WWE 2K16: 10 Reasons General Manager Mode Should Return
10. It Allows For Long-Term Booking
1011369On a list of all the issues with the current WWE product, the lack of long-term booking ranks pretty high. Very rarely does WWE have a plan in place months ahead of time; they often fall victim to hot-shotting angles and booking on the fly purely based off what pops a big rating.
Of course, you can't map out a year of storylines in advance with there being risks of wrestlers sustaining injuries or leaving, but setting an end date for a storyline then working backward tends to be the smartest strategy. That's something fans wish they could change if they were in charge of the company, and they can in General Manager Mode.
If you forget what happened two weeks ago on the show, you can look back at your results and double check, as well as how well the June pay-per-view did in the ratings. Everything is documented for you, whereas with WWE Universe, the results of all matches are erased immediately after they occur, so you can never know what you've already done and what has yet to happen.
Vince McMahon doesn't expect viewers to remember the product's history, but with GM Mode, you can fill in those logic gaps yourself.
