if 2k doesnt heavily promote universe mode we already know its barely touched again and i am not buying the same game again this year ,compared to nba games its so bad and poor
@theultimatefarmer0 it was not.same game but a couple new matches and a bigger showcase. Tbat is not huge step up at all. Visually presentation audio gameplay it was the same. 2k has to step up and do a real step up because it doesn't not come close to its nba games
I’m glad you touched on weapon physics first and even went back to it. Nobody else who makes WWE 2K content ever talks about it and it makes me feel like I’m the only one who cares about weapon mechanics. Do people not remember how much fun that was and how much that added to a match from SVR 11 - WWE 2K14
I've been playing past games like 2k17 and 18 I miss that old Play style they need that back Its wrestling game not a fighting game You don't see roman dodging a claymore by doing a roll through it doesn't work like that BRING BACK SIMULATION
The problem is that they take the wrong thing from simulation and wrong things from simulation. When they go with simulation, they think about removing arcade elements such as throwing people freely off cages, unique weapon mechanics, etc. And when they go more into the video game style, they go fighting stances, combos, and slowing moves down, so they have a lot of setup.
Unfortunately 2ks approach will always be 5 steps back just to move forward 2 steps to get the community happy…they need to make it like svr11 and 2k14
@TariqKhan-xm5mr as long as 2K is in control of tge license, unfortunately what they equate to a successful game is. "How many units did we sell?" "How many pre-orders dis we sell?" "How much VC dis we sell?" Just so they can dump all that money into the new NBA title and neither game works leaving fans dissapointed 😒
1:40 totally agree. Screw 'MyFaction' gambling scheme and screw the company 2K.After so many years of disappointing games, WWE should *fire them and give the rights* to a better developer ^^
As a fellow content creator I really enjoyed this video. I really liked how you did the cuts, sounds, and made a point. I totally agree with the points you were making one of my biggest issues with the series has been the focus on my faction feels like it's been pushing me away from the game instead of pulling me towards it or to try to find something that's for me. I am one of those people on the cusp of either backing away from this game or trying to find mods on PC in the future.
First of all, Thank you! Second, you are not wrong. I feel like there are more people in the same boat than you might realize. 2K25 is going to be interesting. Either they double down, and risk losing the license. Or they make it right and keep the fan base.
I would merge Universe and GM Mode together. Then we can have a mode where the creativity and freedom still exists but also the financial and competitive brand aspects of GM mode brings you into a situation of a booker where you have to be much more strategic
I know Bryan personally. He does hear the fans. But at the end of the day, he doesn't run the company. 2K decides what makes the cut. These devs have books of ideas they want in. Very little, make it in the game each year due to quota. They are limited because of WWE and 2K. Time is not on this games side, which is why I wish they would take 2 years per game.
@@theprowrestlingshoot I don't get this. 2K has had the game for over 10 years. I just went back and watched www.youtube.com/@BrendenPlayz do his 2K14 Universe series just to compare to today. A lot of what players want is in that game. It's not perfect, but if they would have built from that point until today the right way, good lord this would be a great game! How is it possible for someone to put out a list of 30 things 2K14 did better than 2K24? Blows my mind!
@@GamerDad4444well we have to remember that Yukes were apart of the development team and the last time they worked with 2K was 2k19 and that’s by far the greatest 2K game in recent years. It went downhill from there because we got a whole new dev team that made the monstrosity 2k20 and so on

Until Yukes comes back or the dev team starts to actually care and realize that it’s possible to remove the unnecessary parts and add in the parts that we truly want, we will never get a good WWE 2k. The last WWE 2K game that was somewhat perfect was 2k19 & Yukes are the ones that developed it. 2k23 was my last WWE game & It’s truly heart breaking watching this go down under
@@nickdelaney6953 All I know is I’d rather have Road to WrestleMania than MyFaction that I don’t even use or showcase mode that’s literally just endless objectives of stuff we’ve already probably seen in real life… Road to WrestleMania would give content creators something to actually get hyped about
I can't remember which game it was, but I seem to remember that even if you didn't injure your opponant, you could still beat them up enough that they would disappear for a few weeks.
You were spot on with everything. I never experienced story designer, but it sounded awesome when it was in the games back then. I hope it returns in 2k25
They did skip a year (2k21), and STILL don’t know how to make a good wrestling game. Hell, even their basketball fambase is complaining about THAT game. Something tells me 2k is making too much money to give a damn at this point.
no matter what they do, they’ve already let us down so many times. Thats why i dont trust 2K regardless of what they add to the new games. It’ll be either buggy, or have lots of missing features.
While thoroughly enjoying the channel, I am intrigued by the absence of discussions regarding the potential implementation of online and local cooperative options in MY RISE. I fondly recall playing SmackDown! Know Your Role, a game that offered an exceptional cooperative experience. In this game, players could team up with friends as a tag team or a fraction and embark on an endless series of custom storylines. The prospect of pursuing the Bloodline and Judgment Day, accompanied by the introduction of a new, fresh faction with the assistance of friends or betrayal from those same allies, remains highly appealing. 😎😎😎
Yo the limitations of CAWs and Universe Mode really annoyed the hell outta me. But what takes the icing on the cake, is showcase mode. I hope they bring back Road to Wrestlemania or do eras like Golden, Attitude, Ruthless Aggression, and Modern. Lot of showcase matches, without transitioning to the real life match, and less objectives in the match. That 💩 was annoying, I couldn’t play it after The Rock vs Stone Cold X7!
I agree, I would put create a pay per view and take universe mode out for the time being so they can create their own universe mode. they got to get rid of Superstar universe mode, and the issues they are having is starring at their faces. it all comes down to coding the game properly and 2K seems to be having trouble doing that. they got to take all those features they added in universe mode and start from the bottom and work their way to the top to make that mode work.
Boycott 2k25 and send 2k a message. MYFaction is all they care about and its sickening. The game is full of bugs and is neutered. Online is garbage. Universe mode is broken. Created Wrestlers hair gets removed. AI does suck. Forget it.
I'd honestly have them take a look at the submission system in UFC 2 from THQ on Xbox 360. I think that would likely be the best. Unfortunately, mini games, no matter which one, are terrible.
I figured out the issue. WWE 2k24 is one of my all time favorite wrestling games now, but that's because of my own effort. I've messed with sliders, adjusted settings, created my own arenas. BUT THE BIGGEST ISSUE with base game feeling stale is that none of the wrestlers feel like themselves. Everyone for the most part has the same basic "standing elbow drop" move-set. In my game (after also playing with their stats), Randy Orton vs John Cena doesn't feel like two video game characters robotically jogging around a ring. It FEELS like Randy Orton vs. John Cena.
I feel they are slowly going to change GM Mode to 2ks version of Universe Mode Story designer would be perfect and the ability to fully customize the show and Championships you decide to manage. I’m still pretty shocked there is no stat tracker on championships in GM. May sound weird but I literally only play universe now to track championship reigns lol
The mode is just cooked, man. 14 years of dealing with this. Just give us a new revolutionary mode, and scrap that trash. It's taking up game space and for what ? MITB cash ins not to work year after year ? No promos, nothing new that represents WWE TV ? Give me Create a PPV back and create a story and I'll be happy.
@@theprowrestlingshootfor real bro universe mode is complete trash create a story has been highly requested this year tho so I’ll be surprised if it’s not in next Year’s 2K and if anything disappointed 💯
Since 2k18 i bought every WWE game but I didn't buy 2k24 for some reason. It just never made me hyped about it enough for me to buy it. I would have liked to play the Mania showcase but spending 60 bucks on it was kinda too much for me and since they close the server already after 1 year and community creations will be dead once 2k25 drops I feel like waiting for its price to drop is useless too. I hope 2k25 adds enough for me to finally be interested again.
I get it for story mode and creation, piece of advice make use of Spotify connection, bring back creative a finisher and create a story, but with a twist create a story ideas can be used as storylines in WWE Universe Mode, and create a finisher has 5 options rather than 3 corner grapple, regular grapple, diving, rope grapple, and submission.
My hopes for any future WWE game is that they bring back weapon physics/steel chair interactions/double-stacking tables. I also wish they would bring back create a finisher like in SvR 2011, but that to me feels like nothing more than a pipe dream at this point. Create a story, like you mentioned, would be great, but I don't have high hopes for it. 2K really seems to not give a shit about it's fans and just phones it in year after year because they know us fans will still buy their game no matter what.
I honestly just want more creative rival reactions. Like one where a character returns and the commentary and the rival act surprised. Most rivalry actions shouldn’t be locked behind none title matches it’s annoying
I want them to bring back when u could add ur own music to the entrances. Everytime they put the British Bulldog in the game I always want to change his theme song to the attitude era heel theme when he wrestled in jeans in boots. Put all 3 members of Demolition and Road Warriors in the game and more wrestlers that haven't been in the game yet.
This was a great video & I agree 100% the next game needs to have that gameplay quality no one asked for that huge paywall for superstar models we just want a fun wrestling game with working improvements going back to games like SVR 06-07 for backstage interactions SVR 2011 for gameplay, weapon mechanics, universe mode & if they bring back Road To WrestleMania or Season Mode that’ll be perfect. 💯
i always hated submission reactions when wrestlers were in holds.they barely move their body to sell it. Only way to have fun with wwe games is to play old ones as 2k has long way away
Putting it bluntly, they need to forget about last gen consoles and move on solely to current gen. The last gen restrictions are starting to take their toll on the games progression in my opinion. Graphics, gameplay and just general functions need that new gen feel now
😊 LIKE I SAID BEFORE, NO MY FACTION,.... MY CAREER PLAY OUT LIKE GTA/ WWE2K24 SHOWCASE MODE CALLED BEST ERA SHOWCASE... 6 STORIES PER ERA LIKE ROAD 2 WRESTLEMANIA WITH ANIMATION CUTSCENES... NO SLING SHOT TEC ... SEASON/ UNIVERSE MODE PLAY OUT LIKE SVR SERIES 2006 ,2007 , AND 2011 ,... CREATE A STORY LIKE WWE2K14 WITH OPTION FOR GM
Nah adding something into universe mode and they say it'll break everything? It's already broke like he said and I CALL BULLSHIT they're just lazy as hell
It’s the truth. They’re using old code mixed with theirs. Not having the dev time to make a new mode in their language gives them major problems. I might be optimistic but I’m betting they’re letting universe die and a new mode will be introduced for 2k25. They will never get ahold of universe mode in the state it’s in.
All I really want is WWE Story Designer back and it can make a comeback, but people have to make a lot of noise and demand it back. Look what happened with GM Mode back for years people demanded it and kept demanding it and 2k listened. We have to remind 2k that this is the game they work for Us and we pay them when we purchase the game and essentially in someways we are their bosses.
I know it's a 2 week old video but everything you said in this is what I'm looking for story designer making it online, much better weapon physics like before the selling of landing on the ladder etc but yeah i agree with what you said in this video I just don't think they will and you're totally right about 2k25 being it's last chance, I just don't think they care that much but that's my opinion but anyways let's just hope right...
You do not have to spend money for Myfaction cards. You just need to keep up with the timeline. If you keep up with the live events, and learn how to earn MFP fast with the badges, you can easily get all the persona cards. I have them all and never spent 1$ on VC. I love the grind and how they constantly keep updating the live events. It gives a reason to keep coming back and playing all year.
I've played My Faction all year. Players like Rival is Ringside has played all year. It is not just as easy as keeping up with the timeline. Hours upon hours are spent to earn MFPs. It's not a short thing you can just "do". I've got over 700 hours into this year's game and 500 hours are all dedicated to MF. First off, the mode is simply not fun. No matter which event you play. It's a spam mode where you try to win as fast as possible in order to start the next to keep earning MFPs, finishing live events, doing proving grounds, weekly towers, etc. I also have every persona card. But it was no easy task to get by any stretch of the imagination. The point is that the mode is not for the majority of players, yet they are trying to force it to everyone. Not everyone has 700 hours to spare on the game, but want these models (that were in previous games for free). If you love the grind, then that's great! Enjoy it. But don't expect others to feel the same.
I may be in the minority, but all I want are the 2k16-2k19 controls back. The controls were essentially the same for over a decade and the fact that I have to pause the game to look at a combo list just to make sure I'm not doing the same move over and over, I just can't get with it
remove MyRise and Showcase modes, and instead focus on offering a "Road to WrestleMania" with a more meaningful storyline and impactful choices. Additionally, they should bring back the Story Designer feature, allowing players to create their own stories, as 2K can't do their job properly.
I generally like the game a lot and actually liked the 2k24 upgrade/added elements to MyFaction. Obviously the mode is designed for people to shell out cash (which I don't) but at least the grind has some cool rewards. They also presented some genuinely challening matches (Live Events) to win cards, rewards. Lot of upside to mode if they do it right. The biggest upgrades need to be to Universe. Bringing back 'Create a Story' mode that would be community shareable would be my dream addition.
2k, EA, Yukes and any other yearly gaming series ruined true gaming. Now everything is rushed not to mention things are restricted in this new gen console, it’s a lot of things that was possible on the old gen’s that isn’t possible now. We choose graphics over gameplay
7:12 im a online only guy and yes preach bro. Make THE SUBMISSION MECHANIC ACTUALLY FAIR AND ACTUALLY MAKE IT TO WHERE YOU HAVE TO EARN TO PIN! So there 4 somone can't just get you out of the match as soon as they feel like it because they know you are too hurt its so bs
Its a yearly video game, so I dont have massive expectations when it comes to changes....I believe they made a few decisions 3 years ago that handcuffed some options and will keep them limited this year and next. With all the modding and issues, I dont expect to see Create a story anytime soon. I dont believe they are there yet to handle that mode and the issues that will come with it. So that's the last thing I expect to see added. I do enjoy the game as it is, of course, I have issues with decisions they made and a list of things I'd want to see added....I go into this year expecting roughly the same things from the last 2 years when it comes to what they will add and feature.
I think even if a wwe2k game came out that replaced MyFaction with Road To WrestleMania(wont happen) and fixed My Universe(wont happen) it would probably still be bad because theyd try charging you 5.99 for each wrestler you want to do RTW with or something
I'm not expecting a perfect game, but time after time, we got "STABILITY IMPROVEMENTS" without the improvements. Also there are several features like the target system, entrance settings and Community Creations that just simply don't work. My Faction is the shiny new thing but not everyone cares about that mode. I just want things to work is that too much to ask 2K
@@theprowrestlingshoot amen to that 😁 I hope they do good this year. I look forward to when they move to next gen when the time is right if 2k still makes the games when that time comes. I say if because anything can happen but I'm hoping the hold the line
I'm not buying 25. 40+ alternative outfits locked behind a paywall gambling mode. Same glitches in creation mode that were an issue in 2k22! I actually did some MyFaction yesterday and got booted to my home screen. When I went to spend points. I had to play the same live event 11 times to get a survivor series pack that had nothing in it!! It felt like a waste of time. It is a damn boring chore. How does a bronze card lose a match to one finisher the first time and kick out of 3 diamond card finishers the second and 3rd match? Glitches, removed and replaced content. Etc is bad, but MyFaction has killed it for me. I'm out.
I expect WWE 2k25 to be a copy & paste from the years before: huge focus on MyFaction, maybe some minor additions to Universe Mode, some new superstars in the base game + dlcs and Match types will probably stay the same.
I hope they finally stop putting features away and sell it to us as something new in 2 or 3 years time.... (like Special Guest Referee) / i mean if it is with something like the Universe Mode it is okay because it definitely needs an overhaul. Weapon improvements is an absolute MUST ( Weapon Grapple, Physics, GOOD LORD I WANT TO PUT OR LEAN MY GODDAMN TABLE OR LADDER WHERE I WANT )
My biggest disappointment was the career mode, I hate this new trend of having to do certain things within a match to progress through it, what happened to just doing the matches without having to hit a frog splash off the top right corner or 5 body slams in a match I felt the roster was the best we’ve had, the DLC content was a little disappointing really but it worked for my needs for my channel As for 2K25 I’m on the fence right now, do I need to pay out another £100 for a deluxe version so I can get 5 versions of triple h or the undertaker?? Mostly it will depend on the game roster and any new match types, if it’s just a copy and paste of 2K24 then I doubt I will need it and will carry on as I am doing
Also get rid of mycareer it’s only enough time you can go from rookie to wwe champ. Do a story mode like they use to in the old games. Maybe bring back road to wrestlemania. But I’m afraid they’ll mess it up
Since 2k20 I've felt so iffy with buying these games. Each year has been pretty weak since then. I won't pre-order 2k25 I won't buy it unless reviews are really different. With what My Faction has become, broken games, and weak DLC... I'm over 2k I'd rather emulate my old svr games at this point. You made some really good points in this video and really made me miss the older games.
No way. 2k is not up to the task. You’d think they would have learned after the Collosal mess that was 2k20. But instead, 2k have shown what their priority is: myFaction microtransation bullsh*t that is ruining the gaming industry…
Everything he says is spot on the gameplay is super limited can't interact with objects correctly can't even hit finishers off top of ladders or through tables can't even break the freaking barricade anymore it's like the technology gets better but they constantly move backwards what's the point of having all this new tech and capabilities only to not really use it
Unfortunately the #2Kminati have worked their way into a WWE game, MyFaction will continue to get 90% of the focus, ive seen the same thing happen to Career Mode with my childhood favourite game FIFA and their Ultimate Team mode over the last 10/15 years.. Kids and gambling addictions are taking over man! And the gaming industry should be embarrassed! As all theyre looking to do is exploit an addiction.. The ONLY way to get focus back on modes like Universe Mode is to NOT play MyFaction! Just flat out refuse! Then see what happens when the mode stops making them money.. #FixUniverseMode P.S. Great vid as always mate!

Boycott 2k25 and send 2k a message. MYFaction is all they care about and its sickening. The game is full of bugs and is neutered. Online is garbage. Universe mode is broken. Created Wrestlers hair gets removed. AI does suck. Forget it.
Yeah, unfortunately this just won't be the case for the majority.
Great points! What would you replace the submission system with?
I'd honestly have them take a look at the submission system in UFC 2 from THQ on Xbox 360. I think that would likely be the best. Unfortunately, mini games, no matter which one, are terrible.
@@theprowrestlingshoot I looked up some vids and I don't quit get it. Can you make a video on how it would translate to wrestling/WWE2K
Bring back breaking point 😂
@Sircartier651 nah
@@EliteEasyE yes
2K25 needs to be a modern day 2K19, with simulation elements and gameplay and extra content.
I figured out the issue. WWE 2k24 is one of my all time favorite wrestling games now, but that's because of my own effort. I've messed with sliders, adjusted settings, created my own arenas. BUT THE BIGGEST ISSUE with base game feeling stale is that none of the wrestlers feel like themselves. Everyone for the most part has the same basic "standing elbow drop" move-set. In my game (after also playing with their stats), Randy Orton vs John Cena doesn't feel like two video game characters robotically jogging around a ring. It FEELS like Randy Orton vs. John Cena.
AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD GET RID OF THE SQUEAKY TURNBUCKLE! WHO THOUGHT THAT WAS A GOOD IDEA?!
💀
I feel they are slowly going to change GM Mode to 2ks version of Universe Mode Story designer would be perfect and the ability to fully customize the show and Championships you decide to manage. I’m still pretty shocked there is no stat tracker on championships in GM. May sound weird but I literally only play universe now to track championship reigns lol
The mode is just cooked, man. 14 years of dealing with this. Just give us a new revolutionary mode, and scrap that trash. It's taking up game space and for what ? MITB cash ins not to work year after year ? No promos, nothing new that represents WWE TV ? Give me Create a PPV back and create a story and I'll be happy.
I wish wwe 2k would make a arcade game like smackdown vs raw them games where fun to play
Motion capture VS Key Framed animations.
Take out universe mode is crazy they just need to fix it
They been trying to fix it for 14 years. Literally. Enough is enough, lol. Give me something different. That mode is cooked.
@@theprowrestlingshootfor real bro universe mode is complete trash create a story has been highly requested this year tho so I’ll be surprised if it’s not in next Year’s 2K and if anything disappointed 💯
Since 2k18 i bought every WWE game but I didn't buy 2k24 for some reason.
It just never made me hyped about it enough for me to buy it. I would have liked to play the Mania showcase but spending 60 bucks on it was kinda too much for me and since they close the server already after 1 year and community creations will be dead once 2k25 drops I feel like waiting for its price to drop is useless too.
I hope 2k25 adds enough for me to finally be interested again.
I get it for story mode and creation, piece of advice make use of Spotify connection, bring back creative a finisher and create a story, but with a twist create a story ideas can be used as storylines in WWE Universe Mode, and create a finisher has 5 options rather than 3 corner grapple, regular grapple, diving, rope grapple, and submission.
My hopes for any future WWE game is that they bring back weapon physics/steel chair interactions/double-stacking tables. I also wish they would bring back create a finisher like in SvR 2011, but that to me feels like nothing more than a pipe dream at this point. Create a story, like you mentioned, would be great, but I don't have high hopes for it. 2K really seems to not give a shit about it's fans and just phones it in year after year because they know us fans will still buy their game no matter what.
To be honest 2K24 is my second favorite of all time. Behind 2k19.
Glad you enjoy it.
Great Video…. Great Points…… EXCELLENT Production 🔥
Thank you, brotha! I really appreciate that.
Give us more weapons, environmental interactions.. a traversable backstage like the "Smackdown" games
I honestly just want more creative rival reactions. Like one where a character returns and the commentary and the rival act surprised. Most rivalry actions shouldn’t be locked behind none title matches it’s annoying
I want them to bring back when u could add ur own music to the entrances. Everytime they put the British Bulldog in the game I always want to change his theme song to the attitude era heel theme when he wrestled in jeans in boots. Put all 3 members of Demolition and Road Warriors in the game and more wrestlers that haven't been in the game yet.
This was a great video & I agree 100% the next game needs to have that gameplay quality no one asked for that huge paywall for superstar models we just want a fun wrestling game with working improvements going back to games like SVR 06-07 for backstage interactions SVR 2011 for gameplay, weapon mechanics, universe mode & if they bring back Road To WrestleMania or Season Mode that’ll be perfect. 💯
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for the support. I agree 100%
@ No problem brother support cost 💲0.00 anytime I can support I will plus I really enjoy this channel so keep up the great work 👏🏾👏🏾
i always hated submission reactions when wrestlers were in holds.they barely move their body to sell it.
Only way to have fun with wwe games is to play old ones as 2k has long way away
Facts!
The frustration i got with this game ,i never wanna experience again.
It's unfortunate.
Putting it bluntly, they need to forget about last gen consoles and move on solely to current gen. The last gen restrictions are starting to take their toll on the games progression in my opinion. Graphics, gameplay and just general functions need that new gen feel now
Not wrong. Out with the old. But you know. Money.
@theprowrestlingshoot Sadly you're right, money will always come first....
and bring the 2k19 engine back
19 had best hair effects n colors n body oil needs back
How is the gameplay going in the right direction , when I beat the CPU most of the time on legend difficulty with a simple grapple move?
I meant the QOL features. The CPU i said in the video was completely ruined.
I agree, they need to take notes from the SVR series.
Facts. SVR was the GOAT.
😊 LIKE I SAID BEFORE, NO MY FACTION,.... MY CAREER PLAY OUT LIKE GTA/ WWE2K24
SHOWCASE MODE CALLED BEST ERA SHOWCASE... 6 STORIES PER ERA LIKE ROAD 2 WRESTLEMANIA WITH ANIMATION CUTSCENES... NO SLING SHOT TEC ...
SEASON/ UNIVERSE MODE PLAY OUT LIKE SVR SERIES 2006 ,2007 , AND 2011 ,... CREATE A STORY LIKE WWE2K14 WITH OPTION FOR GM
My Faction ain't going anywhere, unfortunately. It may even get worse.
Nah adding something into universe mode and they say it'll break everything? It's already broke like he said and I CALL BULLSHIT they're just lazy as hell
It’s the truth. They’re using old code mixed with theirs. Not having the dev time to make a new mode in their language gives them major problems. I might be optimistic but I’m betting they’re letting universe die and a new mode will be introduced for 2k25. They will never get ahold of universe mode in the state it’s in.
All I really want is WWE Story Designer back and it can make a comeback, but people have to make a lot of noise and demand it back. Look what happened with GM Mode back for years people demanded it and kept demanding it and 2k listened. We have to remind 2k that this is the game they work for Us and we pay them when we purchase the game and essentially in someways we are their bosses.
You ain't wrong.
I know it's a 2 week old video but everything you said in this is what I'm looking for story designer making it online, much better weapon physics like before the selling of landing on the ladder etc but yeah i agree with what you said in this video I just don't think they will and you're totally right about 2k25 being it's last chance, I just don't think they care that much but that's my opinion but anyways let's just hope right...
I don't have any high hopes for 2k25, 2k needs to study the crap out of thq's wwe games, because at this point Thq has done it better by far.
a wider customization in mygm, universe mode and story mode would be great.
Absolutely!
Here's hoping it does get better. Fantastic video. You made valid points as usual.
Thanks, man! Here's to hoping it gets better!
You do not have to spend money for Myfaction cards. You just need to keep up with the timeline. If you keep up with the live events, and learn how to earn MFP fast with the badges, you can easily get all the persona cards. I have them all and never spent 1$ on VC. I love the grind and how they constantly keep updating the live events. It gives a reason to keep coming back and playing all year.
I've played My Faction all year. Players like Rival is Ringside has played all year. It is not just as easy as keeping up with the timeline. Hours upon hours are spent to earn MFPs. It's not a short thing you can just "do". I've got over 700 hours into this year's game and 500 hours are all dedicated to MF. First off, the mode is simply not fun. No matter which event you play. It's a spam mode where you try to win as fast as possible in order to start the next to keep earning MFPs, finishing live events, doing proving grounds, weekly towers, etc. I also have every persona card. But it was no easy task to get by any stretch of the imagination. The point is that the mode is not for the majority of players, yet they are trying to force it to everyone. Not everyone has 700 hours to spare on the game, but want these models (that were in previous games for free). If you love the grind, then that's great! Enjoy it. But don't expect others to feel the same.
get rid of the great cash cow...my faction!
It won't happen, lol.
@@theprowrestlingshoot -i know...but that's what I'd .like to see...that and bring back create a story mode...
I may be in the minority, but all I want are the 2k16-2k19 controls back. The controls were essentially the same for over a decade and the fact that I have to pause the game to look at a combo list just to make sure I'm not doing the same move over and over, I just can't get with it
I loved those controls!
remove MyRise and Showcase modes, and instead focus on offering a "Road to WrestleMania" with a more meaningful storyline and impactful choices. Additionally, they should bring back the Story Designer feature, allowing players to create their own stories, as 2K can't do their job properly.
Well I hope they have more entrance themes or allow us to upload music
I generally like the game a lot and actually liked the 2k24 upgrade/added elements to MyFaction. Obviously the mode is designed for people to shell out cash (which I don't) but at least the grind has some cool rewards. They also presented some genuinely challening matches (Live Events) to win cards, rewards. Lot of upside to mode if they do it right. The biggest upgrades need to be to Universe. Bringing back 'Create a Story' mode that would be community shareable would be my dream addition.
I'm glad you are enjoying the game!
2k, EA, Yukes and any other yearly gaming series ruined true gaming. Now everything is rushed not to mention things are restricted in this new gen console, it’s a lot of things that was possible on the old gen’s that isn’t possible now. We choose graphics over gameplay
Who's we ? Lol. I chose gameplay over everything.
This is was the best 2k since 19 I just want show entrance and promos back in universe
Agreed.
They need to fix the elimination chamber matches people drop out and turned into a.i they can’t even get that right
Sad😢😢😢 WWE
I hope they add war games for custom arenas
I wanna see the moves what they did back in smackdown VS raw 2011.
4:40 we need a game that is gonna be around for at least five years and then a sequel comes out so that way we get updated and all the shit we need
dedicated servers we need and we need now, but they so cheap😡
7:12 im a online only guy and yes preach bro. Make THE SUBMISSION MECHANIC ACTUALLY FAIR AND ACTUALLY MAKE IT TO WHERE YOU HAVE TO EARN TO PIN! So there 4 somone can't just get you out of the match as soon as they feel like it because they know you are too hurt its so bs
Its a yearly video game, so I dont have massive expectations when it comes to changes....I believe they made a few decisions 3 years ago that handcuffed some options and will keep them limited this year and next.
With all the modding and issues, I dont expect to see Create a story anytime soon. I dont believe they are there yet to handle that mode and the issues that will come with it. So that's the last thing I expect to see added.
I do enjoy the game as it is, of course, I have issues with decisions they made and a list of things I'd want to see added....I go into this year expecting roughly the same things from the last 2 years when it comes to what they will add and feature.
Ty for being real and honest
Thank you for always supporting!
Every game nowadays want to have the “purchaseable” mode. Tired of it. Story designer would be incredible.
I think even if a wwe2k game came out that replaced MyFaction with Road To WrestleMania(wont happen) and fixed My Universe(wont happen) it would probably still be bad because theyd try charging you 5.99 for each wrestler you want to do RTW with or something
That's 2K for ya.
I miss when Limb damage meant something…
Facts
I'm not expecting a perfect game, but time after time, we got "STABILITY IMPROVEMENTS" without the improvements. Also there are several features like the target system, entrance settings and Community Creations that just simply don't work. My Faction is the shiny new thing but not everyone cares about that mode. I just want things to work is that too much to ask 2K
Well said
I'm cautiously optimistic with a dash of excited 😁
Always gotta stay optimistic!
@@theprowrestlingshoot amen to that 😁 I hope they do good this year. I look forward to when they move to next gen when the time is right if 2k still makes the games when that time comes. I say if because anything can happen but I'm hoping the hold the line
I'm not buying 25.
40+ alternative outfits locked behind a paywall gambling mode.
Same glitches in creation mode that were an issue in 2k22!
I actually did some MyFaction yesterday and got booted to my home screen. When I went to spend points.
I had to play the same live event 11 times to get a survivor series pack that had nothing in it!! It felt like a waste of time. It is a damn boring chore.
How does a bronze card lose a match to one finisher the first time and kick out of 3 diamond card finishers the second and 3rd match?
Glitches, removed and replaced content. Etc is bad, but MyFaction has killed it for me.
I'm out.
I expect WWE 2k25 to be a copy & paste from the years before: huge focus on MyFaction, maybe some minor additions to Universe Mode, some new superstars in the base game + dlcs and Match types will probably stay the same.
Merging universe and GM would be a plus
@@noelminor1470 you'll love my next video that drops tomorrow.
I hope they finally stop putting features away and sell it to us as something new in 2 or 3 years time.... (like Special Guest Referee) / i mean if it is with something like the Universe Mode it is okay because it definitely needs an overhaul.
Weapon improvements is an absolute MUST ( Weapon Grapple, Physics, GOOD LORD I WANT TO PUT OR LEAN MY GODDAMN TABLE OR LADDER WHERE I WANT )
Absolutely! I've been saying this. Removing features and characters to then brand them as new 2 or 3 years later is lame af.
@ 100% right 💯
If they make universe mode the main focus they have something good on their hands
My biggest disappointment was the career mode, I hate this new trend of having to do certain things within a match to progress through it, what happened to just doing the matches without having to hit a frog splash off the top right corner or 5 body slams in a match
I felt the roster was the best we’ve had, the DLC content was a little disappointing really but it worked for my needs for my channel
As for 2K25 I’m on the fence right now, do I need to pay out another £100 for a deluxe version so I can get 5 versions of triple h or the undertaker?? Mostly it will depend on the game roster and any new match types, if it’s just a copy and paste of 2K24 then I doubt I will need it and will carry on as I am doing
They need to make injuries easier to pull off
Agreed
Also get rid of mycareer it’s only enough time you can go from rookie to wwe champ. Do a story mode like they use to in the old games. Maybe bring back road to wrestlemania. But I’m afraid they’ll mess it up
Since 2k20 I've felt so iffy with buying these games. Each year has been pretty weak since then.
I won't pre-order 2k25
I won't buy it unless reviews are really different.
With what My Faction has become, broken games, and weak DLC... I'm over 2k
I'd rather emulate my old svr games at this point.
You made some really good points in this video and really made me miss the older games.
SVR is ALWAYS a treat.
No way.
2k is not up to the task.
You’d think they would have learned after the Collosal mess that was 2k20.
But instead, 2k have shown what their priority is: myFaction microtransation bullsh*t that is ruining the gaming industry…
Everything he says is spot on the gameplay is super limited can't interact with objects correctly can't even hit finishers off top of ladders or through tables can't even break the freaking barricade anymore it's like the technology gets better but they constantly move backwards what's the point of having all this new tech and capabilities only to not really use it
Weird how that happens, right ? Top of the line tech, bottom of the food chain games.
@theprowrestlingshoot definitely like it's sad to see it's soooo much they can do with this but just choose to keep playing it safe
Gameplay depth always beats graphics! Im still playing 13 because of create a story and better universe mode.
I just re bought 13! I'm excited to play it again.
Too bad the one count glitch ruined it all for me. Wish we could fix it
Updated models especially Roman 2k needs to drop wwe games and let someone take over
Unfortunately the #2Kminati have worked their way into a WWE game, MyFaction will continue to get 90% of the focus, ive seen the same thing happen to Career Mode with my childhood favourite game FIFA and their Ultimate Team mode over the last 10/15 years..
Kids and gambling addictions are taking over man! And the gaming industry should be embarrassed! As all theyre looking to do is exploit an addiction..
The ONLY way to get focus back on modes like Universe Mode is to NOT play MyFaction! Just flat out refuse! Then see what happens when the mode stops making them money..
#FixUniverseMode
P.S. Great vid as always mate!
Thanks, brotha!
