WWE 2K20 Early Wishlist: 10 Things Fans DEMAND

3. GM Mode

It's been said before, and it's worth repeating: this will never go away until 2K make it happen.

Universe Mode did see some marked improvements in 2K19, like the ability to decide winners and losers, but it's still not a properly fleshed-out God sim like GM Mode was. Back when that was around in the old SmackDown vs. Raw days, it was easy to sink countless hours in without getting bored.

Universe doesn't carry the same immersive vibe despite 2K's best intentions, and so we'd be happy to see its scrapped in favour of playing boss. Being able to play the matches and both pit your wits against rival shows and have an end goal to work towards (maybe outperforming both other brands in the ratings?) sounds awesome.

2K could let players build their own General Manager or pick from the ones who kayfabe run the shows in real life. As William Regal, you'd be tasked with putting NXT on the map as a viable alternative. As Kurt Angle, the job would entail maintaining Raw's dominance. As Paige, raising SmackDown's profile and overtaking Raw would be paramount.
