2K14:


2K Sports have released the new features for this years video game...

From 2K.Com...

NEW NAVIGATION SYSTEM

* The entire navigation system has been overhauled and reanimated including all walking, running, and dragging motions to give the game a more fluid and life-like feel and look.

* Overall Superstar movement has been accelerated, meaning the action is faster-paced and more like what you see on WWE television.

* There is now a "starting up" animation for when Superstars begin running. This leads to a more natural-looking match, where it is more difficult to "spam" running attacks.

* Animation gestures have been added such as adjusting wrist bands, motioning for your opponent to get up, and many more to give a human-like appearance to the navigation system.

STRIKING CHANGES

* Strike and strike combos are now quicker and snappier, making them faster and harder to reverse.

* Successfully landing a strike combo now puts your opponent in a groggy state, making groggy grapples appear earlier and more frequently.

REVERSAL SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS

* Reversing a grapple move now causes the reverser to do a move of his/her own automatically.

* This cuts down on the endless back-and-forth "reversal fest" some users complained of in WWE '13 while also making the match move faster.

CATAPULT FINISHERS

* Catching Finishers can now be executed offensively, by Irish Whipping your opponent to the ropes with a finisher stored or catapulting your opponent up when they run towards you.

* Select finisher moves give you the ability to launch an opponent into the air and then hit them with a Catch Finisher on the way back down.

NEW OMG MOMENTS

* New multi-man OMG Moments added to help you gain the upper-hand in multi-man matches. One OMG move can take out two opponents in one shot making it easier to get the win against multiple opponents.

* Double Attitude Adjustment

* Double Shellshock

* Double Chokeslam

* New OMG Moments added to allow you to dole out even more damage using the ring environment.

* Boot-to-head on outside ringpost

* DDT on the apron

TWO-COUNTS

* One of the most reviled bugs in WWE '13 was the dearth of two-counts. This issue has been addressed, bringing back the dramatic near falls you know and love.

Major issues for TNA:


A live show in Missouri was decimated by officials before the show started, a TNA official had to inform the 500 fans in attendance that many of their top stars would not be allowed to compete, because they did not hold the necessary licence, those affected were Chris Sabin, Garett Bischoff, Jay Bradley, Wes Brisco, Gail Kim and Miss Tessmacher. It meant that the 90 minute show had the same guys working multiple matches.

TNA tried to make up for the issues by inviting all the fans backstage to meet the talent, however even that caused problems because Jeff Hardy decided to charge $20 for photo's and refused to sign any autographs. And VIP ticket holders, who had paid extra for the chance to meet the talent backstage also complained that the regular ticket holders were getting for free, what they had paid for.


WWE Comic Con:


WWE have announced plans to host their own Comic Con style event, they will host 4 day events in the city of a major PPV to build the hype in the area, and to give as many fans as possible the chance to meet the talent.


Angle nixed:


WWE planned to end the John Cena vs Mark Henry feud with a promo on Raw this past Monday, but decided on the night to start the Cena vs Daniel Bryan feud a week earlier than originally planned.
