The fact that they never recycled the showcase mode cutscenes for universe mode is crazy. They're motion captured so any character can do them. If you think it's too hard to have them in random matches, bring back promos. Now you have a reason to watch them bc you never know what classic WWE moment is getting added to your rivalry. Hell, do like WWE 12 and give people a reason to challenge certain stars. Maybe a match with Stone Cold unlocks the DX bus explosion cutscene or any Austin-Rock scene. Imagine following the Rumble winner in the last month before Mania. The feud with the champ is all stuff from the X-Seven build with a chance of "the bad ending" with one of the stars turning during the match.
I personally like the Austin one better, but the ones in 2K15 were really good. Seriously, none of the showcase modes that came after it even came close to those ones. They should really do future showcase modes like 15 and 16, not just random matches thrown together.
Christ, did you have a word count requirement for this one? Especially with the Big Head mode entry, it felt like that one went on for WAY longer than it needed to. Sometimes, less is more. I guess ya gotta get over that 10 minute mark somehow.

I'd say GM mode is overrated especially since it proved why Kenny Omega made the smart call and not put it in AEW: Fight Forever which is while yes it was requested by fans to come back those same fans who requested it to return soon complained about it when it came back in WWE2K23 stating that "it wasn't the same awesome mode they remembered from SVR 2006 through 2010 but a trainwreck."
The 2K games as a whole definitely feel like they only market presentation and features over gameplay, and this doesn’t sit right for some reason. While graphics and features are important, gameplay is the most important thing considering these are video games at the end of the day, but given how it’s 100% identical on every game, it’s really hard to truly engage with these games compared to the SVR series in my opinion. While that series had its own issues, at least every year felt different in terms of not only features but gameplay as well, hence its easier to differentiate these games compared to the 2K games for the most part. While not every game was perfect, it’s easy to distinguish 2006 to 2007 for example, 2010 to 2011, etc. Here’s hoping 2K can switch things up significantly and make this series better than it should be.🤞🙏
What are you talking about lol the svr games were the same thing every year lol and the games got worse every year at least with 2k we can tell the difference and they add in and fix some of the stuff thq and yuke sgot broke and greedy
@@nevermindgaming6848This is false on so many levels, The SVR games wasn't the same game every year at all They were different in many ways and Alec is right SVR 2006 and 2010 aren't the same gameplay wise or even visual wise an yet you really gonna say we can tell the difference with 2K when all those games are more identical in comparison? The irony Lmao That company lacks so much of the stuff that made the old wwe games unique they didn't "Fix" anything they actually broke it look at 2k20 for example at least all the SVR games actually worked🤣SVR had actual creative story modes like Season Mode/Road to Wrestlemania mode that had a lot of thought put into them, 2K has showcase that let's us play past rivalries so its not bad but however whenever 2K tries to make a made up storyline it usually ends up being cringe they can't create a good story to save their life which explains why they use Showcase so much and the GM mode in SVR had waaay more options too only thing 2K has over SVR to me is being able to roam backstage during a match but even that has its issues despite being in wide areas they never utilize it properly when it came to interacting with the environment its practically limited, In SVR during backstage brawls even during small places like GM offices they gave you so much freedom interacting with multiple objects in the area to slam the opponent into or just use as a weapon in general, Even when it comes to match types we had a diverse set of matches like Buried Alive, Championship scramble, Inferno along with many other unique match types that 2K never has, SVR had so much going for it that 2K still hasn't been able to surpass and i'm not saying All the SVRs were perfect because 2009 is arguably the weakest due to removing GM mode and not having a lot of legends as unlockables but the game gave RTWM, Inferno and Hot tags so i still like it despite the flaws but the point is every year SVR gave something special, i just can't see how 2K fixed anything when SVR had so much creativity that 2K tends to lack
@@chadgrimes252 too long didn't read you're relaying on pointless nostalgia also thq did the same thing 2k did leaving stuff broken and waiting for the next game to fix it thq got rid of gm mode which was never good and replaced it with boring my career they also locked gimmick matches behind rtwm. The rtwm stories were not creative and they got boring real fast which is why thq relay on creating showcase mode instead of coming up with og stuff
I actually enjoyed how 2K22 changed up the showcase mode it felt something fresh. And 2K23 GM mode was hella fun and way better than 2K22 GM Mode. It's actually my favourite mode in the game that's how good it was/is to me
I would flip 22&23 as the cena showcase was bit worse especially as the did not the narration doing the real footage which brought it down over reys and GMmode returned in 22 and had less then 23
Yea John's one was call that you got to play as his opponents but the lack of commentary during those moments just felt dead atleast do what they did with Rey's one
Okay ima have to disagree with ya on the promos for universe mode, i liked that you can use that feature to set up rivalries. I just wish they added more into it and they should bring it back for wwe2k24 universe mode
Say what you will about 2k16's MyCareer mode, at least it tried to be a career mode. 2k20 did not have a MyCareer mode. It was a glorified road to wrestlemania. How can you call it a "MyCareer" when you are essentially playing 2 characters and 1 of them is CONSTANTLY PUT DOWN AND BARELY WINS ANY IMPORTANT MATCHES. Like Trey was such a jobber that I'm surprised he won the world championship. Those reigns weren't even that long. OH TREY WINS THE ROYAL RUMBLE!?!?!? Who cares he retires before wrestlemania and then has a wrestlemania mix tag team match as his last match. Funniest part of it all is when the parents came, they looked more like the female CAW implying that Red and Trey are related for some reason. God I hated that MyCareer mode.
tbh i realy dont like 2k22 and 2k23 showcase at first because i am more of a simulation kind of guy and it annoyed me that i had to unlock certain characters
The buried alive match in the older game wasn’t accurate at all u u put them in a hole and bury them not in a casket then have someone dump dirt on it.
Nah nah 2K15 had different showcases which was amazing and it did not disappoint. Best thing about that game also if you're going to talk about showcase then you gotta talk about all of the 2K Showcases from every 2K game which you did not
It's about overhyped features the 2k showcase wouldn't be overhyped in every single one plus he was mentioning about the match types around the showcase

This is an awesome idea!
The hell? The only good thing about 15 were the showcases
And universe story collection
Probably didn't have anything else he could put in that spot lol
The xbox 360 version is way better!
That's ONLY if you didn't play the XBOX 360/PS3 versions.
@@8bitkid835That's true.
2k15 showcase was arguably the best one
And 2K20 was the best game in 2K history
@@XFG101 it’s not even close. No game is worse
@@Danial_Amirghahari it’s called sarcasm bud
Nah
2k15 had the best showcase in my opinion the only match that was in it that wasn’t in the base game was the casket match
3 stages of hell too
Showcase was my favorite part of that game
It was only in showcase mode tho

@@dwightyboy5324 Agree I had fun playing 2k15 & 16 showcase mode
How is 2k20 my career overrated if everyone doesn’t like it? I’d change it to the dlc was overrated since we got no new wrestlers
I personally love mygm, it does feel like it couldve used more work but so does every other mode on 2k23 imo
I completely forgot 2k19 had big head mode
Big head mode shouldn't b on here cause thats not to b taken seriously, more like a cheat than feature
For me it confirms 2k19
Was the best if thats all they have to nit pick
Keeping mine for ever
@@aceassn716Same here. I still enyoy 2k19 much more than the newer titles
yea he might aswell say he doesnt like fun
Creations wwe2k24 be able to create your own Backstage/lockroom/office interviews Backstage in universe mode
That'd be awesome!
I think we need a new referee counting animation
Especially for the one in 2k23 where the referee counts slower
@@BillFinger27We also need special guest referee back
@@BillFinger27yes!
Overrated or underrated... I just want a good update on Universe Mode, NOT a surface-level update.

Nah, 2k15 showcase mode was way better than 2k22 and 2k23, it had 2 and felt long plus the dlc ones
at least wwe 2k17 had the ability to do promos we don’t even have this option in 23 and 24
I would flip 22&23 as the cena showcase was bit worse especially as the did not the narration doing the real footage which brought it down over reys and GMmode returned in 22 and had less then 23
Yea John's one was call that you got to play as his opponents but the lack of commentary during those moments just felt dead atleast do what they did with Rey's one
Big head mode was pathetic, an insult of a "mode" I never used it
I was sooooo pissed at the Rey mysterio showcase mode Smfh literally skipped this year
I wish they brought back the 16 man tournament
Same and add a 32 man option with it that tournament matches can end in draws, leading to byes to the next round for others in the tournament.
Actually wwe2k15 have amazing charm like camera cuts which other game lacks a lot even 2k19 have less cuts
I liked the buzz, tre and Red storyline I don't care what anyone says... Also 15 showcases where awesome
The career mode in 2K19 was awesome!
Man, about the showcase, try to understand what he meant...
2014 rivalry mode was horrid
Honestly I'd love seeing some of these come back some day with some or major improvements
What were you honestly expecting from big head mode? Or was 2k19 so good that the only nitpick you could find was big head mode 7:52
Okay ima have to disagree with ya on the promos for universe mode, i liked that you can use that feature to set up rivalries.

For me it's a step in the right direction I want Road To Wrestlemania back though get rid of MyRise/My Career for it so it may just be me
2k24 create your own move/finishing move
16 is showcase, 50% of them were in 13
tbh i realy dont like 2k22 and 2k23 showcase at first because i am more of a simulation kind of guy and it annoyed me that i had to unlock certain characters
the 2k18 backstage was far better than these new ones
Showcase mode is an overrated feature in general and should be removed to focus on improving the rest of their game
Just no unless it's needed to bring back Road To Wrestlemania but those two can coexist together
Great video but the way you say narrative is grating as hell, it’s narr-ah-tive not narr-ay-tive.
I thought the same thing, how do you get the pronunciation of that word so wrong
My gm mode was never that good idk why everybody wanted it to come back
WWE 2k 2015 showcase was the best in that thing
Why does he say 'narratives' like that
The buried alive match in the older game wasn’t accurate at all u u put them in a hole and bury them not in a casket then have someone dump dirt on it.
I did some voice over for el generico and never heard it
Can you post it on your channel, would be nice to hear
Specifically I did all the crowd chants for the 2010 SmackDown versus raw

Trey & Red were the best part of wwe 2k20

Personally I was a fan of the MyCareer mode in 2K20, but the controls for that game ruin my replayability for it
Same I loved2k20 my career
damn, you must be one of the only ones who liked that career mode
15 and 16 was the bast in the series solely for showcase

I respect your opinion but I dont car- Im joking
I have 2k 22 and Yeah, I wish they added more
Put universe mode and gm mode together one massive part of the game 🎮 im 50/50 on this 😅
I'd hate that. I hate GM Mode!
0:55 lol
In 2k23 its more like the My Rise stories
2k15 was ruthless agression era type wasnt it???
