WWE 2K14

2K14 is primarily an update of WWE '13, featuring various changes to modes and mechanics, along with several new features.

Improvements have been made to the navigation system, allowing for more fluid walking, running, and dragging motions.

It is indeed "time to play the game". GameSpot rated the game a 6 out of 10, saying that the game was clunky, stating "It's a shame the wrestling isn't up to par in WWE 2K14 because the elements surrounding it are so interesting...
