One thing that could really help this mode. Making your events feel like shows and less like playing glorified exhibition matches. They need to make commentary dynamic. Find a way to make shows flow. Add show intros and make more cutscenes for backstage areas and promos. Including backstage promos.
We also need Pre-match, Mid-Match, and Post Match Cutscenes. 3 cutscenes per match if we want that option to choose from. It always grinds my gears that we only get one cutscene per match. We also need body and winning conditions to trigger the next cutscene.
Them saying "itll break it" sounds like a blanket excuse of "we're average at our jobs". That should be your focus before adding new modes like myfaction, or other "patches". I can't believe things we used to have they cant do now and people just accept it. The developers just are not good 😂
Excuses and lies. How many times do they get busted and the community believes the next excuse and lie? Can't unlock MyFaction characters across the entire game because a seperate team works on the mode. Then Status puts the characters into community creations. The hot new lie is that last gen is holding back current gen. We need current gen exclusivity. Nonsense. The PSP SvR had a majority of the features, match types etc. that we want back. And the PSP port was the same as the console minus graphics. What will a true current gen build of WWE 2K give us? Faster loading times into MyFaction? Where you can gamble your money in 4K graphics? Last time we ditched last gen, last gen had all the features and current gen has been stripped ever since. But if we want to keep up this insane logic then how about we ditched console because having to make a game compatible with console hinders true PC capabilities. No. It's lazy developers at Visual Concepts and a greedy publisher 2K. Yearly release short time frame to develop isn't an excuse either. They've collectively had 10 years to get it together.
As long as 2k is in charge we’ll never have those glory days of wrestling games ever again just a bunch of overhyped repetitive garbage each year while the fans keep throwing money at them
I think they gotta dump the whole thing and rebuild. I wish they could have done it when they rebuilt the engine between 2K20 and 2K22. Love how using people like MJF and Orange Cassidy in Road to Elite made their promos just like them because they wrote them. WWE couldn't do the same, but there's enough footage to get the vibe right. Remember those weird SVR games that had Taker talking all crazy, infatuated with Sable and stuff? I just want to make all my old CAWS from No Mercy and have the game build a story around them with cutscenes and the like. I miss No Mercy when you could choose three enemies and slot them in order of how often they interfered in one another's matches.
2k could make universe mode way better by just creating an extension of Gm mode where you have all the cutscenes added and you can customize the show. And boom. That right there is a pretty good Universe mode
Also we should have storyline booking what I mean by that is in a separate menu you can choose whatever story you want to the AI to tell, for prime example you can choose a story called Battle of the Giants. Where the two giant wrestlers battling it out in a intense rivalry and the cutscenes and commentary will automatically tell those stories without you manually having to do so. Or you want to tell a Underdog Story, or a King of the Ring type story. So basically you can watch the story tell itself as if you're watching a full-fledged wrestling program.
I know 2k25 universe mode won't be great but, here's my list of things I would like to see if possible. 1. Number 1 contender matches where commentators can acknowledge the contenders 2. Qualifying matches 3. Promos 4. Triple threat and Faction, handicap rivalries 5. Backstage interviews 6. More freedom with rival actions for example: bury the hatchet cutscene at ple's. 7. Option to assign a general manager 8. Tournaments 9. Backstage cutscenes. 10. Contract signings 11. Draft 12. Show Intros 13. Return segments Let me know any ideas I missed.
Most definitely what is the point of collecting my faction cards when you going to do it all over again when wwe2k25 comes out in March they need to remove that mode but it won't happen
They need to make a co op tag story mode, my faction and online with friends all across the board. I learned that is a great marketing scheme but they don't hear me. Destiny and other games have had a bigger success rate. With promos ect. Open world matches like NBA 2k. Game will be the best. Mic drop
Brooooo. You cooked with this one man. This is pretty much everything I want in a Universe Mode. My ultimate wish is for it to look and feel like a legitimate show from start to finish. Showing guys arriving to the arena, backstage interviews, wrestlers conversing, arguing or even getting into brawls which lead to the GM setting up a match between the parties involved. Call-up Debuts, Guys sitting ringside, etc. there’s years worth of integrations they have to work with. It’s tragic how poor this mode is man.
@@jcsjay thanks, bro! Yeah, this mode i think about quite a bit. People think I hate the mode because i want it removed from the game. But the truth is, I'm tired of seeing it misused. If they can't make this mode a full wwe experience, then just get this out and give us something else. It's depressing.
Also, you should be able to set up universe cutscenes in the normal play mode. Sometimes i dont want to create a big story and i just want to do like a fun tag team break up, or i want to do something like actually control when a cash in happens. This would give the game so much more replayability
One that can really help this mode is making it online like how madden franchise mode is let people join with created characters be on cards and actually fight each other etc
But would be cool, if they added Universe mode and Community Creations on the UFC games. Since those don't have, the story aspect of Pro-Wrestling and the divisions/rankings work similar to how is done in UFC. But instead of Main-eventers and Midcarders, we would have weight divisions. I would love to do, like a Forbidden door PPV like UFC vs One Championship or other MMA promotion.
The bloodline, judgement day, legado, lwo and more, have all been factions and having facion rivalries for ages now, 2k has no excuses next year, they MUST be in
I have zero hope. I remember the interview you had with the guy that is the universe mode lead or whatever. He did not sound enthusiastic about it at all and also seemed like he has no intentions of even trying to fix or revamp it. Without universe mode improving significantly I'm passing on 2K25 and I think a lot of people will too.
It was a depressing interview forsure. He's a very nice guy and I'm sure he wants the best for the mode. But 2K it sounds like isn't giving him the help he needs.
I just hope that if they do bring back promos there's no like time limit on what to pick I don't like that feature being part of the promo system in the older games
Of course they're trying to get rid of it because they can't or refuse to fix the mode. Try taking out the useless Superstar mode and the classic mode will work just fine...
I want full stats..its like a franchise mode in madden ..so make it as such keep win loss records so rankings make sense and have title matches matter because wrestlers earned it....you would be able to start your own streak..or beat the royal rumble record
2k18 had better number one contenders matches leading into a specific stipulation match (i.e. cage, ladder etc.). They were more frequent in 2k18, but also appeared less frequently in 2k19. Love the idea of TV representation.
Both Universe and Creation needed a massive improvement from 2k23… and they did NOTHING. We need a create a story, create a finisher (10 years we’ve heard maybe next year… not good enough), universe needs some fucking life, not just “we get money from faction so let’s just update that.”
WWE Universe Mode peaked when WWE 2K14 came out back in 2013, WWE 12 had the best WWE Universe Mode ever now, it should be put to rest in it's current state and revamp the mode completely
@@theprowrestlingshoot They need to bring back the writers from WWE 12 Universe Mode and bring legends from the past, WCW legends, ECW legends and TNA invasion into the mix

@theprowrestlingshoot thanks 🤘🏼, lets Hope 2k Give US a Better Universemode or a Mode Like It. Plus Hope Many Bugs in Creation Suite, Universemode and the online Community Suite or online playing are gone and the Servers are Better!
The Universe mode they have is a YUKES production that 2K or Visual Concepts don't know how to fix, Add, or subtract from without breaking the mode and or game entirely. Go watch my interview with the dev from Universe mode. He admits all this. Basically saying this mode is doomed. It will ALWAYS be a code they can't Crack unless it is removed, and revamped with code built by them.
Good morning and merry Christmas, bro and bless your family, but we are and I’m hoping I’m hoping there’s a chance there is a chance WWE Story Designer And WWE Pay-Per-View Mode on WWE2K25 it has to be next year. It makes sense but it’s there. We almost like it’s right there in our hands right there in our hands we can feel it. We can feed it touching it. But I do agree with your video. And have a beautiful day, bro.
Yeah, I'm just trying to be optimistic. But I did mention in the video that none of this will probably happen and that if it didn't, at least make sure the mode is playable. Hope you had a great Christmas.
I wish we could use our Spotify music access to really use custom music. Since the Xbox 1 came out I kept 2k24 for 360 so I could use custom music I uploaded by disc to my Xbox hard drive. Such a stupid break of immersion and a stupid decision. I liked also the custom finishing move in 2k24/ and also the w13 would auto create a video for your Caws showcasing your characters name and then it did,your caws finishing moves. That was cool why isn't quality here anymore. Also why are rivalries always with established current ones, I want random created situations. Oh let's drop the stupid showcase mode. Last thing I want is a game to rape me of my agency and can only unlock features by duplicating exact events in a historical match. If I truly wanted a history lesson I would watch a documentary on TH-cam. I have unique characters in my universe mode. All I care about is my rise as a female star and Universe mode, creation suite too. All that nonsense that they put into showcase could have been put into GM mode My Rise, and Universe. They could also hybrid GM mode with Universe mode. And what happened to the show intros that used to be in 2k22 20 19.. I have bought w13, 2k14, 2k17, 18,19,20,22,23 and the full versions you know the 159.99Cad versions every year I mentioned. They can't integrate custom music in it ? When the 360 did before? I bought many CDS I own music and I uploaded discs of music to my 360 HD, AND when I did my hockey I had the JAWS theme play at a home San Jose Game or Hockey Night in Canada and it made my hockey awesome. Wtf was it stopped with Xbox one .... they could have used Spotify for Xbox one. Because my immersion is gone I am not playing NHL games anymore. I have Jason Voorhees in my WWE Universe. I used to have him come out to Alice Coopers He's back from Fri.13th part 6 a true Jason anthem!!! Same,with Freddy Kruger I had DREAM WARRIORS from Dokken Playing as it was a theme,from Nightmare on ElmStreet 3. I also have some MK characters they come out with the techno Mortal Kombat Theme. Half the fun of Caws was being able to upload and put favorite custom songs into the mix. Authenticity for my games is key. I will be honest this girl isn't a,big wrestling fan but I am fascinated by sports and the custom options for a fighting game is abundant with this franchises, characters creation, arenas creation, face import, custom animations for entrances Pyro included I mean what other games have all these offerings in one,place .... truly not many. I want custom music back in my Universe, it kills immersion for me. And,if I have to use someone else's music it's not that characters music. God I wish these game devs would care as much as i do and we do about our passion for our favorite games. There's no excuse why custom music and other features are missing. Period! Thanks for,your videos I wish 2k actually would listen to us!
@@ladyjayee this is a LOT to reply to. But I will say this as a whole, you are not wrong with anything being said here. This mirrors the passion and creativity that ALL the WGC has. I wish change would be made as well. I do miss custom music. Thank you for watching.
@theprowrestlingshoot hey no problem I am passionate about all my games I am happy we have a network of like minded gamers who seem to know what features are important more than the devs. Hope you had a good Christmas hope 2025 is awesome for you
It seems like they made these games so complicated with the coding. MyGM does things like uses the Tag Teams during Exhibition Mode. I don't see why they don;t do that with Universe Mode.Like they keep it separate when I play the game offline. Maybe have it if the tag teams are being used or titles. They are locked to Universe Mode as if i don't like how my roster or Universe turns out. I will delete it anyway. I generally vacate the Exhibition Champions anyway. So its not that big of a deal.
Because visual concepts doesn't know how to fix the coding that YUKES left behind. When YUKES left, they should have removed all that coding and started from scratch. Even if that meant removing universe mode for a couple of years. Now they have lost all control.
@@theprowrestlingshoot But then they are up to their 5th game without them & they can't re-write their own? My theory & this ties into why they focused on Myfaction heavily. There is a money issue with these games. The budgets given are less ever since 2K20 & covid. It makes me wonder will 2K be making WWE games still as much as they sell. The expense might not be there anymore. It just feels like 2K25 will be a copy & paste job with some updates. Like with 2K24 from 2K23.
All we need is a wrestling game that feels good and realistic And is fun can last as long as possible Until the next game The recent 2k wrestling games feel horrible And slow and boring And have barely eny freedom (They need to at least make the game faster cleaner and more free)
Universe mode has been terrible. That's my mode and unfortunately it will not be playable for a long time. My hope they start from scratch or add it to my GM where you could have the option to turn on or off the GM portion when you're playing the universe mode.
Man I so agree with the PLE shit. NO reason why my Punk v Rollins is happening on the go home show of raw and NOT WrestleMania. The kids is so brain dead it makes it hard to play sometimes
Dude, it makes me want to slam my head against a wall! Books that mess like they do on television. That match should only happen at PLEs. Thanks for watching, man.
Just make it a good simulation with 2k19 that means chain wrestling no stupid fighting stance or blocking or combos with sd here comes the pain physics in moves animations
The potential to easily be the best game mode is currently the worst as of right now. Still my favorite, but 2K19 is King still at least regarding to Universe mode.
They need to let me make this game first I would use the same commentary that wwe shows use to kill the staleness second I would introduce fully voice acting promos in all gimmicks third I would use open world walk around in the back stage and interact with superstars for quest like RPG action in a Road To WrestleMania way and ditch my rise forth I get rid of showcase mode and universe mode I'll keep my faction and lastly I would introduce reverse a special with a special superstars do it all the time but I think the wrestling code gonna be the downfall to 2k wrestling game tho .
If the mode is so broken then rebuild it from scratch, just like they did for MyGM? Fed up of the excuses now.. Universe Mode is the reason i buy the game so if its not vastly improved or at least in a playable state in 2K25 then im seriously considering not buying a WWE game for the first time in 25 years!
I agree and wwe 2k25 need to be updated every week for wwe stars new attires they wore on raw NXT smackdown PLE and for me I don't like the new controller system old controller system is way better wwe 2k15 to wwe 2k20
WRONG. universe mode is the mode that makes wwe games replay ability cuz ppl dont want my faction and showcase u play it once u dont play it again my rise u play thru it finish it u dont play it again so universe mode will always be in game
Not wrong. Subjective. This mode is DEAD. No life is in this mode, and nothing works. The fans would get over it if something better was brought to the table.
WWE 2K games will always be the same with the same problems, because people keep buying them anyway. The only way to have a revolution would be not to buy it, I stopped after 2k23 and I hope people start doing the same thing with 2k25 (it will always be the same buggy shit with myfaction at the forefront anyway)
We need breaking bones on 2k25 wwe game please bring it back to us walk back stage free roam please bring it back to us please bring it back breaking bones on 2k25 wwe game please bring it back to us please
I say get rid of Universe Mode and bring back Create a Story. It’s literally RTWM & Universe mode all in one and it gives you FULL creative control from matches to backstage segments to promos.
All those points are great , but let's just go with the easy thing , take off this wasted universe mode and bring back create a story mode with all the old cutscenes
They don't care if it matters or not they just care for sale of u have problem don't u dare spend a single doller on it even to make a vidio like a hypocrite
One thing that could really help this mode. Making your events feel like shows and less like playing glorified exhibition matches. They need to make commentary dynamic. Find a way to make shows flow. Add show intros and make more cutscenes for backstage areas and promos. Including backstage promos.

We also need Pre-match, Mid-Match, and Post Match Cutscenes. 3 cutscenes per match if we want that option to choose from. It always grinds my gears that we only get one cutscene per match. We also need body and winning conditions to trigger the next cutscene.
I love this! Absolutely agree.
More variety too. Been the same ones for years.
Them saying "itll break it" sounds like a blanket excuse of "we're average at our jobs". That should be your focus before adding new modes like myfaction, or other "patches". I can't believe things we used to have they cant do now and people just accept it. The developers just are not good 😂

No. It's lazy developers at Visual Concepts and a greedy publisher 2K. Yearly release short time frame to develop isn't an excuse either. They've collectively had 10 years to get it together.
1000% correct
💯

Such a stupid break of immersion and a stupid decision. I liked also the custom finishing move in 2k24/ and also the w13 would auto create a video for your Caws showcasing your characters name and then it did,your caws finishing moves. That was cool why isn't quality here anymore.
Also why are rivalries always with established current ones, I want random created situations.
Oh let's drop the stupid showcase mode. Last thing I want is a game to rape me of my agency and can only unlock features by duplicating exact events in a historical match. If I truly wanted a history lesson I would watch a documentary on TH-cam. I have unique characters in my universe mode. All I care about is my rise as a female star and Universe mode, creation suite too. All that nonsense that they put into showcase could have been put into GM mode My Rise, and Universe.
They could also hybrid GM mode with Universe mode.
And what happened to the show intros that used to be in 2k22 20 19..
I have bought w13, 2k14, 2k17, 18,19,20,22,23 and the full versions you know the 159.99Cad versions every year I mentioned. They can't integrate custom music in it ? When the 360 did before?
I bought many CDS I own music and I uploaded discs of music to my 360 HD, AND when I did my hockey I had the JAWS theme play at a home San Jose Game or Hockey Night in Canada and it made my hockey awesome. Wtf was it stopped with Xbox one .... they could have used Spotify for Xbox one. Because my immersion is gone I am not playing NHL games anymore.
I have Jason Voorhees in my WWE Universe. I used to have him come out to Alice Coopers He's back from Fri.13th part 6 a true Jason anthem!!! Same,with Freddy Kruger I had DREAM WARRIORS from Dokken Playing as it was a theme,from Nightmare on ElmStreet 3. I also have some MK characters they come out with the techno Mortal Kombat Theme. Half the fun of Caws was being able to upload and put favorite custom songs into the mix. Authenticity for my games is key. I will be honest this girl isn't a,big wrestling fan but I am fascinated by sports and the custom options for a fighting game is abundant with this franchises, characters creation, arenas creation, face import, custom animations for entrances Pyro included I mean what other games have all these offerings in one,place .... truly not many. I want custom music back in my Universe, it kills immersion for me. And,if I have to use someone else's music it's not that characters music. God I wish these game devs would care as much as i do and we do about our passion for our favorite games. There's no excuse why custom music and other features are missing. Period! Thanks for,your videos I wish 2k actually would listen to us!
@@ladyjayee this is a LOT to reply to. But I will say this as a whole, you are not wrong with anything being said here. This mirrors the passion and creativity that ALL the WGC has. I wish change would be made as well. I do miss custom music.
Thank you for watching.
@theprowrestlingshoot hey no problem I am passionate about all my games I am happy we have a network of like minded gamers who seem to know what features are important more than the devs. Hope you had a good Christmas hope 2025 is awesome for you
@ladyjayee Thank you! You as well.
It seems like they made these games so complicated with the coding. MyGM does things like uses the Tag Teams during Exhibition Mode. I don't see why they don;t do that with Universe Mode.Like they keep it separate when I play the game offline. Maybe have it if the tag teams are being used or titles. They are locked to Universe Mode as if i don't like how my roster or Universe turns out. I will delete it anyway. I generally vacate the Exhibition Champions anyway. So its not that big of a deal.
Because visual concepts doesn't know how to fix the coding that YUKES left behind. When YUKES left, they should have removed all that coding and started from scratch. Even if that meant removing universe mode for a couple of years. Now they have lost all control.
@@theprowrestlingshoot But then they are up to their 5th game without them & they can't re-write their own? My theory & this ties into why they focused on Myfaction heavily. There is a money issue with these games. The budgets given are less ever since 2K20 & covid. It makes me wonder will 2K be making WWE games still as much as they sell. The expense might not be there anymore. It just feels like 2K25 will be a copy & paste job with some updates. Like with 2K24 from 2K23.
All we need is a wrestling game that feels good and realistic
And is fun
can last as long as possible
Until the next game
The recent 2k wrestling games feel horrible
And slow and boring
And have barely eny freedom
(They need to at least make the game faster cleaner and more free)
They should have a choice for returning superstars for superstars that return from the injuries you gave them and have the crowd pop on 10!!! 😂😂😂
Amazing!
Universe mode has been terrible. That's my mode and unfortunately it will not be playable for a long time. My hope they start from scratch or add it to my GM where you could have the option to turn on or off the GM portion when you're playing the universe mode.
I feel it. But i gotta be optimistic.
Man I so agree with the PLE shit. NO reason why my Punk v Rollins is happening on the go home show of raw and NOT WrestleMania. The kids is so brain dead it makes it hard to play sometimes
Dude, it makes me want to slam my head against a wall! Books that mess like they do on television. That match should only happen at PLEs.
Thanks for watching, man.
@ ofcourse man, I watch and like all the vids bro keep shining
Keep this video saved for next year. And the year after that. 2k ain't changing anything in universe mode!
I gave up on 2k last year
@@vishnukh8621 gotta stay optimistic, my dude.
Just make it a good simulation with 2k19 that means chain wrestling no stupid fighting stance or blocking or combos with sd here comes the pain physics in moves animations
The potential to easily be the best game mode is currently the worst as of right now. Still my favorite, but 2K19 is King still at least regarding to Universe mode.
if theyJUST add promos / backstage stuff sadly i’d be happy 😂
Don't just settle for the minimum. The moment you do, that's ALL they will focus on and we will never get the mode we deserve.
Also, everything you said in this video should be in the game.
I'm glad you enjoyed it, man! Merry Christmas!
They need to let me make this game first I would use the same commentary that wwe shows use to kill the staleness second I would introduce fully voice acting promos in all gimmicks third I would use open world walk around in the back stage and interact with superstars for quest like RPG action in a Road To WrestleMania way and ditch my rise forth I get rid of showcase mode and universe mode I'll keep my faction and lastly I would introduce reverse a special with a special superstars do it all the time but I think the wrestling code gonna be the downfall to 2k wrestling game tho .
If the mode is so broken then rebuild it from scratch, just like they did for MyGM? Fed up of the excuses now.. Universe Mode is the reason i buy the game so if its not vastly improved or at least in a playable state in 2K25 then im seriously considering not buying a WWE game for the first time in 25 years!
I don't blame you. All the focus is being put into the wrong stuff.
I agree and wwe 2k25 need to be updated every week for wwe stars new attires they wore on raw NXT smackdown PLE and for me I don't like the new controller system old controller system is way better wwe 2k15 to wwe 2k20
If they updated it every week, we would surely have to pay for it. Micro transactions would be NUTS.
What about myGM
What about it ?
WRONG. universe mode is the mode that makes wwe games replay ability cuz ppl dont want my faction and showcase u play it once u dont play it again my rise u play thru it finish it u dont play it again so universe mode will always be in game
Not wrong. Subjective. This mode is DEAD. No life is in this mode, and nothing works. The fans would get over it if something better was brought to the table.
The Universe mode sucks.
Just give us story designer.
Why not combine both and throw in some minor features like number Contender 1 matches, the draft, two night PPVs, and more people in rivalries.
WWE 2K games will always be the same with the same problems, because people keep buying them anyway. The only way to have a revolution would be not to buy it, I stopped after 2k23 and I hope people start doing the same thing with 2k25 (it will always be the same buggy shit with myfaction at the forefront anyway)
WWE 2k25 Famniversary x Show Royal rumble myrise
They won’t get rid of universe because nobody would buy the game
People would still buy if there was a new mode to replace it with. Universe mode isn't that good, lol.
We need breaking bones on 2k25 wwe game please bring it back to us walk back stage free roam please bring it back to us please bring it back breaking bones on 2k25 wwe game please bring it back to us please
If it is just like 2k24 I wil not buy it because it cost a lot of money just for the same boring game each year
Fire Eveyone who works in universe mode
Ouch! Lol
They should sell universe story lines like fornite instead of those dumb cards
I say get rid of Universe Mode and bring back Create a Story.
It’s literally RTWM & Universe mode all in one and it gives you FULL creative control from matches to backstage segments to promos.
All those points are great , but let's just go with the easy thing , take off this wasted universe mode and bring back create a story mode with all the old cutscenes
I'd be perfectly ok with this.
Multi person cutscene hasnt been a thing since ps3 ffs story mode 2k14 perfect example
