With the game close to release I have to say it again: it is so refreshing to see previews from a guy who talks like a fan of the franchise instead of trying to make the developers happy. You did a fantastic job since they have given you access and I hope you maintain that energy
GM looks like the big surprise this year and 2K seems to have undersold it during the marketing, this is a lot closer to a true GM mode than previous years and as someone who has spent hundreds of hours in games like pro wrestling sim I can see myself playing this version of GM mode now.
@@Savageking1998 I think it's definitely been getting better every year. I'm a total self admitted shill for the wrestling games. I preorder every single year. It's not always just about the game, it's about community and being hyped for new features.
@@AssembleShow I wish you’d concentrate more on what’s good rather than HYPER focus on some minute detail that isnt included rather than the multitude of improvements. Rather than celebrate the release next week, the incredible number of playable characters, etc … i GUARANTEE all you’ll harp on is the blood doesn’t work… But , it’s your channel.
Going to be honest, I didn't know about this channel until recently but I'm glad I found you! Great content, informative, no filler and you seem super chill. Thanks for the videos and coverage! New fav 2K channel.
Assemble seeing you grow so much this last year or so I've been subbed to you bring a tear to my eye.. Dontlet the jealous haters get to you. I can't wait to play this game on Tuesday after work!
Once they'd added a few things via patch, it became quite a good mode. Admittedly, I rarely get through a full season but it's fun to chuck on, do a draft, work through a few PPV's and because of the shake up cards, I still come across a few features I wasn't aware of.
I like this new talent scout system, the search fee for the higher tier character's is a bit annoying since what we get is random but I enjoy rhe added challenge.
I can imagine if Jim Johnston makes a return back. This game will not only be the goat, it will also be make the legendary game Comeback and for WWE at the same time.
Seriously dude listen to those few comments just appreciating how much excitement for the game you bring, much needed thanks as you bring entertainment to us all the time, keep it up dude
The steel cage match makes so much more sense as a rivalry ender! In real life, steel cages are more often than not the blowoff of a big rivalry and now we can blow off tag team rivalries!
hey thanks that's nice of you to say . i just like wrestling games and this was so much fun to get the chance to interview someone that works on the game.
@@AssembleShow No problem bro. I meant to ask on your 2k24 Universe video. Does the end rivalry button actually show this year? That was the biggest problem with 2k23 rival system.
I don't do GM Mode, never got into it but I absolute respect it as a mode and how many people love it. Seeing 2K actually apply effort and put so much work into that mode this year is incredible. There are definitely cons this year, but I feel like the pro's finally outweigh them. Great video as always, Matt!
Great video. You usually kill it and this was no exception. My enthusiasm for the mode and for the game has gone up even further. Really the only thing that is missing from what I have seen is the ability to have 6 and 8 man matches
Assemble, this video is perfect man. Loved seeing you have this conversation and seeing the face behind a majority of the updates we see year to year. I’ve been dying for content even though we’re flooded with it from the community day and yours has been the most informative
MyGM is what keeps me playing these games. I am glad they are adding more to it, especially the tag team call out promos. I hope next time they have the competitive matches between brands like Elimination Chamber, Royale Rumble, Survivor Series, etc., and also have an option for a full year of MyGM with all PLE for 12 months instead of 25 weeks. I ordered the standard edition so I can unlock the content over time like older games such as the Mortal Kombat games.
I like the changes they made to GM mode. It is definitively a move into the right direction. I hopw they continue working on it. Well done! I'll be definitely buying the game this year!
They should just merge MyGM and universe and allow us to toggle off/on which features we want and which ones we don’t. They should take note from NBA's GM mode, which is incredibly detailed and immersive.
You need to understand 2K has been creating NBA game for decades now, but they just recently started creating WWE games. 2K20 was a crash course in wrestling game development when Yikes walked out with all of the game building tool kits, so 2K had to try to reverse engineer WWE 2k18 in hopes to try and finish making 20. That's why 2K skip the year so they could develop a tool kit to create the next game, so basically they've only been making WWE games for roughly 3 1/2 years or so.
@@THEKINGGENERAL-1988 No they didn't. Yukes had always been the developers. 2K became the publisher when 2K14 was already finished and THQ had only just gone out of business.
Man I can not wait!! I'm excited about it taking more strategy instead of just mindlessly booking matches week after week. I am curious how it plays in the later years because it felt like there were way too many stars who cost north of $300K.
Them using assets now is one of the most underrated changes i believe, if they balanced it right so that you need to safe up and actually make a choice between updating the arena or the fireworks for example, that could be sooo huge
I just pre ordered the 40 year version last night I’m ready to recreate BIG OG championship wrestling for sure I’ll definitely be having a open session where I’m letting my viewers pick match types an everything
I honestly can't wait I only played my gm for a few weeks on wwe2k23 but now this looks really cool and I will definitely play it more now after all the new stuff and I'm going to be my own manager and make it even harder so I can get really into it.
Love this, all that I think is missing is controlling the promos like many versions ago. If it was in here hands down GM would be the best version. I love what you said about the money. It is going to be alllllll about saving and using money wisely early on. You can't just go out and spend your money and build a huge roster and cost through. I also like the ranks go reverse so if you need players to help you, you get to go first then the player in 1st keeps growing cause they get shot at the roster first. It going to be a strategy way more in this game.
I don’t play my GM I really don’t play any other mode but universe mode. This is the reason why I haven’t bought the game in two years. I wanted to buy this year because I know they did do some cool stuff with match types and a few other things, but either way I had to stop in and watch the video because, even though this is not my type of thing I still want to show some love for Matt here @assemble for all the hard work he does. Hey Matt, talked to the leaders of the universe mode Oh wait that’s right they weren’t even there. 😉
@AssembleShow I'm looking forward to this game mode a lot, but I think the really big step for this mode next year has to be mygm online compnant looks really good this year though
This looks like the most improved mode. I did get bored of myGM last year, but there are alot of variations here. Glad tag teams are being looked after better too.
Loads of fantastic additions, would love to know what the PLEs are and if they're different. Hopefully they can add in MITB and the Rumble in 2k25, these are the biggest pieces missing from MyGM in my book. Other nice to haves would be Gauntlet match, Special Guest for Tag, Triple Threat and Fatal Four-way, Number One Contender matches and the ability to set up tournaments for them. Can't wait to play the update though 🤩
Thanks for the info. Really hoping Royal Rumble and Elimination Chamber etc. get added in next year, as multi-brand matches like in SDvR. With rewards for the winning brand. Also hope to see brand customization!
Since the Bloodline story been the face of the WWE for the past couple of years, would of been dope if we would of got some faction DLC's (DX, Nation, Corporation, 4 Horsemen, Ministry of Darkness, DOA, etc ).....also bringing story designer back to create old classic storylines
I see myself playing this mode a lot more than I played it in '23. Mostly because I'm slow when it comes to change so it'll take me a while to get used to all the new add-ons.
I wish they made up a women’s title for ecw or brought back the divas title/women’s title. Ecw is my favorite brand and there’s a lot of awesome women in the game this year that would fit the vibe of ecw very well but kinda pointless to invest in without titles.
I really wish you would have asked about some of the modes biggest issues 1) The lack of matches like the Royal Rumble and even something like a 6 man tag 2) The calendar feels too short, Why not give us the option to have a full year? 3) Match cards are still too small and the roster sizes are ridiculously small, It could really do with an improvement Honestly without those big 3 things i dont know if i will play the mode but we shall see. Its certainly the best version so far but I feel like its still fairly limited especially from a realism standpoint
Sorry if this was covered, I only skimmed through. But is the a way to upgrade mic skills? I feel in-game some of them are so horribly wrong that they need upgrading.
I think the class change thing is pretty big. The class system felt pretty limiting and I almost never used anyone aside from brawlers and fighters because of it
Sure did add alot to GM mode. Now just think if the UpUpDownDown channel did a weekly video for Universe Mode. Bet Universe mode would get alittle more love....
I wish they would add show history and title history also I wish they had cut scenes for run ins an not just have to simulate I like to watch the show in its entirety that I booked
I’m so glad that Casket, Ambulance and Special Guest Referee is in MyGM. Because I thought they wouldn’t put those in
I’m glad those are in. And I’m happy that each match type still has its own unique consequences for your GM Mode
Casket match + fix match bout to be the combo fr fr!
If they didn’t add it that would make so sense to me

Got on UA-cam at the right time 👀
thanks buddy!
Same here!😄
Right. Didn't know that Assemble was cooking breakfast. 🥞 🥓 🥛 😋
Was you simulation to save time? You can actually play matches etc on GM mode right?
@@colby6385yes you can also play the matches
I like the fact that they changed the way steel cage matches work in GM. And now those are the ones that you use to finish rivalries
Its like old school wrestling where those matches finish rivalries. Love it.
@@bigballerju07 exactly that's the same thought I had when I heard about this.

GM mode is looking good this year, one thing I would have liked is the ability to draft tag teams rather than selecting the individual superstars
I skipped last year's GM mode. But I am so stoked about this year's! Thanks Matt

Honestly the change between submission and steel cage was 100% needed THANK YOU!!!

I'm not a big fan of my GM, but I'm glad you guys are getting new features in GM mode. Thanks for the vid Matt. 5 days left
Saw alot of people talking about myrise but can't wait for ur take is on myrise
WE NEEEEEEDDDDD THIS TEAM TO WORK ON UNIVERSE MODE!!!!
Love this channel, gm mode will be better then ever
What a amazing video Thanks for that matt am so excited for my gm mode this year my main champ on the roster is going to be the feind
Man they could’ve gave us draft in universe mode at least ;/ but great upload. 🎉
They intentionally under work universe mode.
Man, I'm so envious of hearing all that people having fun playing WWE together. None of my friends is interested in it.
Love this… I think Training promos should be xp and become better on the mic
bro is the goat of wwe 2k24 already.
Thanks for the awesome info my favorite mode covered very well!
I see myself playing this mode a lot more than I played it in '23. Mostly because I'm slow when it comes to change so it'll take me a while to get used to all the new add-ons.
Thankyou so much this content loved this. GM mode excitement woop😮
Love the early content from you and I can’t wait for WWE2K24 YEET🎉🎉

GM looking great this year
I wish they would have put that much energy into universe mode.
at this point they needa drop the game right now i cant wait no more😪
BDE has such a distinctive voice, you can hear him randomly in the background 😂
Hearing Brandon in the back is funny as hell
This is awesome. You have some amazing questions.
I would love to be able to use custom shows in mgm. In 2k23 I basically had to do my own my gm using universe mode in order to use my custom shows.
If you can ask him if we can get create shows and import arenas for next year!
I really wish you would have asked about some of the modes biggest issues
1) The lack of matches like the Royal Rumble and even something like a 6 man tag
2) The calendar feels too short, Why not give us the option to have a full year?
3) Match cards are still too small and the roster sizes are ridiculously small, It could really do with an improvement

How close in detail is MyGm 2K24 in detail compared to GM Mode in SVR. Perhaps a future video breakdown will suffice.
Man, I wish there was an option to have unlimited budget like in SVR
Tyson and whoever should go back to the drawing board and make wwe feel like an actual franchise mode
Im finally playing some gm mode on 2k23 and its fun when yiu have the ai book and u change some things and play the main event
Universe mode is basically GM mode but actually good
I wish they would add show history and title history also I wish they had cut scenes for run ins an not just have to simulate I like to watch the show in its entirety that I booked
man there is no excuse to not have an online mode for 2k25 for MyGM next year. Can't believe they didn't add it in this year tbh.
Please give us the full calendar back though
I can't wait play this on Monday it come out for me on the 4th
Unlimited budget option for WWE2K25 please… due to inflation..
