WWE 2K21 Early Wishlist: 10 Things Fans DEMAND

3. GM F'n Mode

Triple H NXT
WWE

Note the resentful, censored "f'n" above. That's an outburst of frustration born from years of prattling on about the same subject without any breakthrough.

At this point, it's almost like 2K are hearing how much demand there is for the return of GM Mode, sitting back in their Secretlab Titan 2020 Series gaming chairs and laughing about all the hubbub. Then, they claim that Universe Mode is a direct replacement for the sim elements of GM's business suite and leave it at that.

This is a colossal missed opportunity for the developers. Assuming the role of Triple H in 2K21 and leading NXT to ratings success ahead of Raw and SmackDown would feel like slipping into an old pair of shoes gameplay-wise, and it'd be neatly wrapped up in modern-day WWE life thanks to NXT's newfound parity with the 'big two'.

The possibilities are endless here. Imagine being under pressure from FOX bigwigs if SmackDown didn't meet targets, or being able to take Raw to a totally new network home if USA decided that Lana banging Bobby Lashley was low brow.
