Each chapter has its own title and focus 'Hulkamania Runs Wild' focuses on Hulk Hogan and early WrestleManias, while 'The New Generation' showcases the rise of Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels in the mid-1990s. In 46 primary matches, the player competes through storylines of various lengths, switching predetermined characters as they are completed. Sometimes the player must follow a guided sequence of inputs, rather than freely control the character. In Wrestlemania mode, matches have primary objectives, required to beat the game, and bonus historical objectives, which result in recreated WrestleMania moments. The mode features a distinct roster of wrestlers and alternate gimmicks, who wrestled at WrestleMania.
Like WWE Legends of WrestleMania and WWE '13, the campaign revolves around historical stories rather than original ones. WWE 2K14 features a new single player campaign called 'The 30 Years of WrestleMania', a nostalgia-based gameplay mode that recreates nearly three decades of WWE history, including more than 45 matches, classic WWE footage and many legendary characters.
On July, 2K announce some improvements of the video game like new navigation system, strike changes, improved reversal systems, catapult finishers, seven new OMG moments and improved nearfalls.
