Features We Need To See In WWE 2K25

In this video, Takes details what 2K need to do to improve the WWE 2K franchise.

[@f7or1n]

What i want the most is ragdoll physics and breaking the commentary table with simple moves like in 2k14 and 15

[@JaysGamingSpot]

Road to wrestlemania would be so goated, they need to add it now

[@Money_1188]

It's a shame they wouldn't do it

[@lucascrosby439]

id want to see the road to wrestler with all wrestlers to choose from and have the option to use a caw!

[@michaelfrazier629]

They needa get rid of the current submission system they have. You can literally be whooping someone nonstop and they just hit 1 finisher and spam submissions and the match ends. Its heavily unfair

[@DonDeLem]

2K18 analog system was the best I've seen. Red body part still gets a disadvantage but any decent player can easily fight back, and it felt very realistic. AIs weren't instantly tapping out from the Walls of Jericho and I really felt like it was a real match ending.

[@dallaspalmerton5725]

I was a fan of the crowd adjustment feature in 2k19. it was cool to have partially full venues as it gave them a real indy feel

[@Money_1188]

-Remove the guessing game reversal system and back the 2k14 or 2k19 reversal system -Take out the stun meter it isn't balanced like the one time I should get stuned is when hit with a finisher or put through a table. -Bring back weapon physics -Remove the dodging system

[@Daniel-Rain-YT]

The dodging system is fine, the stun system is the main problem from my experience, also the less advanced grappling, they dumbed down grapples a lot, WWE 2K19 is still the best one.

[@Money_1188]

@Daniel-Rain-YT I'm sorry but the Dodge system is ass you don't see Cody Rhodes or Seth Rollins bobbing and weaving like Mike Tyson. The game doesn't even feel like a wrestling game, it's Fight Night or UFC with wrestlers. The stun meter needs to go tho like it's broken and not balanced at all ngl.

[@Daniel-Rain-YT]

@@Money_1188 I thought the same thing initially but then you see wrestlers actually dodging in real life and... yes... they do dodge sometimes irl so it's fine for it to be in the game, maybe they can make it a "payback" tho, what do you think? doing this would prevent chars like Omos/Big Show to being capable of dodging lol.

[@Money_1188]

@Daniel-Rain-YT Nobody dodges like that tho, this isn't Fight Night either make it realistic or remove it.

[@Money_1188]

@Daniel-Rain-YT I say make it like Fight Forever now I know that sounds crazy but it made sense in Fight Forever. Cruiserweight had rolls for dodges, and heavyweights or light heavyweights have side steps for dodges. I don't think super heavyweights had dodges, but I could be wrong.

[@madjodnto]

I wouldn’t mind showcase if it added commentary, a different objective system, entrances, and I hope they make it another multi wrestler showcase vs it being focused on one superstar honestly.

[@phantasmwolvez4095]

A Better Improved Weapon System as well as Interactive Freedom especially in backstage and crowd fights

[@LandonB78]

The best way to get a game to change their ways is to stop buying it. It's like Madden in the sense that you can be pissed all you want, but as long as you buy the game every year and they get their money, they don't give a damn.

[@Money_1188]

The 2k meat riders and 2k nextmakers won't allow that

[@dorrian033]

Backstage needs to be better with new weapons backstage as well and and bring back OMG moments In Myrise your character needs to start in the developmental and work his her way up the ladder Create a wrestler needs to add hair that can be in a ponytail or you can have it down and have more attires to your superstar Create a finisher needs to return Create a Wrestlemania moment Barricade springboard moves

[@MCMcThriller]

Also, Universe Mode could benefit from having some MyGm integrations. If Universe Mode is essentially the "sandbox" mode for creating your own WWE show, then by that definition we should be able to do things like pick the city the show is in, choose if this show is promoting an upcoming show (or maybe have it done by default with graphics on the tron saying something like "Summerslam 1 week away" and if you change that SummerSlam PLE on the calendar to something else, whatever logo used in Create a show will be the logo shown the on tron), schedule feuds and storylines and select how long they run and where they end apart from just making it medium or intense, hyping returns, going the extra mile with feuds in the sense that if I put Randy Orton and Sami Zayn in a feud together and their final match is a title match but someone like Gunther interferes and the feud between Randy and Sami is over, I should be able to have the AI recognize that Gunther ignited a new feud interfering the match. Branching Feuds could be the name of it. I think about the times during the Attitude Era where HHH vs The Rock is the main feud but HHH is part of DX who have X-Pac and Road Dogg the tag team champions but they interfered in the match and all it all comes to a head in a 6 man tag team match where the Rock ends up getting the people DX is feuding with. Little stuff like this would make Universe Mode soooooooo much more enjoyable

[@StayInYourPlace]

& for the love of all that's holy,they need to put show intros back in the game and also put ALL ARENAS VIDEOS IN THE GAME and stop giving us shows and leaving certain things put. I hate when I create an arena and can't use the arenas videos for the show because 2k decided to not finish the creation stiff and leave things out smh.

[@MCMcThriller]

@@StayInYourPlace thiiiiiis. Or locking use of certain arenas only to exhibition and not Universe

[@StayInYourPlace]

@MCMcThriller let.me ask.. do you have same issue where you're trying to counter a move but the game gets you in animations where you pull a punch even though it's not what you're trying to do and it cost matches sometime or hiw about does the game turn your reversals off during certain parts of the match?

[@MCMcThriller]

@@StayInYourPlace yeah man! Definitely been having that issue lately. These more recent updates have only been hurting the game

[@ninjadefeu]

I personally hate two/three things in the recent wwe 2k games. - The ring is so small compared to real life and other games. But i mean REALLY small ! - I hate the grappling system, that it requires two buttons to do a grapple move. I prefer the old 2k19 style - Same for the strikes i prefer the old style instead of the combos The games NEEDS the promos back so bad !!! And Chain Wrestling too !! Great video, thanks for exposing them and giving ideas for a better game. 😀👍

[@WrestlingTakes]

Thanks!

[@tsstevensts]

By far the My Rise mode. Not only can you play as your own wrestling hero we get some solid original wrestlers like Fanny, Donna Matrix and Psycho Sally. Even 2K20's was interesting...at the very least Red was a decent Laura Bailey impersonator. But hey, how about instead of My Faction scrap that, have the unlockables in it timed special events with a universal buy in achieved either through doing different achievements in game or buying credits, and have several different Road to Wrestlemania and Career retrospectives. Undertaker, Orton, Lita, Ripley, Mick Foley and Asuka would be worthy contenders for such a mode.

[@MCMcThriller]

I don't mind the Showcase Mode but I just think the choices made for the current year's mode is blah. I'm an Attitude Era guy and seeing how we haven't gotten RAW 2000/2001's since WrestleMania x8 I believe, having a Showcase Mode centered around someone with a worthy value of unlockables like an Undertaker, Kane, Triple-H, The Rock, Hulk Hogan would make sense because then you get a healthy dose of content across the New Generation Era, Attitude Era, Ruthless Aggression era and beyond. That, or maybe do a pivot and celebrate tag teams, or Royal Rumble, Survivor Series, Summerslam, maybe the ladder match, or cage match, or even the history of a title. Choosing someone like a CM Punk, Batista, Randy Orton or anyone post Attitude Era would be ok, but considering the fact that most of the stuff we've gotten through an unlockable or simple addition through 2K for a mode, we won't have a substantial amount of content to justify buying a season pass to play that mode. Otherwise, I'm all for a return to Road to WrestleMania

[@MrLeonSwag2k]

Yeah online is a complete crack show, I make online videos everyday and it's a pain to just get one match going. While I have seen a slight decrease in matches crashes. We still have the issues of loading into lobbies or just lobbies crashing while waiting for other players to join

[@Alchemist_Android2024]

The Hardy Boyz coming back 2026 or 2027 want to be in games for WWE

[@SobaMaskV2]

Id scrap Showcase for a season mode style mode meanwhile one of the biggest things i want is too have create a story back even in a washed down way

[@ElmoKnowsWhereYouLive5150]

Serious question: Why doesn't 2K have the DX entrance readily available, with accurate motions? (The one they've given us for like 7 years is loosely based on HBK's WM 14 entrance. They literally weren't doing their tandem in ring poses back then, let alone with pyro.)

[@WrestlingTakes]

I honestly don’t know

[@scottmiller7678]

They need to create a swap out system that they have for the ring announcers for the commentators. We have AI voice creations, they should be able to take the audio files from the past commentators. They never will though.

[@gaberogers8245]

I just want a simple request. Make it so you can break taunts as to not get clobbered when your opponent tries to interrupt you. Also find a way to put in Kevin Owens Fisherman Buster Suplex.

[@duran2xx]

For showcase we need a What if ? Mode for example what if the shield never broke up. What is the streak never ended type matches like that

[@WrestlingTakes]

That’d be cool

[@JoksterFox]

10 man matches seem like a likely thing next year as well

[@JosephJones-xm6bo]

To make 2K 25 WWE better is to emerge Design Story Mode bring that back an emerge with universal mode and not only that for the first time ever have promos with voice over

[@elvedincatak9557]

the roster should be bigger in terms of legends

[@TheShortShop]

Legendary difficulty has always been ez for me.

[@Jeorgie97]

We need to actually have chain wrestling or a revamped version of it. The combo system does not fit in a wrestling game. Bring back the 2k19 gameplay mechanics, simulation style gameplay last longer than arcade style gameplay when it comes to wrestling.

[@whatseatontim918]

Just lower the kickout rate in superstar settings, and it may give you somewhat like squash matches 🙂

[@WrestlingTakes]

Thanks, never thought of that

[@spicersun2579]

Chain wrestling and fast grapple.

[@Daniel-Rain-YT]

2K19 still has a more polished and more advanced gameplay than 2K24 soo... they can't and won't deliver...

[@scottmiller7678]

They're to busy making football animations that no one will ever use.

[@cercrazyy2328]

2K25 needs •revamped Universe Mode •RoadToWrestleMania(no showcase🚫) •Raw/SmackDown themed background screen menu like the SVR games •Raw/SmackDown show theme on jukebox •Larger soundtrack (no more pop music or modern rap) have more heavy metal& hardcore rap •Faster Paced Gameplay like 2K22

[@fahmidornab5618]

if brutally honest had a face it would be this video!!! agree with every single thing

[@WrestlingTakes]

Thanks mate. I’m trying to voice my honest concerns, hopefully someone from 2K will see the video lol

[@fahmidornab5618]

@@WrestlingTakes hey bro... about the bray wyyt showcase... any rumours youve heard?

[@cercrazyy2328]

It’s funny only thing I like about 2K24 is the ramp camera & the ability to throw weapons. Outside of that it’s the same game with a far worst roster 😂

[@Eagleman1996]

you gained a new sub bro this video was so good road to wrestle mania needs to come back excellent vid

[@WrestlingTakes]

Thanks mate appreciate it. Add me on discord wrestling_takes_ if you want to join the community. There’ll be more videos coming soon!

[@TheShortShop]

I went back to 22 because the AI in 24 keeps using the same rope attacks and the moves don't make the same impact sound and it's kinda slow

[@diegoferrandinogenn]

I just need them to give us more Caw and Image slots (200 & 2000)

[@joshcarley8517]

Thanks a lot for your video! I have been playing wrestling games for decades now and I do enjoy the gameplay of this one. Of course I would like to see the fighting stances taken out, chain wrestling back to give it a more natural start, and something being done to the reversal system. It is just too easy to reverse. If my friend and I play, it is basically a reversal fest. Lastly, I'd like limb damage to affect the wrestlers more and how it impacts their strategy. As far as modes, I would like to spend most of my time in Universe mode. However, I am so disappointed and appalled with their lack of care for this mode. Spelling mistakes, the match table doesn't work properly, MITB isn't working, nothing interesting happens at the PLEs. I feel like I really need to babysit the mode to get what I want out of it. I am almost about to give up. No matter how I configure the calendar and settings, I can't get it to work well. I started making up my own stories in my head and just playing exhibition matches. If I could have it my way, I would like surprises along the way in Universe mode: - Give me dramatic returns from injury, - Run-ins that screw over a champion, - a list of legends I can make as surprise entrants in certain shows, - 3 and 4 way rivalries, - a setup for a 4 on 4 Survivor Series match where two rivals have to put together a team. The winner gets a championship match. - more powerful betrayals and partnerships, - tournaments like KOTR, - and PLEASE not having the rivals fight every week on RAW!

[@WrestlingTakes]

All good ideas!

[@bernardmuzzik7005]

Ai Weight detection and reversals needs work Cruiserweight's Irish whip superheavyweights not only across the ring but over the top rope ((Terrible))) Superheavyweights ((Andre the Giant)) doing cruiserweight reversals such as running low drop kicks etc. They should have Power reversals, Giant reversals, Brawler reversals, technical reversals, and Highflyer reversals. Reversal Stock needs to be brought back no reason for wrestlers with level 55 reversal reverse more than wrestlers with level 100 reversals Head damage needs to return. We don't have these things because people are not requesting the more important issues. Create a story custom music, create a finisher. We don't need extra slots like many requests create a new profile. create an extra 100 superstars

[@markuss5166]

I’ve been saying for years they need to combine universe and my gm add promos add a story creator where we can create stories and upload it to community creations I feel like that change alone would boost the games life cycle drastically.

[@ErichRaeder]

One of the most highly demanded features for create a wrestler include body morphing and body part customization which seriously needs to return in WWE 2K25

[@Slapdash_86]

Universe mode needs a major upgrade

[@WrestlingTakes]

💯

[@Rockingchairdreamer]

Ladder spreaders & creaking sounds when setting it up & closing it

[@RedWolfWindgear]

I like My Rise, but yes we need Road to Wrestlemania back. There is so many what if stories they could bring to the game.

[@SupergirlJLM]

Instead of scrapping MyRise keep MyRise. I want to play as my own custom wrestler in a storyline. RTWM can be an additional mode for people who want to do that. This way everyone wins

[@njabulokhumalo735]

They should add defeat or defend the Undertaker streak

[@WrestlingTakes]

That mode was 🔥

[@WowSuchGaming2009]

Another feature we need that was in the smackdown vs raw games and 2K14 is custom music cause I’m so tired of downloading community creations and using those generic ass music already have in the gameb

[@WrestlingTakes]

Great point, although I think people were using it inappropriately lol

[@WowSuchGaming2009]

@@WrestlingTakes that’s bullshit people was only using songs for wrestlers who wasn’t part of the roster but naw fr they definitely need to bring back custom music cause they did for the smackdown vs raw series and 2K14 so shouldn’t be a problem they just being lazy

I agree but that’s what 2k will tell us 🤷‍♂️

[@s3studios597]

-Bring back proper sliders for CaW mode -Combine GM Mode and Universe. Universe continues to feel like a mode that with untapped potential despite it being over a decade since it was introduced (from what I've seen and heard since the last game I played was 2K19). I know people (rightfully) hate AI, but maybe there could be an ethcal way to implement it for promos or something -Similarly, call names. Though I'd imagine you'd need the announcers to actually be okay with this and sign off. And all that also ignoring the 100% chance of abuse by assholes and idiots. -Bring back Paint Tool, so I don't have to deal with some outside app that won't work in a year or two with the older games -Bring back jukebox and custom music -Ragdoll physics- something people have been wanting for years along with better/actual selling -More CaW slots and more costume slows per CaW. Also let us wear entrance clothes in the match -A crazy one, but custom hair would be nice. -Story designer -Create-a-Tractor mode

[@WrestlingTakes]

All good points

[@rattrapper]

I'm a MyFaction fan, and yes RankedPlay is the mode where you can get bonus card packs and rewards for ranking up. I think universe needs a rehaul but not to include MyGM this is separate as I'm not a fan of MYGM, I like the randomness of universe not the predictability / structure of MyGM. Too many bugs were introduced from patch 1.11 , like not being able to save custom matches in universe and also our CAWS losing their hair. I agree story designer should come back and be integrated with universe, where you can download custom stories, keeping it fresh for a long time. I remember suggesting this when there was a big community survey, about 5 years ago, when Pat Gilbert (not 100% of name) took over as creative director. I also think potential rivalries should come back this added to universe too.

[@WrestlingTakes]

Fair enough it’s interesting to hear a different perspective

[@kencarr2190]

I wish they could deliver aew make itwhere we control the Pyro during the entrance and make it where we can bring out 3 or 4 belts

Good vid road 2 wm would be goated and they could just remove showcase

[@laurapagan8114]

What is just what if we keep my rise and we add road to wrestlemania

[@402versegaming]

They should do a my rise road to wrestlemania story for male and female You start out from the beginning of the career be able to choose what type of person you want to be in the wwe and every match can affect something also, they should have no objectives so every match feels like it has purpose and the timeline change depends how you’re doing in the wwe also, they should not have any storyline stuff. And just have one main story like wwe 2k19 We can either be the best, or the worst wrestler of all time Depending how you do it can impact the story and a good or bad way They should remove showcase mode Give us more new match types from previous games Improvements to create arena and face scan superstars like nba 2k did and do a wwe 2k face scan app Fix online Bring back promos and more for universe mode Mygm ability to use custom brand and arenas

Ngl I think that’s just you on the legendary mode issue. My matches don’t go over 5 maybe 10 minutes. If anything It needs to be harder. MyRise would be better if it wasn’t linear and was replayable. I hate that once we beat it our character can’t be used anymore. But I do like MyRise better. Showcase mode feels a tedious and I feel like it would be the same with rtwm

[@WrestlingTakes]

Fair enough

Music ripping

[@Billy2-pg3zj]

This game will die when the next game comes out and servers close September next year as a minimum. Try playing wwe2k24 on spectate only mode . It's poor compared to wwe2k23.The roster in wwe2k23 was much better. Gamers spend potentially hundreds of pounds on these games and my faction doesn't transfer . Now they have shortened the server open time to 18 months for wwe2k23 and it may be shorter for wwe2k24 and 25.

[@thecodester6669]

Beside bad bunny. NO CELBERTIES. no music stars because, oh they made the soundtrack. None of that mcafee bs past few weeks. RESPECT BY WWE2K TO US FANS who still gonna buy the shittt online and no matter how much we beg, and bitch, and moan, theit still wont remove myfaction, keeping godfathher, big poppa pump stiener, and dx stuff locked in, A working online mode, Abillity to use custom music(link the game to your music app like spotify or itunes and just search a song, use that, and boom entrance) A seperate custom slots for alt.attires since god knows you be a live game and instead of doing ea's rile and have servers up for years. 1 year. Really. You could at least go 2. Again. No celeberites in a wrestling game. A way way better soundtrack(1 pop, 1 hiphop, 1rap, 1 rock, 1 country, and then 3 to one those areas) More match types: buried alive, inferno, Taker showcase When doing the showcase alt attires. Just set them as like 3 areas and then add attires their, kinda like austin with his wwf attires of 2k16, so we font get like rey dec 09, waste of a spot BEING ABLE, TO ACTUALLY UNLOCK THE TROPHIES WHICH last i known. Half of thrm sre gltiched out unable to get(also stop with online trophies) Anddddd whether dlc or base game, add legends that were unappricaited or havent been in a game in a decade and a half. Take like viscera for example. No respect tohim, noy even when the man died(took 2 weeks to acknowledge his death, and only cause his widow threatend to lawsuit them), and has not seen a gamr since svr 2009
