WWE 2K18: 10 Most Wanted New Features

2. The Return Of 2K Showcase

2k Showcase was a notable omission from 2K17, and it says a lot about the value of the mode that the game was poorer without it. In 2K16, playing through the career of 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin felt nostalgic and fun all at once, largely because the mode offered a different kind of gameplay to everything else in the game.

2K18 needs to bring the Showcase back in a big way, and there are several options open to the developers.

Imagine an extensive look at Kurt Angle's career, or the Brock Lesnar retrospective 2K were rumoured to have in the works for last year's game; now that Angle is back on board with WWE, some of Brock's biggest matches are within reach.

Alternatively, a full-on career mode for The Undertaker is possible, or perhaps even a new 'WWE Network' idea that outlines the depth of content available on the subscription service.

Showcase was an excellent replacement for the old 'Road To WrestleMania' feature, and it desperately needs to make a comeback for the next game due to the way it allows for interaction with history.
