We should expect small improvements and a honeymoon phase, followed by several months of realization and disappointment. Sorry, but I don’t have much excitement or hope. They really need to revamp the game and win me over, or I’ll stop purchasing it, just like I did with MyCareer in 2K-I haven't played MyCareer since 2017. I don’t want to waste money on another overpriced, lackluster game. 2K, you need to step it up. We want to see a better Universe mode, a Story Creator, and entrances that aren't bugged. We need more features and a polished game overall. Updates should be provided throughout the year. I know I'm not alone in this opinion, and I won’t hesitate to skip purchases, just as I did with WWE 2K19 and 2K20.
I really thought 2K24 was going to be the game that sealed an improvement - loads of quality of life upgrades promised rather than all the energy going into a marquee new match type like Wargames and it really turned out to be one of the messiest releases since the series returned with 2K22 and it didn't really recover. The DLC has been middling with some notably awful exceptions and all told it's not been a good year for the franchise. I'm definitely holding fire on 2K25 until it's been out a while and I'll see if it gets some better feedback.
@@chumcalmdown I skipped 2k24 because I found out showcase mode is still a tedious mess, and for the 11th something yr in a row they did absolutely nothing with universe mode.. I just realized they took out the show pyro intros, like what??🤣 why take away one of the only few good things about universe mode we had left smh
We really need 1. new/returning match types, 2. More caw slots 3. A big Universe update 4. return of show intro's in universe mode 5. Add promos back into universe mode but maybe have voiceovers if possible. 6. Lets us fight in the crowd and backstage in all custom arena venue's 7 expand on the area you can fight in the crowd 8 bring back the lockroom/GM office backstage to fight in

Not pre purchasing this WWE game. Going to be waiting for the post launch reviews. If universe mode doesn't have an insane rebuild/improvements I won't be purchasing at all.
@@beeaveragegaming3482 exact same game no. but the facts are they're going to release a new game every year anyways. so if that's the case I'd like the game to be about 80% the same as in the gameplay and presentation to match what we see on TV. you can't just change wrestling into something else. what should be updated every year and changed our story modes character changes etc. Things that make sense to change. Not what they currently do which is take away very important features then maybe bring a few back at time. Then we never have a complete wrestling experience.
I feel that the backstage should be a little more tweaked and different too because we’ve been seeing a lot of the backstage irl and we could do a lot with it on the game

I’d prefer if the wwe 2k games came out every 2/3 years This allows for major improvements across the board & bigger DLC’s spaced out to accommodate the larger timeframe. Maybe even a DLC showcase mode return how they’ve done in the past As a casual wwe games player I hate buying their games every year just for minor tweaks an a alternative roster
@@MelbourneSoundOfficial I'd like a wrestling game with all of the removed features. Then every year it can remain mostly the same. You can't change wrestling. However you can change story modes, update commentary lines, rosters etc. Add more Universe cut scenes and things that make sense to change. Not take away needed features just to bring them back years later. If we're getting a game every year then do it right.
It will be a Triple H showcase seeing as it’s 30 years since he debuted in WWE (1995-2025) IMO. Create a finisher, better body customisation for CAWs. Universe mode overhaul
@@JeronRush327 lumberjack isn't really anymore relevant to the current matches than the ones you just shot down. Lions den and fight pit and iron survivor are the ones that might make it based on relevancy to the current product.
I say it every video I can, but having a more dynamic commentary table is a must! They say something interesting about both the competitors one time at the beginning of the match and by the time you get the opponent to red, it's nothing but the same canned dialogue we've had for years, where they're calling out and reacting to a move. Think of the possibilities if they just had Universe mode specific dialogue where the commentary team acknowledges a champion has held a belt for X amount of days, or someone ends a long reign, that should feel like big deal, yet we get nothing.
If they are too lazy to put 100 hours of commentary audios(I know cole and graves work all year long ) they could always use AI. With AI that would solve all major problems , we could have promos back(tho they’d have to restrict us from saying curse words to avoid getting flammed obviously)
We should expect to have fun the first few months after release then once you reach a peek level of enjoyment it's done it's a wrap oh and copy and paste cutscenes lol
I can’t wait for January because that’s usually when we start getting teasers about the game. Last year they did amazing with the special guest referee shirt and the coffin, hopefully they do something similar with 2K25
I think we're beating a dead horse hoping for better Universe and less MyFaction. 2K likes to make My Rise mostly a comedic satire of obvious and inside jokes from past and present WWE. Instead of that , I'd like to see a WWE What If? They could get "approved" Legends vs today's stars or current/legend vs current/legend and create quick story lines and actually create more memorable moments in the game. They could go the Marvel route for example...What If...The Rock never left the Nation and Farooq or Mark Henry left to become the Corporate champ. What if Randy/ Bautista turned of Hunter and booted him from Evolution. The red tape and legalities will decide what can or cant be done, but I think it could be an interesting change of pace.
@togucvinw7 Triple H deserves one aswell especially after he retired in 2022 due to heart issues. A showcase throughout his whole career would be amazing but it has to be done right! I understand you cant get Jericho for that rivalry but you can have him and taker, the WrestleMania 27 match with Cena, Triple H vs HBK from SS 2002. And we could also get that My time theme
@@TheRealMJPMuzik Oh I agree with you 100%, hhh is my favorite wrestler after all 😎 (and My Time was his best theme tho I kinda hope we will also get Higher Brain version before) A showcase with him would be great ! We could have og Dx (him, Hbk, Chyna and Rick rude ), his feud with Rock and the nation with that Iconic ladder match as well as his later feud with stone cold (that 3 stages of hell at No Way Out 2001), his feud with Cactus Jack, Hbk , Taker, Batista (damn it’s too many great matches )
My ultimate wish would be for WWE to be a live service game. The series would benefit so much from it. They could do a full set up of events that unlock attires used at pay per views, special entrances, new arenas, and newly signed superstars.
I hope the Wyatt sicks have a special animation where they stand on the ramp with howdy and the rocking chair when they’re managers (I think the OG Wyatt’s had this animation in a game before)
I just need them to admit they dropped the ball on 24 and reflect on that moving forward towards supporting only current gen I don’t plan on purchasing for another 2-3 years assuming GTA 6 will keep me afloat
I wouldn't mind a showcase that focused on some big time matches (Montreal screw job, Undertaker vs Mankind Hell in a Cell) etc If showcase has to be included I wouldn't mind an Undertaker focused one or Shawn Michaels (no excuse for missing d x stuff)
We can expect some persona cards for stuff that was in 22 or 23. No changes to Universe Mode (nothing good at least). Game will be beautiful though, so there’s that.
More realistic stuff such as :how wrestlers lay on ground pron : how belt looks on both :tag teams within factions : more realistic spots/sequences in matches I can go on
I just want the game to work and function like 2k19. Also im sick of the "minor improvements" if we dont get some type of massive overhaul to this engine 2K25 is going to look just like 2k22-2k24
Itd be amazing if they added the ironsurvivor match have it in universe mode as a number one contenders match and whoever wins it automatically sets up that rivalry for you in universe mode
They have to find a way to make the game feel fresh. To make it enjoyable longer than a month or two. Maybe a longer story mode that feels way better and bigger stakes. A level up system based off of how you wrestle in the indies. So if you wanna level up your Ariel abilities equip starter moves. The more you do them the more you level up in that fighting style. After you finish the story let it combine to universe mode where you can have revolving story lines defend your titles or you lose the championship and have to go down a road to royal rumble if you fail there elimination chamber etc. make it feel good
I think there's even more of 2K Showcase because, remember in WWE 2K20 they put the 1st 2K Showcase of Women's? They always became a greatest female superstars of all-time! But now, I think Trish Stratus will put her in 2K Showcase of Women part 2! We're gonna LOVE THAT!!!!
My cover predictions Base: The Rock (obviously the biggest name and face associated with WWE, and they’ve used legends for recent games (Rey, Cena) Deluxe: CM Punk & Drew McIntyre (great rivalry and both deserve it) Icon: Bloodline (I believe the showcase will either focus on Roman’s title reign or the Bloodline as a whole)
I hope they do a story designer because I missed that in the game. I hope it's in the game and maybe I'm Universe Mode or of its own, I missed story designer so we will see what happens but if not, WWE 2K25 might be cooked and they aren't listening to the WWE Community. My prediction on the cover athletes is this: Standard: Gunther Cross Gen: Chelsea Green, Kalani Jordan, and the Women's United States Champion Anniversary: Og Bloodline vs The Bloodline faceoff
What I want to see fixed amount many other issues: Get rid of fighting stances Don’t make us lock up to do moves Get rid of combos Fix the targeting system so when you change target it goes to the person who is the most immediate threat not cycling through the opponents based on the positions they were chosen on the roster selection Bring back the weapons physics from 2K20 where you could hit an opponent in the gut and then DDT them onto a chair, give them a conchairto and slam opponents onto the steel steps Give us more options with weapons like being able to set up chairs and do moves onto them or use them for springboard moves like Sabu used to do Increase the amount of weapons that can be on screen at once and allow us to grab the same weapon from the weapon wheel multiple times.

It’s going to be the same game again they’re just going to sell you a new match type like iron survivor and a showcase and people are going to buy it. They need to fix universe add promos or create a story back and fix online
I’ve been boycotting since 2k18. Unless Universe mode becomes the main focus and they bring back story designer, 2K won’t get a dime from me ever again. Tired of these half-assed games, give me a complete wrestling game with replay value
i know this isnt one of those videos but i would love to see 2k impliment a past downloads feature in community creations for when something gets corrupted or deleted. it sucks having to search for specific arenas you had in the past and not being able to find it
I want to see improvements with cage style matches. More moves off the top, etc. More animations when slamming opponents into the cage, etc. Used to LOVE cage matches.
Remove showcase, bring back road to WrestleMania. Give us more caw slots, 2k24 to 2k25 caw base model import feature so we don’t have to start from scratch. And several more universe mode options and enhancements
Im really excited for wwe 2k 25 I hope they add more match types and I hope their is a showcase mode centered around the bloodline or cm punk but I'm mostly excited to see Jacob fatu oba FEMI jaida parker and lola vice be in this games roster
Customizing matches , back stage ,coffin ⚰️ ambulance matches , oh create a move a fail proof g.m and universe mode plus the beat the streak challenges from w2k14 is all we need
man I really want to get it, always love the Career mode and GM modes. Really nervous about MyFaction though, 2K24 had like 40 characters locked behind aggressive microtransactions
I really want Eddie Guerrero on the cover of 2k25 since it will have been 20 years. If not atleast for a special edition that releases on the day of his passing
I am personally thinking of holding off on my yearly pre-order as there is so much content I’ll never get in this game (after all the money I spent) because I don’t play MyFaction
I would like to see on WWE2K25: New & Returns match types Biggest roster Updated Universe mode Maybe cheats codes or we can be able to unlock everything. Superstars Championship PPV Entrances PPV INTROS AND PYROS Updated Titantrons and themes Showcase either The Rock, Bloodline, Undertaker. Maybe VR Purchased points.
A lot less MyFaction would be great! Also to be able to back out of it if you accidentally click it. I would rather them dismiss it altogether and concentrate more on story mode with mygm and myuniverse options.
Please add more pinfall animations in 2K. I am so sick of the boring pinfall animations we've been stuck with for years. Like options for hooking both legs and big guys pinning in dominating fashion.
They should focus on universe mode, focus money in the bank cash in on paper views and polish it and remove same old cut sceens in universe mode and polish everything because i think 2k25 will be better🗿
Cross Brand Events in MyGM would be Nice - also more Match types in mygm like war Games or a proper Royal rumble - the Mode is really nice if they change a Little Bit more
I've been really excited for the past 3 games but I feel like I'm not as excited for 2K25, but maybe when the trailer comes out and we know everything then it will change my mind Also time flew by WAY too fast like how is it already time for 2K25 lol
Does anyone know if 2k still does the feedback project? Features like universe mode need more fan input in order to make it better. If it's a functionality issue and time management is hindering the process, they need to focus on universe mode or gm mode exclusively. It can't be both at this point.
Hear me out.. a showcase about factions, all the way from the nwo and dx to the bloodline and Wyatt six. Obviously others like the shield or nexus wouldn't be on it but it would be cool. We would get different versions of the nwo and dx members and some retro versions of the usos because of their history with the new day and all that cool stuff
tough to know where they go from here as we dont have too many crazy new additions to the roster to get hype about,as always new match types are welcome along with the updated character models and championships but realistically for me its about refining what is already here as the base elements of the game are solid and serve as a great foundation upon which to clean things up and smooth out the creases of which there are many,not necessarily a popular opinion but sometimes less is more in terms of giant sweeping changes from 1 year to the next,deffo a live service style update package would be a huge want on my hit list
I could be wrong but I have a feeling that WWE 2k25 is just a copy and paste of WWE 2K24 but with a few new weapons, Match types and Roster. It's honestly like these gaming companies are not trying to one up themselves from each year to make each game stand out from the last game. I guess this is the sad reality of sports games and the cycle they fall into, a copy and paste and just do very little things to improve the game until fans cry out about it or stop buying altogether enough to cause change.
back in my day they used to do roster reveals in august and release the game in october. Its currently late december & nothing. 2k22 was good (worth $30), 19 was decent, and 13/14 were the best theyve done since 2007. Considering they dont have the pressure of 2K20 anymore, i doubt this’ll be more than a simple update worth $25 on sale
Hopefully you can guest referee for more than just one on one matches. Also I miss the solo cam in online matches. It was so much better. The zoomed out camera drives me crazy.
They should include smaller, quality-of-life features too. For example, the ability to rename finishers and signatures-not with preset names, but with customizable presentation names, similar to how “Create-a-Superstar” and “Create-a-Championship” work. They should also allow players to change tag team names in the same way. That way, if I wanted to create something like “D-Evolution X,” the announcers would actually say it. Another much-needed addition is advanced tag team customization. We should be able to add unique pyro, smoke effects, and other elements to tag team entrances to make them feel distinct. On top of that, they need to bring back features from older games, like Create-a-Taunt, Create-a-Sprint Animation, and Create-a-Victory Motion. Those options added so much creativity and individuality to the experience, and their absence has been felt. Lastly, a complete Universe Mode revamp is long overdue. Adding all of these features alongside an improved Universe Mode would give the game incredible longevity and replayability.
Don't know what they'll realistically add to sell 2k25. We need more damn CAW slots, and parts. And new CAW tools, better hair customization, etc. There should be more new match types without losing any. Wargames events with double rings we can have regular non wargames matches in. 5 vs 5 elimination tags on current gen. Story creator. Access to all Universe cutscenes in exhibition for creators. A lot more weapons, and the 2k20 weapon customizations. And no mercy ability to start in arena then go to different backstage areas. And more arena custom options. Where are concession and merch stand brawls? Fighting up and down venue stairs.
I expect it to be the same thing, no significant difference and or changes to Universe Mode other than new “rivalry actions” and that’s it still no promos or show intros. Same Universe Mode, same NBA MyTeam GM Mode. Unfortunately. They definitely need a Universe Mode refresh/revamp and less MyFaction shit. And do a lot if they wanna win us over completely. Absolutely agree. 👏🏾
I love showcase mode, as long as we don’t get 10 different versions of the same wrestler. I like unlocking different wrestlers. I don’t really mess with GM or Universe mode. I wish they’d bring back Create-A-Finisher and also give us more CAW slots. Also wouldn’t mind if they did something like HCTP and give us more interactive stuff backstage or even an outside venue! Lastly, the action figures have grown on me, so I’ve been toying with MyFaction a bit more lately trying to get them all. 👀 Maybe a couple more action figures. Austin? Warrior?

Can we expect a never ending story mode like in the earlier years?😢

9 bring back create a finisher with an update
Blood for women
I’ll add bring back more old school matches like 3 stages of hell
You will get none of that. It's 2K. We will get more of MyFaction.
Get rid of fighting stances
Don’t make us lock up to do moves
Get rid of combos
Fix the targeting system so when you change target it goes to the person who is the most immediate threat not cycling through the opponents based on the positions they were chosen on the roster selection
Bring back the weapons physics from 2K20 where you could hit an opponent in the gut and then DDT them onto a chair, give them a conchairto and slam opponents onto the steel steps
Give us more options with weapons like being able to set up chairs and do moves onto them or use them for springboard moves like Sabu used to do
Increase the amount of weapons that can be on screen at once and allow us to grab the same weapon from the weapon wheel multiple times. So instead of having to have the chair in their twice a little number will appear above that weapon that indicates how many of that weapon have been pulled out so you can do actual chair piles while also having kendo sticks, garbage cans and tables out
Make the ring bell a weapon again, the announce table cover and in retro arenas, the monitors from the announce table
Bring back OMG moments so you can more easily break the ring and actually put people through the barricade now
Fix AI during multi man matches so they will actually break up pins and submissions and stop someone from pulling down a briefcase or title in ladder or TLC matches
Remove the movement limit around the area inside Hell in a Cell between the ring and the cell wall, HIAC has been shit for the past six or seven years because of this
Have the basic Survivor Series WarGames arena have two rings all the time instead of only being limited to two rings for WarGames
Add new graphics in for Create A Show, they’ve been the same for seven or eight years, when is a black curtain ever going represent a WWE PPV/PLE?
Fix Create An Arena so parts don’t end up floating in the air when you try and move them, fix certain parts like the right tron from Judgment Day 2005 where it mirrors any image placed on it and the header that is black so you can’t see what you’re putting on it
Give us at least a better outdoor stadium preset and give us an indoor stadium preset so they feel like stadiums
Update and include the movies for every single preset PPV/PLE and TV show in Create an Arena, the one for Backlash is the WrestleMania Backlash one from 2022
Give us more generic preset movies for Create an Arena
Do a better job at adding logos in for wrestlers in the WWE Images section and get rid of useless ones like those stupid cabbage doll things they did for Becky and Charlotte. Those are in the image section but Gallus’ logo isn’t.
Finally, better communication with the community and actually addressing issues, if you’re having trouble fixing an issue, just fucking tell us. Don’t stay silent because then we don’t know what’s going on.

Yay...
at this rate the way sports games are.... they wanna hurry and rush stuff out so they can get all those micro transactions

Realistically won’t bring all those back but 3 stages of hell would be amazing.
They won’t add those as they’re not relevant to WWE’s current product. We could see multi-person mixed tag matches or lumberjack matches though.
@@JeronRush327 lumberjack isn't really anymore relevant to the current matches than the ones you just shot down. Lions den and fight pit and iron survivor are the ones that might make it based on relevancy to the current product.
@@JeronRush327so what, its a video game for wrestling. Blood isnt prevalent in wwe yet you can bleed like a mf.
trailer during netflix debut would be smart
Universe mode definitely needs to be updated. Im hoping for new match types and updates to existing matches as well.
I say it every video I can, but having a more dynamic commentary table is a must! They say something interesting about both the competitors one time at the beginning of the match and by the time you get the opponent to red, it's nothing but the same canned dialogue we've had for years, where they're calling out and reacting to a move. Think of the possibilities if they just had Universe mode specific dialogue where the commentary team acknowledges a champion has held a belt for X amount of days, or someone ends a long reign, that should feel like big deal, yet we get nothing.
@@raveisalltherage especially since NBA2K’s does
If they are too lazy to put 100 hours of commentary audios(I know cole and graves work all year long ) they could always use AI. With AI that would solve all major problems , we could have promos back(tho they’d have to restrict us from saying curse words to avoid getting flammed obviously)
We should expect to have fun the first few months after release then once you reach a peek level of enjoyment it's done it's a wrap oh and copy and paste cutscenes lol
You should only buy WWE 2k every other year, at it's biggest discount on black friday. Trust me bro.
I agree I miss the October releases
I can’t wait for January because that’s usually when we start getting teasers about the game. Last year they did amazing with the special guest referee shirt and the coffin, hopefully they do something similar with 2K25
yeah i hope they do a similar roll out to last year, people got hyped and they didn't waste time or drag it out. But we need more communication
2k needs to drop wwe game licence
I think we're beating a dead horse hoping for better Universe and less MyFaction. 2K likes to make My Rise mostly a comedic satire of obvious and inside jokes from past and present WWE. Instead of that , I'd like to see a WWE What If? They could get "approved" Legends vs today's stars or current/legend vs current/legend and create quick story lines and actually create more memorable moments in the game. They could go the Marvel route for example...What If...The Rock never left the Nation and Farooq or Mark Henry left to become the Corporate champ. What if Randy/ Bautista turned of Hunter and booted him from Evolution. The red tape and legalities will decide what can or cant be done, but I think it could be an interesting change of pace.
A Rock or Triple H showcase will be awesome... I wouldn't mind a 98 Rock with that "Know Your Role" Theme
I’m pretty sure we are getting Rock showcase. Hhh might be too early since he is yet to be inducted (tho that didn’t stopped Cena from getting one)
@togucvinw7 Triple H deserves one aswell especially after he retired in 2022 due to heart issues. A showcase throughout his whole career would be amazing but it has to be done right! I understand you cant get Jericho for that rivalry but you can have him and taker, the WrestleMania 27 match with Cena, Triple H vs HBK from SS 2002. And we could also get that My time theme
@@TheRealMJPMuzik Oh I agree with you 100%, hhh is my favorite wrestler after all 😎 (and My Time was his best theme tho I kinda hope we will also get Higher Brain version before)
A showcase with him would be great ! We could have og Dx (him, Hbk, Chyna and Rick rude ), his feud with Rock and the nation with that Iconic ladder match as well as his later feud with stone cold (that 3 stages of hell at No Way Out 2001), his feud with Cactus Jack, Hbk , Taker, Batista (damn it’s too many great matches )
@@togucvinw7 Triple H vs Undertaker Wrestlemaina 27
Triple H vs Batista Bad Blood 2005
Evolution vs Orton, Edge and Umaga Raw 2007
My ultimate wish would be for WWE to be a live service game. The series would benefit so much from it. They could do a full set up of events that unlock attires used at pay per views, special entrances, new arenas, and newly signed superstars.
I hope the Wyatt sicks have a special animation where they stand on the ramp with howdy and the rocking chair when they’re managers (I think the OG Wyatt’s had this animation in a game before)
Bloodline showcase mode let's goooooo
I just need them to admit they dropped the ball on 24 and reflect on that moving forward towards supporting only current gen I don’t plan on purchasing for another 2-3 years assuming GTA 6 will keep me afloat
I wouldn't mind a showcase that focused on some big time matches (Montreal screw job, Undertaker vs Mankind Hell in a Cell) etc
If showcase has to be included I wouldn't mind an Undertaker focused one or Shawn Michaels (no excuse for missing d x stuff)
I think 2K24 killed my fandom. The way they did nothing to fix problems in the game, but focused on Myfaction. It's not worth the money they charge.
We can expect some persona cards for stuff that was in 22 or 23. No changes to Universe Mode (nothing good at least). Game will be beautiful though, so there’s that.
I think they need to really update the universe mode with some story telling cut scenes and make it where the persona cards are easier to come by.
More realistic stuff such as
:how wrestlers lay on ground pron
: how belt looks on both
:tag teams within factions
: more realistic spots/sequences in matches
I can go on
If we get a showcase Hopefully it be a Thriple H showcase 🙏 that way they can add dx which alot of ppl be asking..
Fingers crossed for 2k25 hopefully the devs had got the feedback from there last game
Also this will be 2k’s (10th) anniversary.
I just want the game to work and function like 2k19. Also im sick of the "minor improvements" if we dont get some type of massive overhaul to this engine 2K25 is going to look just like 2k22-2k24
Itd be amazing if they added the ironsurvivor match have it in universe mode as a number one contenders match and whoever wins it automatically sets up that rivalry for you in universe mode
Honestly, they should get rid of showcase and just make it like my player and get rid of my rise and make it into story mode with seasons
Wait till Angry Joe does a RANT on this game.
3 stages of hell needs to come back also maybe lumberjack
This shouldn’t be hard to add
Agreed. We can do 2 out of 3 falls, so its not like that's much different
Chain wrestling and do more with weapons
What we should expect is updated roster, some showcase mode, my faction and that’s probably it.
I hope for so much more lol
They have to find a way to make the game feel fresh. To make it enjoyable longer than a month or two. Maybe a longer story mode that feels way better and bigger stakes. A level up system based off of how you wrestle in the indies. So if you wanna level up your Ariel abilities equip starter moves. The more you do them the more you level up in that fighting style. After you finish the story let it combine to universe mode where you can have revolving story lines defend your titles or you lose the championship and have to go down a road to royal rumble if you fail there elimination chamber etc. make it feel good
A punk showcase would be awesome! They already introduced his 2010 model add gallows in there with some 2010 matches with r-truth, Rey mysterio etc.
Royal Rumble match needs some revamping as well
One of the main objectives of any video game ever is to unlock everything. So I'm hoping they improve the way my faction works in that matter
I think there's even more of 2K Showcase because, remember in WWE 2K20 they put the 1st 2K Showcase of Women's? They always became a greatest female superstars of all-time! But now, I think Trish Stratus will put her in 2K Showcase of Women part 2! We're gonna LOVE THAT!!!!
My cover predictions
Base: The Rock (obviously the biggest name and face associated with WWE, and they’ve used legends for recent games (Rey, Cena)
Deluxe: CM Punk & Drew McIntyre (great rivalry and both deserve it)
Icon: Bloodline (I believe the showcase will either focus on Roman’s title reign or the Bloodline as a whole)
And NXT underground, Qualify number one contender, Saturday Night Main Event. The women’s U.S. and International championship.
I really do hope they fix the entrances and the crowd pops
I hope they do a story designer because I missed that in the game. I hope it's in the game and maybe I'm Universe Mode or of its own, I missed story designer so we will see what happens but if not, WWE 2K25 might be cooked and they aren't listening to the WWE Community.
My prediction on the cover athletes is this:
Standard: Gunther
Cross Gen: Chelsea Green, Kalani Jordan, and the Women's United States Champion
Anniversary: Og Bloodline vs The Bloodline faceoff
Would be cool to get new arena templates, tournaments added to to universe mode, heritage cup match type and being able to create custom cups.
What I want to see fixed amount many other issues:
Get rid of fighting stances
Don’t make us lock up to do moves
Get rid of combos
Fix the targeting system so when you change target it goes to the person who is the most immediate threat not cycling through the opponents based on the positions they were chosen on the roster selection
Bring back the weapons physics from 2K20 where you could hit an opponent in the gut and then DDT them onto a chair, give them a conchairto and slam opponents onto the steel steps
Give us more options with weapons like being able to set up chairs and do moves onto them or use them for springboard moves like Sabu used to do
Increase the amount of weapons that can be on screen at once and allow us to grab the same weapon from the weapon wheel multiple times. So instead of having to have the chair in their twice a little number will appear above that weapon that indicates how many of that weapon have been pulled out so you can do actual chair piles while also having kendo sticks, garbage cans and tables out
Make the ring bell a weapon again, the announce table cover and in retro arenas, the monitors from the announce table
Bring back OMG moments so you can more easily break the ring and actually put people through the barricade now
Fix AI during multi man matches so they will actually break up pins and submissions and stop someone from pulling down a briefcase or title in ladder or TLC matches
Remove the movement limit around the area inside Hell in a Cell between the ring and the cell wall, HIAC has been shit for the past six or seven years because of this
Have the basic Survivor Series WarGames arena have two rings all the time instead of only being limited to two rings for WarGames
Add new graphics in for Create A Show, they’ve been the same for seven or eight years, when is a black curtain ever going represent a WWE PPV/PLE?
Fix Create An Arena so parts don’t end up floating in the air when you try and move them, fix certain parts like the right tron from Judgment Day 2005 where it mirrors any image placed on it and the header that is black so you can’t see what you’re putting on it
Give us at least a better outdoor stadium preset and give us an indoor stadium preset so they feel like stadiums
Update and include the movies for every single preset PPV/PLE and TV show in Create an Arena, the one for Backlash is the WrestleMania Backlash one from 2022
Give us more generic preset movies for Create an Arena
Do a better job at adding logos in for wrestlers in the WWE Images section and get rid of useless ones like those stupid cabbage doll things they did for Becky and Charlotte. Those are in the image section but Gallus’ logo isn’t.
Finally, better communication with the community and actually addressing issues, if you’re having trouble fixing an issue, just fucking tell us. Don’t stay silent because then we don’t know what’s going on.
It’s going to be the same game again they’re just going to sell you a new match type like iron survivor and a showcase and people are going to buy it. They need to fix universe add promos or create a story back and fix online
id love a bray wyatt showcase or a cm punk show case or a wcw or ecw showcase would be cool
Forget 2k25.... im far more interested in procuring that Piper/Bret poster in the background.
Let us be able to customize Champion and tag team entrances
I will see about 2k25 since i still play 2k23 didn't bother getting 2k24 since i knew it was going be terrible.
I’ve been boycotting since 2k18. Unless Universe mode becomes the main focus and they bring back story designer, 2K won’t get a dime from me ever again. Tired of these half-assed games, give me a complete wrestling game with replay value
2k should bring back create a story
😮Omg Assemble is happy it's making me happy! 😊
I hope everyone who watches this has a good Christmas 🎄🎅❤
i know this isnt one of those videos but i would love to see 2k impliment a past downloads feature in community creations for when something gets corrupted or deleted. it sucks having to search for specific arenas you had in the past and not being able to find it
I want to see improvements with cage style matches. More moves off the top, etc. More animations when slamming opponents into the cage, etc. Used to LOVE cage matches.
Remove showcase, bring back road to WrestleMania. Give us more caw slots, 2k24 to 2k25 caw base model import feature so we don’t have to start from scratch. And several more universe mode options and enhancements
THIS !!!!!!!
Im really excited for wwe 2k 25 I hope they add more match types and I hope their is a showcase mode centered around the bloodline or cm punk but I'm mostly excited to see Jacob fatu oba FEMI jaida parker and lola vice be in this games roster
Customizing matches , back stage ,coffin ⚰️ ambulance matches , oh create a move a fail proof g.m and universe mode plus the beat the streak challenges from w2k14 is all we need
man I really want to get it, always love the Career mode and GM modes.
Really nervous about MyFaction though, 2K24 had like 40 characters locked behind aggressive microtransactions
Change the fighting system and go back how it used to be back in the og days
I really want Eddie Guerrero on the cover of 2k25 since it will have been 20 years. If not atleast for a special edition that releases on the day of his passing
Bruh relax
@@BollyToHolly Or you know, don't be so shallow and boring. Ppl like you make the internet less fun
I rather have Chris Benoit on the cover or a playable character but that will never happen 🤦🏾♂️💯
@@iHeartThe90s “pEoPlE lIkE yOu…” cry about it.
When using the grapple move as before, they should use the move directly without any hold behavior.
We really need Triple H ‘02 - ‘06 one of those HHH with his different color lighting tired of the green lighting
Yes please !
I am personally thinking of holding off on my yearly pre-order as there is so much content I’ll never get in this game (after all the money I spent) because I don’t play MyFaction
Honestly it will be same as usual bugs that never get fixed.. but I’m hoping it will be a lot better in universe mode..
I would like to see on WWE2K25:
New & Returns match types
Biggest roster
Updated Universe mode
Maybe cheats codes or we can be able to unlock everything.
Superstars Championship PPV Entrances
PPV INTROS AND PYROS
Updated Titantrons and themes
Showcase either The Rock, Bloodline, Undertaker.
Maybe VR Purchased points.
Hopefully the My Faction isn’t the only way to get characters
A lot less MyFaction would be great! Also to be able to back out of it if you accidentally click it. I would rather them dismiss it altogether and concentrate more on story mode with mygm and myuniverse options.
Bring back create a finisher. An updated version of create a finisher.
Please add more pinfall animations in 2K. I am so sick of the boring pinfall animations we've been stuck with for years. Like options for hooking both legs and big guys pinning in dominating fashion.
They should focus on universe mode, focus money in the bank cash in on paper views and polish it and remove same old cut sceens in universe mode and polish everything because i think 2k25 will be better🗿
Cross Brand Events in MyGM would be Nice - also more Match types in mygm like war Games or a proper Royal rumble - the Mode is really nice if they change a Little Bit more
i want triple h on the cover of at least one of them
That’s all I want
I love this idea wish they do it tbh
Probably a later game than 2K25.
I've been really excited for the past 3 games but I feel like I'm not as excited for 2K25, but maybe when the trailer comes out and we know everything then it will change my mind
Also time flew by WAY too fast like how is it already time for 2K25 lol
hopefully they can surprise us
Eddie guerrro on the cover would be legendary
We need better DLC packs in WWE2k25
Not only bring back show intros and promos, but also bring back #1 contender matches; something that hasn't been seen since wwe12.
Does anyone know if 2k still does the feedback project? Features like universe mode need more fan input in order to make it better. If it's a functionality issue and time management is hindering the process, they need to focus on universe mode or gm mode exclusively. It can't be both at this point.
Hear me out.. a showcase about factions, all the way from the nwo and dx to the bloodline and Wyatt six. Obviously others like the shield or nexus wouldn't be on it but it would be cool. We would get different versions of the nwo and dx members and some retro versions of the usos because of their history with the new day and all that cool stuff
I’m just looking forward to Ultra pro wrestling
tough to know where they go from here as we dont have too many crazy new additions to the roster to get hype about,as always new match types are welcome along with the updated character models and championships but realistically for me its about refining what is already here as the base elements of the game are solid and serve as a great foundation upon which to clean things up and smooth out the creases of which there are many,not necessarily a popular opinion but sometimes less is more in terms of giant sweeping changes from 1 year to the next,deffo a live service style update package would be a huge want on my hit list
I could be wrong but I have a feeling that WWE 2k25 is just a copy and paste of WWE 2K24 but with a few new weapons, Match types and Roster.
It's honestly like these gaming companies are not trying to one up themselves from each year to make each game stand out from the last game.
I guess this is the sad reality of sports games and the cycle they fall into, a copy and paste and just do very little things to improve the game until fans cry out about it or stop buying altogether enough to cause change.
Go switch to NASCAR.
Can’t forget about brand new game-breaking glitches.
back in my day they used to do roster reveals in august and release the game in october. Its currently late december & nothing. 2k22 was good (worth $30), 19 was decent, and 13/14 were the best theyve done since 2007. Considering they dont have the pressure of 2K20 anymore, i doubt this’ll be more than a simple update worth $25 on sale
Hopefully you can guest referee for more than just one on one matches.
Also I miss the solo cam in online matches. It was so much better. The zoomed out camera drives me crazy.
Ill be waiting the one month for it to go on sale
They should include smaller, quality-of-life features too. For example, the ability to rename finishers and signatures-not with preset names, but with customizable presentation names, similar to how “Create-a-Superstar” and “Create-a-Championship” work. They should also allow players to change tag team names in the same way. That way, if I wanted to create something like “D-Evolution X,” the announcers would actually say it.
Another much-needed addition is advanced tag team customization. We should be able to add unique pyro, smoke effects, and other elements to tag team entrances to make them feel distinct.
On top of that, they need to bring back features from older games, like Create-a-Taunt, Create-a-Sprint Animation, and Create-a-Victory Motion. Those options added so much creativity and individuality to the experience, and their absence has been felt.
Lastly, a complete Universe Mode revamp is long overdue. Adding all of these features alongside an improved Universe Mode would give the game incredible longevity and replayability.
Universe revamp is way over due for the last 5 years
Don't know what they'll realistically add to sell 2k25. We need more damn CAW slots, and parts. And new CAW tools, better hair customization, etc. There should be more new match types without losing any. Wargames events with double rings we can have regular non wargames matches in. 5 vs 5 elimination tags on current gen. Story creator. Access to all Universe cutscenes in exhibition for creators. A lot more weapons, and the 2k20 weapon customizations. And no mercy ability to start in arena then go to different backstage areas. And more arena custom options. Where are concession and merch stand brawls? Fighting up and down venue stairs.
Exactly no mater what they add it will never be enough you can't win
With CAW they should allow you to have 2 sets of move sets. So you won’t have to use the same moves over and over!
I expect it to be the same thing, no significant difference and or changes to Universe Mode other than new “rivalry actions” and that’s it still no promos or show intros. Same Universe Mode, same NBA MyTeam GM Mode. Unfortunately. They definitely need a Universe Mode refresh/revamp and less MyFaction shit. And do a lot if they wanna win us over completely. Absolutely agree. 👏🏾
I love showcase mode, as long as we don’t get 10 different versions of the same wrestler. I like unlocking different wrestlers. I don’t really mess with GM or Universe mode. I wish they’d bring back Create-A-Finisher and also give us more CAW slots. Also wouldn’t mind if they did something like HCTP and give us more interactive stuff backstage or even an outside venue! Lastly, the action figures have grown on me, so I’ve been toying with MyFaction a bit more lately trying to get them all. 👀 Maybe a couple more action figures. Austin? Warrior?
For me a rework on persona cards if it comes back and better communication from wwe 2k
