Was just coming to post this here, but here's an article link if you want to attach that to the OP as well in case people don't want to watch the YouTube videos

That got me really excited. I just traded in 2K17 the other day to take advantage of GameStop, but I might be more intrigued with this one, especially the commentary news. If they can replicate the NBA system, then this could be great.

If you don't want to go through the whole article or video:

- MyPlayer boasts new progression and upgrade systems that are designed to foster repeat gameplay
- My Career mode will be shorter, with branching options and experiences. It will also introduce character archetypes with Fighting Styles
- Free-roaming backstage that will be three times larger than previous installments.
- WWE Universe mode will have an expanded, rewritten story system, so that storylines can persist through pay-per-views, can overlap, and more.
- Universe mode is also expected to fully support the brand split
- 2K promises a new online My Player game mode called Road to Glory (no details revealed yet)
- There will be a new create-a-match feature, which will allow you to actually save a specific match type and be able to have it added to the list of match options
- Create-a-video feature will now include a free camera
- Little said that the WWE 2K team was tired of trying to catch up to the NBA 2K team in terms of graphics, so they decided to just outdo them, by rewriting their entire graphics system from the ground up via new lighting, skin, camera, and texture effects
- There will be a whole new announce team in 2K18, or at least a whole new pairing, as Michael Cole will be joined by Corey Graves and Byron Saxton
- Graves, Saxton, and Cole have been recording together since 2K17 came out. There have been a couple of sessions with all three recording lines together, but there have also been sessions of all three combinations of two
- Sound design has undergone an overhaul. There will be new chants, new arena sounds (as well as new arenas, of course), and a new ring announcer, JoJo
- WWE 2K18 will have the ability to have eight men or women in the ring at one time. You’ll be able to have ladder matches, Royal Rumble matches, and battles royal with up to eight participants in the ring at once
- Little put the amount of wrestlers in the game at likely over 170

Reading they are bringing back create a story is great. Now hopefully they have learned from the past and have figured out how to allow us to upload these created stories to Universe. That would truly help expand the replay factor.

Having 8 in the ring is huge. Hopefully they've done some stuff with the rumble as it hasn't changed in years.

Article on gamespot says they have reworked the rumble.

Just about everything sounds good with the exception of changes to mycareer.
They have described it as a launching point for the new online mode Road to Glory. Sounds like those of us that want a full offline career experience may be disappointed.

It matters little to me as I barely touched that mode. I almost exclusively play universe mode so I am hoping the story upgrades there are considerable

The only two things I hope for (One of which is highly unlikely):

1. Create a story for Universe (like someone else mentioned in here)

and (the unlikely one)

2. Inserting your own music for entrance themes. Or if not, just let us you the whole WWE audio library.

For the second one, I wouldn't need an in-game music editor because worst comes to worst I can edit the song on my laptop and move it over that way

If they can't do custom music, that suggestion would solve a lot of our problems. Sure, there might be a few songs that weren't WWE originals that we can't use and some of the indy wrestlers wouldn't get their actual songs, but it would cut down on repeat songs for wrestlers too. Also, if the song is on the sound track, allow it to be used as well.

Great suggestion!
