Anyway, MyGM is, essentially, a ring for the WWE general managers of pro wrestling. Each manager has a brand to uphold during the weekly shows by way of drafting rosters, managing budgets, signing free agents, booking matches, choosing match types, arena locations, and producing the events, and the duties just go on and on and on. Last year's WWE 2K22 was a very important release for the franchise, successfully overcoming the botched mess of a launch that was WWE 2K20, while also incorporating some key new features such as the addition of the MyGM and MyFaction modes, highly improved visuals, redesigned entrances and much more. WWE 2K23 isn't an overhaul on the same level of last year's game - it instead builds on the foundations that WWE 2K22 set in place, delivering a more meaty and mature experience that's definitely worth your while. It can be played with either men or women superstars, and will feature a plethora of weapons to fight with, as well as the ability to dive off the top of the cageand springboard between rings.

It’s no secret that the strength of WWE games lies in their game modes. Returning to the ring has its perks and adrenaline rush, but almost all other pro-wrestlers like Fire Pro and No Mercy will guarantee a good time in the ring. What sets WWE apart, though, is the stellar modes it offers and the consequent renovations that were done to elevate the experience further. In the WWE 2K23 Showcase modeyou play through the key moments and toughest opponents of John Cena’s storied career. WWE 2K23 builds on last year's already impressive effort to deliver arguably the best wrestling game Xbox fans have ever seen. The gameplay feels smoother and more entertaining than ever, nearly all of the game modes have received welcome improvements, WarGames is a fantastic addition to the array of match types, and this is ultimately the most enjoyment we've had with the series in well over a decade. It's still a little rough around the edges in some places, but you'll most likely be having too much fun to care. A new Finisher Situation has been added, now allowing you to perform in-ring Springboard moves as finishers, such as for the Cody Cutter. Spanning his 20-year WWE career and narrated by Cena himself, this interactive documentary transitions between gameplay and live-action footage to bring pivotal moments in each match to life. WWE 2K23 MyGM ModeNOTE: This list will be updated in the future as more hidden characters are discovered or released by 2K. Character / Attire The ultimate WWE Universe sandbox that puts players in charge of their own version of WWE, from Superstar rosters, feuds, champions, weekly shows, and Premium Live Events!

This is the full list of alternate attires for Superstars & Legends that have been included in WWE 2K23 exclusively in the MyFaction or MyRise game modes, or that are present as hidden models in the game files. WarGames are two huge rings put side by side in a cage. With two players from opposing teams to start, a new wrestler from each team joins the fun every few minutes, one at a time, until they get to 3-on-3 or 4-on-4 single or multiplayer mode. For the single-player mode, the controls can get a little confusing, especially with the TV view the franchise is going for. However, there’s no denying the chaotic madness and ridiculousness that could potentially become an absolutely fun-filled night with friends. Although it’s a good initiative, MyRISE, even from previous entries, needs much work to compete with today’s story modes. The voice acting is wanting, and the dialogue can drag on for longer than a while. You at least get distracted by the option to make choices that affect the story’s outcome. However, it’s still insufficient to call it the main spectacle story. With MyGM, take the reins of a weekly show and compete against rival general managers for brand supremacy.

Incredibly realistic graphics, animations, camera angles, and lighting, plus accessible controls and a new optional pinning mechanic will add to the highly immersive experience. WWE 2K23: New Gameplay Upgrades

As mentioned, there are still areas of improvement that could be made to all of these game modes, such as MyFaction providing more meaningful reasons to show off your cards, and Universe implementing better AI to help develop more immersive rivalries. A similar thing could also be said of the John Cena focused Showcase mode, which is great in terms of the real life footage and how it transitions into the game, but its objective-heavy focus can occasionally grow tiresome at times as it did last year. On the whole though, we're really happy with WWE 2K23's selection of game modes, which are guaranteed to keep us busy for potentially hundreds of hours. Speaking of fluidity, 2K has really pulled off some great work when it comes to the menu design and speedier loading times in WWE 2K23 (MyRise aside), giving the game a true AAA quality feel. This obviously extends to the gameplay presentation too, where the graphical enhancements of last year have been bolstered once again. This is especially evident in entrances, where the character models, video trons, arena designs and lighting are all given a spotlight... you'd be forgiven for getting a few goosebumps from time to time during some of these sequences! Play through the key moments and toughest opponents of John Cena’s storied 20-year WWE career.
