Rhilgus Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 This is looking awesome... And as I often use Universe, I'm loving even the small things like the fact that you choose to only see the superstars of a roster. But I really need to see the promo engine... And Lesnar is in rivalry while doing a promo, hoping it means that you can have the rivalry going forward even without a match. But then, it doesn't look like much changed though. Looking at the news for week 1, it's classic WWE Universe. Enzo & Cass vs The New Day : The champs won a match against a random tag team and then, the challengers had the classic cut-scene where they challenge Owens vs Rollins : Champion vs challenger in one on one and the loser walks out. Usual. I'm waiting until the gameplay because it will all be about the presentation. If they can make it looks like a real show as announced, it will be great. If not... I will like it anyway since I already liked the universe in 2k16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooksie Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 I wish that you could select the promos and what not (playing it through start to finish was what I usually liked to do, anyway), hopefully that'll be in next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liontamer* Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 Doesn't look promising at all. What do we know about the mode now that we didn't before? More than half of the article explained how to replicate current WWE instead of focusing on how the promo system works and how it effects rivalries. It is nice to have promos, but it is a pointless feature if it don't work properly. This has been the thing with 2K wrestling games in the last few years; new features make it in but end up being half-assed. I'm willing to bet that the promos won't be diverse and won't add much to the existing stories (actually hoping I'm wrong). If they were diverse and actually effected gameplay, the blog would have mentioned it. Instead, the smartass writer wrote an entire guide on how to utilize tools that we had last year.

BlInd_Monkey1989 Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 The only thing they didn't address that I hoped they would was the repetitive matches for rivalries. Other than that, I'm happy with what I saw. I'm glad we can edit Championship rankings now. I could be mistaken, but that is new, isn't it? We could always do that. Atleast since WWE'13 Now I feel dumb. I've never noticed that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liontamer* Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 promos, 3 save slots and a new menu, and that's all. I expected more when they told they focused on universe and my career with no showcase. Really disapointed.What else could there have been? ROH? Evolve? NJPW? Space travel?Don't know, more title slot ? Or at least not the same schema of 3 men title and 1 diva ? being able to host a ppv by more than two roster ? More storylines options ? More rivalry slot, so we don't have to sacrifice a title rivalry if we want to set a non title one ? Being able to set wrestler as part timers ? Or tweener ? Being able to set attire for wrestler and not just all or one specificaly ? Maybe adding things, like contract, merchandise selling etc.. that can have influence on the popularity of a superstars and so his attributes ? Just some things i can think off right now, in 15 minutes just after i woke up. But yeah there is nothing that can be added to the mode except time travel, you're right.... I was also expecting a lot more from Universe mode this year. Even if they solely focused on diversity in rivalries and different branches and scenes that actually pop up in the game instead of being a damn myth, I'd be willing to get the game. To be fair though, we still don't know how the mode works or if its any better. I guess we'll have to wait and find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarGreymon77 Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 Everybody looks good except, blue eyes (Alundra Blayze in 2K16; Alexa Bliss and AJ Styles in 2K17) just don't look very natural in these games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romanticking Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 its really disappointing. he just explained known features in a big article and 2k fan boys are getting wet all over it. i am calling it now....universe mode havent changed much....apart from promo engine.....and there will be a huge backlash once the game is released....how boring the universe mode is blah blah.

T-Hell Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 That looks really cool and all of that, but I've always been more of an Exhibition mode guy. I'd rather put the storylines in my imagination and do whatever I feel like than the Universe mode messing up something I didn't want to happen.

Non of that is in the same realm of a promo engine and save slots. And from the article we already know that "Rivalries" are no longer a requirement for "Stories", so there is that. And "More Storyline Options" isn't really something that needs to be said either. Merchandise & Contracts and stuff like that is things you find in MyCareer mode or TEW, that are specifically made for these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xjakexryanx Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 "One notable change we’ve made here is that you have to proceed through the match card in the order it’s presented. This might change the way our Universe veterans go through their matches, but it really lets our commentary shine as the team talks about what’s happened and what’s coming next throughout the show." This makes me nervous because a lot of times, it books the main feuds for the title in the middle of the show. "Our matchmaking system is designed to pick the most important Superstars at the time, with a chance of adding a surprise or two." And does this also mean we can't edit participants and change the matches to what we want if universe is booking things we don't like outside of rivalries.

PopUpPowerPost Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 I don't get the positive feedback, just by this photo. 4 wrestlers, 2 divas. Obviously still only 3 rivalries per show and the people in rivalries, are at top. The rest looks EXACTLY the same as 2k16, just a different layout to the menu lol.

YTR Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 Hmm, I'm kinda mixed with this. Personally based on this info, there really wasn't that much new. The Promo Engine sounds fantastic on paper, but who knows how well it really was executed. Really in the end besides the Promo Engine, it does sound pretty much the same from 2k16. Still hyped for the game and who knows, maybe the Universe Mode will be more exciting with more cutscenes, interesting bookings and such. But based on the article, not much to get me singing hallelujah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jmerc Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 I really wanted 1 thing this year, to assign managers. Haven't seen that we can, haven't seen that we can't. Although we were shown where I'd think the option would be, and it wasn't there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xphen0m Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 I like the idea of the new promo segments, but it looks confined to the same spot in each show and it like you can't customize those. They haven't said much about the promo engine, but considering it's the first year it's been in, it could be really limited.Cutscenes could be cool, but I don't think it'll add much to the overall experience. I do like the idea of storylines developing in between rivalries. I've been hoping for something like that for a while now.Other than that, everything else seems the same as recent years. Honestly, I'm somewhat underwhelmed considering that 2k was talking about spending amounts of time on Universe (and MyCareer) but it looks like one big change was added in all of that.

High Flying Maniac Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 Sounds cool but it doesn't seem like a whole lot has changed really. Whatever, I was able to have fun with 2K16's Universe mode so I doubt I'll have any problems doing the same with this years rendition of it. Still really excited for the game and I'm looking forward to see how promos play out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
