WWE 2K20: 8 reasons we still love the WWE 2K games

#4 The historical retrospective Showcase modes

The Daniel Bryan Showcase from WWE 2K19

Speaking of history and legends, one thing the WWE 2K games have been doing lately that I highly approve of involves their "Showcase" modes.

Essentially "story modes", these allow players recreate famous moments in WWE's (or former companies now owned by WWE) past. They usually involve specially recorded commentary, as opposed to the original commentary at the time, which is sometimes unusable for one reason or another.

WWE 2K13 (which, interestingly enough, was the game that coincided with 2K purchasing the rights to the series shortly after the game's release) had a feature that revolved around the period in wrestling during the mid to late 1990s known as the Attitude Era.

Other years had modes that focused on a specific event (such as "Thirty Years of WrestleMania") or specific wrestlers (like Stone Cold Steve Austin or WWE 2K19's Daniel Bryan showcase).

It's uncertain if WWE 2K20 will feature a showcase at all this year, as they haven't announced a single iota about the game yet. But, if they do, let's hope it's as enjoyable as the past years.
