MyCareer was a joke in 2K16. Impossible to finish it truly. And the achievements? Gah, don't even get me started. It just can't be done - buying all managers, maxing out all skills.

I also hope that we get maybe more than 3 rivalry options, like 5, 4 rivalries for titles, and 1 rivalry for just for fun.

Without any kind of story/showcase mode it makes this game an easy pass for me. This will be the first WWE game I don't buy.

Universe mode is pretty lacking, My Career is a boring chore. Showcase was actually well done - hey, let's take out Showcase!
If they don't make Universe better, if they don't make My Career actually enjoyable, if they don't fix the PS4 CAW crashing, what the hell have they actually done?
They may surprise us - they may let us down. 2K certainly hasn't been the panacea that many thought they would be - not me, though.

The article says that the removal of the Showcase mode is to place more effort behind enhancing the modes that are currently lacking. It's only been two years, but I've enjoyed playing the 2K games more than I had other WWE games in a long time. To me 2K16, while not perfect has a lot of replay value for me and will actually tide me over until 2K17 is released. To each their own though.

I don't mind showcase being removed, since I unlock everything from the start. It was cool seeing moments recreated, but it's not something I need.
Hopefully career is better. I liked it, but can admit it got boring once you got to the main shows. Facing the same guy every week, and then at the ppv, and then doing the same thing with someone else the next week. I'd like way more storyline options to keep you busy. And to hell with those authority challenges wanting you to lose matches on purpose, or use abilities you haven't even been able to unlock yet.

i've been wanting this for years...for them to stop pouring so much money and dev time into the Showcase mode, to focus on other things. I remember it started bothering me back in the THQ era, when i read some interview where Corey Ledesma mentioned that 90% of what he did, was work on Showcase mode. That was always the big push..and the big selling point for them.
I can't believe they're actually doing it.
im pleased as punch

Prior to that it was just original stuff for story mode. |

I was looking forward to Showcase Mode if Kurt Angle was available, but i guess since he was still under contract with TNA and did not have a deal where he could lend his use to other companies, he wasn't able to. Without Angle, the Lesnar showcase would have been useless. I like the focus being more on Universe and MyCareer. I also hope that even though they couldn't do Showcase, that they put in a few wrestlers and arenas that would have been in the Showcase that are able to make the game. Example, Eddie Guerrero, retro Cena, the Ruthless Aggression RAW and Smackdown arenas, etc. The roster to me doesn't sound too good if they're just bringing in wrestlers from past games and we don't get anything new other than the wrestlers that came in after the game was made.

This has the potential to be one of the best wwe games from 2k. I'm looking forward to hearing more about this promo feature.

I feel like I'm the only person who never asked for promos in Universe mode. Unless they have some kind of function in relation to gameplay they'll be useless to me. If not and they can't be skipped or turned off that might actually ruin the mode for me. It depends on how much time they would take.

No promos is what pretty much killed Universe Mode for me the last few years. Due to no promos, Rivals always had to be physical through cutscenes or stupid endless rematches week after week. This Promo Engine could make Universe my main mode.
Something that would be really nice for CAW Mode is 4 Attires per CAW again.

It might sound weird but sometime I had to switch out the CAW just so I could have different attires. |

Promos are imperative in my opinion. I'm so psyched about them really pouring it into universe I just can't wait. I haven't been excited about a WWE game in at least five years. without promos and show structure, Universe was essentially exhibition minus breakout, but plus five cutscenes... and you had to play the same match every week (hopefully that changes). Without promos everyone was generic and nobody had any character or personality. Factions were pointless, and everyone is the same with different moves. you have a guy attack the opponent one match, then begin with a handshake the next. it's been brutal. I'm not saying its going to be perfect, but the fact that they are making these changes is definitely a huge step in the right direction, and long overdue.
What's scary, as much as I wanted Angle in this game, if they had gotten him and the others they likely would've put everything into showcase again, and made zero improvements to Universe AGAIN. It's been largely untouched since they introduced it in 2011 (I think). Every year when game details begin to surface I always leave pissed off, since all I play is Universe, and in my opinion, the games themselves have never been as good without GM Mode and/or story designer. Sorry, but I'm glad showcase is gone and I hope they never bring it back. It was a waste of money. Universe is the mode that should feel like actual WWE television.
