WWE 2K15s MyCAREER Mode Details Submitted on: 09/30/2014 by Scott Burress The WWE games series for the past 2 years have had a single player story mode consisting of reliving the past of the Attitude era or playing through the greatest Wrestlemania matches of all-time. This year, 2K Sports is changing up the game and having a My Player mode called My Career, where your created wrestler takes on the rigors of the WWE. My Career is on PS4 and Xbox One only and is the journey of the greatest superstar in WWE history, you. The mode starts off after you create your wrestler (with rather limited options) and you join the WWE Performance Center. Developer 2K Sports nailed the look and feel of the Performance Center with all seven rings, the workout area in the back, and the correct banners on the walls. Bill DeMott is your trainer through this mode; his voice work was great and looks just like himself. He will give you objectives to complete in training matches against other no name potential NXT talent. As you do matches, you gain skill points to upgrade your superstar. The matches will contain actions like Do 10 grapples, Perform your finisher, stuff like that. It felt similar to the Attitude/Wrestlemania story mode matches from the past except youre wrestling in an empty gym against an unknown wrestler with a digitized DeMott yelling at you. After you graduate from the Performance Center you move on to NXT. Here you have William Regal as your GM pushing you to your path of greatness as other NXT superstars like Adrian Neville, Sami Zayn, Bo Dallas and Corey Graves try to stop you. The goal is to have Triple H notice you on the small circuit to eventually get called up to the big time of the WWE. Once you do enough at NXT, you will get called up to the big show and theres where your career truly takes off. Here you will gain rivals and strive for championships, main event pay-per-views, and ultimately Wrestlemania. Dont forget to hire a manager of your choosing to be by your side. Throughout your career you will have rivals pop up to help or stop you. You will see multiple cut scenes like weve seen in Universe Mode in the past. There might be a feud with Daniel Bryan where he gives you a choice: shake his hand with respect or hit him with a low blow. Of course in my career, I hit him with the low blow. The 2K developers stated they have a bunch of different cut scenes and storylines well see unfold in your career over time. You can play this mode as a face (good guy) or as a heel (bad guy), or even go back and forth. Your decisions play a lot into your career and even have surprises outside of your control. In my career, I was 6 years in, had just lost a big match, and the crowd was cheering me on. I was acknowledging them when out of nowhere Brock Lesnars music played, down he came to the ring to give me a monster F5 and Paul Heyman stood over me laughing. This played out over social media next as you have an in-game Twitter account as well, I then got into a Twitter war with Heyman over how he was tweeting I wasnt worthy to face Lesnar. The career is very lengthy and keeps every stat you can imagine over your career and is full of customization. 2K called it a sports RPG hybrid that will evolve with you over your career in the mode. You can lose matches and the story keeps going. Theres no more of the having to replay a match to move through the story, if you lose, it just keeps going. I found that to be one of the bigger plusses of the mode, it felt much more organic and real. This next part is where the room got very excited: Career Invasion. Your biggest rival in My Career may be your best friend. You can export your created My Career superstar once you hit the Raw roster and anyone can download that same wrestler into their career. That wrestler may then show up at opportune moments. Maybe to help you out or to stick a knife in your back, you would never know. In the example given, the imported wrestler didnt show up against the My Career wrestler for a few weeks, but when he did it was to attack the player. This adds a whole new level to the career mode now that your friends can be in there with you. I can already see the trash talking going down when your buddy just screwed you out of the WWE Championship by turning on you in My Career. WWE 2K15 arrives in stores for Xbox 360/PS3 on October 28th in North America and October 31st in Europe and for PS4/Xbox One, it arrives on November 18th in North America and November 21st in Europe. Sting is the exclusive preorder bonus on both versions.
