WWE 2K26 has received mostly mixed reactions with some praise for the polished in-ring mechanics, while others criticized the Showcase Mode for its lack of innovation.

These criticisms and praises should help the creators to make adjustments to the next video game for the company.

From returning modes to additions to gameplay, there is a lot that can change to make the upcoming WWE 2K27 game better than the previous version.

Here are six potential changes to WWE 2K27.

6. Improvements To The Creation Suite

One of the elements of WWE 2K games that is always ever changing is the Creation Suite.

Whether it be for Superstars or Arenas, the Creation Suite is a great tool for gamers to express their creativity and reimagine different things from the actual WWE television product in the game.

There are a few key restrictions in the Creation Suite from limited image storage to several different issues with customization.

These improvements will make the Creation Suite even more versatile for gamers to get more use out of the mode.

5. Adjustments To The Gameplay

The gameplay in WWE 2K is something that is always tweaked from year to year.

Looking to give gamers the most realistic experience when they play seems to always be the goal of the creators of the video game.

Despite all the changes over the years, there are still problems with stiff animations, weapon interactions and a restrictive combo system when competing inside the squared circle.

Considering how much has improved for the gameplay, these adjustments will allow for a more enhanced experience for all those who purchase WWE 2K27.

4. New Version Of MyFaction Mode

MyFaction mode is not a part of the game that always gets talked about a lot following the release.

To some fans, it has become useless due to the inability to use rewards outside of the mode.

Wanting to make this a more enticing mode for gamers, changes or a completely new version of the mode might be necessary.

Making MyFaction more accessible should be a priority to make this mode more attractive for all.

3. More Options & Creativity For The Match Types

When playing WWE 2K, many fans love to go straight into the ring to compete with their favorite stars from the roster.

Jumping into the gameplay, some fans tend to find the match types quite limited or needing more options.

Needing more multi-man matches or improved physics when more characters are used would be quite helpful.

Meanwhile, many fans are looking for the return of popular stipulations like Buried Alive and the Stretcher Matches, so hopefully WWE 2K27 can make these additions.

2. Road To WrestleMania Mode Returns

The Showcase Mode is one of the most highlighted sections of WWE 2K over the past few years.

Whether it be the CM Punk or Rey Mysterio modes, these have gotten mixed reviews in the past few editions.

Wanting to bring back a favorite of gamers from years past, WWE should consider bringing back the popular Road to WrestleMania mode.

Having gamers choose their favorite WWE stars and play through a more detailed mode specifically centered around what their character is makes sense and feels like the right way to go.

1. A More Unpredictable Universe Mode

One of the longest enduring modes in the WWE video games over the years has been the Universe Mode.

Controlling the entirety of the WWE experience, Universe Mode puts the power in the gamers’ hands to have a say in every element of the shows.

However, this mode has become mundane and lacking the creativity that was first seen when it was introduced in the 2010s.

Changes like ditching repetitive cutscenes and improved drafting mechanics that have been used in the past could be beneficial for the Universe Mode and make it one of the most played for WWE 2K27.
