Thanks for watching today's video. Had major technical issues putting this together so I apologize it's delayed WAY more than I'd like. But thank you for giving up the time to check it out!
Hey Matt I’m Wondering If You Can Get That Gitchy affect on the LED board during the entrance and also around the ring skirts will it work for them too
Matt, three match cards in MyGM means they're playing it on easy. Easy difficulty give you three show matches and four PLE matches. Normal difficulty and higher gives you the four match show card and five match PLE card.
No pc on cc this year to share with console
Play 2K24 MyGM on easy and then come back here and tell us how many match slots there are.
@@Sacrilege83 It literally says when selecting the game difficulty in MyGM on 2K24 that easy gives you one midcard match for shows and two midcard matches for PLEs. Normal and higher says two for shows and three for PLEs. So therefore, the footage from the trailer was from an easy playthrough.
I hope they show reveal of Universe Mode, It's one of the most fun modes in wrestling games but it has now been heavily underutilized for years.
I'm actually refusing to buy the game this year, unless I see something of significance in regards to Universe Mode. Its just like the problem of Madden and its never updating Franchise mode. We all keep making the mistake of buying this patch-job that they have been doing for almost a decade at this point. I want to see something that makes the game worth purchasing. Especially Universe Mode.
@@pastorneil9125 respect
you all know it will al be about myfaction again stop fooling yourselves
Me Too I only buy the game for universe mode every year. I grew up on my gm but haven’t got into it since they brought it back And I NEVER PLAY more than 10mins of my rise 😂😂 I might try it out this year tho.
I see you everywhere
What do you do for a living
I wish instead of taking multiple roster slots, have one John Cena and then an Attire menu under character and when you select Dr of Thuganomics gimmick, you would then come out with that music and entrance.
Then you would just have 1 person with different clothes. Having different personas means different moves and people. Cant put every move on 1 character
@ what I was getting at is they can have their music, entrance, move sets, etc that came with that character. We don’t need 10 Cenas, 7 undertakers etc.
@@Shawn_Martit already was like that in 2k24 except he took up different slots. i'd be fine if it was an actual different model but in 2k24 it wasn't. it was all 2k20 which is basically 2024 cena with different attire
@@AlfredRobinsonII the really dumb part is when it puts Undertaker vs Undertaker, for example. Or
13:00 the "Easy" difficulty in 2k24 GM mode had only 1 mid card match I believe, while "Normal" difficulty and above had 2 mid card matches. Perhaps this explains why we're only seeing one here?
Came here to say this.
@@TheJaredscott83 came here to say that :)
@@tommygrano I came to the comments to say the same thing. Yes you have it right, easy had only 3 match’s, and any difficulty higher then that had more.
Better not be 3 matches on every difficulty or this mode is dead to me
@@CobraaReviews I don't see any reason why they would change that, pretty sure you're good man
3:24 I hope WWE 2K finally allows us to create LED barricades for customerinas.
I hope they can add records and title reigns and history into MyGM mode
Oh mate. Would be incredible
That would be awesome brother
@@3vil6in I hope they can add title reigns and history in Universe mode. Like basically new titles just for the sake of it cause after a while with holding the title for 600 days…
@VloggingwithCJTVseeing that Heel and Face change promos is back is awesome
All of these camera additions are a personal favorite! Anything to enhance the presentation, I’m all for. I just hope one day, they’ll end our suffering, and replace the announce team. It’s so tired right now.
I have a feeling the underground matches are a test for how the engine runs so many around the ring to eventually give us lumberjack matches next year and/or a bump to 10 players in the ring for War Games and the Rumble
13:24 I think they are doing it on Easy. The harder the difficulty you could add more matches and promo slots
11:47 it’s a nod to Punk saying he wanted to run NXT at some point in his career that’s why he’s there.
Terrific
@@AssembleShowI read that in Adam Sandler’s father’s voice. IYKYK 😂
This is the first time in a long time I've felt like 2k just had fun with it and just threw goofy shit in finally
so stats for wins losses, is it only for exhibition or all modes combined?
Great theory fr
i’m kind of a psycho but not psycho enough for universe mode, but i want this years gm mode to be a mix of universe and gm mode. i want total control like universe but limited to my brand. i also desperately want the royal rumble and mitb in gm mode. the rumble can just be like a place system where you can send a number of stars from each brand based on your placement the week of rumble and if a star from your brand wins you get a pretty large fan boost from it. mitb for simplicity, can just be one per brand cause you never really see the other brands so it doesn’t really matter
And elimination chamber, and wargames in gm mode.
I don’t think it’s MITB. Remember in a ladder match that isn’t for a title will always have a MITB briefcase hanging. I think they just showed a regular ladder match with no title on the line.
that'd be such a dick move, but sadly I think you're right..
looks like myGM and Universe will be a near carbon copy of 2k24...
Hopefully you can unlock the MyRise characters like Fanny, Slade, Justine & ect. I hated how they were locked to MyRise. It probably won't happen but I can dream.
Yes. They get the shaft, all the time.
@waynetech10 Facts.
I wanted Psycho Sally so bad.
@@justingarrett1675 Same.
Brooklyn was my favorite I loved playing as her I liked the call back to her in the lastest my rise
I was hoping she'd return
What’s got me excited is legends entrances doesn’t feel lazy anymore
I hope they give more legends proper mini trons instead of it just being the generic legends one.
Why? Do they have actual entrance videos now?
@@cmdpwrestlingI believe that some do looking at alandra blaze and Chyna entrances they seem to have entrance videos however Afa and sika do not but all I have seen so no longer have the ugly have baked blue legends tron it’s been a problem for me general for legends from 2k14 one thing I enjoy are entrances and hopefully this year it will be better
Would like to see 1st person camera work when Mr Fuji throws salt in your eyes. Kinda like in GTA when Trevor drinks too much or Franklin smokes too much.
I wish the developers cared as much about Universe mode as the players do
Lexis king and Shawn spears confirmed , don't know if you caught it but thats awesome
Seeing Oba in the game made my day
Still waiting for you to get the invite to these 2k events man !!
Yo fr! Bro been putting in work for years!!!
@ man and he’s good , cool chill dude not to over the top and knows his stuff
I was lucky enough to go to a community day last year so that was cool
@ man you should be a regular stay there man, your delivery and just the way you present yourself and your info is chill , if anyone deserves to be there it’s you man, with Chris Danger working shows you could easily be the new guy there every year !
Facts!!! The BEST wwe 2k content on the web.
Show intro pyro and commentary is so needed in universe mode it just makes it feel like a real show then just a exhibition match
We still have Sonya Deville in there “Pull her out”
Meanwhile Real Life WWE:
“WWE has chosen not to Renew Sonya Devilles contract”
Oh they pulled her out alright 😂
I think it's pretty cool to have the two night pay-per-view stuff. What I think would be really cool is if those days that didn't have pay-per-view you could do the smaller shows like heat or velocity. Or that would be pretty cool if you could do an episode of heat that leads into the pay-per-view. Like the good old days
My guess is we will get Chyna and Ivory from WrestleMania 17. But in My Rise. With intergender matches in the game, we could see your female created wrestler talk to someone about Chyna, which leads into this WM 17 match.
I hope CM Punk gets renamed "GM Punk" in My GM
It’s also hilarious they still have Sonya deville in the game when she just got released
Matt's the only streamer I'm excited to watch when it comes to WWE games and updates 🤙
I don't know about anyone else but I would love it if they would add an option for universe mode when you're editing the main shows like smackdown or whatever show you have you can set a default ring announcer, Like for example let's say i wanted to use a custom raw arena on 2K24 and I wanted samantha to be the default ring announcer for raw unfortunately you couldn't and you had to go in the match to change it to samantha
I absolutely love the amount of general managers to pick from in MyGM 🔥 also that it’s finally online
It’s unfortunate that one persistent problem will remain - if I do SharePlay on my PlayStation all the entrance musics will be missing. It’s a bummer because it doesn’t help convince someone to get the game when they see someone entering to a quiet arena.
7:12 I think that's why they added Underground Match, so they can test something similar to Lumberjack Match. And I think they will finally add Lumbejack/Lumberjill in the near future, maybe in the next game, cause that's what many people want for years (including me).
I feel the same way you do about myfaction persona card prices. I wouldn't mind grinding if the prices were lower. It sucks that I'll never get a complete roster. I like having all the unlockables and dlc. I just don't want to spend $100 - $130 just to have the alt attires that come with the other bundles or buying action figures for locker codes. I'm actually excited for a lot of things in 2k25. Love your videos my friend. Love your insight too.
Definitely looking forward to playing! The archives brawls will be fun
4:16 Piper Niven, Roxanne Perez, Nikkita Lyons, Finn Balor that's behind Nia tossing out Macho Man
I do believe CM Punk being a GM is a very sly reference to Collision being "his show". Lol
Oh I’d love that !
I heard somewhere that there was going to be a new Create-A-Nameplate function which would allow you to create custom nameplate animations similar to what we get on TV. One thing I would love to see added is a function that allows you to create a referee shirt. This would allow you to make more realistic custom shows if you can assign a shirt based on the show.
Hearing that Sonya Deville line was coincidental timing for sure 😬 (She was released from WWE today)
What! Really!!
Please give us more weapons and interactions with them. Put some body parts into the chair and jump on it, smash a body on ladders and steel stairs and see the ragdoll physic behind it, give us the thumbtacks on the mat and the hits with barbed wire will open cuts directly 😉
I would also prefer it to be able to go backstage like at the WWE games in the past. Leave the ring, go behind to the tunnels and locker rooms, go to the bar and training center, then to the parking place etc., more interactions with cars and weapons there…full brawl experience please 😎
Bit strange Jaida parker isn't on the Roster list but lola Vice is?
Possible dlc
lol they haven’t even released the full roster yet it said 300+ characters.Also Jacub Fatu is in the game and he literally just joined WWE a few months ago so if you think Jaida Parker isn’t in the game or will be DLC idk what to tell y’all game’s not even out yet and y’all complaining😂🙄💀
@@kingmillyyy Jacob Fatu debuted in June 2024. That was nearly eight months ago. Way more than just “a few months”.
@@discountmichaelchiklis lol no lie i forgot how much time flew it feels like he debuted a couple of months ago😂😅
@@kingmillyyy it's the biggest roster in 2k history
I heard there's even 12 legends at base including managers
0:48 Randy is starting to look just like his father and whilst not surprising it’s insane! Where has the time gone
“Any supernatural stuff” 9:36 bro literally walks through a portal what else do you need 😂😂😂
Don’t want it ! lol
@@AssembleShow I don’t mind it personally as long as I have fun and it’s not incredibly stupid then I’m all in
@@AssembleShow and I’ll still watch your stuff so I’m not too bothered 😂
In regards to MyGM I think the smaller match card was due to playing on easy as I can't imagine they have shrunk the cards which are already ridiculously small to begin with. Like roster sizes should be at least 20 but the game has it such a pain to manage that many.
In regards to MITB being in, it's not im pretty sure. Now it could be a crossbrand exclusive match but in the footage we just were looking at a 1v1 ladder match which I'm pretty sure used the briefcase in 2K24 also
The three match card in MyGM is only in Easy Mode. That was the case in 2K22, 2K23, 2K24.
Ain't no one talking about the copy and paste images from 2K24 implemented into 2K25.
I’m a universal typa guy. So once 2k25. I’m jumping into showcase. Complete it then do universe mode. N change the arenas to classic era from pass wwe games. Like OG raw from 02-05, OG SD 02-05 and change NXT to ECW brand.
Apparently with Community Creations this year, it's not gonna be entirely Cross-Gen. It's gonna be limited to Cross-Gen between PS5 and XSX, and then PS4, XB1, and PC are separate from the current gen consoles. It's dumb.
Universe mode has more potential when you opt to play a singular character. That was one of my favorite things but it wore out its welcome due to lack of promos or solid storylines.
The 3 matches/2 promos thing is based on difficulty settings. 2k24 allows 3 matches/2 promos too if you play on easy. Regular and hard have more matches and promo slots. So I imagine 2k25 will be the same way, but the trailer just used easy mode for the gameplay.
I can’t wait WWE 2K25 the bloodline edition
I wish there was a feature where superstars could retire and then you’d have to pluck out talent through scouting and other promotions. That would be pretty cool
Kurt angle should be a gm
I hope the first person view in the trailer is kind of a trial to see if people want it for gameplay? It'd be really cool to have a 1st person view honestly!
In regards to Universe, it's pretty clear the team doesn't care about the mode. The trailer proved that. We will know for sure though with how much they dedicate to Universe in an upcoming ringside report.
Also I'm pretty 2 night PLEs aren't actually in the game. Jinks mentioned about being able do PLEs on different nights so I think he was just saying now it's possible to do like a 2 night Mania but my guess is there won't actually be an option to do a show over 2 nights because I cannot imagine the rivalry system being able to handle it. Now I could be wrong but I feel like what we will be able do is have a PLE on a Saturday followed by another on a Sunday to recreate the feeling of a 2 night event.
Either way though the ability to have PLEs on different nights is definitely a cool edition, Taboo Tuesday anyone?
Take Two earning call on the 6th revealed a little bit, The Island will be online as that was mentioned in their investor call
the final boss impersonation lets me know assemble knows who santi is.
I hope there will not be any issues with the new game just like 2k24 had been
I 100% agree that a first person mode during entrances would be amazing. You'd really get to live out being a WWE wrestler
Potentially getting 6 person matches would be a game changer for GM mode.
In terms of CAW, I wish that we could do custom theme music for use offline.
Man, your content is always solid! Really enjoyed this video. Super excited for The Island and MyGM. MyGM is so close to being the perfect mode. I can’t wait to play this game!
Why was shane removed from the gm and no kurt?
Hopefully the promos for Universe mode are well thought out and you can make a brilliant storyline for each event.
I think they should start adding a couple of cut scenes to the Royal rumble for when you get eliminated, you can be normal or you can be like brock Lesnar and attack the next person coming down the ramp,
0:13 it’s very disappointing that they didn’t do much for universe mode. All because they didn’t make the mode they refuse to put resources into it which is petty.
How do you know they didn’t they saying this will be a game changer so who knows they might of
Ya Matt I feel they put this Bloodline Rules match in, especially tailored to that reason. It's easier for u to bring interferneces in quicker and easier. I juts also hope Mib is fixed?! It never worked right.
I hope/wish there could be unique run in animations for certain superstars, like Shield seth would come in through the crowd, or with Undertaker - You get the gong, lights out, and he's in the ring. The latter would be especially cool to do if an opponent is setting you up for a finisher, then just before they go for it, you hit the run in, gong, and taker can chokeslam them.
Option to go 5-player MyGM.
Option to Import your own logo on MyGM.
Option to import your own human on MyGM.
5-7man Stables.
5-7man Entrance.
5vs5 matches 😫😫
Spotted during Chyna's entrance: TITANTRON. It still has the W logo flashing around it which is a little annoying, but HOPEFULLY they can add them for others and we won't have Kurt Angle marching to the ring with a W logo turning around for a tron.
It's wild that Assemble doesn't get flown out to play test the game like so many others I especially feel the ones who cover the games every year should get the option
Damaging the LED boards on the barricade IS cool. But... I mostly use old-school custom arenas with plain barricades... Would've been nice to have the NXT barricades with plexiglass available in create an arena, though...
I'm so glad chain wrestling has returned.
Promos should make a massive difference to Universe, just breaking up match after match. Hopefully you can form/break up tag teams, turn face/heel in them
Creation suite, not expecting anything to change. Would love them to give us some new base arenas to edit, but not holding out any hope
I believe I saw an interview where the 3rd person camera is available for entrances
It absolutely is
i believe he was talking about 1st person entrances
Lack of mentioning universe mode in trailer means nothing much is new. Just calender fixes and promos. Which might not be that great, but is a welcomed edition. Also, I have a bad feeling we get some not so great news about the creation suit. I think it's because of the island. I hope I'm wrong.
In gm mode easy mode was only 3 matches and 2 promos. Extreme had 4 matches and 3 promos
I appreciate every video you make my guy thank you !🙃
thanks man!
I would love a made up my rise story that take place in the 90s or even the 80s with alot of retro unlockables
That would be so fun.
I would make my character the most 80s wrestler to ever 80!
@darkerarius thank you
I never care about a few outdated attires or arenas as much because I don’t mind at all downloading things from community creations so as long as the models are updated, that’s fine for me.
KOTR 93 arena I am pumped!
I hope the raw on Netflix stage has a buffering effect for the shows for more realism 😂
I think the GM mode slimming down is probably just for the 3 and 4 player modes. Cuts down on time so they’re a more reasonable time investment.
I like how they brought back finishers off the ladder!
I think customization will go a long way for my GM (and universe) there are too many to list but In the video you reference being okay with less match slots. For me I want more than the 4 match slots. That would be awesome to be able to adjust that outside of the difficulty. Adjusting the contracts is another one. Id never play universe mode if I could afford to have the roster I want in my GM.
Roman Reigns needs a new victory motion. I don't know if he had it since 2k16, but he definitely had it in 2k17.
Shawn spears up in the left corner against punk thats cool also you got one of your wishes we can now have PLEs on two nights now thats exciting
Speaking of dx I hope we get them with there music
Best WWE2k channel. Look forward to the coverage every year. Makes me hyped for the game!!
Thanks! Appreciate that!
2k24 GM Mode the number of matches depended on the difficulty setting. The lower difficulty settings only had the 3 matches and 2 promos I think
probably why I didn't realize it I never played on easy mode that explains it.
Why would you ever want to see something get removed? Sonya as a GM option isn't hurting anyone.
I’m going to buy on Day 1 the digital Deadman Edition!!! I already have a physical copy of WWE 2k24. Next year 2k24 will be delisted just like the previous installments.
I just hope Punk say’s “its clobberin time” during the entrance.
i have a theory that first person in showcase will be the exact same as first person in dragon ball sparking zero, something you can just turn on and off at the press of a button
I'm just happy that I saw Sol Ruca on the game roster during one of the up up down down early look streams. You just KNOW I'm stealing the Sol Snatcher! lol
Online gm mode is what I'm going to be hooked on lol might even change my entire channel to that 😂
That’s easy mode on GM when u raise the difficulty it increases the amount of matches
For the bloodline rules match are u able to chooses who runs in or is it random
i do like that they slimed it down because we dont have to worry about not having enough wrestlers
ive been wanting a lumber jack match.... Dom could carry a story where he runs from someone.
How about voice overs in or for the promos?
Since Shane McMahon isn’t in the game, they could make him a referee option form his time as a referee in 1989
What if when you plan your show, it starts as 1 hour (3 matches) and as you improve your fan base, you can gain more time (matches) from the network?
Hey @assemble great as always brother...i like all the info coming out so far. But id like to know more about this island mode, because I've played nba 2k's version "the city" i didn't like it much because its just too much stuff to do and time for me is limited. Also are all the match types from last year returning? Special Referee, Ambulance, Casket?
Pretty sure those match types are returning
Love ya assemble always quality videos
