WWE 2K19: 10 Potential Game Modes It Must Have

5. Universe Mode With Live Updates

One solution to Universe Mode's problems might be freshening up the feature with live updates that reflect what's happening on WWE TV.

Again, the FIFA series is one to plunder for 2K here. Universe is, for all intents and purposes, another way of playing exhibition matches. In EA's world, that doesn't need to be dull. Live updates that alter stats, form, momentum and team sheets bring one-on-one matches against both CPU and human players to life.

2K19 could use this idea to turn Universe from a lifeless cycle through WWE's annual calendar into a living, breathing digital recreation of weekly output. There's a fine line, of course. Having the choice between creating one's own WWE world and following the real-life version seems wise.

It's also far from impossible. Yes, WWE games come out every year, but so do major sports titles. At least they have the decency to keep things updated.
