WWE 2K21: 10 Improvements It Must Make On 2K20

4. Online Universe Mode

Depending on your personal tastes, Universe Mode is either a delightful WWE sandbox or an overwhelming crap shoot of simmed matches and disinteresting cutscenes that fizzles out. It has real potential to be more than it is right now though, and (if they can sort out problems with online lobbies) it could become an online hit.

Imagine being able to combine Create-A-Story with Universe and play God in your own WWE world with friends? That's achievable with the right focus, and it'd turn Universe into one of the more exciting features in 2K's games overnight for loads of players. That community aspect, aside from CAWs, is sorely lacking anyway.

They could also take things further.

Universe Online would offer gamers the chance to pit their management wits as Raw (for example) against a friend running SmackDown or NXT. That'd be a soft relaunch of the much-wanted GM Mode, and it'd give people a reason to keep playing.
