MyFaction. Showcase. Simple. They are so anger inducing. I'm sorry for my little tiny rant here but I'm neurodivergent. Showcase is so damn unnecessarily hard and time consuming and MyFaction is just a card game with no fulfillment, whatsoever.
Showcase I have no issues with personally it's one of the things I play day 1 then forget it existed as for my faction........ God I have a love hate relationship with it like I kinda enjoy it til I gotta do a 5 minute match and I lose due to time
Yes! Some of the necessary set-ups in Showcase are horrible. I remember one of the Bret matches this year I couldn't get the finisher cinematic to work to finish the match. I did the sharpshooter as was required but the opponent just tapped out and I failed the match... MyFaction isn't even a card game. It's an extremely RNG loot box mode designed to keep a constant cash flow coming to 2k after we've purchased the game. The fact they hide all the best skins we want behind a paywall in this fashion is dirty.
I would love, “end of show moments” in universe mode. A rivalry ends at a PLE, and then after the match, a cut scene of your next rivalry plays to end the PLE and set up the next show.
Disagree they need more Creation content, and to fix a lot of lingering bugs regarding the logos, i could not care less about playing online with people who just spam the block button and create moveset that just abuse things so you cant reverse it
@JustMattLive_ it's not just online player vs. player swrvers. It's all of the myfaction modes: live events, weekly towers, faction wars, & proving grounds. So to have all of those modes crash after every single match, it becomes infuriating quickly
What's wrong with WWE 2K24? Broken universe MyFaction models locked CC bugs & low loading when downloads more content Tag Team AI logic broken Old Engine & Animation motion (10 years like Kane Chokeslam!!!) I hope 26 series of franchise will develope not by 2K!!!
10 year animation? We've got 20 year old animations such as that corner Burning Hammer, and Powerbomb and Senton combo. I know that they can't update every single move. But it's annoying when fun animations that got brought in the previous game get removed, but we still have these animations that I don't think that anyone has used. And with the contrast, some animations get worse with time like Kane's Chokeslam. There's old animations that still hold up but jeez.
That's why the moves pack was so cool... no stress to have more characters, but adds a TON of moves.. There are too many glitches, dlc packs with MOSTLY taunts.. They keep selling us a broken game with the same glitches every year... at this point im NOT buying 2k25 I need them to woo me...Things NEED to change....
-MyFaction -Very repetitive gameplay -Very repetitive animations -Universe sucks and takes a backseat every year -Showcase. Not because it's hard but its lazy with the cuts between real life and game graphics -Servers crashing all the time
WWE 2K24 is the first wrestling game I've played since 2K16. And I love it, I don't play fraction mode. I 100% of the road to WrestleMania and now I just play exhibition matches. I'm a fan of just seeing dream matches. My PS5 says I've clocked in over 400 hours of gameplay😅
@hogan4670 lol I honestly missed a lot, before I played 2K16, I haven't played a wrestling game since here comes the pain on PS2 🤣😂🤣 stop watching wrestling around 2003. After Stone Cold and the Rock left. I stopped watching wrestling all together. WrestleMania 40 brought me back in. And I've been watching Raw and SmackDown and PPV's ever since
@@hogan46702k24 is better than 2k19. 2k19 was way too slow gameplay wise. And too easy on legend difficulty even with ai reversals at 100 and user at 0.
Same, apparently I picked horribly because I started with 2K20 and thought 2K22 would be better. They’re both terribly bugged. However, 2K24 has been the best next gen game I’ve bought so far, very immersive for a wrestling game! It takes me back to playing SVR 2006, seeing their models and modes for the first time. Then finding it all over again in 2K24, definitely a new nostalgia for me, I hope others find it too! ✨
Matt..it is this one sentence: Myfaction doesn't have any rewards attainable for people who just wanna play casually, thus no incentive to play more when a bigger prize is available because we already feel left out and behind." Bill Murray is the best Ghostbuster GET IT TOGETHER MAN, ...I don't like toast.
The problem is after the first month or 2, the game is boring! MyCareer was fine but messed up with adding the fake stuff to the Women’s MyCareer. Showcase mode is wack especially with the showcase music playing in the background while having to do certain objectives to move forward & unlock certain attires or etc..
1:39 yes making people have to pay $50 to buy a persona card for a game that only lasts a year is insane if they want people to spend money they need to make things cheap. They act like they’re selling physical things.
The new rivalry system sorta makes up. It’s better than just having a story between rivals, adding rival actions gives the exhibition matches more depth. I’ve almost forgotten about the promo system personally. For whatever reason, I can’t get over them removing show intros. It’s not a dealbreaker, but I liked that feature when it came to PPVs and shows. I’d change entire match cards to fit a superstar if the show took place in their hometown, now it’s like “well it doesn’t matter since I have no clue where tf we’re at” 😂
I think the A.I. for cpu, ref, managers, and interferers, needs to be upped. the ref sometimes just stands there instead of counting, but can see me hit the opponent with a weapon out of the back of their head. managers are starting to do more, but only one , the 2nd, 3rd managers dont do anything except get you dq for interference.
I just thought of this like half way through the video. They have a superstar mode for Universe why not make it more story focused? like a career mode with maybe IDK like 70 various storylines for wrestlers? I think the issue is the game needs to be gutted in so many ways and with a yearly release they just don't have the time needed to do it. IDK what the answer is but I am someone who is story driven in games period so not having an enjoyable one for a couple years is deflating
The best 2k for me is 19. Because 20 was so awful I had to play it for a extra year and it still kept me entertained. If it wasn't for that I say 24 is an great upgrade, minus a few problems.
2k14 had a great roster, still playable today, universe is still fun, custom soundtracks, we got the Wolfpac on that game as well minus having to grind or chance opening packs to win the persona cards, every mania arena up to 20, alt attires for eras of stars instead of duplicate guys to fill in roster, 2k14 is very much still better than 24 imo.
2K24 is freaking amazing for Diva stans and women’s wrestling fans!! We haven’t had, Lita, Molly, Trish and Stacy altogether in a game since HCTP, SVR ‘05, and ‘06. With Chyna to roundup the Attitude/Ruthless roster. Jade, Scarlett, and Maxxine finally being playable is also a win. At least Scarlett gets her 15 minutes in my universe. Scarlett is Sable 2.0, as fine as the day is bright. I’ll never understand why the push Liv as the sensual one when Scarlett is a 11/10 any day of the week and has solid experience.
I wish they would bring back superstar stances and special grapples. Example: most wrestlers don’t have the same exact wrestling stance and back then almost everyone had a different stance and ring in and ring out exit as well as grappling style Kane used to have a grapple where the opponent punches him in the face like 2 or 3 times and then he blocks the next punch and it automatically turns into a grapple and some of those pre-grapples actually lead into the next wrestling move they’d perform
Why are they still dropping stuff for this game ??? I can’t even download a caw without it screwing up every single caw I have on the game. Right now there’s glitch where any image you download overrights the caws or images you already have on game making it impossible to start your own caw series or even play with caws in universe why would I in November want to be forced to play with base game characters and attires?? It’s November and there still game breaking glitches in the game yet we advertise 2k25 instead of telling them to fix 24? Please no one buy this game man they’ll keep giving us crap if you take it 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️boycott this sht please
I don't like fighting stance either. I always click R3 to stop it. . . . What I do like doing is pushing up and down while doing a submission. Especially during "Torture Rack.
They need to add top rope or ladder finishers through tables like a swanton off the ladder through a table. Also they need to add the animations if the wrestling getting hurt when getting powerbombed on the ladder or a superplex off the top rop onto a ladder and they get hurt from it
They need to majorly improve weapon interactions in general....in older games you could do so much more with chairs, ladders and all kinda of weapons. Also the OMG moments worked A LOT better than breaking barricades nowadays...
I do agree with the cutscenes returning I think the slingshot tech ruins it because it takes you out of the match after you're done It pretty much does most of the objectives for you at the end which really hurts the game in my opinion more than helps
I would like to see a few things Outside the ring fighting needs to be enhanced to include seeing things from the SVR series return such as pulling weapons from the crowds interacting with fans, pointing at signs, ripping signs, pouring drinks on your opponent and also have the ability to pull the mat up to expose the concrete. Also bring back the OMG barricade break. Also the cage, ladder and TLC matches should require a finisher or signature to be completed in order to partake in the mini climb game. Too many times matches end on a bodyslam or clothesline, cuz your opponent stays down forever. You should get a 30 second window to climb and win a match only after an sig or finisher is performed.
I haven’t played since MyFaction introduced Roman and Rock personas Honestly really enjoyed 2K24 and would have been a full time player the whole way, but the personas let me down 😭😭😭
With the new TNA deal WWE has, I would love to see DLC focus on NXT superstars and TNA wrestlers that come to WWE occasionally, a TNA pack with Joe Hendry, Jordynn Grace, among others. While the NXT pack has newer superstars that have debuted in NXT like Zaria.
Servers suck Mid air finishers don’t really trigger from top rope AI gets up too quickly Ladder match mini game ends too quickly Custom images appearing on custom superstars Can only show up In royal rumble match with your regular attire Sometimes a match in universe will glitch and end up with the same stipulation as the match before The game is always good when it first comes out then the patches ruin it
You know what I want? Gimme all my content without making me play all these other modes of the game I don't care about. I work long hard days I don't wanna then fight the game to get the content I want to enjoy what I'm trying to do with it.
I really want to see MITB be updated in exibition, give us a option to cash in the brifcase as the MITB holder, it should automatically have the opponent be the champion. I don't like having to search though my list just to find the MTIB case holder and the champion connected to that case.
My idea for the persona cards atleast is that during the last 2 months of the game cycle, 2K should just give us live events where we can choose any card to complete the challenges and then unlock them for other game modes. That way people who want it early can grind it out and unlock those early, or people who want to wait for the easier live event, can wait until the last 2 months of the game cycle to get it. Either way, people will still play MyFaction to unlock the persona cards.
Before the game officially came out in the 3 day early access, online servers worked when i played online. After the game released, they quit working. At some point the community creations part of the servers to crap as well. I used to be able to jump on and search through creations with no problem now it will kick me off randomly when i'm going through creations. Every update breaks my downloaded wrestlers and its so annoying. Hair is gone, certain images wont work or a design is broken and back to its original state messing up the creations. Only thing unexpected that happens in universe is when random teams get put back together after an update. I have to go back and delete some of em. I dont think ive seen a cutscene in forever. I'm leaning towards not buying the next game. Don't get me started on myfaction...ugh forever.
Wwe2k ONLY NEEDS 1 thing, an unlock system like no mercy, where every fight in story mode you get money, then u spend money on characters/attire like Shawn Michaels , they should stear back in that direction FOR A MORE FUN REPLAYING VIDEOGAME… BUT THEY won’t cuz now and days they rather sell you characters than have u grind it smh
MyGM mode is the primary mode I play in. If they could somehow include the Royal Rumble and Elimination Chamber (match and PLE) then it would be perfect. I also would like more match types and be able to afford to draft bigger rosters at the start of each season.
No single player mode in any game should ever have expiring content. I understand multi-player modes, but we should be able to go back and play any single-player content we missed if we fell behind or waited to buy the game. This increases replay value and makes people better able to keep up with multi-player if they have any desire to play multi-player. You shouldn't have to feel like you might have to miss out on part of the game if you have a job that keeps you working overtime.
Also fix the create an entrance. Can’t preview lighting and motions without having to select said motion and then having to go back into the menu just to repeat the process
I've played about 50 hours on 2k24 and I've got the ps3 back out to play SvsR in career mode. It's so much fun. Just a case of getting used to the older controls. That's the thing 2k right now feels the same every year and we want change. They play it safe and looking back on the older games they really went for it and they last the test of time.
Ultimate hot take... 2k20 was the last genuinely fun version of the game outside of the bugs. The dlc brought back the old fun wackiness too the game like when Candace changed u into a woman or taker changed Finley and Santino into zombies etc. This is the first year I've skipped coz there's just nothing in it to draw me back too it this year...
They better never take our universe mode. I love that mode. If anything, they need to EXPAND universe mode. There’s so much replay value there if you’re just creative.
Paying 70-120 dollars to have to potentially spend more money in a card game for other characters is rather upsetting. Also has to be good, got nominated for sports game of the year 😂 As I said before I had an easier time beating black myth wukong 3 times and getting my platinum trophy than I did pulling a persona card (I purchased the roman one with in game VC or MFP) but that proves the point 😂
Sports game of the year? For 2022? It's the same pig but paintes red this year around. OH WAIT...all sports games are releasing 70$ patches for last years game with minor changes and just an updated roster calling it a new game.
i just started playing this game when it was "free" for ps+ . my fav thing is the legends roster. and the gauntlet match. this is the best game since 19
WWE 2K25 should include: -Every WWE Superstar that ever lived -Every WWE Arena ever -Intergender Match -Buried Alive Match -5 Stages of Hell Match -They should allow you to go outside the arena and brawl -No Myfaction -No MyGm -6 player couch co-op compatibility -30 men in the ring at the same time -Play as Paul Heyman
Couple of the things you listed would take so many Gigabyte to download, have licensing issues, makes gameplay very slow, And causes more game crashes than 2k20. For MyFaction, I understand. But for MyGM, they should have made it like a updated SVR one.
I run an e-fed using Universe Mode and 9 streams out of 10 it's a struggle to get through a show without some weird glitch or error or limitation that I have to work around. Every year they promise to work on Universe Mode and every year it's the same slop with one or two cool new features which (surprise surprise) usually don't work. I just wish 2K loved the series as much as I do. Also, MyFaction is pointless and Showcase is so boring I literally pay to skip it.
I actually love this game so far, a wrestling game hasn’t given me this much fun since I was a kid playing SVR 2006! I picked up 2K20 and 2K22 and they felt bare bones and way more broken compared to what’s going on in 2K24. I play for the women’s wrestling and am absolutely loving the roster! The new veterans and next generation look more genuine and less cookie cutter in style. The roster offers Legends, Veterans, NXT, Divas, and Retro wrestlers. So it means the world to me to be able to have a match with Stacy, Trish, Lita, and Molly and emulate SVR again. While finally getting to play as Scarlett or Maxxine and check out the NXT roster. Oh, and Jade freaking Cargill, nuff said!!! MyUniverse is my go-to so the new rivalry options make it feel more immersive and equivalent to when we had promo options. Though the removal of show intros is kind of a bust and almost invalidates creating a show if you only see the venue through matches. Nevertheless it’s still a solid mode! Seeing old school exhibition matches, even if it’s just 2-3 still makes the game feel like Christmas having Coffin and Ambulance matches for the best rivalry. Guest referee is my favorite since it overlooks the intergender wrestling block, allowing for some solid intergender moments that should be allowed in video games. So it’s nice to be able to have some sort of that ability in-game since SVR days. All-in-all I’m always excited to play this game, whereas 2K20 is virtually unplayable, 2K22 was also highly bugged and forgotten, while 2K24 nearly feels right in every aspect. Even if 2K25 is a next gen exclusive, I can definitely hold on to 2K24 for another 4-5 years as my main wrestling game! Awesome game hands down.
I actually 100% agree on MyFaction. It is genuinely really fun at its best. The problems however completely kill the mode. The repetitive nature of live events sucks. The bang for your buck is abismal. And yes that's the majority of the mode. But if they can just follow like a Diamond Dynasty model of MLB the show. So much better. Give us packs that are easier to get. 1 pack should not be $10. MLB you spend $10 you can get a good 10 packs out of that. Give us our standard packs. Featured cards can come from a slightly more expensive pack that have a higher chance of pulling one of those featured cards.
My main issue is not enough CAW slots and the 1000 images. Also there’s not much else to do once you beat MyRise and Showcase. The MyFaction stuff needs to go but knowing 2K they won’t drop it.
Simple thing but two things really bother me about the last two editions. How close the camera is for the hard cam, and having to grapple for most moves. Such huge steps backwards.
Matt if you change Triple H (King of Kings) and Triple H '14 entrance and victory to The Authority theme it fits him so much better. And add Tilt-a-whirl Slam 1 to DDP'S signature because its missing its called a trip to the Diamond mine
When I started playing WWE 2K24, it felt repetitive, similar to watching those terrible PPVs from the 00's where Cena consistently retained his title. Even the new match types are just rehashed versions of the submission system and lack effective gamification, much like MyRise and Showcase, feel like more of the same. If they're going to keep Showcase mode, along with removing match cuts, like you suggested, they should also eliminate objectives as obstacles for unlockables. It's getting older than "Classy" Freddie Blassie was when he motivated the WWE to defeat the Alliance. MyRise should be split into different stories, like Road to Wrestlemania, where you can play as CAWs, roster members, or vets, not just an upstart rookie every time. I'd like to see them offer us choices for button mapping, even if the counter system is on one button, so I can map it to the shoulder buttons, for example. The gameplay should prioritize grappling, authentic stances, and counters, focusing on a fun experience that captures the essence of professional wrestling, rather than replicating the TV product exactly. If possible, they should source fans to determine DLC options. When I think of The Total Package, I think of the WCW Nitro '99 set. Additionally, they could incorporate other classic sets like Nitro 2000, WCW Thunder, WCW Saturday Night with the moving doors, or the famous Elks Lodge for ECW. I wish WWE 2K would secure music rights to include the vast wrestling theme library in their games, including the WWE: The Music series, Anthology set, Music of WCW, Federation Years, and Uncaged series, providing ample options for yearly updates. And all of which are already available for streaming but can't be incorporated into the games as themes.
Take out myfaction, add the elements to the WWE shop to unlock content. Let all game modes generate VC to unlock content. Take elements of GM Mode and put them in Universe Mode. WWE 2K Pretty much will be solved featurewise for the most part.
2K should take notes at Sparking zeros episode creator that shit so fun! And I enjoy my faction I’m very busy in my day to day so my faction is perfect for pick up and play. But the grind is ridiculous, they should reward players more MFP per matches and raise odds on personas or needed cards for each pack.
They could add Create A Story again and add new things to it. But then again I don’t wanna think of all the glitches and problems that could potentially come from it 😬
The problem is doing things to the level of a 10-15 year old game can be done with a much smaller team.. much less work needed on character models, textures, etc, since everything looked pretty shitty..
I wouldn't mind the Slingshot mode if it wasn't for all the censoring, God help the devs if the WWE ever upset Logan Paul, future showcases will just be blurry because of the Prime logo on the mat.
I want them to put some of the weapons back in the game and put weapon grapple moves back in. Also add animations of the wrestlers getting slammed onto a weapon
I think the problem with 2K WWE games is that the additional game play eventually became boring, let's compare for a second with MK games, they have the basic storyline, after that the towers (which could be compare as exhibition), and instead of the lazy, impossible, unreachable My faction... what not do a invasion like mode where you can wrestle continuously and get rewards like a DLC wrestler, different attires, hair looks that could be updated on the superstars. In that way 2K could keep the fan base more interested, and playing the game wanting to acquire the additional attires, etc. Just a humble opinion.
@@AssembleShow if they’re gonna continue it, I really wish they would make my faction carry over to the next game because how are you gonna make people pay for the stuff they have on another game that they already paid for and like what’s the point of collecting cards if you don’t get to keep them
@@AssembleShow That sounds like reasonable pricing, especially considering that most o fthe released models are just reskins and NOT original fresh facescans, missing trons and/or music. 5$ should be the absolute max and even then it would be a steep price.
Havent even started watching the vid and can already tell you myfaction is killing this game. 2k has the attires, models and updates to actually keep the game interesting. Like they legitimately do have enough content to keep the community satisfied but they keep locking it to myfaction. And that is what makes it so inaccesible to most of the community. Not all of us are willing to drop 200$ just for a chance to get Big Poppa Pump or 2010 CM Punk. Without myfaction, slowly putting these characters in even if its with a small fee would literally fix most of 2ks problems. Edit: aint no way i saw someone suggest they give the license to EA bruh 💀 they do remember the battlefront 2 fiasco right??
They need to revamp the reversals system no more pump handle suplex and replace the stupid spin leg sweep Remove the lock on moves that allows them to only be used as Signature or finishers
That’s a pretty easy answer 2k just doesn’t want to do anything that actually matters with the game. Here’s a idea that would be nice to see have the towers mode come back from 2k19 and that’s the mode where you could unlock the alternate versions of wrestlers like the Wolfpack or longer hair triple h.
Honestly. In my opinion, if they updated universe, and tweaked it over the course of 1 game and then implemented the same formula in 5 or so games onwards before another overhaul. I'l take that. If they fix Universe, they fix the game. MyFaction works for WHO it works for, i however am not one of them. i generally have no other issues with the game because i play it within its limits and focus on what i enjoy rather than harp on what i hate.

Great sponsor, I have three of their controllers for Switch, they're actually excellent. Love the Hall joysticks and ergonomics.
I’m loving it! Played on switch last night it’s solid
I feel that some of the live events are overpowered on 2k24
Story mode should be included and if they can do it they can have the voices recorded with the wrestlers voice.
MyFaction. Showcase. Simple. They are so anger inducing. I'm sorry for my little tiny rant here but I'm neurodivergent. Showcase is so damn unnecessarily hard and time consuming and MyFaction is just a card game with no fulfillment, whatsoever.
You probably just suck at the game because Showcase is as easy as it gets.
you are absolutely correct.
Showcase I have no issues with personally it's one of the things I play day 1 then forget it existed as for my faction........ God I have a love hate relationship with it like I kinda enjoy it til I gotta do a 5 minute match and I lose due to time
I am codex wwe2k24 with full showcase unlocked and having wwe2k24 caws on the server 😁
Yes! Some of the necessary set-ups in Showcase are horrible. I remember one of the Bret matches this year I couldn't get the finisher cinematic to work to finish the match. I did the sharpshooter as was required but the opponent just tapped out and I failed the match...
MyFaction isn't even a card game. It's an extremely RNG loot box mode designed to keep a constant cash flow coming to 2k after we've purchased the game. The fact they hide all the best skins we want behind a paywall in this fashion is dirty.
I would love, “end of show moments” in universe mode. A rivalry ends at a PLE, and then after the match, a cut scene of your next rivalry plays to end the PLE and set up the next show.
Online servers crashing should have been #1 on this list.
Agreed. It’s unbearable right now
I played online twice had a bad experience and never touched online again I need for 2k to go ham on the netcode for the next game
Disagree they need more Creation content, and to fix a lot of lingering bugs regarding the logos, i could not care less about playing online with people who just spam the block button and create moveset that just abuse things so you cant reverse it
Especially going to community Creations.
You download something then it
Won't go through.
@JustMattLive_ it's not just online player vs. player swrvers. It's all of the myfaction modes: live events, weekly towers, faction wars, & proving grounds. So to have all of those modes crash after every single match, it becomes infuriating quickly
What's wrong with WWE 2K24?
Broken universe
MyFaction models locked
CC bugs & low loading when downloads more content
Tag Team AI logic broken
Old Engine & Animation motion (10 years like Kane Chokeslam!!!)

Don't forget, as of 1.24 patch update, the Logo Importer/Image Manager is absolutely glitched up and doesn't work half the time.
That's why the moves pack was so cool... no stress to have more characters, but adds a TON of moves.. There are too many glitches, dlc packs with MOSTLY taunts.. They keep selling us a broken game with the same glitches every year... at this point im NOT buying 2k25 I need them to woo me...Things NEED to change....
Universe mode in WWE 2K19 was honestly the last one in the series to work properly to say the least
-MyFaction
-Very repetitive gameplay
-Very repetitive animations
-Universe sucks and takes a backseat every year
-Showcase. Not because it's hard but its lazy with the cuts between real life and game graphics
-Servers crashing all the time
And pretty broken AI in almost anything but singles matches

They'll add it back just like apple as a NEW ADDITION lol
@ exactly and many of us will be like “bruh stfu…” when the 2k shills glaze this

I’d change entire match cards to fit a superstar if the show took place in their hometown, now it’s like “well it doesn’t matter since I have no clue where tf we’re at” 😂
I think the A.I. for cpu, ref, managers, and interferers, needs to be upped. the ref sometimes just stands there instead of counting, but can see me hit the opponent with a weapon out of the back of their head. managers are starting to do more, but only one , the 2nd, 3rd managers dont do anything except get you dq for interference.
Yeah the AI is honestly just pathetic...especially in multiman and Tag Team matches and stipulation matches are pretty bad as well
My main issue with the ref is that they love to immediately run between me and my opponent at the start of the match. Almost every time.
@octotiggy yep, all the time. the more the match matters, the worse they are lol.
I just thought of this like half way through the video. They have a superstar mode for Universe why not make it more story focused? like a career mode with maybe IDK like 70 various storylines for wrestlers? I think the issue is the game needs to be gutted in so many ways and with a yearly release they just don't have the time needed to do it. IDK what the answer is but I am someone who is story driven in games period so not having an enjoyable one for a couple years is deflating
The best 2k for me is 19. Because 20 was so awful I had to play it for a extra year and it still kept me entertained.
If it wasn't for that I say 24 is an great upgrade, minus a few problems.
I agree, even though 23 wasn't bad either.
MyFACTION should be on their inevitable mobile ports… AND STAY THERE!
To hell with MyFaction!! 💃
It will never be good until they figure out the whole Universe Mode situation
💯
Universe mode showcase and my faction got to go
@@theoutsiderjess1869if they got rid of universe the replay value tanks, not everybody plays random matches
@@theoutsiderjess1869Dang, might as well throw out the whole thing. MyFaction definitely, but not franchise staples, that’s goofy.
2k14 had a great roster, still playable today, universe is still fun, custom soundtracks, we got the Wolfpac on that game as well minus having to grind or chance opening packs to win the persona cards, every mania arena up to 20, alt attires for eras of stars instead of duplicate guys to fill in roster, 2k14 is very much still better than 24 imo.
I’m buying a PS3 soon for this specific purpose. My old one croaked.
Universe is basically the same than in 2K24...I'd even say it's better because there is less broken jank in it.
2K24 is freaking amazing for Diva stans and women’s wrestling fans!! We haven’t had, Lita, Molly, Trish and Stacy altogether in a game since HCTP, SVR ‘05, and ‘06. With Chyna to roundup the Attitude/Ruthless roster.
Jade, Scarlett, and Maxxine finally being playable is also a win. At least Scarlett gets her 15 minutes in my universe.
Scarlett is Sable 2.0, as fine as the day is bright. I’ll never understand why the push Liv as the sensual one when Scarlett is a 11/10 any day of the week and has solid experience.
Thanks for the shout out, Matt, YEAH! Keep up the great work!!
Great outro with the cup. 😂👍
Thanks for sticking around!
I miss the tower man it’s came and went lmao
0:10 that’s CAP
It’s a opinions
Number 1 contender's matches make sense. Those rankings should mean something more. I remember when PS1 Smackdown games had rankings for exhibition
They won’t change as long as we keep buying
I wish they would bring back superstar stances and special grapples. Example: most wrestlers don’t have the same exact wrestling stance and back then almost everyone had a different stance and ring in and ring out exit as well as grappling style Kane used to have a grapple where the opponent punches him in the face like 2 or 3 times and then he blocks the next punch and it automatically turns into a grapple and some of those pre-grapples actually lead into the next wrestling move they’d perform
Why are they still dropping stuff for this game ??? I can’t even download a caw without it screwing up every single caw I have on the game. Right now there’s glitch where any image you download overrights the caws or images you already have on game making it impossible to start your own caw series or even play with caws in universe why would I in November want to be forced to play with base game characters and attires?? It’s November and there still game breaking glitches in the game yet we advertise 2k25 instead of telling them to fix 24? Please no one buy this game man they’ll keep giving us crap if you take it 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️boycott this sht please
I don't like fighting stance either. I always click R3 to stop it. . . . What I do like doing is pushing up and down while doing a submission. Especially during "Torture Rack.
Everything. 2k sucks
The best year for Universe was 2k18... roaming the backstage area was fire
They need to add top rope or ladder finishers through tables like a swanton off the ladder through a table. Also they need to add the animations if the wrestling getting hurt when getting powerbombed on the ladder or a superplex off the top rop onto a ladder and they get hurt from it
They need to majorly improve weapon interactions in general....in older games you could do so much more with chairs, ladders and all kinda of weapons.
Also the OMG moments worked A LOT better than breaking barricades nowadays...
On a big side note, the fact that I can’t play my disc of 2k14 and others from Xbox 360 on to my Series X is an absolute ABOMINATION!!!!!!!!!!
I do agree with the cutscenes returning I think the slingshot tech ruins it because it takes you out of the match after you're done It pretty much does most of the objectives for you at the end which really hurts the game in my opinion more than helps
The servers.
I would like to see a few things
Outside the ring fighting needs to be enhanced to include seeing things from the SVR series return such as pulling weapons from the crowds interacting with fans, pointing at signs, ripping signs, pouring drinks on your opponent and also have the ability to pull the mat up to expose the concrete. Also bring back the OMG barricade break.
Also the cage, ladder and TLC matches should require a finisher or signature to be completed in order to partake in the mini climb game. Too many times matches end on a bodyslam or clothesline, cuz your opponent stays down forever. You should get a 30 second window to climb and win a match only after an sig or finisher is performed.
I haven’t played since MyFaction introduced Roman and Rock personas
Honestly really enjoyed 2K24 and would have been a full time player the whole way, but the personas let me down 😭😭😭
With the new TNA deal WWE has, I would love to see DLC focus on NXT superstars and TNA wrestlers that come to WWE occasionally, a TNA pack with Joe Hendry, Jordynn Grace, among others. While the NXT pack has newer superstars that have debuted in NXT like Zaria.
Servers suck
Mid air finishers don’t really trigger from top rope
AI gets up too quickly
Ladder match mini game ends too quickly
Custom images appearing on custom superstars
Can only show up In royal rumble match with your regular attire
Sometimes a match in universe will glitch and end up with the same stipulation as the match before
The game is always good when it first comes out then the patches ruin it
Imagine a Dave Meltzer picks WWE showcase that would be off the charts
Mods made this game ten times better. I didnt even need to buy the dlc lol
Mods are great
If they don't rescan karrion kross for the next game, I'm gonna be mad 😢
Hate in mygm there’s no MITB or royal rumble
Fyi for Steam users, if you use remote play with a friend, the last patch disabled sound of any players except the host... 😂
The don't like remote play...less sales? 2K be like NAH!
Honestly, I didn't buy the game this year and probably won't buy another one until they fix universe mode.
When 2K24 shuts down we better get all the my faction chatacters unlocked otherwise their just permanently locked forever
Matches need more life too it
Should I buy WWE 2K24 for Xbox Series S with the black Friday deals? Which version should I buy?
They need to bring back the "create a story" mode so we can create and play stories after we've beaten their Universe mode into redundancy...
You know what I want? Gimme all my content without making me play all these other modes of the game I don't care about. I work long hard days I don't wanna then fight the game to get the content I want to enjoy what I'm trying to do with it.
My GM is the worst part of the game....feels like homework. Drop it and improve universe mode, the only part worth playing.
Been complaining about this one for a while but here it is. A new weight detection system. They done it right in the Smackdown vs Raw before the 2008.
I wonder how much better the WWE 2k games would be if they didn't have MyFaction and just sold the alternate attires as bonus dlc for $5-10
I really want to see MITB be updated in exibition, give us a option to cash in the brifcase as the MITB holder, it should automatically have the opponent be the champion. I don't like having to search though my list just to find the MTIB case holder and the champion connected to that case.
My idea for the persona cards atleast is that during the last 2 months of the game cycle, 2K should just give us live events where we can choose any card to complete the challenges and then unlock them for other game modes. That way people who want it early can grind it out and unlock those early, or people who want to wait for the easier live event, can wait until the last 2 months of the game cycle to get it. Either way, people will still play MyFaction to unlock the persona cards.
Before the game officially came out in the 3 day early access, online servers worked when i played online. After the game released, they quit working. At some point the community creations part of the servers to crap as well. I used to be able to jump on and search through creations with no problem now it will kick me off randomly when i'm going through creations.
Every update breaks my downloaded wrestlers and its so annoying. Hair is gone, certain images wont work or a design is broken and back to its original state messing up the creations.
Only thing unexpected that happens in universe is when random teams get put back together after an update. I have to go back and delete some of em. I dont think ive seen a cutscene in forever.
I'm leaning towards not buying the next game. Don't get me started on myfaction...ugh
forever.
Universe mode tf
Wwe2k ONLY NEEDS 1 thing, an unlock system like no mercy, where every fight in story mode you get money, then u spend money on characters/attire like Shawn Michaels , they should stear back in that direction FOR A MORE FUN REPLAYING VIDEOGAME… BUT THEY won’t cuz now and days they rather sell you characters than have u grind it smh
MyGM mode is the primary mode I play in. If they could somehow include the Royal Rumble and Elimination Chamber (match and PLE) then it would be perfect. I also would like more match types and be able to afford to draft bigger rosters at the start of each season.
No single player mode in any game should ever have expiring content. I understand multi-player modes, but we should be able to go back and play any single-player content we missed if we fell behind or waited to buy the game. This increases replay value and makes people better able to keep up with multi-player if they have any desire to play multi-player. You shouldn't have to feel like you might have to miss out on part of the game if you have a job that keeps you working overtime.
Sorry man I haven’t been watching too many of your Videos Lately, I ain’t played WWE 2K in so long, The Game Just Isn’t It
Also fix the create an entrance. Can’t preview lighting and motions without having to select said motion and then having to go back into the menu just to repeat the process
I've played about 50 hours on 2k24 and I've got the ps3 back out to play SvsR in career mode. It's so much fun.
Just a case of getting used to the older controls.
That's the thing 2k right now feels the same every year and we want change.
They play it safe and looking back on the older games they really went for it and they last the test of time.
Ultimate hot take... 2k20 was the last genuinely fun version of the game outside of the bugs. The dlc brought back the old fun wackiness too the game like when Candace changed u into a woman or taker changed Finley and Santino into zombies etc. This is the first year I've skipped coz there's just nothing in it to draw me back too it this year...
They better never take our universe mode. I love that mode. If anything, they need to EXPAND universe mode. There’s so much replay value there if you’re just creative.
Paying 70-120 dollars to have to potentially spend more money in a card game for other characters is rather upsetting.
Also has to be good, got nominated for sports game of the year 😂
As I said before I had an easier time beating black myth wukong 3 times and getting my platinum trophy than I did pulling a persona card (I purchased the roman one with in game VC or MFP) but that proves the point 😂
Sports game of the year? For 2022? It's the same pig but paintes red this year around.
OH WAIT...all sports games are releasing 70$ patches for last years game with minor changes and just an updated roster calling it a new game.
2K19 and '23 are my favorites. 0.49 I definitely agree with that as well. I have missed story and season so much. Very good video and entertaining 😃👍
i just started playing this game when it was "free" for ps+ . my fav thing is the legends roster. and the gauntlet match. this is the best game since 19
I think that person was referring to when the ref gets knocked out , then once he's revived he would than make a slow 3 count.....
My one issue with the gameplay is that the AI tends to release submissions by themselves for no reason, making submission finishers pointless
I'm tired of the deletion utility and community creations crashing my game.
I think I’ve had like 3-4 reinstalls of the game on Xbox this year
WWE 2K25 should include:
-Every WWE Superstar that ever lived
-Every WWE Arena ever
-Intergender Match
-Buried Alive Match
-5 Stages of Hell Match
-They should allow you to go outside the arena and brawl
-No Myfaction
-No MyGm
-6 player couch co-op compatibility
-30 men in the ring at the same time
-Play as Paul Heyman
Licensing issues will always prevent many wrestlers from appearing. That's unavoidable.
Some of these are just impossible. Every WWE superstar ever lived? Yeah there’s no way
Couple of the things you listed would take so many Gigabyte to download, have licensing issues, makes gameplay very slow, And causes more game crashes than 2k20. For MyFaction, I understand. But for MyGM, they should have made it like a updated SVR one.
😂😂😂😂😂
For "My Faction,they need to make things easier attainable. So people who play it enjoy it more and possibly more to play it.
I run an e-fed using Universe Mode and 9 streams out of 10 it's a struggle to get through a show without some weird glitch or error or limitation that I have to work around. Every year they promise to work on Universe Mode and every year it's the same slop with one or two cool new features which (surprise surprise) usually don't work. I just wish 2K loved the series as much as I do. Also, MyFaction is pointless and Showcase is so boring I literally pay to skip it.
I actually love this game so far, a wrestling game hasn’t given me this much fun since I was a kid playing SVR 2006! I picked up 2K20 and 2K22 and they felt bare bones and way more broken compared to what’s going on in 2K24.
I play for the women’s wrestling and am absolutely loving the roster! The new veterans and next generation look more genuine and less cookie cutter in style. The roster offers Legends, Veterans, NXT, Divas, and Retro wrestlers. So it means the world to me to be able to have a match with Stacy, Trish, Lita, and Molly and emulate SVR again. While finally getting to play as Scarlett or Maxxine and check out the NXT roster. Oh, and Jade freaking Cargill, nuff said!!!
MyUniverse is my go-to so the new rivalry options make it feel more immersive and equivalent to when we had promo options. Though the removal of show intros is kind of a bust and almost invalidates creating a show if you only see the venue through matches. Nevertheless it’s still a solid mode!
Seeing old school exhibition matches, even if it’s just 2-3 still makes the game feel like Christmas having Coffin and Ambulance matches for the best rivalry.
Guest referee is my favorite since it overlooks the intergender wrestling block, allowing for some solid intergender moments that should be allowed in video games. So it’s nice to be able to have some sort of that ability in-game since SVR days.
All-in-all I’m always excited to play this game, whereas 2K20 is virtually unplayable, 2K22 was also highly bugged and forgotten, while 2K24 nearly feels right in every aspect.
Even if 2K25 is a next gen exclusive, I can definitely hold on to 2K24 for another 4-5 years as my main wrestling game! Awesome game hands down.
I actually 100% agree on MyFaction. It is genuinely really fun at its best. The problems however completely kill the mode. The repetitive nature of live events sucks. The bang for your buck is abismal. And yes that's the majority of the mode. But if they can just follow like a Diamond Dynasty model of MLB the show. So much better. Give us packs that are easier to get. 1 pack should not be $10. MLB you spend $10 you can get a good 10 packs out of that. Give us our standard packs. Featured cards can come from a slightly more expensive pack that have a higher chance of pulling one of those featured cards.
My main issue is not enough CAW slots and the 1000 images. Also there’s not much else to do once you beat MyRise and Showcase. The MyFaction stuff needs to go but knowing 2K they won’t drop it.
Simple thing but two things really bother me about the last two editions. How close the camera is for the hard cam, and having to grapple for most moves. Such huge steps backwards.
6:31 Brock Lesnar is also in the storyline thing
Matt if you change Triple H (King of Kings) and Triple H '14 entrance and victory to The Authority theme it fits him so much better. And add Tilt-a-whirl Slam 1 to DDP'S signature because its missing its called a trip to the Diamond mine
Triple h won't be getting it in my game the dark horse caw I imported claimed that king of king themesong.
When I started playing WWE 2K24, it felt repetitive, similar to watching those terrible PPVs from the 00's where Cena consistently retained his title.
Even the new match types are just rehashed versions of the submission system and lack effective gamification, much like MyRise and Showcase, feel like more of the same.
If they're going to keep Showcase mode, along with removing match cuts, like you suggested, they should also eliminate objectives as obstacles for unlockables. It's getting older than "Classy" Freddie Blassie was when he motivated the WWE to defeat the Alliance.
MyRise should be split into different stories, like Road to Wrestlemania, where you can play as CAWs, roster members, or vets, not just an upstart rookie every time.
I'd like to see them offer us choices for button mapping, even if the counter system is on one button, so I can map it to the shoulder buttons, for example.
The gameplay should prioritize grappling, authentic stances, and counters, focusing on a fun experience that captures the essence of professional wrestling, rather than replicating the TV product exactly.
If possible, they should source fans to determine DLC options. When I think of The Total Package, I think of the WCW Nitro '99 set. Additionally, they could incorporate other classic sets like Nitro 2000, WCW Thunder, WCW Saturday Night with the moving doors, or the famous Elks Lodge for ECW.
I wish WWE 2K would secure music rights to include the vast wrestling theme library in their games, including the WWE: The Music series, Anthology set, Music of WCW, Federation Years, and Uncaged series, providing ample options for yearly updates. And all of which are already available for streaming but can't be incorporated into the games as themes.
Dude...awesome mug!
Take out myfaction, add the elements to the WWE shop to unlock content. Let all game modes generate VC to unlock content. Take elements of GM Mode and put them in Universe Mode. WWE 2K Pretty much will be solved featurewise for the most part.
2K should take notes at Sparking zeros episode creator that shit so fun! And I enjoy my faction I’m very busy in my day to day so my faction is perfect for pick up and play. But the grind is ridiculous, they should reward players more MFP per matches and raise odds on personas or needed cards for each pack.
They could add Create A Story again and add new things to it. But then again I don’t wanna think of all the glitches and problems that could potentially come from it 😬
The problem is doing things to the level of a 10-15 year old game can be done with a much smaller team.. much less work needed on character models, textures, etc, since everything looked pretty shitty..
I wouldn't mind the Slingshot mode if it wasn't for all the censoring, God help the devs if the WWE ever upset Logan Paul, future showcases will just be blurry because of the Prime logo on the mat.
I want them to put some of the weapons back in the game and put weapon grapple moves back in. Also add animations of the wrestlers getting slammed onto a weapon
I think the problem with 2K WWE games is that the additional game play eventually became boring, let's compare for a second with MK games, they have the basic storyline, after that the towers (which could be compare as exhibition), and instead of the lazy, impossible, unreachable My faction... what not do a invasion like mode where you can wrestle continuously and get rewards like a DLC wrestler, different attires, hair looks that could be updated on the superstars. In that way 2K could keep the fan base more interested, and playing the game wanting to acquire the additional attires, etc. Just a humble opinion.
13:51 it should be like five dollars a persona card
Ya I’d be down if it’s like 2-5$ I don’t like the model of MyFaction, but since it’s not leaving they need to change it up
@@AssembleShow if they’re gonna continue it, I really wish they would make my faction carry over to the next game because how are you gonna make people pay for the stuff they have on another game that they already paid for and like what’s the point of collecting cards if you don’t get to keep them
@@AssembleShow That sounds like reasonable pricing, especially considering that most o fthe released models are just reskins and NOT original fresh facescans, missing trons and/or music. 5$ should be the absolute max and even then it would be a steep price.
Havent even started watching the vid and can already tell you myfaction is killing this game. 2k has the attires, models and updates to actually keep the game interesting. Like they legitimately do have enough content to keep the community satisfied but they keep locking it to myfaction. And that is what makes it so inaccesible to most of the community. Not all of us are willing to drop 200$ just for a chance to get Big Poppa Pump or 2010 CM Punk. Without myfaction, slowly putting these characters in even if its with a small fee would literally fix most of 2ks problems.
Edit: aint no way i saw someone suggest they give the license to EA bruh 💀 they do remember the battlefront 2 fiasco right??
The last time they used the 2000 theme of triple h called my time was WWE 2k14 so it's not been in any WWE game since then to my memory
It was in 2k23. Status uploaded a triple H with that theme. They should have all these tracks as they are owned by the WWE. Why hide them from us ?
They need to revamp the reversals system no more pump handle suplex and replace the stupid spin leg sweep
Remove the lock on moves that allows them to only be used as Signature or finishers
I honestly think MyGM will replace universe mode in the next few years, and Universe mode will be removed
That’s a pretty easy answer 2k just doesn’t want to do anything that actually matters with the game. Here’s a idea that would be nice to see have the towers mode come back from 2k19 and that’s the mode where you could unlock the alternate versions of wrestlers like the Wolfpack or longer hair triple h.
The lag during online matches made it unplayable for me 🤷🏿
Honestly. In my opinion, if they updated universe, and tweaked it over the course of 1 game and then implemented the same formula in 5 or so games onwards before another overhaul. I'l take that. If they fix Universe, they fix the game. MyFaction works for WHO it works for, i however am not one of them. i generally have no other issues with the game because i play it within its limits and focus on what i enjoy rather than harp on what i hate.
