time
A head of it's time? It wasn't even the best wrestling game at that time. And how can be AHEAD of its time if future games have nothing similar ?
The multiple commentators is the reason why I have SVR 2007(with Fight Night inside)and SVR 2010.
I think its a reason why all these features haven’t been added since then
Almost got excited seeing Scott Steiner in a WWE game. Then I realized it was 2K23
2k23 blood sucks. I miss the games where the opponent would be bleeding all over the mat
#19. Play as Chris Benoit
2K games are garbage, and if it weren't for the graphics, they wouldn't be able to stand up to the worst THQ, No Mercy, or WCW Revenge games.
The principle of comparison does not exist for me between 2K trash and any wrestling game before it, and I have not missed any wrestling game since 90s.
Perhaps the new AEW game will create a competition that will restore glory to the world of wrestling games.
Number 6 it’s cool how they even have how triple h and undertaker would uniquely leave the ring
TNQ will always beat 2K's ass
The spinner title nowadays doesn't even look like the spinner title, looks like they spray painted some gold onto a metallic mold of it lol
Number 1 isn't from SmackDown VS Raw 2007, it's from SmackDown VS Raw 2008. I would have one of my female created characters wrestle her male opponents in that opened area. Also, in SmackDown VS Raw, you can do Intergender Elimination Chamber & Hell In A Matches.
No that’s from 2007. Randy’s back tattoo isn’t yet finished. And RVD is in the game
2k don’t care about wrestling games like how THQ did , only way we would get a better wrestling games or basketball game if they leave 2k. 2k sucks at making games.
Only two things I miss are special referees and the season mode. I hate season mode this year. I wish it was more open and not so narrow
