[@Smacktalks]

LOTS of news coming out today in regards to #WWE2K18! We've got a brand new graphics engine, up to 8 players in the ring at the same time, a backstage area up to 3 times as big as 2K17, a new create mode with Create A Match, MyCareer updates, Universe updates, SO MUCH INFO!!! What are you most looking forward to??

[@apollocrews7491]

Smacktalks you're awesome. But are you happy about the cover being Seth rollins

[@apollocrews7491]

Im looking for create a match and graphics . What about you ?

[@apollocrews7491]

CHAOTIKZ Yes have a great day sir

[@andrewpipta4458]

Smacktalks did they say that the brand split will be a big feature of MyCareer mode

[@pickettpride6980]

Smacktalks Any news if showcase mode will return?

[@Tinks27]

You're always the best with news Smacktalks, thanks! :D

[@leroyreynolds9577]

K skillz2 yeah way better then myyard

[@Smacktalks]

Thanks Skillz :)

[@Haybales]

Literally my exact reaction too.

[@MrJaysoul13]

Agree the best

[@Toven_RG]

K skillz2 exactly!

[@ZephyrAuran]

2K should add specific selling AI. (Example: Dean Ambrose using the Lunatic Lariat against Seth Rollins, causing him to sell it by doing a backflip and landing face first, See Summerslam 2014 to see what I mean.)

[@ahm992]

Finaly i was waiting along time ohh thanks Good your Voise is insane i love hear you talking about #WWE2K18

[@kushgames1k639]

abd hakim mortaqui Are u dudes gay or some shit ? smh fuckin weirdos

[@ahm992]

How Dare u Ruude that seam you don't understand what does the word : Brotherhod means i told you it means that you Love the other person even if he is not part of family in our case he is not even son of my country but i love him twice than he do becasue he is soo gentelman so if you keep talking about gay or something like that you better shut the fuck up Plz and thank u very much

[@lolitsanthony]

Lmfao omg

[@JonathonPrieston]

I'm sad Smacktalks wasn't invited to 2K

[@CappuccinO80]

He wasn't? That's a crime!

[@Decyg23]

CappuccinO80 xD

[@redcrow7278]

all aboard the WWE2K18 hype train!!!

[@yolandaortega8762]

Zero Gaming WOO WOO!

[@chair9368]

Zero Gaming Chugga Chugga Chugga Chugga Chugga Chugga Chugga Chugga Chugga Chugga Chugga Chugga GM MODE

[@firesparkz140]

JamesTheNerdKing there is no gm mode

[@chair9368]

Jack Sparkz Gaming doesn't hurt to hope. Brand extension returned and Angle said he'd like to see it return.

[@AlexisStreams]

Fans Now - All aboard the hype train 3 Months later Fans Then - OH FUCK THIS GAME THIS IS A PIECE OF GARBAGE *coughs* WWE 2K17 *whistles*

[@mrpizzafun2213]

Finally wwe2k listen to the fan's voice and opinion

[@THEPHENOMENALMRR]

i hope wwe2k18 have inferno match, i quit match, ambulance match, etc!!

[@Jay-fr9bk]

THE PHENOMENAL M0R31R4 And buried alive match

[@joshuaspurgeon5007]

As much as I would love a punjabi prison match being put into the game, I definitely don't see that happening at least til 2k19.

[@Rrigby]

THE PHENOMENAL M0R31R4 well at least someone will make those matches

[@firesparkz140]

THE PHENOMENAL M0R31R4 just create them because it has create a match

[@WhiteHurricane100]

Jack Sparkz Gaming Will we be able to create matches like the special guest ref?

[@DanR714]

I was hoping to see the return of Story Creation that involved many cut scene animations to choose from like in the previous WWE games from THQ

[@XWEowner]

FINALLY THE COMMENTARY AND CROWD ARE UPDATED! YES! This may be the best WWE game to date and I'm still waiting for entrances, screenshots, and game play but I know it will be very promising! #ImHyped😲

[@chrisburr1267]

I'm glad jbl is no Longer doing commentary! His commentary sucks!

[@jessepike3565]

Chris Burr i agree with you he does suck especially when he tries to say dolf ziggler he says zigger

[@theawesome3211]

Now this is a video to watch unlike those other KZbins who keep talking trash, and never get to the point.

[@theexplosiveshow1290]

Can't wait for this game!

[@jamieedington4340]

Smacktalks is VERY underrated. Thank you for being so clear and concise.

[@realjohnathanholiday]

8 man tags tho. it's lit

[@deanlithgow5128]

Hey smacktalks I just wanted to say that every video you upload I always like before I even watched the vid because I know it will be great anyway so thank you for lighting up my day every time I see your new video pop up 🤗

[@tang484]

This is what we all wanted for so long and now its here

[@Smacktalks]

Hopefully it lives up to the hype as it sounds promising! :D

[@childishxanbino]

Hopefully they add tag team ladder matches to 2k18

[@tristancastro6618]

Yolo Man Gaming- tag ladder & table matches r back in the game with others and i still dont know if 2k18 will have showcase and gm mode we bothe just have to wait and see hit me up on facebook my name is tristan castro im wearing my cap n gown on ill let u know when summerslam starts and the roster is revealed during on in the same week on tuesday during sdlive

[@jphelps884]

Yolo Man Gaming/pranks/reactions/and more I'm hoping for a new overhaul of the Steel Cage Match....it is in need of a brand new overhaul, similar to the ladder match

[@firesparkz140]

Tristan Castro no gm mode

[@TheJordanWS]

Thanks so much for this man! I really didn't wanna watch a dozen videos :P

[@johnedwards9194]

Great video smacktalks, you always cover the key points and summarise it and explains it so well :)

[@DeloFFF]

This should by far be the best WWE 2K EVER

[@thejudge8570]

Delo Brown I agree

[@ethanmolesmusic]

I've seen plenty of videos regarding this subject and you've definitely explained it the best.

[@thtguyjosh184]

we PS3 gamers made a huge sacrifice

[@TonyPrice141]

Hey Smacktalks I just wanted to say keep up the good work on KZbin

[@ChrisMS0815]

These are huge changes, now I see why they ditched last gen. Good thing they did too.

[@circlewoo940]

Wait what 8 people in the Ring? Sick!

[@dominiccampbell181]

Unlike some people, I liked the fifteen year story to try and make the HoF, but I wanted the addition of a story. The length was fine, there just wasn't much to do. If they'd had the stuff from this year, with the length of last year, it would be perfect.

[@TylerJosephSmith]

I can't wait to hear Corey Graves say "he's putting those educated feet to good use!"

[@BITW-nm5sj]

Tyler Joseph Smith KINSHASAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[@TheVampManson]

One cool update that I hope comes to the channel. Smacktalks will finally do Community Showcases again instead of just news and updates.

[@CrossfacePanda]

They're gonna need a lot of new features, seeing as Fire Pro is coming back next week. Honestly, provided Fire Pro World gets continued support of new moves and heads, I don't think I'll ever play another WWE game ever again.

[@al112v4]

Fire Pro sounds absolutely fantastic, but it doesn't take away that this year's WWE 2K game could be a good thing since 2006.

[@MrDukeBoy7]

al112v5 That's what I was saying last year when I was hyped for 2K17, until I actually bought it and realised the game was garbage.

[@nightcoreuploadz6466]

They should do a update every time superstars update there attire

[@jeremyfermin9608]

Jamie Betteley ikr, so I don't have to waste my character/attire slots in community creations every single time a wrestler has a new attire.

[@nightcoreuploadz6466]

AJ Styles yep

[@minecraftmaster3158]

Jamie Betteley that would be a problem for new day and some others😂

[@rodrigombia73]

In the ps2 each show had its own team of commentators and their own announcers, for example Michael Cole, Tazz and Tony Chimmel in Smackdown and Jim Ross, King Lawler and Lilian Garcia in Raw. With today's technology it should be much easier. It should be Tom Phillips, JBL and Otunga in Smackdown with Greg Hamilton as announcer and in Raw Michael Cole, Corey Graves and Byron Saxton with Jojo as announcer

[@daniyalhussain956]

rodrigombia73 yeah but will u be willing to listen to jbl

[@dsumeshxtreme]

I hope 2K has included a brand new running animated spear charged finisher for Roman Reigns so that he can use it on other wrestlers off ring areas as well as on backstage areas, I hope 2K will not disappoint us this time, fingers crossed!

[@SlickDGaming]

8 men in the ring is a long time coming. Bout time we get it, plus finally some 4 vs. 4 Survivor Series matches. Looking forward to it.

[@TheWWEsimulations]

that highlight reel update seems interesting :D

[@patrick3427]

This game sounds amazing, wish they'd bring back create a finisher tho

[@akifrahman]

P atrick you imposter, I had this pic as my profile pic first!

[@mr0y.300]

P atrick right😂😂, idk why they got rid of it in the first place 😂😂, it was in wwe2k14😂😂 but the need to add it back😡😤

[@Q_Reeves]

Captain _Madisun Unrealistic. That's why.

[@Eaawesome59]

Q Reeves exactly. Create a finisher was crap. The finishers came out with choppy animations and they didn't do as much damage as the other finishers.

[@patrick3427]

Q Reeves That's why it was fun

[@albion2082]

we need custom music

[@HeyPachuc0]

earl hewitt Its paramount that they add that. To hell with everything else.

[@FirstLast-yh7gj]

earl hewitt that's up to Microsoft and Sony not 2K

[@truindividual]

Xboxone 1997 yeah that's a hardware issue

[@joshuaspurgeon5007]

Yeah unfortunately what they said is true. I'm not expecting custom music to be a thing anytime soon so I just went and used an old hard drive that I was using for my Xbox 360, put music on it, and hooked it up to my ps4 and just play the music during the entrance and victory scene of my created people. After a while, you actually get used to doing it that way. It makes it easier to change the music too if you feel like it.

[@Einstein0fRap]

earl hewitt what i do is use spotify, they have most wwe superstars' entrance music past & present & spotify is free.

[@JHupkinsPR]

In create an entrance, I imagine they would add instead of tag and trio, then add four as The Evolution and The Wyatt Family.

[@viletoxxie]

Holy shit. I think this is the one that brings me back to WWE games. Ever since WWE 12, its been a downward spiral in quality but it looks like Yukes is gonna go all out with this one -- ayeeee wrestling games are lit again?? Cant wait to see gameplay

[@jakegiddings1495]

Me, My brother, and a couple of cousins are currently doing our own brand extension on Universe Mode.

[@Merkanishia]

Im more looking forward to the myCareer And Universe Mode

[@king_xpert1311]

Wow! best news I seen so far!!!

[@CapnAkira]

Great news. I'm curious to hear if create n entrance got revamped as well. Creating your own championship entrance has been long overdue.

[@tomrise1257]

8 players?!? That's HUGE! and definitely a step forward. Was hyping for 10 for a Survivor Series match but.. oh well.. maybe next year

[@brkkab123321]

The news in the video is good. There's still areas that need more improvement, though. My previous comments are a few of them.

[@brownxellence]

Randy orton does not have a new model, they used the new graphic engine on the 2K17 models to show the difference to those invited!

[@Animedogfingamer]

Chris Denker confirmed that there is no Draft mode and is unsure about create a finisher

[@hoshiii7715]

I WANT 2K18 NOW!!!!!

[@bigup6126]

wtf?

[@mowdegrassetyson7676]

Nicolas Kennedy same

[@bonniejohnson1109]

Nicolas Kennedy My dad said he thinking about ordering the game for me

[@Aesthetic626]

Can't wait to buy it

[@ISleepAndIKnowThings]

Yes, King and JBL are gone from commentary! Liking the sound of the updated Universe Mode. Hope there's more themes to choose from say from the Attitude Era like older Raw themes, then stuff like Line in the Sand and I Walk Alone.

[@MGSBigBoss77]

WWE 2K17 roster's along with CAW's included is over 200 Wrestlers anyways. WWE 2K18 with its roster now over 200 and with CAW slots available (not taking into account 2K18's eventual DLC roster?) Means it might end up with over 250 in total. Count me impressed somewhat already then!

[@StormAj23]

I Can't Wait For This Game To Come Out!!!

[@trentlayne8996]

it would be cool if the make it to where it's hard to stand after you start bleeding after awhile like Shawn Michael's did during the elimination chamber or even like when he was facing triple h during that last man standing match

[@matthennessy146]

I'm satisfied with the info but I'm going wait until October 13th before I get hyped

[@Danish10xHD]

Matt Hennessy agreed! I hope the game delivers!

[@saudalarfaj88]

finally a real major inprovment for the game that we have been witing for

[@MegaHugh18]

Finally more players can be in the ring at the same time now. With being 8 people can be in the ring at the same time, I hope they'll have Fatal 4 way tag matches and triple threat tag matches. It would be great if they put create a finisher back on the game as well.

[@gnr1090]

i hope we can do our own rules to make a 2 vs 2 vs 2 vs 2 ladder match or tlc match!!

[@sampressley4567]

gnr1090 that would be a cluster fuck...... I'd watch it

[@gnr1090]

Smart-Mouth: Samuel Man that would be great!! We can maybe do it with the create a match option

[@Calculon1712]

Last time we had 8 on one screen was Smackdown Just Bring It can't believe that was 16 years ago

[@Danish10xHD]

I hope they bring back either Story mode (Season mode) or Road to Wrestlemania they made WWE games so damn good as well as the Slobber Knocker mode where you could go everywhere.

[@PiTeRoGaming]

They should finally bring back create a story with all these new features available. Finally 4 men stable attack would make sense.

[@FirstLast-yh7gj]

Hoping there's also different hammer throw where you can actually throw ppl properly into steel steps

[@davidremaley5024]

hopefully they will fix logo warping

[@coolerplays3477]

3 top things people complained about in EVERY wwe game... A new graphics engine, commentary to be like NBA 2k, and to update te crowd because the crowd also plays a big part in wwe. Finally they listened to the people, so hyped for this game especially a Seth Rollins 2K Showcase!

[@autisticace8473]

Not exactly the first time because the last game that had 8 men was WWF SmackDown: Just Bring It.

[@TheOlvera666]

can't wait to find out the news about Community creation I'm tired of trying to search for somebody and it just keep popping up with random stuff I really do hope they fix that

[@carlosashton]

This sounds so good 8 man in the ring at the same time I've been wanting that for so long I wish we could do custom entrance music again tho would be so good

[@CrimTaker]

I hope there's some sort of story creator since they already have all these cutscenes in the video editor.

[@MWReesetheFan1994]

Now I'm on the WWE 2K bandwagon after watching this. Hopefully the game lives up to its expectations.

[@zeroworries]

Maurice Wilson How could they mess this up?

[@michaelbreen7865]

Artiicus Somehow I think they'll find a way.

[@freeziboi3249]

Artiicus They always find a way.

[@greatestofalltime1607]

That sound really good

[@BrklynBoi718x]

Open lobbies in online... you wanna keep the longevity of the game you need online...

[@kieranletsplays7141]

I AM SO BLOODY HYPED XD

[@johnnykeane9633]

Simply put a story mode in where you can choose a on disk wrestler, put 10/12 major story archs e.g feud with undertaker, royal rumble and stable formation/takeover with cut scenes where you can make choices like in HCTP

[@ComXDude]

"... the search system in 2k17 was completely broken..." That was the understatement of the century.

[@BrentonBold]

i waited for screenshots before preordering 2k17. 2k18 is sounding good. let's see those screenshots. kurt angle vs eddie

[@nikhilragoonath7314]

Really hope they add more participants for tournaments cuz 16 person tourneys is not enough to recreate tournaments like the mae young classic or cwc

[@marvpharaohthejedi4662]

I'm glad they're finally making the rumble better. All I want now is better implementation of the MITB match

[@damonbrown540]

WWE 2k16 Career mode was better than WWE 2k17 Career.

[@Aesthetic626]

Can't wait to pick up this WWE game cause I haven't played/bought a WWE game in 5 years

[@al112v4]

It could have been perfect to put up to 10 people so we could do Survior Series matches, but 8 sounds pretty cool too. I also wished about the commentary team including the SD! Live one but well, it is what it is. And what about create a story?

[@travisw3131]

hope they add more matches on each ppv on universe mode this year, you need atleast 9 matches because the roster is so big anymore.

[@autisticace8473]

Good job on the Brand Extension Support, but will PPVs still have a 2-brand limit? They should up the limit a notch to 3 PPVs. Remember Raw, SmackDown & ECW?

[@shalomkitty4429]

I can't wait to get this game

[@Crashj7f67h]

The main thing I'm focused on is the glitches that will be there when the game releases and Universe Mode. I lost my save data, people were invisible when you use alt attires in Universe cutscenes and it was laggy. Hopefully Universe isn't repetitive and boring like WWE 13, WWE 2K16, and WWE 2K17. In WWE 13 it was hard to get cutscenes (especially branching cutscenes). In the other two you would just get the same cutscenes with an occasional new one. I hate how you would change a match or a guy and ruin the cutscenes for that match. I could go on and on but I just hope they fix it. Anyway, I was to get excited about the game but I'm going to reserve any opinions until I play the game.

[@tsanford33]

2K is really going all out. It's great to see them being able to upgrade these games so much and show us what they're capable of. Great work by the team, and can't wait to play this in October.

[@DG0011]

Robbles yukes develops the game not 2k, they just publish it

[@GenerationSpex]

200 superstars? can't wait to play as 20 versions of The Undertaker!

[@FASHIONandLUST]

Well I hope smacktalks has community creations

[@the_ghost_23_]

I ain't ever been so hyped for a game in my life this game gon be dope as fuck

[@lolitsanthony]

Everytime smacktalks says "community creations" I cry

[@howto3691]

Great Vid

[@blazin2580]

This is gonna be one of the best wwe games if they added more match types and custom soundtracks (which won't be in the game ) but this game still has me excited

[@yxngkid666]

in wwe 2k17 during John cena's five knuckle shuffle the crowd would do you can't see me animation

[@lenagorgioso6512]

RTWM returns baby 😆👍🤘🏆🔥🔥💯

[@izhe12]

the ability to use a created superstar as you tag partner in my career mode would be great

[@wrestlerboy500]

Hopefully Triple Threat, Fatal Four Way and 6 man Tag feuds are a thing this year

[@trevorb3492]

Smacktalks will there be a ambulance match or road to wrestlemania?

[@Smacktalks]

New match types were listed in the official description on the 2K site but they've not revealed which match types those will be yet.

[@trevorb3492]

Smacktalks send me the link

[@coltoncantwin]

sounds really good, might be the first one i preorder

[@Gleddis12]

Music-Import would be nice for a unique theme

[@chadking1996]

Will there be a stretcher match and casket match and ambulance match and special referee match match

[@daleduckling9441]

Sounds right hoping its true great video smacktalk hey what was your fav news out of these ones?

[@domfabio8850]

Bout time 2K, seems like they're finally putting in some work into this franchise.

[@wwe_nodq]

Hopefully they can add Special Referee Match and WCW Nitro for create An Arena Mode that would be so much awesome!
