WWE 2K19: 10 Most Wanted New Features

6. Voice Acting For Major Stars

To that point, it's about time we saw some attempt at voice acting in a WWE video game again. Nobody would be expecting The Singh Brothers to be fully voiced, but major stars like Brock Lesnar (preferably with Paul Heyman), John Cena, Roman Reigns and The Miz should have a couple of lines at least.

Older players will remember those dreadful pre-match comments from Attitude on the PSOne. We're not advocating that those make a return. No, we're suggesting that 2K insert a few lines that make 2K19's biggest modes like Universe and MyCareer feel alive, rather than akin to one of those text-based adventures on the ZX Spectrum in the 80s.

If 2K are going to continue selling promos as a huge part of their series, it's important they realise that the complete lack of any voice clips hurts that feature. There's no good reason why John Cena can't record a few lines here and there to help bring some colour.
