In a callback to 2Kk14’s successful Undertaker Showcase, instead of playing as the same wrestler for hours, you switch between several legends keeping things fresh as you take on an overpowered Cena most of the time. Starting with RVD at ECW One Night Stand, the mode plays the same as in past years, with objectives leading to archive footage and, ultimately, the victory. You play as Cena’s rivals at various points in his career and are tasked with recreating Cena’s biggest failures. Instead of focusing on Cena’s wins against talents like JBL, Shawn Micheals, and Triple H, they talk about the rare instances where Cena came up short. However, despite most of John Cena’s iconic moments being seared into fans’ brains, 2K flipped the script and made a mode that could have easily gotten stale interesting. The “Ruthless Aggression” debut with Kurt Angle, His feud with Edge, Triple H. So when WWE announced that John Cena would get the honor this year (to coincide with his return to WrestleMania 39), fans could recite at least half of the moments they would be playing. WWE always includes a featured superstar for fans to control in a career retrospective that pays homage to a legend (or legends) in WWE history. Last year about 30 members of the roster did not work for WWE when the game launched, which broke immersion and acted as a sad reminder of the “budget cuts” that fan favorites disappear. The looks aren’t outdated, and the roster reflects the current WWE landscape better. While not faction specific, the 2K23 roster not only looks fantastic, but it is current. The only real changes to the mode are the new arenas and superstars available. 2K enjoys their cards, and the WWE format is conducive to that play style, perhaps more so than any of their other titles. You create and organize your teams to challenge players online or AI in towers to win new cards to improve your team. MyFaction is updated as well but functions exactly the same. This could become a prevalent mode for players who prefer a more straightforward simulation career like last year’s MyRise, as compared to the tremendous changes made to that mode in 2023. Also, the superstar universe mode returns, where you can play through the career of your favorite wrestler in a simulated weekly format. You can also view your superstar’s stats if you’re playing through multiple years. You can still customize rosters, arenas, rivalries teams, and more in the Universe Mode. If you played a ton of WWE 2K22’s Universe and My Faction Mode, then you will be happy to know that both return in this year’s edition and remain almost unchanged.
