WWE 2K18: 10 Most Wanted New Features

7. Creation Suite Optimisation

Creating a custom wrestler, arena, entrance, movie, title or move-set should be a joy, not a chore bogged down by horrifically long loading times and a design so sticky it harks back to flash-based websites of yesteryear.

In short, the entire creation suite in WWE 2K18 has to be optimised, because elements of the suite in 2K17 did little to make creating anything fun; loading different masks or face paints should be instantaneous, people don't want to sit around and wait a few seconds for each part to load these days.

Worse, coming in and out of creation modes took an age in 2K17, and that's unacceptable. The entire process really needs to be slicker if 2K want people to truly enjoy seeing their ideas come to life.

The creation tools are fantastic if one knows how to exploit the depth on offer (and there's a lot of depth hidden just beneath the surface of those templates should players invest the time required), but dipping in and out of the Create-A-Wrestler or Create-An-Entrance modes shouldn't be a pain.
