#WWE2K25 #WWEGames #WWE2K
Man if Universe Mode is gone, thats gonna be a sad time because I remember watching so many Universe Simulations done by Denkops, BDE, SimplyBetterAM, PhoenixNitro, its been a part of WWE games for as long as it was created, I remember in Universe Mode for SVR 2011, you could unlock Superstars from playing through the Universe Mode. I feel like rather than try to replace what is essentially history, they should try to improve Universe Mode to bring back those old concepts and make it better
It's not going away. But it definitely needs SOMETHING new.
They act like they dont know what to do with it anyways nooo ideas or nothing
All I have to say is...Hurry up UPW!
LOL
EXACTLY!!!
All I care about is the Creation Suite: The Create a Superstar mode's presentation names I want in the game for a long time now. How many CAW slots, Create a show slots, Create an arena slots? Create a referee slots,
What modes do you use these creations in ?
And if we can get it to be unlimited and when I say unlimited.. It would be based on how much space you have on your Console... Now that would be a Game Changers for😊 creators
Lol i had a dream that they said 120 slots for creation😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@theprowrestlingshoot Exhibition for one.
I like to relive matches from over the years, and many WCW, ECW, World Class and other Feds matches require CAWs for them.
Also for Universe and MyGM Mode.
Meh, if they can’t figure out Universe Mode, just get rid of it. Focus on GM Mode instead and incorporate the customization aspects of Universe Mode into it. Story Designer is a must too.
I couldn’t care less about the La La Land/city mode we never asked for.
I hope the island can be played in a private invite only lobby with friends
That would be a nice touch.
That’s your concern lmao? That modes gonna suck and you’ll be off it after a few weeks
I think, and this will suck for a little bit, but if they take Universe Mode out of 2K25, work on it, and eventually release it, then it would be perfect. Great video, man. 💜
Thank you, man! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I agree, it would hurt at first, but if it came back bigger and better than ever, it would be worth it.
No I think that would be stupid to get rid of the universe mode like yeah It needs seriously updates but cmon people. Like I still want my caws to have something
Agreed. It's still wanted.
Look 2k is trying their best to make the best wrestling game adding new features and new modes
From rumors on reddit, universe mode is still in but its not gonna be changed a lot, i heard they are adding some things with more customization or full customization options available but we'll see if it actually gives universe the replayability it needs.
I also heard some scheduling tweaks and QOL features, as well as making Rivalries have more impact on storylines, whatever that means.
I would be happy if they add some good QOL, better customization options, better rivalries with more cutscenes, and just some good tweaks.
I want them to overhaul the code. I would rather they take a year or two off and overhaul the shit out of it. But not sure if that will ever happen.
It could be that they are working on new code and just not ready to unveil it until we go to Next Gen, there are rumors of them trying to do more with universe mode but code limitations and last gen are hurting it.
But who fucking knows lmao.
I am keeping my expectations tempered. I expect more to be done to Universe Mode once the last gen is no longer being supported.
I believe we’ll be more surprised at how much 2K surprises us with the new features & updates in 2K25
I think it will be a bloodline related thing. They can’t even really make significant changes to universe mode without breaking the game, you want me to believe they can somehow have a whole city for them run around and interact with in unconventional ways?
They need to just start from scratch
Could have been working on it in the background for a couple of years now.
My guy cranking out videos every hour 😂😂😂. Bro, when do you sleep? In all seriousness, top creator on the scene bro.
I got a good 4 hours of sleep last night. Ready to go again today! 😵💫☕️
2k starting to get on EA level of arrogance
Don't be supposed if the fans virtually riot with a hashtag that says
#FixUniverseMode 😮
Hey My Friend(s) last night i did my Rosters and Champions ,for my Last Universemode New Era Sessions . Later i set up my Stables and teams i go not only the Realistic WWE Way. Hope its still.
I'd rather 2K get rid of universe mode and replace it with Story Designer.
Story designer is definitely needed.
Universe mode is open-ended Story Designer isn't a never ending mode. So that wouldn't be a logical idea
@@isaiahallen1113 Simple you implement 80% if not 90% of Universe mode features into a story mode now it's way better works for both!
No point in getting the game if universe mode don't get updated cause there's to much for me to start over and have universe mode functional, somewhat
I think that the problem with Universe Mode is not a lack of thought going into it, but rather they over think it. It doesn't need to be that complex. All it really need to do is remember who you're booking against each other and suggest potential storylines for those characters. Also, Universe Mode having it's own factions is silly. All it means is that you need to create your factions twice. A big problem is that it gets repetitive really quickly and so I lose interest. If there's a feud going on, it can't just be another standard match every week. A feud requires more than that, especially if 1 wrestler wins every week.
I've seen many videos talking about that " Island/City " thing popping up in my recommended recently. Haven't watched any of them, as I prefer to wait for the official announcement/reveal either today or tomorrow. As someone who don't play NBA games ( wrestling games are the only sports games I play, considering wrestling is the only sport I watch and have interest for ) , I had no idea what that City mode in NBA games is. Anyway, this video is the first time I hear a little bit about this Island/City mode. And oh boy, I don't like what I've heard in those first few seconds of the video at all.
" We are getting a new Island or Online mode " . Welp, that's all I needed to hear about it then, don't care about anything else about it. I boycott every Online modes in every games, especially in games like WWE 2K who shuts down their servers only 1 year after release. I refuse to invest time into creating/unlocking or whatever anything in an Online mode, since everything will be lost forever only a year later when the servers shuts down, making all of the time invested into it a pure waste of time. Nope, not touching that Island/City mode with a seven foot pole, ever. Just like I ain't touching any My Faction stuff. I'm a 100% solo and 100% offline type of player ( as I always say " Shut down your Internet connection, and then launch the game and play it. THAT is what the REAL game is, as that is all you'll have left once the servers are gone. Everything you don't have access to under these circumstances, is nothing more than a waste of your precious time. " ) .
Even if Universe is still in ( which it better be or I ain't buying the game ) , it's still a pain in the backdoor to know that, once again, Universe still won't get fixed, still won't get any real much needed improvements, all because they're wasting their time and money into another Online 💩 , a My Faction 2.0 , a mode with always more grind for thousands of hours to unlock very small things, that can be avoided by paying $5000 to unlock the content like in My Faction, that will be dead one year later and that therefore normal people don't care about. Not a single soul in the universe asked for this Island mode.
They need to stop adding new modes ( especially if it's gonna be some " 1 year of existence Online mode " ) , and start by fixing everything that doesn't work properly in what we already have ( like Universe mode as a whole, as well as the cash-in system for the MITB, both in Universe and Exhibition modes ) . Can't build a house, if the foundations aren't perfectly solid, so they need to stop adding new bricks that nobody asked for and nobody cares about, and start fixing the foundations first.
Man, every creation suite are only useful as long as we have Universe mode, as they are tools we need for Universe mode. Let's say we wanna create TNA in Universe mode, that's where Create A Title comes in to create their titles, as well as create An Arena to create their arenas, as well as Create A Show to add the logos for the calendar visual presentation and all, as well as Create A Sign which allows us to have signs in the crowd for a Kaz, a Joe Hendry, a Moose, a Josh Alexander, ect. But all these, created titles, created arenas, created shows, none of these can be used in other modes ( Showcase, My Rise, My Faction, GM ) which means that, without Universe mode, there's just no point in having all these creation tools anymore, as we'd have nothing to use them in... Which is why I'd stop buying the games if they were to remove Universe mode, because, removing it, would basically be removing the entire game, there's just no point in playing it anymore... Why would I want to create arenas, titles, shows, if I know I won't be able to use them anymore ? It would just make no sense. Universe mode IS the whole game. Without Universe mode, there's no game anymore, which is why I'd stop buying it, 'cause there would be no point in buying such an empty game anymore.
Even if it's still in this year, I have a feeling that Universe mode won't stay for long anymore. I've predicted it would be gone before 2K30 comes out, a few years ago, and I stand by it. It feels like this mode is on death row and that it's only a matter of time before they pull the plug on it. ( I mean, it is documented that, 2K guys themselves have said that when they're having meetings with the team to talk about what to do, what to add, what to improve, ect, no one in the team cares about Universe mode, it's never talked about, no one ever brings up Universe mode, which means the devs themselves are treating this mode as if it already don't exist anymore, as if it has already been removed, so... ) .
As the saying says " Where there's smoke, there's fire " . The rumors of Universe being removed in 2K25 don't come out of nowhere. Maybe they're wrong about 2K25, maybe it's still in this year, but... I ain't confident about it being in, in 2K26. If there's word about it being gone, it tells us that 2K is at least considering removing it in a near future. In one of the next few games ( somewhere between 2K26 and 2K30 ) . Mark my words, it will be removed by the time 2K30 comes out, I have zero doubt about it, I can feel it. With how little care the 2K devs have for this mode, it's already dead and buried. The Wrestling Code can't come soon enough.
How can a feature that was previously in the game until 2K took it out, the Draft, break the game if they bring it back?
And if the mode is so broken they need to rebuild it from scratch over 2/3 years like they did for MyGM.. My hopes are they've been doing this behind the scenes over the past 2 years 🙏🏼
Because visual concepts had trouble with that feature with some of their new features i guess, lol
The problem with this island and MyFaction modes are that they are online.
Meaning that when the servers shut down, then the mode is unplayable.
Well, it's a yearly release. So they expect you to buy the next one and play in that. But I get what you are saying.
The names I want in the Create a Superstar mode's presentation are: Branham, Brinkman, Cara, Carissa, Carroll, Christy, Cisneros, Colwell, Couch, Garrison, Gary, Glen, Greenwell, Grubb, Guillermo, June, Kaiser, Karley, Kristen, Krista, Loretta, McGuffey, Miceli, Monica, Mishi, Nina, O'Neil, Perpich, Philbeck, Placito, Rita, Sandra, Witt, Wrestleton, Xara, and Xavier.
What I don't get is...if the mode can't change without destroying the game...why not just take out the mode while in the reconstruction time frame when it was in development for the two years we didn't have a game?
Hopefully We Get Some Kind Of Update On Universe, Or GM Mode 😔
If this game follows NBA2K. This "WWE City" mode could be connected to My Rise custom character go into Barbershop here comes the cut scene about Barbershop asking when are you facing Omos? Things like that
🤣🤣🤣
Exactly what I'm expecting
This is where I think they have over complicated the mode. My GM is think would have a similar code. Yet it will still do things like use the tag teams or factions in exhibition mode. Like I have no issue if a created title or tag team gets locked to an assigned mode. I never got where everything in Universe has to be separate like that.
We need import capabilities and replays that stay on and fix the online
If this city is true, online will HAVE to be fixed. Otherwise, this is a MAJOR failure.
I’m in the minority here but I think there’s bigger and better things out there than universe mode. It’s generally boring and lacks creativity. I hope they can start something fresh.
I don't disagree with you. I love the concept of universe mode but it's gone nowhere for years. I'm hopeful the city will bring a much needed revival of these games as far as replay ability
friend I respect you so much, you said everything I think and would like about this game, create story, updated universe mode with more rivalries, promos, intros, segments, backstage, and improvements in gameplay with the return of the chain!!!!
Thank you! I'm happy to hear you enjoy the content.
If they would communicate with the fan base that they are going to take out universe mode and it will make a new fresh return in a year or two I’d be down for that
That would absolutely have to happen of they end up removing it.
Universe mode could be deleted if they give us creat a story
If we get iron survivor, I quit, buried alive, nxt underground, & city/island you won’t get a complaint out of me at all
Firstly, love the Punk shirt ⚡️, secondly, if Universe mode really does hold all the coding back then I think maybe 2K take a year off to properly remove that old code and reconstruct it because we’re well overdue for a modern version of that sandbox mode in this game with fresh updates 💪🏼
Thanks, man! I fully agree with holding it off for a year unless they have been working on a fix for a couple of years.
I hope not I do 80s universe in every wwe2k
Hey Can You Do a Video on GM Mode and where you want to see it in the future ?
It will be horrible if they get rid of Universe mode. They should keep it and bring back career mode. If they just have online mode that means we will barely be able to play it with how bad the game crashes with online and my faction.
Agreed.
I still have 0 plans to get this game at launch. I've hardly played 24 because it's so buggy and I've ended up going back to 23 & 19 as they just run so much smoother!
Probably wise to hold off until after launch to see how things play out. Unless they hook ya with something in the coming announcements that make you change your mind.
Since they are using 2k18 code for universe mode then it made no sense to have superstar universe mode if that's the mode that's causing problems
Could be.
@theprowrestlingshoot I get trying to do something different, but if they are using 2k18 code and by looking at previous 2k wwe games, there's a reason why we don't have two universe modes in the game.. I my opinion, they made the system complicated by doing rhar
Certainly not going to roast you. Unless they are rebuilding and have been rebuilding Universe Mode because of the code, it’s disappointing that The Island has been the focus. I am not opposed to it, but unless The Island is offline … I don’t think that will go over well either… however we need to see what it is first.
Universe mode is my favorite one 😢
I still hold on to hope for it. It has the most potential of any mode. Just needs to have more TV elements involved.
Im out until they do something with the game that makes me want to play it for more then a few hours, seems like universe mode is always on the back burner
Pretty sure that island mode will keep people engaged. Gotta see it in action first.
@ if its anyting like the city in nba its not for me not interested in creating a wrestler and wondering around an island doing who knows what and them wanting cash so i can get good boots or outfits 🤷🏽♂️
That is one of my biggest concerns, is that they put a lot of focus on this island thing, and everything else is being pushed aside.
This island thing doesn’t really spark my interest. I don’t even play it in the nba games. It’s not for me.
I mean people did ask for a free roam thing, so you could say this is it, like it is on your favorite game.
For me personally, I’m still waiting for story designer (and custom music, but that will never happen).
But we will just have to wait until next week to get true confirmation about what’s in the game this year.
This is true! I wanted a free Roam career mode. They just upped the stakes, haha. I'm honestly not bothered by the new mode. Quite the opposite. I'm interested.
Man i hope for some decent updated in universe mode this year.
It could happen!
Couldn't care less about the island, probably a microtransaction game mode that only look cool on the outside
Curious to see how they run it.
They’ll bring it back in two years and get the audience back.. they are going to add cash grab modes because money why not
Does anyone miss custom music for entrances?
Literally, everybody.
Let it go. Rebuild. IDK Build it on the GM mode engine? Is that possible?
Damn they can’t hurt limb detection or create a title entrance 🤷🏽♂️
Im calling bull on the universe mode using the code from back in the yuks day. Their universe mode has a draft so how the hell would adding something they already have code for brake the game. Thats a buch a lies
Because they knew how to configure the code. That was a yukes design. Visual concepts doesn't know how to handle it.
@@theprowrestlingshoot that’s all fine and dandy. But you’re telling me someone who is educated in software engineering, who has worked for years in developing and writing code, would eventually be able to reverse engineer it??? I know the yukes guys were Japanese, but you could bring in a translator and code is still code. Plus if they are saying that in interviews they are straight up lying! I remember the first year they brought the cut screen curator into universe in I think 2k23, they were claiming in every interview that they re-built the mode from the ground up and that’s why it was bare bones and scaled back. Now they are saying the complete opposite that they are still using yukes code? I just don’t buy it. And if that’s the case why can’t you hire a couple of ex yukes employees to come in and help you reverse engineer it. There is literally a thousand solutions to this problem but they don’t want to hear any of it because they can’t monetize universe without everyone flipping out
@jamescrosby100 I'm telling you what was said in my interview with him. Im not saying what he said was "factual." But he obviously can't make it happen for one reason or another. Don't shoot the messenger.
@ not at all brother. I’m glad you’re passing on the information. I was just mentioning that he was saying something different two years ago. That guy talks out of both sides of his mouth
If anything the island can replace factions. I have never touched that card game thing lol
It's really not that bad of a mode as long as you are not wasting money. But I agree, I'd much rather have that than the current card game.
I love universe mode , but people have to face it , the mode will never be number on the list , and with the coding it takes 2 years ish to rewrite code so I expect some decent features this year
Maybe they been working on it for a while ? I can only hope
@theprowrestlingshoot oh trust me I believe we're going to get multi-man rivalries this year , I remember your interview did with him , that was like the only thing he was like basically yes on without saying lol
Unfortunately the creative director for WWE 2k games obviously isn't a wrestling fan because then he would do whatever he can to make sure the devs put all of that in the game. There's no way that guy is a wrestling fan because 2k22-2k24 are all complete trash. Think about it, you can't even place your opponent on the announce table, grab a ladder, climb and do your finisher off the ladder or any other diving move off the ladder and through the announce table. Which is something that existed as a gameplay feature way back in the early 2000s.
In no Mercy you could do that, WWF WrestleMania you could on the 64, in all wrestling games on GameCube as well and all the early 2000s smackdown games and more but in a modern wrestling game we can't? The creative director and all the other top people that make the decisions for the WWE games have no passion for their jobs or wrestling and it shows in the product.
They don't even believe in having a base set of gameplay mechanics/features that should never be removed. What I mean is, in Madden(with a few exceptions), NBA 2k, MLB the show, NHL, and PGA, they all have gameplay mechanics that are never removed simply because they are apart of that sport so why can't wrestling games get the same treatment?
They shouldn't be taking out catch as catch can/chain wrestling, we should be able to interfere in all matches, we should be able to go backstage during any match and get ourselves disqualified if it's a normal match type, we should be able to use the ring bell, we should be able to get a double KO if both wrestlers can't make it to their feet while in the ring while the ref does a ten count, we should be able to hold on to submissions while the ref is counting and if you keep holding the ref will disqualify you and try to get you off and do much more I can list.
They need to stop taking realistic gameplay mechanics/features out of the game. Just imagine if in the next Madden EA takes out the hail Mary play, jukes, spins and tackles. How about in the next MLB the show San Diego studios takes out the ability to slide, curve balls, 4-seam fast balls, and there's no more play challenges.
You can definitely tell nowadays. Back then I saw the passion there. The way they used to be happy to talk about it
I stopped reading after you said 2k22-2k24 was trash
I use creation suite, my rise and universe. I play gm a little. I don’t like my faction at all. For me 2k19 is still the gameplay and gameplay features wise.
I love all the modes besides showcase, lol.
One match type would be cool is to have the WCW Battle Bowl this is royal rumble but with two rings.
I'd love that!
Broke my heart reading the title 😢
That's the point! Haha. Sorry, brotha. But the community has been too worried about Universe Mode. It ain't going anywhere.
Dont think universe mode will move the needle. They need more rpg elements and a way to do promos that affect your character. Like madden I only buy wwe every 3 to 5 years. A yearly release just limits the time needed to make the game better. The city seems irrelevant if they kill the servers every other year.
Agreed.
2K said that they introduced promos in Universe and it stuffed up the game and why there was lots of glitches.
They are afraid of touching Universe in case it messes up the game again.
Great video bro!!! As you know as a alot of us Universe is the game for alot of us. Lets hope they come correct this year
I'm staying optimistic, brotha!
Well they never made it good so they should scrap universe mode 🤷🏽♂️
lol dang if that happens I really don’t have a reason to buy the game . I have never played my career on WWE Games prolly since svr I literally just got it for universe .😢
Is that Sting in the thumbnail a mod? If not, I must know the creator.
It is. That's Joe Mashups. Incredible modder.
@theprowrestlingshoot Damn... I could tell it was a mod as soon as I saw the dope shoulder pads...
@ItsAGoodChannel yeah, I obviously did magic on this as well with Photoshop, but the mod itself looks stunning! I knew i wanted it in a thumbnail. I just didn't know where it would fit.
just merge MyGM and Universe mode
I'd be ok with this.
2k14 & sum features in 15 is the blueprint for what they can do now ijs & if they add the island it will be bare bones im not gettin the game til yall get it lol
I’m so confused I thought in 2021 they rebuilt the engine…. am I wrong
They got it managed in 2021. I just know what was said on the interview I did with him. You can go watch on my channel.
I will wait and reserve judgment
Good call.
Aye don't scare me like that
Apologies, lol. Thanks for watching!
I agree with the decision if they weren’t going to update it anyways. Rather them make GM Mode & Career better
Interesting
Don't worry.
Bro did call cap 😂 tho I could see it
🤷♂️
Bro u pranked me
Bro i just changed the title to fix it, haha. Too many people freaked out, lol.
Wwe city? What's that?
Interesting thoughts 🤔
🤝
I want to be fair like I said I love universe mode, no matter what but I feel like it’s time to retire universe mode I want to move on for universe mode I feel like everybody’s talking about the island 🏝️ We just don’t know. How it looks like. It should be honest I am super excited for that mode. But look at the bright side. If this is going to be the final year for universe mode. On 2025 I would say thank you universe mode. I love universe mode. We just don’t know what could happen. But I feel like it’s time to retire universe mode. Maybe give us something. On WWE2K27 like. Create a story. ,Create a show, create a pay-per-view, or maybe my galactic mode I’m giving 2K some ideas 💡 I love universe mode. I respect universe mode, but this is gonna be my final year to play it no hate. I just love the mood. We don’t know what’s gonna happen to it anyways we don’t know what’s gonna happen to this mode. If it’s not gonna be fixed, people are read it could get mad and very disappointed.
They could surprise us, brotha. We shall see!
We getting same game small updates just like my faction
Probably
Why bother watching these channels? You don’t sound like you like these games.
@@Razorsedge86 i love the games. Buy every single one regardless. I just hope for the wishlist items of the community.
Universe mode online with 2k login so many active followers get!
This is a lil clickbaity
It's literally not. Learn the difference.
It's taking a shot at the rumors that Universe is going away. In the first 5 seconds of the video, I address it.
This game is gonna be garbage
