WWE 2K MyCareer could learn a lot from Here Comes The Pain Season Mode

Page 1 of 6

When it comes to taking WWE Games to heart, I’ve always been mostly a Gameplay/Creations guy. But then I played MyCareer. And after seeing how much of a grind it is and how many basic functionalities were overlooked or just poorly thought through, I personally couldn’t "let it go" and that inspired me to put together this write-up.

I read MyCareer feedbacks and criticism and I’ve seen people coming up with great ideas and wishlists for new features, but with this I want to first focus on fixing what’s just plain wrong/broken and building a solid foundation for the mode for WWE 2K18 and beyond, on which new features and improvements could then be added on top. Plus, it’s going to be a super long read already… But I promise you it will be worth it.

Making MyCareer the Main Story Mode

With 2K Showcase now gone, I believe MyCareer should become the main mode of the game, which means it needs to evolve into a full-fledged story mode. And for that to happen, I feel like MyCareer could learn a lot from SmackDown! Here Comes The Pain Season Mode, for those who remember.

Character Selection & Starting Point

You need to have the option to pick ANYONE as your Character for MyCareer. Not just Created Superstars, literally any WWE Superstar on the in-game roster including Women.



for MyCareer. Not just Created Superstars, literally any WWE Superstar on the in-game roster including Women. Players should have the option of choosing a “Starting Point” for your Career Rookie : starts with low attributes, has to go through developmental and NXT Superstar: starts on the Main Roster and keeps original attributes and stats



If you decide to “jump-start” as a Superstar instead of starting as a Rookie, you would have the downside of not being able to earn all MyCareer Trophies (like NXT trophies etc. ) during that career. Obviously you still have the option to have multiple careers saves running at the same time, 3 slots like it is now is more than fine.
