Personally Intros should be ALSO made custom.. like if you have a custom arena you can make a custom intro get it?
i have a idea for u
make wwe era mode with 80s 90s 00s and current same with nba era mode u add social media ages more wrestlers age on more there overall goes down like if wrestler is 45 there overall will tank a wrestler can announce there reirement ohh also u can make contacts add on to like 5 year deal it’s basically NBA my era i think this mode will kill it specially with 80s mode allready pre made u should make video into my idea i think this willl kill it like i said. they can put there own twitst on this i think adding ages contracts and social media will make the mode very fun i hope u see this oh i forgot adding what year u r in to make better i forgot aother also adding records
@@Clo_Vxx2Klove this idea custom intros should definitely be a thing by now The creativity is off the charts right now and it would just make the game pleasantly to view so why not
@@sosagino1 true as hell universe feels bland now adays
There’s no bigger waste of breath in gaming than us complaining about Universe mode for the 10th year in a row
You probably miss THQ, since they had the promos in, and kept track of everything to give.
Fifa fans complaining about Career mode are wasting even more energy needlessly, NGL
@@jaarondavis9895 promos were a fine feature for sure but there’s so much more that 2k doesn’t tap into. I do miss THQ tho 100%
We complained until we got CM Punk. We complained until we got GM mode back. We will complain for another 10 years if we must. 😂😂😂😂
@ I don’t know how much more complaining I got left bro 😂
Universe Mode should have triple threat or fatal fourway rivalry..
yup!
crazy how it hasn’t even been thought about yet but this is definitely a demand aswell !
3v3 rivalries too !
Been wanting Handicap Rivals much over due
@@Geminitae96 agree fully
All I need is promos, Intros, and create a story level of options of freedom to do in universe mode, do I think it will happen? Not in 2k24, doubt 2k25 but maybe 2k26 if we even make it that far
^^^this right here the fact that it’s been 10 years of 2k wrestling games being developed and not a single idea of Promos with actual voice lines were not put in the bag of Ideas is crazy I want to be able to start a promo first segment of the night and be able to choose my lines or end the show off with a promo and turn it into a brawl like how it would on TV it’s the little details that would make this game feel some immersive and fun
Facts bro, that’s all I need. They continue to show this mode lil to no love.
@@sosagino1voice lined promos would be almost impossible. There are way to many superstars in the game
Connacht team you pick too
@LuxeBabe22 no one said voiced promos. The old games had silent promos accompanied by subtitles of what it is that each superstar was saying. We just want that back
Cutscenes, promos, branching story options. Make it feel more like WWE TV basically.
And I want it to generate that variety itself without me needing to fiddle with the rivalry actions myself.
I feel like Universe Mode as a whole needs a rework in order to stay engaging. But knowing MyFaction being 2K’s main focus + the yearly deadlines, that’ll likely never happen.
I still think WWE 12 had the best universe mode with how hilariously unpredictable it can be 💀
WWE 12's Universe was legit man. I remember doing a Cena vs Orton feud, punted Cena like 3 times and put him on the shelf while winning the WWE title, about 6 months later Cena returned at the Rumble and won it, and then challenged Orton for the title at Mania winning it back.
Idk how they did it back then but it hasn't been topped since.
@ Yeah and there was a bunch of other crazy shenanigans like Brock Lesnar showing up after completing your first match (this was months before he officially resigned with the company) and Stone Cold randomly appearing at WM. There was even a cutscene where Orton just randomly RKO you literally out of no where.
Honestly hated how WWE 13-2K14 made the cutscenes extremely hard to trigger and even then they weren’t as crazy as 12’s (tho a good chunk of 12’s characters were unlockable via Universe Mode while 13’s characters were locked behind the Attitude Era showcase mode).
I’d love to see the Rivalry Actions recognize a wrestler’s alignment. A face should not jump out of the ring after a win, get a chair, and batter their opponent while they’re laying on the mat or leaving a match and getting stopped by someone else, and heels should not come to the rescue.
I wish creators didn't make frequent comments about getting rid of universe mode in a way that suggests 2K have asked creators they work with to prepare the ground for its removal.
For Universe Mode:
- More Rivalry slots
- Defend Championships on shows
- Bring back promo cutscenes
- Triple Threat/Fatal 4-way feuds
- Design storylines for feuds
- Include Tournament in PLE events
- Fix the Money in the bank cash-in option
You talking about defending titles on Raw/Smackdown instead of only PLE's? If so, I regularly get those whenever I play, sometimes to my detriment because I'll skip to the next show not knowing I had a title defense on the previous show, next thing I know I'm finding out I lost my championship 😭
@@acecashman1237i know thats so annoying on 2k19 i could skip shows and i would still know who the fuck is champion now i have to look at every show to find out if they made it a championship match or not
The weird thing about 2k is they know we aren't playing my faction so they are pushing my faction like a crazy person
The fact they need to really just work on universe mode and create an actual story for it would be the best options
They are WAYYYY too worried about MyFaction. They need to stop that.
@@PrayingFaith they only worried bc they made money... The issue is money in a game should come from the revenue of the product not MyFaction
They won’t listen until we stop buying the game
@@ShiestWorldBangers Exactly.
That's the bad thing about yearly releases and companies with shareholders. They stifle creativity from talented people. Hopefully, with the litany of wrestling games coming out in the near future. They're forced to compete for market share, which will make them rethink how they've treated the games.
Really dont understand why they got rid of the Cash In button on the pause menu. The excitement I'd get from finally pressing that button was so good, not to mention now we have to play through a whole match just hoping that the game will work and cash in when you want it to
I would like them to bring back in the Draft (yes I know it’s in MyGM) and it to be randomized like back in the old games. That was one of my favorite parts about Universe Mode
W Idea I MISS THE DRAFT it’s like it’s non existent in this side of the game but it doesn’t make quite sense cause it’s advertised as your own sandbox but you can’t even do your own draft ? LOL Get outta hereee
That dude talking about the highlight reel/recap made me think of a cool feature that could be added for PLE’s : as you click on a rivalry match they could play a lil highlight reel of the rivalry and the previous matches between the two rivals prior to the ple match, kinda like what we have irl with the package promo before the ple match
I know WWE games aren't like Madden or NBA2K where you have the ability to customize and create different rosters, but man it would be so fun if we were able to create separate rosters and import them into Universe Mode. Mix the in game superstars with custom superstars and create whatever roster of talent you want. This is where having a blank template works so well, if you import a custom roster of the Attitude Era that has WWE and WCW, or WWE, WCW and ECW talent then it makes it easier to set your universe mode up for that era.
Idk why this isn’t a thing when it is available in any other 2k sports game 🤦🏽♂️ it’s like the 2k devs are all sharing brain cells at this point
Franchise mode needs to go back to like Smackdown vs Raw 2010 I believe. Had GM in with franchise and bring back create move.
You know what I would love? NBA 2K had or perhaps still has the halftime and post game interviews. I remember reading years ago that they integrated a way for the players to sound seamless in those interviews because they used REAL audio from the players in which they mixed together with other interviews from said players. Imagine doing this with each or most wrestlers? It's the same company. Also, in NBA 2K the announcers will mention the standings and other games ongoing. Why not have the announcers mention what happened throughout the event and perhaps who leads in a particular tournament? Or who the participants are in a particular tournament? So many opportunities and 2K has no excuse since they have used this in past games.
Yk I agree with you heavily on that part with you talking about on how WWE universe mode could be presentable just like how it currently is with the Real Product and that would make it look and feel more exciting and I would rather prefer that than just the show opening and it jumping us straight to the universe mode menu 😅
I know 2k25 universe mode won't be great, but here is some 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
Let me know any ideas I missed.
5 and 10 are really good ideas man.
I would add cashing in on a PLE
as a solo player, i'd love more features that let you WORK a match as opposed to just winning or losing. make spots easier to pull off and more robust. i know this will never happen but what if we had a "blading" feature where you could make sure you or your opponent bled when you wanted it to happen. we don't need to see the person blading. that's just what'd be happening IRL. i'd love more roleplaying features in general. that'd be great.
I would love to be able to cut promos and have more of a story-mode type option where we can make our own decisions and free-roam backstage like in Here Comes The Pain. I would also love to see the draft mode return.
We always talk about how 2k can make universe mode better and they never do universe mode hasn’t been good since 2011-2014
@@JxEsco 19 was smooth tho
Everything you said is true. One of my issues with the game is war games. It’s 5v5. Not 4v4. If they could make it 5v5, that would be so awesome.
Tell me where in the game do u see a 10 man match 💀💀. Obviously it wouldn't work if they have more then 8 players in the ring
@ I never said there was a 10 men match. If it had a 10 men match, than I wouldn’t be asking for it.💀💀💀
@@mannymoney1443🤦🏽♂️ comprehension is lacking hard for you buddy
UM is my all time favorite thing to play. When I was a kid playing world tour I would have a notebook with my division rankings written in pencil. Currently i have every 2K installed going all the way back to WWE12 and I jump back and forth between games to make edits and have consistency. Plus ever since 2K17 I use all 3 save files every year for Classic, Attitude, and Modern Eras. So that’s like 26 UM saves i spend my downtime curating.
Thanks for keeping this topic going. In the past I was getting the impression you were not a fan of the mode at all and I’ve been stressing that they’ll get rid of it one day. Loving all the ideas put forth here.
Been a problem for decade even tho it’s their most playable mode smh
big time
It's been a problem since the 2k20 disaster. It used to work properly before.
@ dude I’ve been playing since 2016 its always been broken
2K being 2K if it’s anything catering to the fans oh you can bet it’s water under the bridge they don’t care about us like how THQ did they don’t take hours and weeks to get the simple but important lil details of wrestling like we used to and I’m not trying to be a
Yukes dicksucker but they were obviously and always the better games💯
Look - I'm not going to sit here and say Universe Mode doesn't need improvements, because it does. But this year, I think it's the best it's been in a while. The fact that I can choose which cutscenes and who is in those cutscenes, whether there's a rivalry or not, is so helpful. It helps get things so much more immersive. They need to have a tutorial though, because there's a lot that people don't know what they can do with the mode. It's the only reason why I am still playing the game is due to Universe mode.
I'd like to see more random stable entrance motions, or the ability to create a custom stable entrance.
What would make it even better is to add Promo/cutscene attire to CAWs. So CAWs should have in-ring, entrance, and cutscene attires.
my 2 cents: honestly universe mode should be the #1 priority & selling point. they probably should completely overhaul it given how broken it always is. i must admit it always took me a long time setting everything up for my late 90s WWF vs WCW universe with created wrestlers & sound editor & then it always feels so underwhelming and streamlined (cant even use run-in paybacks like wtf). instead it should feel like a real coherent show with surprises full of cutscenes/promos/backstage segments/stable beatdowns/heel-face turns/new stables organically forming/betraying valets/cash ins/stolen championship belts/surprising match stipulations & #1 contender announcements/mysterious tag team partners/masked wrestlers revealing themselves after blindsiding the current champ/working payback run-ins from stable mates/promos of wrestlers impersonating other stables/camera cuts seeing members of the roster arriving in a limo, preparing in the locker room or hanging out with their stable mates etc. all in and between matches i dont want to be a booker micromanaging everything there are better games for this (tew, pws) after the first setup i just want to play and get surprised. make a roster category for staff roles that are used as interviewers & announcers in cutscenes. get rid of the streamlined rivalry system and just organically bombard us with suprising amazing cutscenes as much as possible. also improve manager gameplay with more interactions. at least give managers a finisher bar too. oh also improve gameplay. i dont really like the ultimate fighting type dodging it is ridiculous for a wrestling game. bring back chain wrestling, more limb targeting options and new match types maybe i quit & buried alive & dumpster match. make weapon shots mean something knock them out for longer. also fix in ring movement for example moving around the ring in a hell in a cell match is super weird. oh and ofc give pc players no caw & image slot caps & fix your damn servers. oh and get rid of that pay to win stupid card collecting myfaction game mode in favor of a really awesome new groundbreaking bar setting universe mode
Also yeah, great point. You gotta write down and document EVERYTHING yourself because if you want a really busy and intricate feud, that last months if not years. You gotta document it all yourself otherwise you’ll easily lose where you were
Extremely good video with a bunch of suggestions that I never even considered but would 1000% improve Universe mode for the better. Its extremely counterintuitive that 2k would release these character packs every few months but not fully invest into the main mode that keeps fans playing until the next game. 2k needs to be spammed with this video.
I gave 2k24 a go this year, my first wwe game in nearly 10 years and I used to love universe mode, and I really hoped in all that time since I last played wwe13 it would be so much deeper and more interesting, but nope, I got bored even quicker than before.
No intros and pyro sucks…the limitations around the number of rivalries you can have, the number of people within them rivalries suck. I tried creating my own triple threat rivalry adding and removing certain wrestlers into cut scenes from week to week but it doesn’t feel natural or rewarding, it feels forced.
The lack of promos also sucks, it’s hard feeling like a feud is building when it’s just matches all the time.
And finally, the glitches, I dunno if these have been fixed. But ladder matches take forever as wrestlers don’t even go for the briefcase. The MITB cash in last time I tried it didn’t work.
With current wwe being more cinematic, intricate and epic than ever, the game has to keep up. More cutscenes are needed. Returns, heel turns, cliffhangers, etc.
It’s not a clear reflection of real life wwe, it’s just a match simulator, which for someone who loved universe mode as a kid, I came back, gave it a chance, got bored after maybe a month, tried going back a few weeks ago, lasted a week before I got bored again. Such a shame, this mode has fallen so far behind the real life wwe product
I like the points of promos ... one of the items that should also be on effect when it comes to things like promos is segments converting into promos. It would also be cool to get a rivalry action where the match is interrupted by a backstage fight of some kind.
because everyone keeps buying the same game with gfx updates and are satisfied, and then a few weeks in start complaining about the same shit you complained about last year yet you still bought the game! you are all insane by definition!!!!
I agree, the game will never change if people keep perpetuating the cycle. It needs to be boycott one time and I guarantee 2K would rebrand on a dime, they probably even have it on the table. Just waiting for the most opportune moment until they bleed 2K dry.
It’s even more insane people will collectively shit on games like Avengers and Suicide Squad that are clearly cash grabs. But won’t re-evaluate buying the same game annually with COD and 2K.
One of my fav tools to play universe currently is going into Journey of Wrestling and booking through that. Then watching the matches
They need to combine universe and Gm mode
Ehh I feel like until GM Mode itself gets fixed up and back running like the glory days of SvR then we can talk about either one being mashed together 🙏🏽
Agree.
It could be combined but GM mode is a strategy game. UM is all about creative freedom. It should be separate in my opinion. But if they just gave GM mode all the full customization controls that UM has it could work as a free play mode
No they don't
I agree
They should basically just bring back the season modes from Shut Your Mouth and Here Comes the Pain. Everything everyone wants in Universe, is basically what’s in the old season modes.
All they would need to do is let us edit the PPVs , shows, and rosters.
Lmaoo Vinny Mac appearance is hilarious 😂😂😂 Had to pause cause I thought I was tweaking but my childhood could never forget 😅
The rivalry action menu needs to go. I miss suprises, stories, playing matches to see what would happen, promos etc. I feel like tag teams and factions are for nothing also. PLE's are pointless because there isnt any depth segments you can book. You also cant even cash in at PLE.
Absolutely not. If you want a surprise, don't engage with the menu. If you set your rivalries and just laugh the match, it still functions exactly as it did prior to the menu.
Don't rip control from the rest of us
@ I feel like story designer should come back and be that mode that has like the actions for people to set for that sandbox aspect. WWE 12's universe booking was great at suprises. I wont lie, I take my stance back on the rivalry actions for now but if story designer comes back we need that suprise aspect back in universe mode. I thought we'd get it when they said they merged the engine with Myrise's engine but I was sadly mistaken
@AnthonyKelly_2020 I don't want surprised while trying to tell my own stories
Fair point we play our universe modes differently. I tried to tell my own stories but I end up giving up and just play it for the matches alone due to how much depth it lacks. I just want so much more for this mode and I know 2K can do it as seen in NBA, but the fact they play in our faces with myfaction while doing very little with this mode is super infuriating
it’s honestly ridiculous on having the MITB in this game just off the fact it’s So Useless like playing 2on2 or 3v3 with any Tag Team cause they don’t even know how to do Tag Team Wrestling Correctly😂🤦🏾♂️hate how I can’t start the show off with a Promo or even end the show with a Return 💯a lot of things 2k can capture on that THQ didn’t but they choose not because of MONEY
I think a Universe Mode suite is a good idea, you could see rivalry actions like the create a moveset where its just generic models going over what it would look like. You could do this for show intros and recaps too. Have a setting for hot rivalries where before the match they show a cutscene based on what generic cutscene you chose for the rivalry to play before their match. Makes it feel more like it does on TV and adds to matches even if its not for a title.
Injury animations and how long that wrestler is out for effecting status
I want expanded stable options. Particularly the ability to add entrances for specific team combos and mixed tag arrangements.
I would like a create a scene so we can piece together own stories from week to week then just apply superstars and certain results go certain archs. So the results of the story are somewhat controlled but still slightly random. It was like when you figure out which stories you get in No Mercy depending on the results of your match
This video really spoke to me & bundled up all the frustrations I have with the game outside of the core gameplay mechanics.
I’d be fine if they took universe mode out for a year and completely rebuilt it from the ground up for 26. Just abandon that legacy code. Take notes from NBA 2K MyNBA.
If I don’t see any major overhaul from this, chain wrestling and fighting stances gone, I’ll be done with the games.
I don’t care about Showcase, I don’t care about Online, I don’t care about MyFaction, I don’t care about MyCareer and I don’t care about what new wrestlers they add.
IF THEY DON’T FIX UNIVERSE MODE I’M DONE.
Sad thing is 2K doesn’t listen and none of this will happen. I want all of this to happen. Only IF they listen to us.
I feel that when the game is exclusive to PS5 or Xbox Series X/S then there will be a huge improvement on Universe mode.
They should also add more to superstar mode (If im playing couch co op with 3 or 4 friends) We should be able to choose between 4 to 6 superstars to ensure they are booked in depth stories instead of only being able to choose one person. That way everyone is booked and busy and only rarely miss multiple shows. If im playing with about 4 people, odds are 2 will get booked weekly while 2 get booked every 4 to 5 shows and cant get any momentum.
One of the much needed and anticipated feature is to have at least 10 superstars in the ring at the same time especially when next-gen consoles are around. Of course the cutscenes in showcase mode just like in previous games from THQ/Yukes.
Appreciate all the attention you give to Universe mode. It’s the only reason I buy the game every year. I’m not very optimistic for change since it can’t be monetized like MyFaction and given 2k’s history, but your videos give me hope!
If they can't fix it....give us Story Mode. Or incorporate Universe with MyGM. Bring back Promos, Outshines, Show Intros. Also if you can't fix it, give us Create a Show/PLE where we can make a number of matches, and play them.
Said it before and I'll say it again. One of the most helpful quality of life changes they could make which would be next to no effort to code, is the ability to create category lists on the superstar select. Sometimes when I jump into Play Mode, I don't know that I definitely want to do a Cody vs Roman match, I just know I want to play something set in WCW for example. So I want to be able to go to a custom list of all the WCW superstars I have in the game. I don't want to have to scroll through a hundred NXT stars or alternate versions of John Cena.
I get the push MyFaction because the opportunity to upsell card packs etc.
A good solution, I think, is just implement Purchasable items to upgrade the Universe Mode experience.
Obviously, there will be some backlash for adding Paywalls to the feature, but I could live with throwing some money at stuff in Universe Mode if it meant the Mode would be getting more attention.
Add an option to watch backstage interviews and cutscenes that then go into the next match so we can watch shows smoothly and add more story and exploration
i agree what everybody said in vid. They need too add rest of name side plates to the all titles.. It don't make any sense when U.S. or intercontinental title has side plates n they don't show your side plates you made or even superstars who have them.
All I know is that Universe Mode needs major improvements in the next game I won't accept small improvements unless 2K is doing a major overhaul of the mode
CHAMPION CUSTOM ENTRANCES! When you import your CAW into universe, the announcers mention your time during then. All stats and everything just moved there would be so immersive. Almost like the story keeps going, but your own way now!
Even if we can't have a create a story mode, we could have a feature like create a promo in the CAW suite sort of like creating a move set. You can type in different promos for various different scenarios so when those conditions are met in universe mode, it'll trigger one of those promos you created for that specific CAW. It avoids generic promos that wouldn't fit someone like Cody Rhodes or Rock which have more charismatic promos.
online universe mode would be a game changer imagine teaming up with your friends with created characters or bringing back og tag teams for a run then switching to your own separate rivalry spectating your friend waiting for your match they got fix servers for that tho
I also which they would show which shows each Superstar is assigned to. For example, when you are editing the Raw roster, it will show icons on the superstar that shows which shows they are already assigned to.
I know it's a major reach, but ever since story creator. I've always wanted universe integration. Imagine being able to set up your own stories as templates or being able to download other people's stories, then just load them into universe mode so that you could have unlimited possibilities. I think it would help freshen up rivalries if you had different people creating different kinds of crazy scenarios. You could have both generic and character specific.
I can't stand the way the rivalry system has worked for Universe Mode all these years. If I have a rivalry between 2 superstars and let the game book the shows, it will put them in 1 on 1 matches every week until the rivalry is over. This isn't and hasn't been the case for a majority of rivalries in real life WWE. Rivalries should build up over the course of 4 weeks with the pay off being at the PPV. Sure, they may get physical from time to time engaging in brawls, but a lot of the rivalries consist of cutting promos on one another or backstage segments. The payoff is the face finally getting their hands on the heel at the PPV. You're not going to see Cody Rhodes wrestling Kevin Owens in a match every Friday night and then having another match at the PPV. That's just lousy booking leading to a PPV. 2K isn't going to listen to us when it comes to universe mode so what does it really matter what we think?
The match booking I definitely understand, it’d be nice if their rivalries entailed other contenders, past rivals, or other champions to shake things up.
But the match booking doesn’t bother me too much. I rarely get a clean 1 on 1 between rivals until the PVP. They usually interfere until then.
Otherwise I actually enjoy when they do match up normally. As the challenger I usually let the rival get counted out, DQ myself, or get my ass beat for 3 weeks straight and finally pull a win on the PVP which makes the payoff even better.
Factions should actually do something like interrupt match. Congratulate you when you win. Etc
The option to have Money In The Bank Qualifying matches along with being able to change the participants and having the universe ai automatically put the winners in the ppv match then promo packages, money in the bank summits, etc
Oh yeah, and they need to give us more rivalry slots. They should give us the option for at least 6 to 8 feuds.
The going back and looking thing, you can do that in the news tab, at least to some extent
There needs to be an overhaul for superstar mode in universe mode. I played it that way and got repeated empty matches over and over. I set feuds that just literally never happened. It'd be great if it felt like an extension of my career like in the older smackdown games.
I always believe that Universe Mode was supposed to be an free sandbox type of GM Mode, If they combined Universe Mode with Modern GM Mode so have Universe Mode but have the options to switch on/off drafts, budgets, morale it would be better combined the two being split.
A highlight reel before the PLE rivalry matches of clips made from cutscenes should be sooo easy for them to make happen!
We need SOME backstage cutscenes like promos, assaults, brawls, confrontation and little talks to make the roster feel alive
A completely wild idea but what if like nba2k where u can go around with your myplayer meet up wit homies to go play a game.. u have your wrestler in some type of city and there is different arenas that have different types of match set ups with season rewards unlockables and what not
Run ins should be a thing in universe mode just like play mode. I want to see a nice rivalry come to a head, ONLY TO HAVE an unexpected wrestler in that brand to interfere and set up a potential new rivalry...
OR have the run in payback work in universe mode as well. Id love to see one half of a tag team interfere to help his buddy out against his rival.
I know im late to this but i hope you read it. I've said this for years I would like something similar to universe mode where you make take control of only a promotion and then you get to pick your roster, other online players can join your show as a wrestler or have their own caw join your show and each week the game (if you chose to just be a wrestler also and join a premade promotion) will have you and them in story suggestions that you get to choose between as they work their way up to being your #1 guy (or fighting you for it) Think Madden online Franchise mode or NBA 2k online franchise mode, mixed with GM mode mixed with, Fire Pro wrestling. You would feel like you were actually in a real promotion or running one. Add in the championships of your choosing or creation and done.
My biggest gripe is Tag Teams. I like to make my own shows. Most recent I had one show be just legends and old wrestlers but just the guys. Then another show with just women from old and new. Then they combine at PPVs. I will have set teams but they will havve teammates tagging with random people even if they have a tag title. So annoying to have to tweak every shows line up.
Something I hardly ever see talked about in depth is MITB. I wish it was as simple as it used to be. Just having a custom briefcase, and selecting whatever championship match, and just choosing whether to cash in before, in the middle, or after the match. It just needs to be that simple. There shouldn’t matter if there’s a rivalry match in front of it, or if the championship match is a rivalry match, etc.
good call on the area walk in! it only needs to work for people in the top two or three rivalries or for champs. i know that it could lead to a slippery slope, but they should be able to use A.I . voiceovers for promos. the script wouldn't change, so how difficult would it be to basically have a screen reader ai voice for all or most superstars?!? FOr people wanting PPV or PLE mode, I dont think it should be much to ask. it would take up some memory but just like the # of slots for CAW, title, arenas, matches there should be 12-24 slots to where you can save up to a year or two worth of ples or a mix for different promotions. have the same max # of matches like universe and be able to save the match ups and customize them just like on n64 games back in the day.
We’re allegedly in the next generation of gaming. 2K has the opportunity to do the boost thing in the world by giving us promos and cutscenes to mask any of the loading screens in universe mode. Instead of seeing a still loading screen between matches we can get a promo from one of the wrestlers on our roster or a cutscene where the Champion arrives at the arena 2 matches before the main even. Then another one when he interacts with a superstar backstage the match before the main event. Then we get the cutscene where the champion looks at the camera gets the crowd hyped and we get a one take of the champion walking out from the back to the main stage to start the match. Just a way to make it more interactive.
The cash in cut scenes need to be addressed for the match up screens.
If you choose any of the cash in triple threat options. They show the mitb holder on the match up screen while the match is loading. Leaving no surprise for viewers who watch console streamers
So many good points here. I would love to see Universe mode get a much-needed overall.
They could make it similar to my gm mode. Where u know how much money is made and how many fans watched, star rating, rival rating, what's boring to the fans etc. The only difference is that it's still universe mode example: all that stuff exist but u don't have money and fan management just fan management in a sense how they react to the show and maybe commentator different because how they feel. Almost like a placebo to making it matter in a sense. U don't have to make fans react good or compete with other shows but u can just so u can have a reason to try on universe mode giving yourself a goal. Whether u want to make the most fans/money possible. Or trophy hunters have a reason to do it. Or if it's just so u can make the worst show possible. Or see if u can run a themed universe (like if u wanted a attitude era universe) to see if u can succeed at it. And if u don't care about any of that stuff there a option to turn it off and have complete sandbox for those ppl or simply ignore those things and treat like a complete sandbox anyway.
If they gonna keep universe mode as is, they should at least add ability to put in cut scenes in GM mode.
Freaking myfaction creates problems for other game modes but then myfaction glitched. Got 2 wins in 5 minute iron man w CMP vs Big E n week 24 & game said tie, although Big E had no pins or submissions.
How cool would it be in Exhibition to do #1 Contendership match, then once the match concludes you get a screen asking if you want to play the title match now? If you say yes it takes you to the match up screen already set up just allowing you to change match type, change arenas e.c.t. If you say 'No' or 'Play Later' it saves that match into a list of championship matches pending.
Then from the main menu you can access the list at any time, select the match and it automatically takes you to the match up screen with the match already set up but still allowing you to make appropriate changes again like, match type, arena e.c.t. I dunno just an idea.....
Just seen you talked about that. Thank you. I agree with you 100%
All the ideas are great.Just one problem.All the suggestions requires 2k to actually do some work.i do not know how we are on ps5 and we had better games with ps3
I want to see the King of the Ring PPV to come back. They took it out one year and brought it back the next year, because people demanded it. Then the next year after that, they removed it again and it's never been back.
I want the option to make 8 man elimination matches, so I can do old school Survival Series matches.
All great Ideas and I hope 2k see this and takes them into consideration but it's highly unlikely they will do everything but I hope they do because those ideas will make the game better
Make Universe Mode into a story Designer Mode with promos, more cutscenes, love romances, mad more. We need a story designer because it can revamp the Universe Mode and we can have more fun with the mode
To make a “contract signing” in my universe, I have a custom special guest referee submission match and have my Nick Aldis or Adam Pierce as the ref and have the two opponents beat each other up on a 5 minute time limit
Superstar mode from universe needs to be revamped. It has great potential to be a “season mode”, but it is buggy. If you’re in a rivalry, you will face your rival every single week.
Something that i think should change..or maybe be moved is that when you're playing universe mode and you do rivalry match...it shows you two possible outcomes as far as cutscenes during this match. It takes away all of the surprise elements of the universe mode. Instead, use those rivalry options for create a story
But then for universe mode,.we need a ton more of cutscenes but thats the obvious stuff. They should add options that allow you to decide how spontaneous your universe mode will be...how much does it goes off script and how random are things like tag team formations, breakups and attacks...maybe the same way there's a match table there can be a universe table? Also, the superstar's allies and enemies definitely need to play a bigger role
i know this isnt universe mode but id also like to be able to unlock myrise characters through progressing through the story again. nobody plays myfaction or buys the cards. thats evident enough with ppl uploading myfaction models to cc
Personally I would love to have show intros and the ability to pick a theme song for your show again! But mainly fix bugging issues. I never really had many issues with universe in the past but this year ive been having matches dissappear from the card if I come back in to finish a show already started and even issues with matchs. Like I had a triple threat where ref was counting out and I got DQed even tho those weren't the match rules
They need to put the draft in the universe mode like live action and attacks from backstage promos when they're talking coming out and new rivals like that in the universe mode together with the draft
The BIGGEST problem for me is that rivalries at PLE are completely worthless because the options are limited to "fall in rankings", "injure opponent", "loser leaves" or "continue rivalry"
Why can't the have the same options we have in the weekly shows
Not sure if anyone mentioned it but “next match” option needs to return. It makes universe feel different than just doing an exhibition match.
With the rumor of them renaming the game SVR I think it could mean that they have rebuilt universe from the ground up and are waiting to launch it for that. I feel that would make sense while universes mode hasn’t gotten a significant update since the series returned
Why don't I have all these cutscenes? I have three or four cutscenes in a circle. An attack after a match, a refusal to shake hands, or a fight in which the referee is knocked out. Did I set up the game wrong somehow?
The crowd needs to be more live in the games
Add back the draft, add in triple threat/stable rivalries, and put an option in so that I can make it so AI actions like ambushes and stuff are a surprise
Universe mode should be a priority for them aside from the Showcase node in my rise I'm pretty sure most people play universe mode because of the freedom that is there sure there's an argument for GM mode but you're still restricted somewhat
I would LOVE to be able to import custom tag teams from exhibition. I hate having to set all of them up in both modes and then again every time I want to wipe my universe. It would make the set-up soooooo much faster.
It’s so funny how when u edit a show on universe mode you can edit what locations the show can be at but the game never shows you what locations your at
