Jesus christ, a guy that never wrestles on the cover of the game. I'd rather have Cena, Miz, Ryback, Sheamus, or any other damn person under the sun who actually wrestles for a living. I know it may seem like no big deal, but he already makes Hollywood money. Wrestlers don't get payed nearly that much, so being on the cover of the game could have been a nice bonus for a guy like the ones I mentioned.

The Rock is a bigger star than all of those guys combined. Putting him on the cover would appeal to people that are not only wrestling fans, but fans of what he does outside of wrestling.

But if they don't care about wrestling would they buy a wrestling game just for the cover?

People don't buy games because who is on the cover.
The number of failed sport titles in the 90s and early 2000s are proof to that. The game sells on the WWE name alone.

Funny thing - after Raw last night, I got to playing some Universe and a storyline started up between Jeff Hardy, Ken Shamrock, and Fandango that ended with Fandango turning face and winning the WWE title. Sometimes the game just knows.

This thought just came to me (that I'm sure numerous others have had). This is assuming that Tensai is "Sweet T" in WWE '14. Seeing as how Sweet T's primary dance move is that digging motion, any chance that it could be made into a taunt? It would make a great addition to a certain someones move set.

I mean, it's bizarre how the games just degrade. Like the longer universe goes the crazier Cole and Lawler get. Calling people the wrong thing, moves and reversals incorrectly.
Imagine any other franchise doing this. They'd have been out of business 5 years ago. Luckily for THQ wrestling fans are used to being fed shit and dealing with it. Hopefully 2K keeps the quality and fixes the numerous glitches.

Hopefully 2K keeps the quality and fixes the numerous glitches. That sounds like the basis for the best bad Creepypasta in history. "Things were going just fine until I had been playing for about four hours. Then, the commentators started calling the moves the wrong names or just outright refusing to talk to each other. After that started, the animations started getting glitchy and jerky, Alberto Del Rio attempted a neckbreaker on CM Punk which caused Punk's entire body to elongate and contort in disgusting ways. Then a skeleton popped out."

Smackdown 2 which I brought almost two weeks ago FINALLY arrived today. Only played it for a bit over ten years ago. The gameplay is pretty much like most of the old SD games but waaay faster which can be a pain in the ass because my opponent gets up so quickly and I don't know if reversals are in. Plus using the old controls with a PS3 controller is a bit awkward. The game is fun but the loading screens can be annoying.
Already made my main CAW in CAW mode and there seems to be a lot of options including the front, back and base for hair. If only they brought that back... I also noticed that there's a lot of moves that still have the exact same animations in WWE 13. That's quite sad...

I bought 1 and 2 a few months back. 1 isn't great, but my copy of 2 didn't work I'll have to try again. The CAW I have made every year since Smackdown 1 has evolved. He's white Faarooq in that one haha. I don't remember 2 being that much more advanced. I may have to try again.

Damn, now I feel tempted to try writing a WWE 13 Creepypasta. Plus side, at least the commentary this year isn't quite inept enough to have frequent calls for Snitsky despite him not being in the game, nor do they call every shot with a chair a Stunner.
Though, "Hardy to start this one off," does still show up a lot in tag matches.

So, adding to the insanity, I just played for the first time in weeks, and after locking the Yes! Lock in on Cena, the commentary went to what I think was Spanish for a few seconds, before abruptly going back to English.
I don't even know anymore.

"Stephanie McMahon also announced Rock as the cover person on WWE 2K14.
Originally this was supposed to be a major reveal sometime down the line and there were people unhappy she ruined those plans.
2K Sports who were new to working with WWE were freaking out because this kind of thing wouldn’t happen with any other company but others who know about WWE just chalked it up as they are different from everyone else and get used to it. ... The idea was to get Dwayne Johnson on Raw for the big announcement, even though it’s been announced. There is no date planned.
That would indicate expectations people had for at least one more TV appearance in the next few months. With the injury and his tight schedule, there is no estimate when that would be.
All of this has been very stressful on that side. Johnson’s people have told the Take Two people that the injury wasn’t that serious in the sense it will keep him from promoting the game since he’s scheduled to be the public face of the game for this year."

I can't for us to all collectively get over our bitterness and start getting excited for the summer info reveals only to have our dreams shattered two weeks after we laud it as the best WWE game yet on release day.

Does anyone have a list of places CAWs can be billed from? Extensive Googling has yielded no results and my brother is hogging the PS3.
