I messed around quite a bit with the create modes in 2k19 and one notable absence was editable crown signs. It would be easy to add sign customisation using the existing tools, or they could just allow custom image files. More names that the ring announcer can say would also be really good.
I agree that all match types should be available for female wrestlers. They used to not allow first blood matches for them either, but that is another thing that they might just remove entirely.
More attires, moves and other customisation options are always going to be good. The one thing they can't really add is entrance music - they have legal hoops to jump through to add music (or any reference) for anyone who isn't currently on roster, and it doesn't make sense to spend all of the time that it takes to record more than a handful of generic tracks.
A couple of years ago there was an intergender match in a main event:
Kurt Angle & Rhonda Rousey vs. HHH & Stephanie McMahon.
So they can´t play the violence card when they were comfortable beating women on TV on their own.
I would be more than happy to have a ton of generic tracks as I don´t care for music linked to a real wrestler. Makes creating new wrestlers easier when the music fits the gimmick.
My custom roster is mostly made up of female Tag-Teams. Problem is that there is a SINGLE entrance motion for female Tag-Team wrestlers. To avoid the incredible dull presentation all but one team needs to enter the arena separately. So I need to either have more entrances for Tag-Teams or single wrestlers.
Yes, more names is also a good one. I tend to avoid naming wrestlers with names which the announcer hasn´t learned to speak.
But I fear the emphasis of the game will be only on graphics, real wrestlers and the career mode.
