WWE 2K19: Universe Mode Early Gameplay (EXCLUSIVE)

[@noPjusNUT]

Thank you for actually going INTO Universe mode and deeply looking into multiple things! Most KZbinrs just skimmed through Universe for 5-10 mins and come back and tell us "They didn't really change anything, it's basically the same" when 2K actually changed alot of little things that really matter to hardcore universe players, such as assigning managers, more championship slots, choosing simulated winners, multiple cash in options, women's rumble, custom match table & more. So thank you again for actually looking for new things

[@bigboychris446]

It's so nice to see other Hardcore Universe Mode players. I'm actually going through my Final WrestleMania right now (all the champions I have I carry over to the next game). lol I haven't used Jey Uso since 2K15 when he died in a match against Undertaker 🤣

[@grahamcracker8833]

Yeah, this is all stuff I am looking forward to. As a fellow universe mode player, it is great to see these little but huge changes that mean alot to the feel of each show. Just changes as such the MITB cash ins and the amount of championships per show is big. The big WWE KZbinrs only care about career mode and don't give a single fuck about universe mode cause they don't play it.

[@kclink1579]

Still needs some stuff in it but I love Universe mode and play it the most in WWE games. I was so happy when they put it in the games.

[@naquin1000]

Is it possible to have more than 7 matches per show??

[@darnayblue3081]

I always create a late 2007 WWE Experience with a ECW roster and Pay per views. They need to allow 3 brand shows minimum, period. They also should have superstars cut promo in their entrance attires. Months should be different according to the pay per view you’re approaching. For instance, If I am heading to the Royal Rumble or Elimination Chamber, there needs to be qualification matches and the announcers need to discuss the upcoming event on weekly shows like they use to back in SVR 2011 and WWE’12. You should also not be penalized by having your storyline scrapped by moving your match card around. It’s ridiculous when I change the participants for a Promotional match type like Money In The Bank, the game scraps or simulates the results. These are the issues I want them to fix, along with the number of matches allowed for PPVs. There are way more than 7 matches at Wrestlemania, get real.

[@ghskiss5842]

I was hating on another 19 Universe video and someone sent me here. This shows the major improvement and makes me want the game. Great video.

On crowd reaction, I always wanted not just cheer and boo, I wanted something like: 1.Cheer 2.Cheer Heavily 3 Standing Ovation And for Boos..... 1.Boo 2. Boo Heavily 3. Boo'ed out of the building or something with debris getting thrown at you.

They GOTTA add more slots for Rivalries. Ion want half my roster falling off the power ranking because I don't got room for a rivalry

[@KennyBSmooth]

The other “breakdowns” sucked. Vikingsizegamer showed off all of the best features and everything Universe Mode has to offer. Hopefully they get rid of that immersion breaking Royal Rumble arena for Royal Rumble matches.

[@GMoA16]

I'm very mixed about 2K19's Universe Mode, on one hand, I like the improvements, you can have 6 Title Slots (4 Championship Title Slots and 2 MITB Slots, Man and Woman), you can set-up a match table for your shows, the commentary sounds good for this Universe Mode, you can choose a winner when you simulate a match, and they even have a Run-In system of MITB to Cash-In by Announcing, Mid-Match or Post-Match, all of that is awesome. But on the other hand, the Rivalry System is still the same as I was expecting a change from the standard 3 slots with 4 or 5, I still think Potential Rivalries are interesting but I fear once they past their limits, it's a stale rivalry until one slot opens up and sometimes the potential rivalry cancels itself out after a few weeks, Rivalries are still random simulated storylines, I still wish either they kept the Story Collection from 2K15 or introduce a new Story Creator feature for Universe Mode. There are certain things I'm concerned about that I haven't seen yet and those are Double Run-Ins (like what can happen in exhibition), Tag Team Mid-Match Run-Ins and Post-Match Run-Ins, Championship Run-Ins, Promo Improvements, RAW vs. SmackDown Survivor Series Rivalry, New Storylines and Cutscenes that doesn't feel generic and predictable, etc.

[@rmc7367]

@Uncle Jericho Wants YOU!!! In my opinion 7 matches are enough. I would use more matches just at PPVs, I mean, If I make 3 rivalries on each Raw, Smackdown and 205 live I can only play/simulate 7 of them

[@TyBrezzy11]

You can choose now? Nice

[@undergroundvagos8481]

Totally agree about fighting the same superstar every week! Makes the ppv meaningless

[@DANYBARKING]

I like that new match table feature! It'd be great if they set it up for championships too. So I could have the AI know a hardcore title is only defended in hardcore matches, and to throw multi man matches in often.

[@noPjusNUT]

Just discovered a couple of huge issues with Universe mode. 1) A superstar can't be chasing more than 1 title. So if they're in the IC ranks, you can't move them to be eligible for the World Champion, or it'll remove them from the IC ranks. (but you can still manually book them for a title match for any title) 2) You cannot book a match to have the MITB holder defend the briefcase.
