The developers for the long-running WWE series, THQ, are filing for bankruptcy, but have no fears – they are still going to press ahead with a WWE 14, the sequel to last year’s Attitude Era centric WWE 13. Fortunately, their project development budget does have sufficient money allocated for development and release of the game, meaning they will be putting out at least one more brawling title for us to look forward too.
Since the seminal title in the franchise, 2000′s WWF Smackdown, we have seen 13 follow ups including Shut Your Mouth! and Here Comes The Pain before the franchise later branched out into the “Vs” series and eventually landed on the “WWE” saga.
Last year we had the return of the Attitude Era which replaced the long-standing “Road To Wrestlemania” game mode of old. Veterans like Stone Cold Steve Austin, Mike Foley (and his various personas), The Rock, The Undertaker and Kane were prominent, as was Attitude Era matches like the famed Hardcore division and the Hell In A Cell.
With WWE 14 set to be released late this year, we figured we’d take the time to conjure up a list of the ten things we’d like to see most from THQ with their latest grappling game.

Agree with all, not that bothered about the backstage bits just becauase i rarely use them but thats me.
Id like to see
a choice in controllers, in my op I think it was svr 11 that had the best controls, right stick to grapple.
more room for caw, highlight reels, you can get i think between 70-80 tag teams, that should be taken down to 30 or soemthing less than 50 at least. Id like to see maybe 80 spaces for caws and about 20 more hightlight reel/video slots.
In the ppv, customize everything, even if its a title match. Plus the ability to have say 3 brands vs eachother there in the ppv instead of just 2
more premade video types.
better online
no online achievements
more preset moveset/entrances (keep the same ones as well) Also like to see this, there Victorias entrance but not her moveset, Id like to see that put in for each character if pos
like to see some sort of storymode, general manager mode and universe mode in which you can customize everything
show everthing befor the Matches and how mony times you one the WWE
Champion and work up to the top ?wan you start get good the talk how you did like a Career Highlights it keeps up with everthing in wan you play as a Superstar to .
I want to see a better single player mode that closely resembles what NBA 2K13 has done with their single player mode. Start out as a rookie on FCW or NXT and work your way up to the RAW and/or Smackdown roster, along the way earning perks like better ring attire and entrance, a chance to design your own merchandise, a chance to take part in interviews, a role in a WWE studios movie, etc. And just like in 2K13 your choices during interviews and things like that will not only affect the path of your career but it will also have a affect on the management, fellow Superstars & Divas, and the fans. Even the Superstars and Divas you chose to associate with (maybe even date) has its consequences.
I first saw grapple interruption in SNES’s Fire Pro Wrestling series, and I’ve long thought “why don’t they include that in every game???”
Post match beatdowns would totally be awesome.
THQ’s been milking the engine with no significant gameplay improvement for too long.
iv got an idea that they should add a system in which we can hold the finisher button and until we dont leave it our player only holds his opponent in the clutch.like a rock bottom clutch and just taunt until we leave the buuton…this can be also done to perform finisher quickly..and of course your ideas should be added
I would love it if they were to mix shout your mouth and here comes the pain with the grapple system from SdvR 06
I think there should be more OMG finishers and you should have ladder finishers, table finishers, chair finishers ect. But I also think in wwe universe mode, you should be able to access wwe.com and wwe active.
it would be nice if they released a finished game. there are so many things wrong with wwe 13. in all honesty, it should’ve never been released.
-there are way too many freezes in this game
-dlc downloads delete your data (this has been happening for the past 3 games btw)
- load and save times are excessive
- universe doesn’t work this time around
- repetetive theme music that drives me crazy
- the movesets that are preloaded on the game seem like they were copied and pasted
i really still do have fun with this game, but it definitely wasn’t a completed work. i say the next wwe game should wait until the next gen consoles or maybe a portable console.
A unica coisa que queira ver,era /10 MAN TAG TEAM/
The GM mode is dead and gone witch is great cause Universe mode is Awesome! Now we need a NXT career mode, Federation Years career mode, Ruthless Aggression career mode, and Become a Legend career mode. I hope 2k skips this year and revamps the game for the New Concoles (X-box 720 & PS4) comming out and have WWE 2K’15 the folling year, cause the graphics for wrestlers in WWE’13 are crud and SvR 2008 had better wrestlers graphics, and possibly larger in game roster even before the DLC. Also less glitchs and the bugs would be worked out by then…
You will be surprised of how many people want GM Mode back. Nearly everyone i have met that are fans of the WWE games say that they want GM Mode back. I for one hate universe mode. It would be way better if its not the same cutscene time after time after time again. For example in svr2011 it was boring as hell and you could not do much. I remember playing universe mode on wwe12 with my friend and it was the same cutscene all the time and 24/7 triple threat matches and on wwe13 its the same cutscene every time. A man runs in the ring does a lou thesz press before the match even starts.
We went back to the svr07 game just to play GM Mode. A lot of people have also said that GM Mode should return. Even people who were not big fans of GM Mode say its better than most modes now. The Ruthless Aggresion carrer mode would be difficult because in that era you had kurt angle, chris benoit and jeff hardy and it will be hard to put them on the game when 2 of them are in another company and one should never be named by WWE ever again. GM Mode is not dead and gone.
I think they should bring back the backstage attacks b4 and after matches well I mean attacks anywhere in the arena and also be able to go backstage during TLC or hardcore matches and bring back all the old matches like buried alive etc also bring back the old wrestlers like Jeff hardy the dudleys and also some of the legends that have passeds away god bless them like test and others and make it that you can create a finisher from anywhere any angle even running finishers .
My opinion is that if there are many new things in create a superstar/diva ..for ex.loads of hairstyles,tatoos like wwe superstars,body shapes like superstars, and important,,more wwe superstars than wwe 13
I want the ability to do the classic 5 v 5 survivor series elimination tag match thatd b great and instead of rtw let’s have the story mode revolve around nxt those guys r awesome and would bring fresh never before seen faces to the franchise
I like to see the same CAW evolving system as it was in WWE SmackDOwn vs. Raw 2008(if i remember correctly) that u can add attribute points after every match, example my CAW has str 76 before match and i would win a match and then i can like add that str to 80 or so… hope u all understand what i mean
