Okay but MyCareer is next(or should we call it current)-gen so having 2K Showcase for PS3 and X360 as the only mode would've made the game too shallow, haven't been a fan of Universe but having it is better than not.

When you base the career mode on W/L records, it turns into a "UFC Type Mode" where all you do is try to win as fast as you can. WWE 2K15 can really make a difference by going with the Performance based matches and have one of the best wrestling games of all time.

Would be nice if it was based on what the Booker wants. So if your told to lose and hit certain spots you progress faster. Only issue I would have would be it would see very pre determined as far as career path.

That would be awesome. Make it about the experience

If 2K is basing the mode off of the current MyCareer model from the current gen version of 2K14 then its going to be heavily scripted which is bad plus it has voice acting which means its going to be headed one way. The worst thing that happened to WWE games was the addition of voice actors. In the old games when they just used text it opened up a lot more avenues for the story to go. Now because of the recorded voices it all leads to one way.

Universe needs a lot of work and THQ never put that much work into it. Whenever they did they always ruined it someway. The mode has a lot of potential to be very good and have a lot of replay value. But cutscenes are never shown and if they are you get 3 of the same cutscene all the way. Branching storylines never occur. In 2K14 every RAW match in a feud was a Extreme Rules match and the guys wrestled on every show.

There's a lot of ways they can go with the rivalries.

1. Austin/Rock
2. Austin/McMahon
3. Hogan/Savage
4. WCW/WWE (I refuse to give up on it, lol)

Those are just some of the ones that I feel have to be in the running for this mode.

#4 is my vote. That would make me so happy

This is one area I hope 2K digs into. I think that adding editable personality "tendencies" would go a long way towards allowing us to create our own dynamic universe. Think of it like the player tendencies on NBA 2K. We could create the perfect personality template for how we want the player to behave in our WWE universe. Things like interference; high flyers or brutes; using weapons; teaming up or being a loner; heel or face. "Roles" like Main Eventer, who would stay in storylines involving the world title or only have rivalries with other top stars; or Mid Card guys who would compete for the lesser titles. Rising Stars who would be working their way up the roster fighting jobbers and mid card types. Tag Team, which would be guys who team and stay that way unless we change it. We could turn Cena into a Mid Carder if we like and we wouldn't have to worry about him being in the title hunt. We could "promote" whomever we like. It would go a long way in keeping the mode fresh.
