I've gone balls deep in WWE2k25
Roster this year is amazing.
I only have a couple of minus points for it, first off it looks like they removed the Wolfpac theme (although that could potentially be remedied through a Wolfpac MyFaction pack) and a slight complaint about DLC, having 2 unnamed celebrities and 3 unnamed basketball players. I'd rather those spots be used on actual wrestlers such as Goldberg, Rhyno etc
Now the negative aside, this years addition offers so much. The MyRise (story mode) is fantastic. I've already finished it, and on my second playthrough, selecting different options in the playthrough. It differs the experience quite a bit, and you unlock different things depending on your choices, so a good reason to replay the mode....and it's actually fun.
They fixed up the GM mode from last year, by fixing up the draft pool and also increasing your budget. Instead of struggling to sign say 10 wrestlers, you can comfortable sign 18/19 and still have funds to run shows.
MyFaction seems better as well. Added is a Global Tour mode, where you run through towers across different locations and you earn packs. Most the towers have a persona card as well. Persona cards unlock different versions of wrestlers into the base game.
The Showcase centres about the Bloodline, and is the typical one and done sorta mode. I'm maybe a third of the way through. Once I've finished it, I can't ever see myself playing through it again but there is alot to unlock from it. Haku is in!
I mentioned the negatives about the DLC, but this year has a few surprises! Abyss from TNA is in despite never wrestling in WWE. The performer does work for WWE so that makes sense. New Jack is included! I never thought we'd see him in a game. Most surprisingly is Billy Gunn! Despite being in AEW, he is in. First time in, potentially forever that we have ALL of DX in the same game. We'll also be getting the likes of Motor City Machine Guns, Penta, Sid, Jesse Ventura, Tito Santana, Mark Henry, D-Low Brown.
