WWE 2K22: 10 Things 2K Must Get Right

4. GM Mode

Or "MyGM", as they're calling it.

Gamers have been waiting a generation for this, so MyGM better not be Universe Mode with a few extra bells and whistles. Lines from 2K's presser like, "managing contracts and booking matches" caught the eye, in fairness - it does look like this management sim mode will be a good laugh.

Little details from some of the screenshots leaked do seem promising too. Each show has a specific budget that you'll need to work within, and that'll mean some tough decisions may have to be made throughout the year. Bring that sort of immersive depth on, because it's sorely needed.

It'd be splendid if MyGM didn't end up being something players fiddle around with for an hour or two before getting bored. Hopefully (pretty please), it has staying power and can become the go-to single player mode for those who dislike Showcase, MyCareer/MyRISE and Universe.

A proper GM Mode could cure a lot of 2K's ills.
