WWE 2K19: 10 Ways To Save Universe Mode

8. Allow Head-To-Head Shows

Again, there's little to make it feel like Raw and SmackDown are going head-to-head in WWE's Universe. This is confusing, because that was a huge selling point for the brand extension's comeback in 2016, and 2K had a whole year to realise it digitally in 2K18.

The new calendar, now allowing for multiple pay-per-views in the same month, is a nice touch. 2K's next step should be letting players book multiple shows on the same night. We're not only talking TV shows either; it's realistic that SmackDown would have a live event on Monday nights, and vice versa when the blue brand are shooting live on Tuesdays.

With head-to-head shows, gamers would also be able to relive the old "Monday Night Wars" between WWE and WCW. Monday Nitro and Raw Is War are included as arenas in the game anyway, so it wouldn't be difficult for enterprising players to set up their own battle for ratings supremacy.
