2024 sorcerers have to retrain themselves to quicken their big spell first and then follow up with the cantrip as an action because RAW it doesn't work to cast the big spell as an action and quicken the cantrip.
Yea but that is the same way it worked in 2014. The bonus action limitation on spells meant that you needed to quicken the main spell if you wanted to be able to cast a cantrip too.
Exactly, that line about casting another leveled spell really nerfs quickened spell compared to 2014.
Quickened spell isn't really nerfed, it has pretty much the same limitation in 2024 as in 2014.
It is just that casting levelled spells without spell slots got a lot easier (and more powerful) for everyone which makes quickened spell worth less in comparison.
You're right that it isn't nerfed. The wording for Quickened spell in the 2024 rules includes the restriction where 2014 doesn't and I didn't look at the spellcasting rules for 2014. The 2014 quickened spell is this "When you cast a spell that has a casting time of 1 action, you can spend 2 sorcery points to change the casting time to 1 bonus action for this casting." The restriction comes from the 2014 rules for bonus action spell "A spell cast with a bonus action is especially swift. You must use a bonus action on your turn to cast the spell, provided that you haven’t already taken a bonus action this turn. You can’t cast another spell during the same turn, except for a cantrip with a casting time of 1 action."

You're right. It would never work in 2024.
