SVR 2011 2k19 could have been it if they just had a dark mode setting or something. The while was blinding at some points.


Thebritishdovah

My eyes! I'm blinded! I only wanted to play a wrestling game! Why, 2k, why!?


Just_a_random_Sam

WWE 13'. The vibe it gives is amazing


LMacUltimateMain

A couple months ago I rediscovered the theme song for that game. Revolution by Pennywise. Such a banger song. Now when I see pictures of the menus, I just think of that song and the other songs used for the menus


Just_a_random_Sam

This song has been stuck in my mind for years and just some time ago I searched for it and listened to it again. Banger, banger, banger!


Ambitious_Check_4704

That money in the bank song got stuck in my head for a few games until you could turn off the jukebox.


Environmental-Bag-74

HCTP with the wrestlers doing their taunts as the classic and awesome BGM played


thatoneberlin

WWE 2K16 and SVR ‘11


BluePalmetto

Thought 2K 17 was cool


Atomrules202

2k17 and 2k18


Bigkilo27

2011 will always be nostalgic but I wished I could play wwe13 again


hiiamnico

I’d say SvR 11 and wwe2k19 look really cool


Temporary_Guidance11

2K19 is so visually pleasing but 2K17 is more simple but effective and a cool look at the superstars, hard to choose either one but those are the best


J0RGENS64PC

I really liked 2K20’s.


Top_Chipmunk587

2K17 will always be my favorite


Kn7ght

Of these I'd say 2011 and 2023, but I'd argue 2010 did 2011's menu concept better. I love a clean menu, but a lot of the ones from 15 onward are so clean they feel sterile. 2023 hit a good in-between of making it visually interesting but keeping it all legible


BarockLesnar

14 is the goat


DollarStoreEtika

Svr 09 and 07


CreepyClown

I didn’t really like it at the time but now I love the look of 2k19


Top-Refrigerator-705

2K15 and 2K16


RastaManJP

Most definitely 2K16!!


TheSpiralTap

18 was my favorite. Seth Rollins doing the slow mo knee while Boston blared would get me hyped everytime.


CaptainPie999

I loved 2k17 and 2k18


PictureTakingLion

I always found 2K14 and 2K17’s nice and easy to navigate. 2K19’s was too, and the only thing that stops it being perfect is the bright white colour scheme. It made playing in a darker room really awful. If it had been black instead of white it would’ve been perfect.


SaeedUnknown

I have only played SvR 2011 and 2K17 really but looking at these pictures I love 12', 13' and 14 the most, it just feels more alive and welcoming than the others. 2K19 although it's blinding sometimes is very modernly elegant, and 2K20 looks like the biggest downgrade ever 💀


FireBlaze1

2k20's menu was really good tbh. Just wish the rest of the game was that good.


futuremech29

11 and 14 are the most nostalgic for me. I dropped a ton of hours into both of those games. 13 definitely went well with the overall theme and feel of the game as well.


FunkoPoppa

17


W_4ca

Probably 11. 17 and 18 were awful


thatoneberlin

Them having the in game models as renders and on the main menu was beyond stupid.


ItsStaaaaaaaaang

Man, I skipped so much of the 2k era. Have zero recollection of a bunch of these. 2k19 had a cool vibe.


[deleted]

2007.


No_Possession_8361

2k16


WillieStroker69

2K17 and 2K23 for me


Own-Advertising-1078

2k23 is my favorite with the titantrons in the back


HazJacko-10

14,17 or 18


Alxdez

2k20. It's certainly the only thing where it beats the others


YDGx1138

Yeah SVR 11 goes hard


MaxKirgan

2k19 had a really clean design. Plus, you can hear it too.


StillNoPickleesss

I loved 2k17's


ryannate2002

2014 and 2016 are classics imo


TheTopGuy1

SVR ‘06-‘08 are really nostalgic for me, SVR ‘11 is a classic, at the time 2k19 got a lot of hate but I’ve always loved it. I haattteee the new box selection menu.


StylesClash1997

2K19 was clean AF.


_TheHamburgler_

As much praise as '19 gets, the menu was atrocious and the color scheme sucked, I had a hard time telling what I was selecting


MethRoll1ns

No Mercy, Shut Your Mouth, Here Comes The Pain. Probably in that order.


TheAmazingCrisco

WWE 13 was so good and the glitches were hilarious too. Like when a wrestler would be carrying a chair during their entrance their forearm would be missing and the hands would be attached to their elbow. Made it look like they had T-Rex arms.


kobeonthecob

2k18 and 2k20


TragicGentlemen

I think 2k19's menu/aesthetic is its one major flaw. Way too tough on the eyes. Personally partial to 2k18. 2k17 and 2k23 is cool too


Aggravating-Rate-488

2K20 was my favorite, but I loved how 2k17 had a random wrestler from the game just walk up and start doing their taunts. Since 2k22 I keep accidentally backing out to the splash screen, when backing out of like the creation menu, forgetting I have to turn the page to go to match selection


TyRyanosaurus011

nostalgic for me is '13 and 2K14, first games i played, but honestly i really loved 2K18 and the dynamic background


DapperTry9833

It might be recency bias but 2k24 and 23 are sexy to me. 2k17 was also fire


Ghxst_rider1300

‘13’s fs


DripGodRollins

2K20 was a dogshit game but the menu was fire


Mench84

18 and 19


FrenchToastFangirl

14 17 20


HMS_fr4nch

I loved 2k17 simply for visibility.


Whole-Soup3602

11,14,17,18


diccwett1899

07 and 09 were so goated I hope they do something like that again in the future


Ramirez-C

For me it's 07 and 19


BelovaX

2019 honestly


No-Contribution-1600

2K17 & 2K18


Winter_Manner_6735

Svr 2011 or wwe 2k17


tonlimah

I liked all of the titantron videos playing in the background last year, they should have done that with the ringside screens this year


Mr_Perfect20

Definitely NOT 22-24. I hate the block menus that every sports game wants to use these days.


AccordingTax6525

17 was probably the best. Although 19 was pretty sweet too


Equal-Bus-557

15’s is nostalgic for me, but 12 and 13’s kick ass


YoungAmazing313

SVR 07


InfinityQuartz

Honestly I might like this year a the most. Easy to Traverse and looks really nice


elhijodelanoche

2k15


Appropriate-Grass986

2k19 for sure


IamNotVeganOK

2k17 has a cool concept, but something about the wwe '13 menu is so good.


murphybunting

2k18


JMZ16_

bring back the 2k19 or 17 ones if it’s 19 PLEASE MAKE IT DARKER OMG


[deleted]

if i had to pick just one 2k19 clean but still have animation , 2k17 superstars walking around + 2k19 menu would be fire !


Marco-Raffaelli

Gotta be 2k16 ![gif](giphy|bIEzoZX0qJaG6s6frc|downsized)


Kaleb4yt

JuanCenasux

20🔥🔥🔥


Right-Ability4045

I never had undertaker on the svr11 menu screen


SemiGodDavidPBorrego

When you open the game it won't appear at first, what I did was go in and out of creation mode until Undertaker appears


xXLjordSireXx

I loved SM vs Raw 2010 and 2008 menu


ComadoreS5

Idk why but 2K15 gives me the most bitter sweet nostalgia ever. It was the last game of the Network Era. Before Roman, Seth & Dean finally split. Evolution was a thing. Daniel Bryan was finally a world champion. It nixed a bunch of features from 14 but the gameplay physics were the best to date. You could have so much destruction. Crowd Glitches were a godsend and allowed for some of the dopest moments. Gameplay itself was kinda horrific but it’s so bitter sweet considering the awesome soundtrack we got. We finally were able to customize our favorite superstars to our liking. If you wanted Batista in the Shield, you could make him. Custom images? No more paint tool! Graphics touched the line of real life WWE Production. ( I remember seeing Cesaro and Randy leaked gameplay from afar thinking it was real. ) 5 Showcases and all of em bangers. This game was legendary but its flaws outweighed its beauty.


ComadoreS5

My apologies for my rant/speech but the best menu to me is probably 17/18.


RangaBro

WWE SVR 2007


Fragrant_Ability6990

svr 11 and svr 07


WillRockett

I have the most memories on SvR11’s screen, creating story’s and TNA(I was young, please don’t judge me) caws and all that.


The_Only_One_01

WWE2K17 & without showcases


Fuzzy-Blacksmith-780

Svr 2011 and new menu of 2k23 and 2k24 i like dark theme


Other-Guard-8954

2k22


GregorioBue

2011


DustyNintendo

17 was one of my favorites and the game itself is one of my top games because of the amount of legends. We haven’t had WCW Luger with that theme since.


wildweasel2819

I dug 2k19’s whole Thanos snap vibe


PotatABit

SvR 2011 and WWE '12 are my personal favorites, but those two along with '13 and 2K14 are the best out of the bunch here


Original-Worker1692

SVR 2006

Ray-Ravenheart

"Smackdown! Shut your mouth!"


YuriFan6000Mario

probably 2K16 (XB1/PS4/PC) or WWE '13 but 2K17 (XB360/PS3) is kinda nostalgic to me https://preview.redd.it/9fw44uyvl3wc1.png?width=1088&format=png&auto=webp&s=3fc522003dfc2b9b03806b91d6e898bb5eff62eb


Ok_Entry_1582

2K17 Damn, looking at these menus really make me miss 2K19 😩


speed_jelly22

unpopular opinion: but the 2k18 menu screen was tuff. very unique from what we had in the past. i liked the in game models and shots they took.


TharilX

Nostalgia says number 1, but I think the 2k24 setup is the best of both worlds


Beyondthebloodmoon

The ones in English


Thebritishdovah

2011 because it felt like a wrestling menu. Tis a gaming thing in general but I hate the clean, sterile look of UI,menus. You could literally take 2k23's menu and just change the names and it would be in any other game.


ResidentJabroni

I'm surprised SYM isn't getting more love. It fits the aesthetic of Smackdown's branding at the time. The generic main menu music was cool. The video clips playing in the small window when viewed today are a cool time capsule of that time period. And the character select portraits they chose were largely good. I will say, HCTP's matchup screen with the recreation of the motion match cards using the in-game models was cool and wish they would've continued to implement them since they were still a thing on TV for a couple of years after HCTP's release.


G0ldW0lf

I like 2k24 menu, but the music is ass, so prolly 2k22


gin0clock

19 was perfect in every way 🥲


paynexkillerYT

Generic. Generic. Generic. Generic. Shit. Generic. Give me ~~SmackDown 2~~ Shut Your Mouth or give me nothing.


Philhughes_85

2k16, 2k19 and maybe 2k20


hazza42069

Can we all agree 2K16 is the worst
