10 Things We Want To See From The AEW Video Game
4. Learn From The Failures Of WWE 2K20
Though it feels like a lifetime since the WWE games have been genuinely innovative, the trend leading up to 2K20 was more one of gradual decline rather than plummeting through the floor terrible. For some reason though, 2K's most recent effort didn't even just fall into the pitfalls usually associated with games constrained by a yearly release cycle, and was actually outright bad.
Somehow models that had been consistently decent in previous titles had been 'updated' and now seemed like they had been ported straight from a PS2 title into the current-gen, with even those that still looked good difficult to appreciate due to an array of glitches.
Adding to that, the story mode in 2K20 was significantly worse than the ones found in its predecessors, with the supernatural elements proving almost universally unpopular among the game's fanbase.
If AEW's upcoming effort intends on being a AAA simulation-driven title capable of going head to head with WWE 2K, not making the same mistakes as its competition is an absolute must.
