The only success I had with this match was when I hit my finishing or signature move to run at the tag partner and knock them off the apron to allow me to score the win. The tag team matches go on way too long due to the fact that your opponents will always manage to break up your pin or submission attempt with your tag partner always missing a beat and not stopping them. While I really enjoyed my time with the My Rise portion of the game, I couldn’t help but hate the fact there were so many tag team matches and stories put together for time padding. It’s the same with the Legacy My Rise section of the game except you start off as the niece of a former (made up) WWE wrestler who is given a chance but at the expense of the locker room’s respect that you haven’t paid your dues. But after you finish them, there is always a main storyline you are aiming to complete. Some of them can be a lot of fun, but some will ultimately miss the mark. These are all optional but if you want to build your character to the max, it’s best to give these a go. Gaining success right away, not only are you fighting against others who want to knock you down, but you are arguing with management over your career and where it is heading.įor both of the careers in WWE 2K23 you will encounter side missions that will take you off to a side story, some are quick single-match deals where you can earn upgrade points and attribute points where as some of them may take part in a tournament or month-long story. ![]() With both having two different origin stories, The Lock is a WWE appointed ‘next big thing’ in the company, where you play a gimmick role you are not too fond of from the start. This year career modes are called ‘The Lock’ and ‘The Legacy’ where the Lock story mode is a male character and the Legacy is a female. Sure it’s fun creating your own characters and living the dream, but sometimes I just want to take a favourite and jump right into it. I must admit, I miss this way of gaming in the WWE games. Where you will create your own wrestler and take them from mediocrity to main event status.įrom the days back on the PlayStation 2 to the end of the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 days, these would consist of taking your favourite WWE Superstar and have them ultimately do the same thing. ![]() This portion of the game is the career mode of the WWE 2K23 series. I had an absolute blast with the Showcase mode as it was informative and fun to replay these matches against the 16 time World Champion. He will go in-depth about his feelings and lessons learnt at that point in his career. John’s insights into these matches are articulate and genuinely interesting to listen to. The main part I loved about the Showcase mode in WWE 2K23 was the commentary by John Cena before the match starts. However, the small learning curve of learning each wrestler’s move set for every new match did take some getting used to but ultimately I feel this was for the best. I must say I really enjoyed not playing the same character for the many matches you will take part in, it was refreshing. With a few of John’s main feuds over the years, there were a few omissions, this is understandable seeing as WWE is no longer the only show in town and certain wrestlers are contracted elsewhere. ![]() I don’t mind these areas but sometimes I really just wanted to do these myself. Some maybe just a quick section while some may end the match entirely. When you get to a certain section of the match, the gameplay will switch over to achieved footage of the original match and let it play through some of the matches. I must admit, I needed this a few times during my playtime in Showcase mode. If you are not sure how to activate a certain section, have no fear! You are easily able to access the menu button where there will be instructions on how to complete these tasks. Gameplay will consist of hitting certain spots during the match such as beating the opponent down in a certain way or performing a certain move. The intros to each character look realistic at times This year not much changed with Showcase section – except that instead of playing as John Cena, you play as his opponents in the matches he lost. Showcase normally has you playing out a wrestler’s best matches by setting goals to complete in the matches, to set off big ‘spots’ that occurred during the contest. ![]() The Showcase section of the game is where WWE 2K23 will aim to focus on a wrestler’s career, This year it features the one and only John Cena.
