SvR 2011 and WWE '12 had the best versions. As we started getting more control, things got worse. I'd rather they make it like those two where surprises actually happen and cutscenes would actually appear.
This makes me feel pretty nostalgic. I still like Rivalry based Universe modes (though 2K14 did it best, personally), but I remember sinking in hours into SvR 11, just playing random matches, getting my CAWs to titles... Want to do something like this for 2K18...
Curtis Simmons well to me universe mode gives you far more options when editing a show for example changing titles and the shows layout. I would be lying if I said I didn’t like the draft but on universe mode you can draft anyone you want including custom characters
SHIVER R wow big deal 😂 you get to edit things that doesnt make the mode better then Gm Mode thats a minor change that should've be added...other then that Universe mode is dull its been the same since 2k15 or 2k16...they say they tryna reflect on wwe tv smh but aren't really close to that mission the way they should be...wheres superstar moral support they do that on WWE Tv... Wheres advertise an marketing system where we can advertise upcoming ppvs to get fans interested
Curtis Simmons like I said in my comment I like the customisation and I don’t really mind if you dont agree and yes I do agree that they should change it up but other then that it’s a pretty good mode
I want them to make universe mode feel more lively and dynamic. You should be able to trigger return cutscenes for injured superstars and I want the draft back. We just need more dynamics
Universe Mode Needs to have that News Feed from Gm Mode...cause this crap we get in Universe mode smh..is trash samething with injuries no type of Advertising for comeback or cut scenes or Choosing when to have them return to attack the guy who got them injured...its like they just come back...i miss Gm Mode in all honesty but if Gm Mode had Cut scenes and let us Full customize ...it would be Damm Good
What they need when they have been missing is backstage cutscenes in universe mode like guys being interviewed like guys planning on attacking people different things that they never add
I like Svr 2011 universe mode presentation the best and the fact there's an option to have it playing even though you're not in the game mode. It felt more lively and the cutscenes were fun to see unexpectedly even though they became repetitive.
Thank you! And yeah I can see that point. I think the mode peaked at WWE' 12 and has declined but I do think it's improved slightly since 2K15 to 2K18. Lots of potential for this mode.
ThisGenGaming i wish they Brought back some of the things that were fun in wwe2k13 like the option to shake there hand and put it in Universe mode again cause...
WWE 13 was my favorite Universe Mode. The customization was great & I loved the addition of statistics. I’m not sure if this was mentioned in the video, but I believe it was the first Universe Mode that allowed you to customize the entire match card before playing. Plus, it was fun to have the modern 2012 roster face off against the Attitude Era roster & even all of the amazing CAWs from Community Creations.
Universe mode really has never lived up to its potential, The fact that the earliest incarnations are the best received says a lot. Universe mode should be awesome by now but instead it's just disappointing especially when you think of the potential the mode has.
WWE 13 and 2K14 actually had a good amount of cutscenes. The last two matches on a minor show were guaranteed to have a cutscene for both games. WWE 13's Universe Mode seems to get overlooked because of the plentiful amount of glitches but it did actually have a decent mode.
WWE '12 may not be a good game to some, but the main menu was so nice looking. The menus were sleek and easy to navigate through man I just loved it. I know it's a really small thing in the game but it's the little things that contribute to me liking a game or not
WWE 2K16's Universe menus had potential, but it was still clunky in areas. I liked how they went with the website background and all that. They should go back to that and improve it.
Joffrey Baratheon Fans want it back for the monopoly type reasons. Reasons like financial planning, building up superstars, etc. They want every other sport games’ GM Mode in a WWE Game. To have GM Mode, the only thing you have to do is take a pen and paper and play exhibition matches. That’s what it was, a text based Mode with broken mechanics. Universe Mode isn’t perfect but I actually feel in control of my version of the WWE and I don’t have to play with another person to enjoy it. I love the cutscenes, ability to create everything imaginable, and being able to book what I want and when I want.
GMO was horrible to me because of Match ratings made no sense if they have the ratings that they have now which mean the actual match can be good no matter who's in it that makes more sense
I would love for them to add tons of storylines for rivalries in Universe mode instead of me making up my own stories in my head like action figures...
With every step forward, they seem to take a step back, and I just don't understand why. Why introduce a cool feature only to get rid of it in the very next game? Even if the mode isn't to my liking (which it's usually not but There is nothing else to really do) at least I would be happy to know their is a lot of fun stories and surprises to be had here, but no their really isn't.
I would like to see the ability to script the match, like in real life. It will make it even more like your show, with how you want it to happen. It might make MathWiz's universe mode easier. Plus, the draft would be nice, but two version's of it. The one where you pick who you want, and the one where it's randomized from the other brand what you get if you won a draft match.
I came just to make this comment lol. a lot of things established just need to be stacked up, like more dynamics, promos, draft, etc. including scripts.
The lost grim empire 2K is more focused on simulation gameplay. Just make a mixture both. Some should be crazy and the other like real life. A balance.
Universe mode with being able to create cutscenes like you could in WWE's old Create a Story mode, that way you can make a post match assault cutscene that could show someone being injured and carted out the arena and take them off TV for a few weeks. Maybe even allow us to type out the weekly updates. Basically give full power of customization to the player.
Ik u posted this a few years ago. But I had no idea WWE 12 had show intros lol. They should've kept it around in WWE 13 through 2k16. They brought it back in WWE 2K17 then got rid of it again by 2k23. My opinion show intros are the best part of the show. Love the Pyro.
In wwe 2k19 you should be able to pick a superstar to be commissioner and another one to be gm for a brand and you should be able to use them backstage and another thing I want is for stars to matter like how gm mode had a rating I want to see which show did better!
I would have to say that WWE 12's universe mode was the best but I like the current one so far in 2k18. If I would change one thing in the mode in 2k19 I would change the pyro in the mode for the ppvs cause it gets repetitive seeing the same pyro animation for every ppv expect for wrestlemania. I know that's just a small thing but it wouldn't hurt.
1. update on this 2. I love the most of SvR11 Surprise Rematches, 2nd Fights, #1 Contender Matches, and Calendar Awareness 3. WWE '12-2K14 Draft 4. 2 Shows or a show and PPV on same day 5. up to 7 Shared shows can share a PPV, Titles, and MITB 6. PPV can be on any day of the week like making a show or minor show it should show Major Show, Minor Show, or Pay-Per-View 7. Calendar Mor Realistic
Personally, I think I agree with the people who have been posting that Universe Mode lost a little bit of its luster when we got the ability to control and create rivalries. I do think that's a great option, but it seems like once they added that in, Universe Mode lost the spontaneous feel of the original ones. I loved the concept that the game tracked your matches to build rivalries on its own, and then trigger cut scenes to fuel a story. Now, we select a rivalry, and it's just repetitive booking with the same cycle of cutscenes. While I didn't play deeply into 2K18, I felt in my limited experience that it started to bring back some of that spontaneity. It would see who I was putting in matches, and the outcomes, and could trigger a Potential Rivalry. Then that potential rivalry could lead to an actual rivalry. But unfortunately for the most part I feel like I have more control when I *don't* create a rivalry, and just play the rivalries and matches out myself. So I would absolutely love to see some of the spontaneity come back into Universe Mode so that every time I open it up, I could have a surprise waiting in store for me. Either way, I'm excited to get my hands on WWE 2K19 and fire up this year's Universe Mode.
What we need is a good Universe mode for once. We had good Career modes in the past with the ol' Season modes and RTWMs but we've never once had a good Universe mode which makes it more valuable. And by good Universe mode I mean one where playing through the shows feel like how they do in real life in terms of storytelling, presentation and transitions. All they have to do is make the storylines of all rivalries be as good as the storylines of Ps2 season modes, with variety of promos types (i.e backstage, interview, multi-man, stage/titantron promos) with the promos relating to whats been happening in those rivalries and what the rivalries are about. They also need to improve the presentation and transitions to each match to the point that they rival real life. It feels like 2K/Dukes cares more for the creation suite and cosmetic side of Universe mode rather than how playing through the shows themselves are like, which is backwards. If they put all their Universe mode effort on the shows themselves it'll produce much better results and make the game in general much better. And if all that is too much for 2K/Dukes they should add the essentials to Universe mode this year (Or next) and expand upon them each year later. The essentials being: - More promo types: Add enough promo types so that we don't have to constantly use the same promo types each show. Promo types like heel/face turns and Tag Team form and break up leave too much of an impact on the wrestlers doing those promos that we can't use them often enough. We need more promo types that can be used whenever like the Call Out and Self Promotion promos but feels different than those two promo types. We need Tag Team Call Out and Tag Team Self Promotion, Interview promos and Tag Team version(s) of interview promos and if they can do more than that add Championship versions of each promo type. They can add more promo types in the future after including the ones I just mentioned. - Cutscenes with purpose: Too many cutscenes in universe mode have the same purpose and are unnecessary. This should be fixed so that the generic beat down cutscenes are replaced with the in game break outs and interferences. This would give room for cutscenes (New and old) that each have their own unique purpose similar to the Universe mode cutscenes of WWE '12. These two essentials should be the bare minimum. I guarantee if they just include these essentials Universe mode will be much better and loved by the community and will appeal more to newcomers too. Only when they make a good Universe mode can they call the game a true simulation. Simulation doesn't mean making the games slow and boring, it means emulating playing through WWE shows in real life.
People say they want multi-man rivalries. I think you should be able to do that. Plus the ability to take two rivalries in progress, or even more, and combine them together .
My ideal wwe game would have a roster spanning from svr06-wwe2k14 (with all the dlc) and the gameplay /weapon physics/feel/vibe/lighting (idk what to call it but that game felt so alive to me) of svr 11. The universe mode experience of wwe 12 (good balance btwn spontaneity and continuity) and universe customisation of wwe 13 (with the stats and all, don't really need to explicitly create rivalries, I get that some ppl like that but I find it unsexy tbh). Bring back create a story, keep the ability to fight in crowds and the base of the stage as well as go backstage. Maybe even use a wrestler like the modern superstar mode and start off the show backstage like svr 11s rtwm and I'd pay anything to get my hands on that.
whats the difference beetwen universe mode and GM ? I see videos of people wanting the return of GM mode, but universe seems very similar (I never play those modes sorry)
I'm late, but nobody answered so... GM mode had you control ONE show & the A.I. controlled the other show. Then a draft was held to determine rosters. Then you have to sign your wrestlers with your available funds, purchase storyline writers, & pay for certain match types as you had them on a show. Putting on a varied show, with good rivalries, would net you better ratings & more money than your rival show. Gotta keep your superstars paid, involved, & not losing every week or they'd jump to the other show. Book a full year of programming to beat the rival GM & win the GM of the year award. That was GM mode. VERY different than universe.
Personally, this Is my favorite mode in the current games. I understand why people don't but I just really enjoy the sandbox element of it and the hours you can put in to it.
Lol when i had WWE SmackDown vs RAW 2011 on my PS2 i was always gone to this mode and played the first match against Primo and won then Vince McMahon comes out sending an unlockable character for me to fight and then when i unlocked him by beating him there was Vince lying on the ground with his suit as if it was him that i fought instead LMAO.
The thing i hate about the new universe modes 2k17 to 2k19 are the long ass real life show intros like the actual raw and smack down intros but besides that i like the newer universe modes
What that's all you hate theres more to dislike like how its been the same and doesnt have that real life wwe feel you dont even get to hype up anything like no commercials or marketing build up
The Smackdown Vs RAW Season Mode draft where you get to hand pick Superstars and then the rest are randomized should return in WWE 2K19. Also add more surprises and cutscenes. And finally the option to add a fourth (or fifth) title to Universe Mode
Good video. Will do my wishlist for Universe Mode tomorrow along with gameplay and my career. For me, I would like to like to have the chaos back. In WWE 2k14 in a 1 on 1 match, random superstars will interfere. We need more randomness. I would also like to see Tournaments back in universe mode like King Of The Ring/ Dusty Classic/Gold Rush.
I wish add scene in backstage and interview on during rival in universe mode. Im not talk about my career mode or my player mode. Especially add draft or shake-up in universe mode too.
i'd like for the Storyline chooser to be returned for 2K19.. atleast, it could make a rivalry different from another and the next... and also i'd like a choice to have cool vignette kinda videos for everytime there's new superstars debuting or there's a returning superstar, or have a surprise run-in from the crowd like in real-life from debutants and returning superstars.. now that would be cool..
Enable/disable draft should be an option for after wrestlemania, and the rivalry story customisation from 2k15 should come back. I always said they need to add a way to customise the stories yourself and funnily enough 2k15 was the only one I never played so I never saw it
I would like to see an online version of universe mode with a draft and gm mode elements. That way you and a friend can play universe mode together and see who has the best show or brand.
If they make draft back in wwe 2k universe I might complete a full week on my universe instead of deleting my universe And make all stone cold attires return
I hope they bring back the setup of svr11, with the randomness of 12, but definitely give me rivalry stories from 2k15.... Why would they take that out?
I think the draft mode should return
Hello may you please describe the draft mode cause I have Xbox 360 2k 17
And create a super move from 2k 14 and 13
Ill I would make it more realistic but I don’t like it
And there should be a slammy and hall of Fame special in universe mode
What is draft mode
SvR 2011 and WWE '12 had the best versions. As we started getting more control, things got worse. I'd rather they make it like those two where surprises actually happen and cutscenes would actually appear.
WWE '12 is where we got all the control, so that isn't the problem.
HypnoGaming I think he means control of rivalries
@Guyinthecommentsection hey does anyone know how to make a new save for a a universe mode in svr 2011

wish they could let us use superstar threads on universe mode in those games
SvR 2011, WWE '12, and WWE '13 will always be my favorite when it comes to Universe Mode!

6 tag team rivalries
Stable/Faction rivalries. Wanna relive the gang wars of WWF '97.
WWE 12 REALLY Had the best universe mode wow
-Ratings and more compitition between sd live and raw
- more cutscenses
- more options you can do during promos

If I could get a universe move exactly with the randomness of WWE 12 with todays graphics I’d be so happy
SvR 2011- wwe 12: cutscenes happens a lot
Wwe 13 and onward: cutscenes are now rare
Wwe 2k15- onward: cutscenes are not rare anymore

Xander 8 years
Xander and it should stay gm mode been in one game and look how some fans still wants him back

Literately Every Wrestling game have that mode
GMO was horrible to me because of Match ratings made no sense if they have the ratings that they have now which mean the actual match can be good no matter who's in it that makes more sense
GM Mode is overrated. Season Mode is by far the greatest mode, especially in HCTP, SVR 05, 06, and 07.
SvR 08's season mode was the best imo.
I would love for them to add tons of storylines for rivalries in Universe mode instead of me making up my own stories in my head like action figures...
I now know why 2k23 universe mode isnt as addicting as 2k14s
With every step forward, they seem to take a step back, and I just don't understand why. Why introduce a cool feature only to get rid of it in the very next game? Even if the mode isn't to my liking (which it's usually not but There is nothing else to really do) at least I would be happy to know their is a lot of fun stories and surprises to be had here, but no their really isn't.
WWE 12 had plenty of surprise legend returns in its universe.
Etox Edge it sucks
Etox Edge At least they got rid of the option to have to play matches to unlock rivalries like WWE 2K15

Only when they make a good Universe mode can they call the game a true simulation. Simulation doesn't mean making the games slow and boring, it means emulating playing through WWE shows in real life.
What about the career mode merging with universe mode and the ability to import any wwe 2k game roster ever played on the system
All of the cut scenes should be branching, but instead they do the damn handshake crap when you dont want them to.
I wish you could choose what cutscenes to add, make your own story, use tournaments, and even create tweets or article
People say they want multi-man rivalries. I think you should be able to do that. Plus the ability to take two rivalries in progress, or even more, and combine them together .
In SVR 2011 you could turn off that option which make every match a Universe mode match with analog stick.
Loving these videos man keep up the good work
They need to put everything from SvR 2011-WWE2K15 back in Universe mode
Only SVR 11 to WWE '12. '13 is where the mode started to go downhill.
Awesome video i hope one day you will be the best wwe youtuber
Thanks for the nice comment and support! The channel keeps on growing because of awesome people like you :)
I saw shad gaspard in the video and it made me feel sad now he's missing :_(
11 and 12 was the best. To me at least
The return of the Draft
Whaat do you think is the best universe mode?
WWE' 12 for me.
@ThisGenGaming
What’s do you think is the worst universe mode
Either 2K15 or 2K16. Nothing much changed and stuff got taken out, lots of old cutscenes too and not many new.
Powerstarmario 17 That would be WWE 2K16.
12,17,18
My ideal wwe game would have a roster spanning from svr06-wwe2k14 (with all the dlc) and the gameplay /weapon physics/feel/vibe/lighting (idk what to call it but that game felt so alive to me) of svr 11. The universe mode experience of wwe 12 (good balance btwn spontaneity and continuity) and universe customisation of wwe 13 (with the stats and all, don't really need to explicitly create rivalries, I get that some ppl like that but I find it unsexy tbh).
Bring back create a story, keep the ability to fight in crowds and the base of the stage as well as go backstage. Maybe even use a wrestler like the modern superstar mode and start off the show backstage like svr 11s rtwm and I'd pay anything to get my hands on that.
Also, implement some of the cutscenes from the old create a story in universe mode (I see these guys lack creativity and or priorities)
It was so much better and simpler back then.
WWE 13 gave you a chance to create a show. I think it was very cool and i remember reviving ECW and playing match after match
Best WWE games from 2010-2020 svr 2011 wwe 12, 13, wwe 2k14, 2k16
whats the difference beetwen universe mode and GM ? I see videos of people wanting the return of GM mode, but universe seems very similar (I never play those modes sorry)
I'm late, but nobody answered so...
GM mode had you control ONE show & the A.I. controlled the other show. Then a draft was held to determine rosters. Then you have to sign your wrestlers with your available funds, purchase storyline writers, & pay for certain match types as you had them on a show. Putting on a varied show, with good rivalries, would net you better ratings & more money than your rival show. Gotta keep your superstars paid, involved, & not losing every week or they'd jump to the other show.
Book a full year of programming to beat the rival GM & win the GM of the year award.
That was GM mode. VERY different than universe.
the draft, and the option to add tournaments to the match card
Wwe 12 has best universe mode ever made in wwe games
I want to be able to choose the storylines again. I keep getting the same ones over and over.
They need more cutscenes and rivalry types
Personally, this Is my favorite mode in the current games. I understand why people don't but I just really enjoy the sandbox element of it and the hours you can put in to it.
Bradley2075 yeah Universe mode/running my own shows is the only thing that keeps me playing for a few months after getting the game haha
Need the no.1 contenders match thing to happen again
Lol when i had WWE SmackDown vs RAW 2011 on my PS2 i was always gone to this mode and played the first match against Primo and won then Vince McMahon comes out sending an unlockable character for me to fight and then when i unlocked him by beating him there was Vince lying on the ground with his suit as if it was him that i fought instead LMAO.
wwe 12 and 13 was amazing
WWE 12 is my favorite
Nice video bro
WWE 12 universe mode was so good
Awesome video 👍👍👍👍👍👍 👍
The draft should return and the ability to control your cut scenes. And when you’re doing a promo I wish the wrestlers could talk
2:09 stone cold & maryse ... best tag team eu
I gotta get wwe 12 again
A 3 man tag team champions belt. So many trios in the division
0:44 Randy Gets Robbed LOL
Great video man! It would be best that they return GM Mode for WWE 2K19.
Great video as always.
The thing i hate about the new universe modes 2k17 to 2k19 are the long ass real life show intros like the actual raw and smack down intros but besides that i like the newer universe modes
What that's all you hate theres more to dislike like how its been the same and doesnt have that real life wwe feel you dont even get to hype up anything like no commercials or marketing build up
The Smackdown Vs RAW Season Mode draft where you get to hand pick Superstars and then the rest are randomized should return in WWE 2K19. Also add more surprises and cutscenes. And finally the option to add a fourth (or fifth) title to Universe Mode
Any here before 100,000 views
Good video. Will do my wishlist for Universe Mode tomorrow along with gameplay and my career. For me, I would like to like to have the chaos back. In WWE 2k14 in a 1 on 1 match, random superstars will interfere. We need more randomness. I would also like to see Tournaments back in universe mode like King Of The Ring/ Dusty Classic/Gold Rush.
Is a draft in WWE SmackDown versus raw 2011 universe mode?
I wish add scene in backstage and interview on during rival in universe mode. Im not talk about my career mode or my player mode. Especially add draft or shake-up in universe mode too.
WWE Universe is the Best of the Wwe Games 👏👏👏 nice Vídeo Bro 👌
i'd like for the Storyline chooser to be returned for 2K19.. atleast, it could make a rivalry different from another and the next... and also i'd like a choice to have cool vignette kinda videos for everytime there's new superstars debuting or there's a returning superstar, or have a surprise run-in from the crowd like in real-life from debutants and returning superstars.. now that would be cool..
Enable/disable draft should be an option for after wrestlemania, and the rivalry story customisation from 2k15 should come back. I always said they need to add a way to customise the stories yourself and funnily enough 2k15 was the only one I never played so I never saw it
Thank u very much for the video i subscribed ❤️ i have xbox360 and i really wanted to see how the game evolved on next gen
Universe mode use to be good
It was never that good to begin with but 2k14 made it worse.
ericdxfan511 STFU
2k made it worse. They ran that mode into the ground.
Awesome vid
i hope universe mode is improved better and revamped next year
Wwe 11 and WWE 12 & 13 are the best
Jason Rodriguez So before 2k took over
Nah '13 isn't as good, also 2k14 was basically a THQ game
You forgot to mention that next gen has no draft stuff and has rare cutscenes
they need to bring back that draft thing
I would like to see an online version of universe mode with a draft and gm mode elements. That way you and a friend can play universe mode together and see who has the best show or brand.
If they make draft back in wwe 2k universe
I might complete a full week on my universe instead of deleting my universe
And make all stone cold attires return
The only downfall to WWE svr 2011 and 12 was that there was only 4 matches that could be played on major shows which made it worse.
I hope they bring back the setup of svr11, with the randomness of 12, but definitely give me rivalry stories from 2k15.... Why would they take that out?
Imagine these in WWE now with the amazing graphics I miss playing a universe where u could enjoy the game hopefully 2K lose the contract soon
Basically went from Exhibition Mode 2.0 to GM Mode: Sandbox Edition
Nice video
