The MyCareer mode in the WWE 2K video games has always been a little hit and miss but the developers have taken on board fan complaints by adding some elements which have been requested for years now. That will start with offering players two very distinct paths to go down; "Company Man" and "Fan Favourite."
"Going down the Company Man path means you're all about helping the general managers (GMs) get what they want out of the roster on any given show," MyCareer designer Ramelle Ballesca says. "This involves conspiring with the GMs backstage, ambushing other WWE Superstars in the locker room or during their interviews, and basically doing whatever it takes to maintain that GM's power, both in the ring and backstage."
As for the Fan Favorite path, that's going to revolve around your in-ring work and performance. "This route involves earning [WWE Superstars'] respect by taking on different match types--night-in and night-out. If you earn their respect, they'll start to give you in-ring bonuses for your matches and promos. If you become the complete package--the guy who can walk the walk and talk the talk like Stone Cold Steve Austin or John Cena--you’ll be able to have your own customized WWE Championship or Universal Championship."
WWE 2K18 is also going to add free-roaming backstage to give players a greater amount of freedom in how they approach their wrestling careers. Instead of looking at a menu to decide who to align with or attack, you'll now be able to talk to them behind the scenes...or ambush them during an interview or something similar.
