GM Mode in WWE 2K22
The General Manager Mode was a hugely popular game mode in theWWE SmackDown vs. Rawgames. This game mode enabled players to manage their brands, trade superstars, and booking matches. Players loved the game mode and despite its popularity, it hasn’t appeared inWWEgames for years.WWE 2K22presents an opportunity to bring it back, and GM Mode is the most requested feature from the community.
GM Mode was a staple of theSmackDown vs. Rawgames, and fans are eager to see it make a return. GM Mode is currently the most requested feature from theWWEcommunity. User creation options feature throughout the community’s popular requests, including the ability to make arenas and custom entrance music. Gameplay-related improvements feature frequently throughout as well, with some fans looking for improved AI, better physics, and improvements to submission-based wrestling. While some suggestions would undoubtedly improve the game, perhaps none would be as impactful as bringing back the GM Mode.
Though thereturn of the GM Mode has been teased before, it has never materialized. Bringing back the much-loved mode from theSmackDown vs. Rawdays could be a great way of restoring players' faith in the franchise afterWWE 2K20’s ill-received launch. The return of GM Mode is perhaps the ultimate fan wish for the series for years now, and Visual Concepts could stand to gain a lot of goodwill with its return. Thanks to there being three brands, the GM Mode would have a lot of potential for multiplayer. A player could take control of a show and compete with the other player-controlled brands, Raw, SmackDown, and NXT.
While GM Mode hasn’t been confirmed, the fans have made their voices heard about the return of the game mode.Fans have already voted onWWE 2K22’s cover stars, so perhaps there is a chance that Visual Concepts will listen to fans pleas about the General Manager Mode. Visual Concepts have released several behind-the-scenes videos forWWE 2K22, offering gamers transparency into the process of making the game. Hopefully, the developer will bring back the sought-after GM Mode.
WWE 2K22is currently in development and will be released in 2021.
