This is definitely an upgrade from the previous year. graphics as always continue to get better, but they've actually done some work in the other modes. Universe, while still not as good as I know it can be (i.e WWE 12, 13) is an improvement from the bugginess of last years game. GM mode is steadily becoming one of 2Ks most consistent and best game modes MyRise has some interesting stories this year and MyFaction will (hopefully) be a more useful mode if not for Person a cards alone. The one knock I have on this game is showcase, which was done so much better in the past games. Not giving us ingame cutscenes and instead choosing to splice the real match with the game just seems a bit dumb to me
