The problem is that you can't get the classic commentators from these games. Gorilla Monsoon is dead, Jesse Ventura is too expensive, Jim Ross is in AEW etc.

Unless it’s HCTP music they can keep it

​@dhenderson1810 WWE 2K15 didn't get Jim Ross for the Shawn vs Hunter Showcase so they got Michael Cole to do Jim's lines. 2K has no excuses for not including commentary for the Showcase matches. Would it be inaccurate for Cole and Graves commentating over Steamboat vs Savage? Yeah but it's atleast something instead of nothing

Those and 33 for me

Imagine a wrestlemania showcase that does NOT have rock/hogan at 18, rock/austin at 19, batista/taker at 23 or Michaels/flair at 24 ... Shameful. I hope the triple threat main event from 20 made it in there. Benoit would have wiped the floor with the modern roster.

Yeah I bet Xavier Woods loves the Showcase mode

​@@richardcrew417 nobody, absolutely nobody, literally no one in this world or beyond the universe or the galaxy Xavier Woods: SLINGSHOT TECHNOLOGHY!!! 🙌🏻👏🏻

The fact that all of them were just more than 20 epic matches with a 6-8 objectives, and could be failed, and if completed could unlock BONUS matches. Was better than 20-something matches that just go through the motions where you're kinda just chored into doing certain matches, and there's not more hidden content in it just feels hollow.

That’s because the 2k14 objectives actually made sense. For example I’m looking at the objectives for Austin vs Hart and it’s stuff like throwing Austin to the turnbuckle to do the ring post figure 4, hit him with a bell, damage his legs. If you watch the match these are major moments, most of the other 2Ks don’t do that

From wrestlemania 13 they skip to 17, from 17 to 20, from 25 to 30. They skip like 3 or 5 wrestlemanias every match

FR, 2k14 had 47 MATCHES and you’re telling me 2k24 can’t have atleast 40???

Or Triple H. 1 attitude era match and 2 ruthless aggression matches that’s it

This is like reverse wwe2k15, where the showcase mode was great but the gameplay was just “okay” (unless if you played last gen version then best game)

The game itself is excellent the best 2K game I've played since 2k19. The Showcase mode at this point should've gone all out, but they just tried to get this mode over and done with. What's worst is that after this game they're simply gonna go back to the same old "get cover superstar and make a showcase about them with matches that don't matter that much cause we don't have the talent from before here" Like just put more effort into MyRise and try and make GM mode not boring as shit.

@@Ranuyasha in like 6 months from now yeah but still doesn’t excuse the fact we don’t unlock the Arenas in showcase when in reality they should be unlocked. Especially the WrestleMania 39 daytime arena 💯

Sorry for this long comment, basically here's the *TLDR: My theory as to why 2K sucks at making WWE nowadays is because 2K, well... is 2K... as in back then... during WWE 2K14 pre-era, there used to be people who actually cared about the series. Nowadays? Nope, you got a company and group of people that only have one thing in their mind... profit, just gotta make some money no matter the quality, that's only my theory, so take that with a grain of salt since it's just my take.* I agreed tbh, haven't played yet but just looking at the showcase from other's playing through KZfaq for this WrestleMania, it has the same problem that I've had with WWE 2K23 with John Cena showcase, I didn't mind Cena's showcase since I'm a new fan, but I actually agree that the criticisms that the objectives are super tedious and makes it too strict to actually enjoy the showcase, back then, my own brother told me stories of how he was able to play WWE 2K14 on the Xbox 360 years ago, and he told me how awesome it was to actually play a shit ton of matches, having the best roster at the time and to see the actual recreations of real life matches, in-game engine instead and to top it off, having simple objectives, I think the reason why 2K decided to flop this WrestleMania is because people forget this one thing that I would like to mention which is off-topic... *Bungie* The studios that made Halo series and Destiny, reason why I'm mentioning them this is because I remember hearing a guy's opinion or view of companies changing and I think this is true, back then Bungie made the best halo games because you actually had the developers and staff behind the Company actually be passionate and that cared another about the series, fast forward, you have Destiny 2, prob one of the most controversial games because of how it is handled and how poorly it is being right now... Another Studios I wanna mention is Turtle Rock Studios, that tried to make Back 4 Blood, basically Left 4 dead 3, but it failed miserably and one of the biggest reasons why, thanks to Crowbat from his video that I've remembered watching, only 6... yes... SIX people that worked on Left 4 Dead worked on Back 4 Blood, that's terrible cuz one of the things that made Left 4 Dead amazing was the fact that soo many passionate and people who has talent worked on the game, I think atleast 100+ people worked on left 4 dead, that's a big project to make an amazing game, also I could be wrong about this but it even stated in the wiki just how much people were needed to make Left 4 Dead. *"Valve has a team of over 190 people working day after day making and developing video games. Here is the Left 4 Dead team."* I think the comparison I'm trying to make is, I believe the reason why 2K is being lazy is because these aren't the same people that worked on WWE 2K14 anymore, the same game people fell in love with, instead we got people who are new and different that simply don't care about the series and only wanna make money, which is the new standard of modern gaming recently...

Yeah lazy have an 8 month window to develop 40 GOD DAMN YEARS OF WRESTLEMANIA.

@@NateDoesYT 100% THIS

​@@NateDoesYTThe thing is too, that 2K's biggest seller is the NBA series, so they put more resources into that. WWE is more an investment by 2K. If it does well, they make money. If it doesn't, then they still have NBA. I read that when THQ went under, 90% of 2K14 was completed, but not ready for sale. WWE were desperate to sell the license, as they needed the game released in two months. Most companies weren't interested. Wrestling is a niche sport, and there isn't the audience a FiFA, NBA or NFL game brings in. So apparently many companies were scared of, of meeting the same fate as THQ (eventhough the WWE series has nothing to do with THQ's closure, it was unrelated bad business decisions (such as UDraw). 2K were the only ones willing to buy the license, as, even if the series made them no money, they had NBA to fall back on, so wouldn't go broke regardless, whereas the smaller companies weren't willing to take that risk. 2K topped and tailed 2K14, polished it, and finished it, according to THQ's directives, to finish the game and get it out on sale. 2K had no creative say over 2K14, and their creative input began fully with 2K15 (which is why 2K15 was bare bones, as they stripped a lot of the stuff from THQ's games and "started over").

@@dhenderson1810 I do remember hearing that, which proves my point a bit that even so WWE 2K14 were under the 2K name, it was also still being made by Yuke's, the same people that made the SVR Series, even so they were still on 2K15 Development is like what you said on your comment, 2K had no creative due to THQ's directives and hence explains the criticisms/backlash of 2K15 at the time, lack of game modes, and glitches, etc.

Agreed. Too many WM 39 matches. Cody vs Roman would’ve sufficed. Then just give the remaining spots to something more iconic. My picks would be Savage vs DiBiase from WM 4 and Hogan vs Rock from WM 18. Honourable mention would be Yokozuna vs Bret from WM 9 with Yokozuna challenging Hogan.
