Moreover, 2K studios have released the game after not publishing any of the 2K titles for 2021. Looking at the features announced, it seems like the wait is going to be worth it.

The game will be a major advancement in the 2K series as a wide array of features and game modes have been announced for the first time. That said, it would be great if the installment introduces a few more features that fans want to see.

#5 in our list of things that fans want to see in WWE 2K22 - Every match type and exciting stipulations

WWE has always been renowned for its variety of matches. From the ladder matches to buried alive contests, Vince McMahon's promotion has not shied away from doing anything possible to entertain fans.

However, since its transition to PG Era, WWE has reduced its experiments with these matches. The same was reflected in its games as several match types have been removed from the game over the years.

The fans want WWE 2K22 to have every match type possible and, of course, in the best way possible. Ladder matches, Royal Rumble, Elimination Chamber, Gauntlet matches, Inferno, Buried Alive, Casket, Lumberjack, I Quit, Guest referee, Ambulance match, Hell in a Cell, and even Punjabi Prison are on the wishlist.

The game developers had already admitted their desire to reintroduce these match types by specifically mentioning the special guest referee match.

The game can also introduce an exciting set of stipulations including Loser Leaves Town, hair vs hair, number one contender matches and loads more.

Let's wait and see how many match types and stipulations we will be able to play in 2K22.

#4. The General Manager should manage finances as well

2k studios have finally granted fans what they have demanded for years. A full-blown General Manager mode has already been announced. Players can choose anyone from Sonya Deville, Adam Pearce, Shane, and Stephanie McMahon to control any one of the brands in WWE.

However, it seems unlikely that the gamers will be able to manage finances as the GM. It would've been great if the manager was given a fixed amount to maintain the show and had to manage the salaries of the staff and other expenses, earning on the basis of sales of the tickets.

Furthermore, WWE 2K22 should have had a feature to make any superstar as GM rather than the predetermined four. After all, who wouldn't want to play Stone Cold Steve Austin as RAW Sheriff?


#3. Can WWE 2K22 showcase more blood?

As mentioned already, WWE's PG Era has largely affected 2K games. In SmackDown: Here comes the pain, one could ride in a helicopter and perform a diving clothesline from above.

But even bloodshed has become a rare phenomenon in recent installments. It would be wonderful to watch a bloodbath when playing a contest between two Ruthless Aggression superstars, say, Batista and John Cena.

#2. The best career mode possible

WWE 2K22 has announced an extensive career mode, which they declare to be better than ever. Looking at their confidence, it appears that their statement will turn out to be true on March 11th.

The kind of features they have added to the mode is a question that will be answered sooner rather than later. However, fans certainly have their expectations regarding the mode.

An entirely customizable career where our character can do whatever we want, of course to certain limits, will be received very well. Creating a talk show like Miz TV for John Cena or interfering in the opponent's matches are a few of the prospects that may be present in WWE 2K22 or a future installment.

#1. WWE 2K games should tease existence of a rival promotion

Ad

WWE almost monopolized the professional wrestling scenario until the introduction of AEW. All Elite Wrestling is a legit rival to Vince McMahon's company, and it would be huge if the WWE 2K22 teases something like this.

It doesn't need to mention AEW or any other promotion at all. Rather, the game can tease that there is a rival wrestling promotion that WWE is meant to compete against.

The intensity of MyGM mode will increase drastically as a manager will have to work upon the contracts of its superstars as they may move onto rival promotion.

With all the talk of the forbidden door, we may be able to see such a feature. Perhaps WWE 2K22 may not introduce the tease but let's hope for the best and maybe 2K23 will hear the word.
