This change trumps the lot.

Fans have been crying out for 2K to implement this for years now, and it's fallen on deaf ears more than once. Previously in Universe, simming matches between AI opponents meant putting up with a random winner, and that took some control out of the player's hands. That control has been snatched back in 2K19's Universe.

For the first time, gamers will choose who they want to win before sims, and the CPU will dutifully deliver the right result. That'll make piecing together the feuds you want to see easier than ever, it'll make playing every single match a thing of the past, and finally turns the mode into a wrestling sandbox to mimic the old EWR and TEW management games.

This solves one of 2K18's main annoyances. Namely, Universe gave the illusion of choice rather than leaving things up to the player. It kinda' just did what it wanted after a while, and that made the experience more on-rails than it should've been.

What do you make of these changes and improvements? Let us know down in the comments section below!
