IGN rated the game a 8.7 out of 10 and said ""It still lacks the brains to deliver competent AI and commentators, but WWE 2K14 has more than enough brawn to make up for it. 30 Years of Wrestlemania provides the strongest campaign backbone the series has had in a long time, the in-ring action is faster and more fluid than it's been in years, and thanks to WWE 2K14"s continually expanding creation suite, we're swimming in more options than we ever knew we wanted. It is indeed "time to play the game.""
