WWE 2K22: 10 Things GM Mode Must Get Right
1. Realism
Finally, this.
The old GM Modes in SmackDown vs. Raw are heralded, and rightly so, but they did go a bit wonky at points. Look above to see an example; that screenshot shows John Cena vs. Kelly Kelly on SmackDown, which...well, that was never going to happen, was it?
2K need to make sure that realism is nailed on in 2K22. Their algorithms can't go daft and start booking Roman Reigns in the SmackDown Women's division, or think that Omos is ideal for a run at the NXT Cruiserweight Title. That'd break the immersion this mode is supposed to forge.
This has been an age-old problem with WWE games. The early SmackDown titles back in the early-2000s were well-known for ridiculous Paul Bearer title pushes or absurd angles pitting Steve Austin vs. Trish Stratus. That can't be allowed to happen in this remake.
