While publisher 2K and developer Visual Concepts have yet to announce the next entry in theWWE 2Kfranchise, it’s a good bet thatWWE 2K24is currently in development. The series has seen a successful stride inWWE 2K22andWWE 2K23after the disastrous launch inWWE 2K20, but player expectations have been made clear too. With each new release, fans expect core gameplay improvements, better match types, the usualShowcase Mode like John Cena’s inWWE 2K23, general quality of life improvements across the board, and so forth. This includesWWE 2K24’s presumed MyGM Mode building on what came before.
WWE 2K23’s MyGM Modeis a ton of fun, as players compete against friends or CPUs to be the best-rated brand. Players are able to draft their favorite stars, tell stories in their own heads, and feel like they are managing everything in a run-up to WrestleMania, and then everything resets. The sheer fun factor may be enough to driveWWE 2K23fans through multiple seasons, but ifWWE 2K24is going to innovate, it may want to look at each season players go through. In fact, a “scenarios” feature would go a long way in ensuring thatWWE 2K24’s MyGM Mode could be one of the best yet.

Scenarios Would Give WWE 2K24’s MyGM Mode More Variety
As an example,The Sims 4features various scenariosplayers can go through. Befitting its zany nature, this can include things like earning enough simoleons to get the avatar’s parents back from some aliens, tackling the parenting problems of two sims with unruly children, or taking on the role of a power couple racing to become CEOs. While there are plenty more than that, it ensures that players have something new to do in these playthroughs, with many of them having multiple story endings. Translated toWWE 2K24, players could tackle a new “scenario” with perhaps each season or overall run ofWWE 2K24’s MyGM Mode.
The management foundation ofWWE 2K24’s MyGM Mode is sound enough to support this, while it could let players tell better stories. Perhaps it could even ensure better ratings when a pairing fits the ongoing scenario, freeing players somewhat from the dichotomy of Bruiser vs. Fighter, Cruiser vs. Giant, and so forth. It could really elevate the storytelling ofWWE 2K24’s MyGM Mode, giving players a more detailed “Creative” role too. Some scenarios may impose restrictions, like the number of possible brands, but sometimes working with restrictions is the best way to force creativity. Some possible examples include…
There’s plenty of potential for single-star scenarios, group scenarios, or GM-specific scenarios that could make this a lot of fun. Just asWWE 2K23’s MyRise mode introduced The Lock and The Legacy(withWWE 2K24’s MyRise mode likely having new stories), these could be simulated with “lock” characters or modern vs. legend scenarios. Some could even be pulled straight from this history of the gaming franchise or from the WWE, but whatWWE 2K24ultimately does with MyGM Mode remains to be seen.
