Regarding weapon physics, I think that 2K15 came quite close to what SVR11 brought, but yeah, since then, it's been getting worse and worse, at least we can still place ladders where we want to, because when they took it out, I was mad
Who remembers when you could change the length of the hair in create a wrestler ? now its all pre set length which is fine but it was a neat little addition. Dating back further you could even change the length of sleeves on clothing and edit every individual body part to absurd sizes.
I’ve got long hair and I loved that feature. Cause there’s plenty of hair styles I’ve wanted to use for my guys in the last few career modes but it’s either too short or too long.
Little details like these really make me miss the SVR games all the more. While not every game was flawless with details, the fact that these games even included them, while none of the 2k games include them is just embarrassing. The whole series today is all based on realism, yet a lot of the games now barely have little things like the SVR games, which is very confusing. Really goes to show how much Yuke’s cared for back then. Good times. Good times.
The actual in game Wrestling game on the new 2k games isn't realistic. They get up way to quickly after moves and being hit by chairs.2k19 and svr 2009 were the best games
The 2k games they need to slow the pace down again , move away from button bashing and bring back chain wresting, and bring in situational specific moves ie spear near barricade. Chokeslams near announce table
The first SVR game was clearly a downgrade from Smackdown hctp. In hctp we had many open backstages with the possibility of moving between them, but in the first SvR we only had one Backstage, one parking lot and we could not move between them. Also in SVR we had the shorter season mode. No more victory scenes and eliminated creating animations. Also SvR 09 was another big downgrade from SvR 08, they removed buried alive, Gm mode, season mode, made a championship mode and the roster in svr 09 was pretty bad with no legends at the time.
yes i remember I loved svr because it had the new burn in my light orton (he just started using that song two months before the game came out) but also got disappointed at the lack of "stuff"
Dang! it's about 4 years, that i didn't even realize the ringside was so small. they even forgot the crawling, they probably forgot inside ring the increase, and more. and when i played WWE 2K19, the cheering/booing and the mix sound effects were better.
While a lot of these visual aspects are definitely a downgrade, i can understand when it would take so much time to do combined with data space & harder to improve on with coding. Of course it can be done & i wouldn’t be against it, but I definitely understand why they would put the effort on what is normally the first game of a new console to then see it’s not as practical to keep when fans want other things added. It’s almost like a balance of quality of life and new features & character models
Dude, the PS3 era looked better than the 2K games. Say what you will about SVR08, but that game has the best-looking wrestlers in any game. I mean, they even nailed how the eyes of the Hardy Boy's are awkwardly close to each other and the sweat beaded. Now, sweat just like like oil.
They take away some detail, and then they bring them back in the couple of the next games and say Oh! We put in some more detail, go buy our game. Due to the lazy of creativity and out of new idea.
Increase your resolution on a bigger screen, and check out which roster can cast shadows on themselves? Which audience doesn't look like they started in a 3DO tech demo? The subtle face muscles seen in close-ups are another give away.
I played wwe 2k17 they chest get red when you slap them in the chest and they whole face get bloody and I do agree. When wwe 12 started the graphic was downgrade
We're not complaining about the weapon physics enough and that's why I feel that they have been terrible for over a decade now. I feel like that is ONE thing I care about more than anyone and more than anything else. Make weapons important again.
They really removed the fire in the "INFERNO" match for censorship reasons?!?! That's fucking dumb. That's a shame because other than that, and a couple of other minor things/problems, I really like(d) WWE 2K14. Learning that makes me kind of dislike the game more.
the Smackdown vs Raw games become worse with each iteration. The maximum as well as minimum height have become less now. Female wrestlers can't fight in hardcore matches nor bleed and even the hair and similar in the character creation gets worse in each new game.
That MyFaction bullshit should've been mentioned. I hadn't bought a WWE game in years. Decided to pony up for the nWo edition of 2K22. The controls sucked, MyFaction paywall is garbage. Didn't bother with 2K23.
I’m ngl making graphics good and all is cool and all but brodie gameplay is wat they should worried about first graphics really should be the last tbh 🤷🏿♂️especially now we not getting nothing better than wat we have with the graphics
i get the hate for wwe 2k15 with how lackluster it was , but i played it on the xbox 360 and i really enjoyed it . the showcase obviously was one of the best in any 2k game and the who got nxt mode to me is very underrated and not talked about at all . kinda glad i didn’t get next gen till 2k18
Just bring it CGI vs. The actual gaming graphics was the biggest troll of the early 200s. I can forgive the CGI in 07 because the aftual in game graphics were definitely elite. I cant forgove that graphical downgrade of SvR 11 to WWE12. The gane looed cartoony asf. I cant also get iver hiw 2k15 looks better than 2k23. I dont understand how an almost 10 year old game looks better than the newest game and i feel 2k doesnt gaf. 1 more thing i understand but wish coudk return was wespon physics. If you talk about realism. The favt the weapon ohysics gadnt made a complete return is criminal.
The downgrade of all downgrades was svr 08 gameplay and graphics! The gameplay was sloooowwwwww and so stiffff Graphics looked so clayish idk just didn't look crip
Regarding weapon physics, I think that 2K15 came quite close to what SVR11 brought, but yeah, since then, it's been getting worse and worse, at least we can still place ladders where we want to, because when they took it out, I was mad
True
I love when you can use the weapons like steel steps like superlex them on it like in wwe 2k14
I dunno lads 2k23 is fun

SvR also had more creative features which 2K still lacks today 🤦🏽♂️
@@jumpman2326I hate the fact that they took out OMG moments
The actual in game
Wrestling game on the new 2k games isn't realistic. They get up way to quickly after moves and being hit by chairs.2k19 and svr 2009 were the best games
The 2k games they need to slow the pace down again , move away from button bashing and bring back chain wresting, and bring in situational specific moves ie spear near barricade. Chokeslams near announce table
Werent yall complaining about the games being very slow now yall are asking to be fastest make up yall minds

Thaank you ! Facts !
Svr 08 was a hellacious down grade from svr 07
yes i remember I loved svr because it had the new burn in my light orton (he just started using that song two months before the game came out) but also got disappointed at the lack of "stuff"
When Chain Wrestling and Working Holds were removed, it really left a gaping hole in a supposed to be WRESTLING game.
Dang! it's about 4 years, that i didn't even realize the ringside was so small. they even forgot the crawling, they probably forgot inside ring the increase, and more. and when i played WWE 2K19, the cheering/booing and the mix sound effects were better.
I'm glad you mentioned the downgrade of career mode in 2K17 from 2K16. No one ever talks about that
I feel if we’re not included 2k22 and 23 from 2k15 16 17 we’re downgrades but 2k18 and 19 were huge upgrades
But graphic wwe 2k15 is untouched on ps4
Maybe on 2K24 we will see the graphics improve since it will be released on PS5
I can understand the removal of being actually on fire for Inferno match endings but why even include them if you aren't gonna have that happen?
From 2k14 to 15 was such a disappointment back when I first got my new ps4
SmackDown! vs Raw was a major downgrade from Here Comes the Pain
They should bring redness back because of all these Gunther matches being brutal af
THQ did well during HTCP and SVR to SVR2007
svr 11 had muscle flexing and they removed it
While a lot of these visual aspects are definitely a downgrade, i can understand when it would take so much time to do combined with data space & harder to improve on with coding. Of course it can be done & i wouldn’t be against it, but I definitely understand why they would put the effort on what is normally the first game of a new console to then see it’s not as practical to keep when fans want other things added. It’s almost like a balance of quality of life and new features & character models
wwe 2k17 had the most downgraded. john cena got me questioning myself 😂
Cena looked horrible in that game lol
Honorable mention:Almost everything from All Stars to 2k Battlegrounds
If you play the Xbox 360 and ps3 versions of 2k16 and 2k15 you can still climb on tables and be a special guest referee.
Funny how the older games with unrealistic graphics were more realistic then the one's with more realistic graphics
I miss when blood dripped on the mat when someone got busted open
SVR 07 to 11 on ps2 the ropes physics were more realistic
Svr 11 is def graphical peak
Dude, the PS3 era looked better than the 2K games. Say what you will about SVR08, but that game has the best-looking wrestlers in any game. I mean, they even nailed how the eyes of the Hardy Boy's are awkwardly close to each other and the sweat beaded. Now, sweat just like like oil.
The little details.. something 2k clearly likes to gloss over when developing their games. It’s just the truth
How did WWE 2K23’s unnecessary change to the controls not get a mention on here?
I didn't bother with 2K23. What did they change from 2K22? I hated the controls on that game.
They take away some detail, and then they bring them back in the couple of the next games and say Oh! We put in some more detail, go buy our game. Due to the lazy of creativity and out of new idea.
Omg moments should've been on here
2K - 1999-2024 retirement
This is gonna sound stupid but i miss the lockup system
WWE 2K23 has chests getting red if you repeated do chest slaps or punches
2K19 has bruising? I play that all the time and never noticed
I'm gonna be honest the games really haven't looked like the changed visually. Even with 2k15 it still looked like how raw vs smackdown looked on ps2.
Increase your resolution on a bigger screen, and check out which roster can cast shadows on themselves? Which audience doesn't look like they started in a 3DO tech demo? The subtle face muscles seen in close-ups are another give away.
You're straight out blind, my dude lol
Someone doesn’t like CM Punk
The redness on chests is back in 2k23
I played wwe 2k17 they chest get red when you slap them in the chest and they whole face get bloody and I do agree. When wwe 12 started the graphic was downgrade
That’s because wwe 2012 never happened 😢it became wwe 2k scam 12
The entire game of 2K18 was a downgrade on Switch. They couldn't even make it playable and still haven't acknowledged that collosal failure
SvR 2007 was my 1st WWE game for PS2.
Still disappointed by the limited interaction with the announce table smh
I'll take a lose on GM Mode if we can get back SvR 11 weapons physics
We're not complaining about the weapon physics enough and that's why I feel that they have been terrible for over a decade now. I feel like that is ONE thing I care about more than anyone and more than anything else. Make weapons important again.
Thank you!!!!! The weapon physics from svr 11 was unmatched
Blood system General get a lot worse after wwe 2011
From what I've seen, the bruising and damage is still in 2k23 on onward.
I miss svr o6 put so many hours into it
WWE2K16 only thing i was made at was how you got Tyson and wwe 13 but who the hell was that character in WWE2K16
They really removed the fire in the "INFERNO" match for censorship reasons?!?! That's fucking dumb. That's a shame because other than that, and a couple of other minor things/problems, I really like(d) WWE 2K14. Learning that makes me kind of dislike the game more.
Like i've said before they make these games anyway knowing they'll sale or it's a sign of complete laziness
Thank you for setting Punk on fire for me😂
“This FIIIREE BUURRNNS ALLL THE WAAYYY!”
the Smackdown vs Raw games become worse with each iteration. The maximum as well as minimum height have become less now.
Female wrestlers can't fight in hardcore matches nor bleed and even the hair and similar in the character creation gets worse in each new game.
12 had the best reversal system ever tho
wwe svr 2007 trailer was the biggest downgrade in history
3:20
Senor Orton
That MyFaction bullshit should've been mentioned. I hadn't bought a WWE game in years. Decided to pony up for the nWo edition of 2K22. The controls sucked, MyFaction paywall is garbage. Didn't bother with 2K23.
I’m ngl making graphics good and all is cool and all but brodie gameplay is wat they should worried about first graphics really should be the last tbh 🤷🏿♂️especially now we not getting nothing better than wat we have with the graphics
From 2011 to ‘12 downgraded so damn much
Nothing wrong with the quality of the games from 2k15 they all look better
i get the hate for wwe 2k15 with how lackluster it was , but i played it on the xbox 360 and i really enjoyed it . the showcase obviously was one of the best in any 2k game and the who got nxt mode to me is very underrated and not talked about at all . kinda glad i didn’t get next gen till 2k18
The graphics in 2K20 were so bad compared to 2K19
aside from graphics 2k15 on the xbox 360 was better then 2k15 on the ps4 and xbox one
Redness is in every 2k game
Fighting stance always is worst in WWE 2K23 it seems to unreal
Criticizing just bring it graphics by using svr 06 is criminal. You need to be arrested.
I love your commentary😀
No OMG moment in 2k22 and 2k23 is worst downgrade
Just bring it CGI vs. The actual gaming graphics was the biggest troll of the early 200s. I can forgive the CGI in 07 because the aftual in game graphics were definitely elite.
I cant forgove that graphical downgrade of SvR 11 to WWE12. The gane looed cartoony asf.
I cant also get iver hiw 2k15 looks better than 2k23. I dont understand how an almost 10 year old game looks better than the newest game and i feel 2k doesnt gaf.
1 more thing i understand but wish coudk return was wespon physics. If you talk about realism. The favt the weapon ohysics gadnt made a complete return is criminal.
The downgrade of all downgrades was svr 08 gameplay and graphics! The gameplay was sloooowwwwww and so stiffff
Graphics looked so clayish idk just didn't look crip
I want royal rumble with pin falls
I refuse to buy another game produced by the incompetents, useless and thiefs developers or 2k
Bro I mean all of 2k series is downgrade
Old gen version of the new games are so bad
How you gon live life wit no passion?
First
