WWE 2K18 Wishlist: 11 Things It Must Include
How Yuke's can have a successful undertaking...
WWE 2K17, the latest offering in the company's video game series, has been on shelves for almost three months, and it's slated to be released for PC in February. That means that not only has the game sold a ton of copies, but a bunch more are going to be in fans' hands soon.
It's not a surprise. While the game may not be perfect, there's enough programmed into the package that it's a truly immersive experience, one which can eat up hours of time. There's a career mode that lets you take a wrestler from NXT to the main roster, collecting titles and improving all the while. There's MyUniverse, where the user can control WWE as matchmaker and creative force. There a ton of match options, and a create-a-wrestler feature and download suite that lets you collect superstars from all around the globe.
It's a great game, but there's always a new one around the corner. In just a few months, we'll start hearing news about 2K18, and all of the improvements it'll bring over the current model - but which ones are the most crucial?
Here are 11 things that WWE 2K18 must include in order to really upgrade the overall user experience:
11. Six-Man Tag Team Titles
2K17's creation suite isn't just a way to create lifelike video game models of yourself or Hiroshi Tanahashi - you can customize many different aspects of the gameplay. Case in point, there's also a create-a-championship feature, where you can design a title - both its appearance and its intended purpose (whether it's singles or tag, whether it's for men or women, what the weight limits are).
Unfortunately, there's one option missing - six-man tag team championships, which are becoming increasingly popular. They've long been a part of lucha libre, but last year, New Japan introduced its own set of six-man belts, and Ring of Honor followed suit in December.
More relevant to a WWE game than that, though, is the fact that The New Day recently set a tag team championship record as a trio holding the belts. A six-man title option would allow their reign to be represented more accurately, whereas now, Kofi Kingston and Big E are recognized as default champions and Xavier Woods is simply part of the team and without a belt.
