It was puzzling how they constantly removed features from ‘06 to ‘10. 2011 was amazing with the amount of freedom in matches but for some reason completely changed and ruined it with ‘12
The 2K Originals had the unfortunate situation of being heavily associated to 2k20. If you love creating original CAWs, the 2K Originals is a great addition because it gave us a lot of unique CAW items. I wish it returns...even as exclusive CAW items only.
One I'm glad they removed was the CAW attribute system in SvR 10, where you could only upgrade CAW stats on career mode. Which was bollocks too. Thankfully in SvR 11 it was removed
The sleeperhold meter - making it look like a WWE match where the star is fighting to stay awake from a sleeperhold was a clever concept , but unfortunately too tricky and more often than not the player failed to successfully escape it.
The Hall of Fame mode was the worst Challenge mode of all the SVR games. I played the MITB ladder match and it wouldn't count my win if I did a rematch, which is dumb.
One feature that sucks it got removed was in WWE 2K20 Weapon Skins looked really good and brought variaty to matches similar to WWE and every themed Extreme Rules or Street fight match They gotta bring it back
@@nehemiahpouncey3607 i always liked the randomness of weapons in games like No Mercy Roses, the Rock Says book, cheese, a giant can of Stevewiser, in other games i remember Head as a weapon
Was really fun, but face and heel had special abilities, if you played clean, and filled your bar by doing aerial attacks, taunts, etc, you could activate the bar to be able to reverse any move, and if you were dirty, and filled your bar by hitting low blows and other villainous stuff, when the bar was activated after being full, you could hit a low blow as strong as a finisher.
Another feature gone was Unlimited CAW Experience Points. It was featured in Smackdown 2006 and 2007; where you can max out your CAWs' experiences for a 99% rating.
Wwe games have always been 1 step forward 2 steps back they improve on so much but screw up on things that should have been left alone its actually started to become a trend over the years 🤷
The 2K Originals is the only thing I like in 2K20. It gave us a lot of unique CAW items, and it was perfect for me since I love creating CAWs. I hope they add more unique CAW items in the future.
I think it's safe to say War Games will be removed next year. Took 20+ years for War Games to ever be in a WWE game. Wouldn't be surprised if it was gone for next year.
2K15 Universe Rivalries System. That game was far from perfection, but I feel that 2K15's Universe mode structure was basic, but really good. They should have built and improved the mode from that base
Ahhhhh the cold, deathly precise, yet insurmountably idiotic AI movement of Smackdown 2. Entranced me for bout half a decade. SD2 is fucking bae. I remember being amazed at the camera flashes. Which fr should have made this list 😫🤌🏿🤷🏿♂️
You talking about in RTWM? I think they had it as a special stipulation twice. Once for MVP’s Better than U-topia, or whatever his group was called, at Wrestlemania where if you pinned MVP, it was a 5-count but if he pins you, it’s a regular 3-count. The same applied in SVR 2011 with Randy Orton and the Age of Orton.
I heard about the submission mini game in SvR06’ not that long ago and I was like that’s cool as why remove that so was the stamina drain KO! HOF mode I h8’d, the ladder mechanics in SVR11 were dope I didn’t even notice they were removed honestly and I liked the ladder match grabbing it wasn’t easy, but once mastered it was very op/ inconsistent.
They should definitely bring back free roaming but make it like how they do on NBA for WWE have like a city and performance Center for us to work out, have random tag or one on one matches at like different rings or local events
I wouldn't count it personally as it was more of just a new name for the same mode (season/GM) You could say the same for HOF mode in 08 being just challenge mode again but there was some differences like it being only based on historical moments/matches + levelling up system.
Beating up construction workers etc. Then you realize at the end steph and Vince played you. Then she got speared by Goldberg.😂 Guess he got played too.
@@ThisGenGaming Makes sense. Also, you forgot the chopping mini-game at the corner turnbuckles in SVR. They disappeared by 2006. I’m also surprised that you didn’t mention the SVR 2008 fighting styles. They removed those in 2009.
The one in shut your mouth was kind of scary tho. The wrestler would tell you something In the hall then vanish follow by Threatening rock music like something Bout to go down.
SVR 2011 physics for Ladders were incredible one the most puzzling removals for me.

Yet they always insisted that they never took stuff out. Load of bollocks.
I think from WWE 12 they couldn’t be bothered to redo the features from SVR 11
I was so disappointed the removed features in WWE 12
Because i don't think it was made by thq after 2011
@@tysonchristie5097THQ continued to make till 2013, last one being 2K14

I hated that feature. It’s one of the few features that deserved to get removed.
In SvR 2010 you could upgrade it on exhibition too, SvR 2009 is the only one where you had to do career mode.

They remove this stuff cause they
Think oh nobody uses it anymore
So let's ditch it.
Svr 06 had the most realistic features till today 😮
💯💯💯💯 prob my personal favorite with HCTP
@@AK_Pochino "my personal fav"
Imagine if they kept the crowd fighting from svr 2007 and 2008 to 2011 with the upgrade physics that would have been so cool

Ahh, the announce table choke. If only there was a significant event that occurred in 2007 to ban it in SVR 08... /s/
Technically the buried alive match from SmackDown versus raw 2006 also doubled as a casket match
Bro WWE SVR 2011 was ahead of its time. The features, the graphics... They were so cool
One feature that sucks it got removed was in WWE 2K20 Weapon Skins looked really good and brought variaty to matches similar to WWE and every themed Extreme Rules or Street fight match
They gotta bring it back
Like spells books and lollipops etc.
Even the arenas got removed like
The hell arena the wreslemania future
one.

SVR 2011 was also the only game, as far as I recall, to have TLC matches start with all the weapons in the ring.
0:52- Primitive but fun. I miss being able to do tgings like that in-game.
Love the videos! Keep up the good work!
You missed one. In the first smack down vs raw game you could choose to be neutral instead of a face or heel
Was really fun, but face and heel had special abilities, if you played clean, and filled your bar by doing aerial attacks, taunts, etc, you could activate the bar to be able to reverse any move, and if you were dirty, and filled your bar by hitting low blows and other villainous stuff, when the bar was activated after being full, you could hit a low blow as strong as a finisher.
@@Pelumi123-oh6ys I know. I preferred being neither face or heel sometimes though lol
@@Pelumi123-oh6ysBecoming invincible with reversals being clean was so fun. The original SVR is still my favorite wrestling game of all time.

I appreciate the sym background music. My favorite soundtrack. Very nostalgic
God I LOVED that double KO feature I cannot tell you how many matches I had end that way
2k brought it back tho.
The animation for that announcer table choking actually exists in future games. I managed to apply it in 2008 & 2009. The interaction is still there,
Hall of Frame mode was the hardest thing I did in a wwe game 2nd is Golden AJ styles fight in 2k19 and 3rd Is Beat the Streak in 2k14
All that just to get a golden A.J.
Styles.
I loved the 2K Originals. Fantasy shit like that will always get my approval.
2k didn't start till 2014 or 2015, everything before was thq.

Will stick.

i loved SVR 06 AND 07 my favorite 2 SVR games
2K15 Universe Rivalries System. That game was far from perfection, but I feel that 2K15's Universe mode structure was basic, but really good. They should have built and improved the mode from that base
Loving the sym music in the back
1:32 back when the audience was gifs.
i completely forgot about these features
Ahhhhh the cold, deathly precise, yet insurmountably idiotic AI movement of Smackdown 2. Entranced me for bout half a decade. SD2 is fucking bae. I remember being amazed at the camera flashes. Which fr should have made this list 😫🤌🏿🤷🏿♂️
I miss the 5 count feature that they had one old SVR games, and being able to interact with things like in those games as well.

The same applied in SVR 2011 with Randy Orton and the Age of Orton.
You could even make your own too.
Vince did it on 2010 as ref.
You forgot to mention the removal of the Bra & Panties match after appearing in Smackdown vs Raw (2004)
It was in HCTP too
It becomes a fulfill your fantasy match.
Picture taking bayley stuff off?😂
Technically you can if you have a caw
of her.
The Inferno and Bury Alive Matches.

Hate when they'll make a cool feature
Then scrap it.
They should definitely bring back free roaming but make it like how they do on NBA for WWE have like a city and performance Center for us to work out, have random tag or one on one matches at like different rings or local events
Brings back so much memories
in 2k15 ps3 you play a mode called who got nxt
characters you play are
sami zayn
rusev
Corey graves
Adrian neville
bo dallas
Beated it.
One of em almost gave me problems.
Picture they did that again?
Bro this was a great video keep up the great work!
The double down feature needs to be a normality in WWE video games. It’s a vital part of many wrestling matches.
5:56 the original showcase mode.
i want to see Slade in future games
he was a good heel not entirely amazing but wasn't average either
You also forgot about the bras and panties matches on svr 06
That's the fullfill your fantasy match you're thinking 🤔 of.
Svr 6 was cool game... ❤
and in the nintendo ds version of SVR 2010 it is the first and only game to have ambulance match
True, but it was the last SVR game on DS so there wasn't a game to remove it from haha. I will include that match in a future video however!
Its almost like Mat Dickie took all these features and put them into Wrestling Empire 😂
What about 24/7 mode that only lasted one game which is 08
I wouldn't count it personally as it was more of just a new name for the same mode (season/GM)
You could say the same for HOF mode in 08 being just challenge mode again but there was some differences like it being only based on historical moments/matches + levelling up system.
I’m not 100 percent sure on this because I only owned the ps3 version of wwe 12 but wasn’t the casket match a part of the Xbox 360 version of wwe 12?
No
Wasn't free roaming in Smackdown vs RAW 2011's RTW modena & 2K18's MyCareer mode?
on the psp 06 there's s road to wrestlemania but that's just tournament mode
I actually thought 2k originals was the only good thing about wwe 2k20 tbh
so is buried alive matches not considered a casket match ?
Technically no but the way it was done was very similar to a casket match.
Casket Matches returned for WWE2K24.
Free roaming in now days game would be lit
What about the Fulfill Your Fantasy match?
I missed that.
To bad it won't work in today's
Games.
You missed the championship scramble match of 2010
Nope. It appeared in SVR11, WWE 12 and WWE 13.
Remember the champions of champions belt from 2010?
Pls compile a vid of all minigames and qte to ever exist in wwe games
The reasons for all of this is because of CPU processing power.
Watching yourself on the tron
Bron got his butt beat.😂
Revenge mode in Wrestlemaina 19. I had never in my life played anything like it
Beating up construction workers etc.
Then you realize at the end steph and

Then she got speared by Goldberg.😂
Guess he got played too.
Back when you could find the magic in every WWE game.
SVR08 Dirty wrestlers can go hold refree on the back.
SVR11 Royal rumble button mashing system
The referee one is also on SvR 10
Ref shield was in 2008-2010 afaik
You forgot the finished steal in smackdown hctp
Remember the possum pin.
They show a cutscene of the wrestler
Looking down then wrestler be like
Surprise mother effer!!!!!
I miss the ultimate controls.
SVR2010❤
Bro bra and panties match was best 😭
Intergender matches?
Wrong on the casket match
No I wasn't at at all?
Wtf game is the first one
Technically in Just Bring It, you could also free roam in story mode but it just wasn’t as fully fleshed out as Shut Your Mouth.
Wasn't really free due to the 1 min time limit but I get you though.
@@ThisGenGaming Makes sense.
Also, you forgot the chopping mini-game at the corner turnbuckles in SVR. They disappeared by 2006.
I’m also surprised that you didn’t mention the SVR 2008 fighting styles. They removed those in 2009.
