10 Things We Want To See From The AEW Video Game
2. Include A GM/Booker Mode
Ask any fan of the WWE video game series which feature they miss the most and you will no doubt be flooded with people wistfully reminiscing about the GM mode of the SmackDown Vs Raw games.
The Universe Mode of more recent titles has certainly gone some of the way to filling the GM Mode-shaped hole in our collective hearts, but many of the aspects that made taking control of a roster in the previous titles such as actually signing the talent to contracts are disappointingly absent.
Given that AEW has proven to be, shall we say, progressive, in its attitudes towards kayfabe, why not go all out and actually allow the player to serve as a booker in a mode in the upcoming game? That way total control could be allocated to the player as they attempt to build storylines and feuds that resonate with the audience with success determined based on in-game TV ratings.
