The popular WWE 2K<\/a><\/strong> franchise is making a comeback this year. After an erratic delivery in 2020, 2K Games decided not to release a new edition of its wrestling game in 2021, using its sabbatical year to fix all its past mistakes. And the results are nothing short of remarkable: WWE 2K22<\/a><\/strong> definitely meets the quality standards we would expect of a game in the franchise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re already playing it, keep reading this article to learn 5 tricks to be king of the ring in WWE 2K22<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n

  1. Master the new controls<\/h2>\"\"

    <\/p>\n

    As we mentioned, many aspects of the 2022 edition have improved. And it couldn\u2019t have been otherwise, considering that the 2020 game was a technical disaster<\/strong>. That\u2019s why the first thing they did was rebuild the game engine.<\/p>\n

    Visual Concepts, the developer of the title, redesigned all the gameplay and the animation engine from the ground up. The change isn\u2019t huge, but the new display forces us to change our strategic approach to the game<\/strong>, as reflected in the controls.<\/p>\n

    Since WWE 2K22 is heavily combo<\/strong> based, we recommend initiating combat via simple attacks<\/strong> using the square or x button on Xbox. Once you’ve done a series of basic hits, then you can branch into heavy attacks or grabs with the other buttons. That way, through a sequence of light and heavy blows, you\u2019ll be sure to inflict more damage.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    As you may have noticed, this is common in fighting games<\/a>, and now WWE 2K22 is applying the formula. And that brings us to our next tip: check out tutorial mode<\/strong> to learn how to master the new controls.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>

  2. Be careful in MyFaction mode<\/h2>\"\"

    <\/p>\n

    In this edition, 2K Games has added MyFaction, a game mode similar to FIFA <\/a><\/strong>Ultimate Team…<\/p>\n

    with all that it entails. My Faction is full of cards and items to be obtained using in-game currency as well as real money. In other words, it has the same dangerous loot box mechanism as other video games in the market.<\/p>\n

    There are three ways to obtain MyFaction points: by completing matches and challenges<\/strong>; by collecting MyFaction Tokens<\/strong>, which can be used in the Token Rewards market to unlock legend and superstar cards; and using the game\u2019s virtual currency<\/strong>, which is purchased with real money.<\/p>\n

    Obviously, we recommend completely avoiding the last option and focusing on the first two, since they are the ones built into the game’s own mechanics. We know it\u2019s hard, and these modes are designed to get you to spend money to go further in the game, but go for the missions and challenges first (by the way, it\u2019s best to use \u201cEvolution\u201d cards, the fastest track to stardom and success).<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>

  3. Set MyGM mode for the maximum number of weeks<\/h2>\"\"

    <\/p>\n

    Sometimes complaining gets things done. WWE 2K22 players complained to the studio and publisher, begging them to bring back General Manager Mode<\/strong>. No sooner said than done! This time, Visual Concepts has rechristened it MyGM<\/strong>, but it\u2019s essentially the same thing.<\/p>\n

    This mode lets players choose one of the five available Managers or create their own<\/strong>. Then they can select superstars, budgets, sponsors and stadiums, set ticket prices, sign free agents and much more. You\u2019ll become the showrunner, but there\u2019s a catch: it only lasts one season<\/strong>. Then it\u2019s over, and you can\u2019t continue endlessly like in Football Manager.<\/a><\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    But here\u2019s a tip: as WWE 2K22 lets you choose how long your championship will last, we recommend selecting the maximum duration, \u201c50 weeks,\u201d<\/strong> in the settings menu. Since MyGM is limited to a single season, you can use this option to prolong<\/strong> General Manager mode as much as possible.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>

  4. Download the wrestlers you can\u2019t find<\/h2>\"\"

    <\/p>\n

    Community Creations<\/strong> have become almost universal in WWE 2K games. Although they have been missing from some editions, they are back by popular demand in WWE 2K22, at the players\u2019 request.<\/p>\n

    And \u201cCommunity Creations\u201d is exactly what the name suggests, that is, wrestlers created by players<\/strong>. Using this option, we can choose from a wide variety of combatants, but the classic superstars we miss will be available as well.<\/p>\n

    Although WWE 2K22 will be adding downloadable content, including new wrestlers, we recommend searching for them first in Community Creations. What’s more, they\u2019re free!<\/strong><\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>

  5. Don\u2019t skip MyRise mode<\/h2>\"\"

    <\/p>\n

    We know for a fact that people tend to skip MyRise<\/strong> mode in sports games, but don’t make that mistake. In WWE 2K22, MyRise has been revamped with more dialogue options, customizations for designing your wrestler, more freedom in decision making and much more.<\/p>\n

    This is also the case of the Rey Mysterio Showcase<\/strong>, one of wrestling’s most famous characters. So, be sure to check it out. It\u2019s fun, and you\u2019ll unlock a number of features upon completing this mode.<\/p>\n
