![]() ![]() ![]() The authority figure this time is active backstage producer, Molly Holly, who happens to be your aunt’s tag team partner turned long-time rival. The Legacy is difficult to play into, as you’re forced into a couple of losses early on and have to somehow play off of being the niece of someone completely fictitious. Playing into these things for the story makes it work a thousand times better than it would otherwise, and it is a good slow burn. Though on the work-rate return to the indies and after being fired by Shawn, I changed his entire persona to be an “I’m a better Shawn Micheals” type, even adoring a white coat with “The True” followed by Micheals’ Heartbreaker icon. He looked like a flippy throwback, and with that, the classic Intercontinental belt appeared on Danny Prince’s tights like Rick Rude would do to his opponents. Taking that story I made the typical indie star, based on Matt and Nick from the other company. All while feuding with management, which in this case is Shawn Micheals. The Lock’s story is about being the next big thing, winning the Intercontinental Championship, getting a bit cocky and losing, and getting fired, making the Drew and Cody comeback. When you are fired and sent to the indies, it seems like it is just there to get in the way at first, but this is what I mean by the roleplay element. In fact, this year’s MyRise stories are actually quite fun and are a marked improvement upon whatever the glue-sniffing nonsense was before. This is far more grounded than bionic arms and Bray Wyatt in a gas mask with the zombie head of creative. That and “The Lock’s” mentor Tavish sounds like Dick Van Dyke and a Prince of Thieves that Kevin Costner definitely wasn’t. Thankfully you don’t have to do anything with advertising processed food. One notable point was in The Legacy story of MyRise as you are asked via social media to look after Lacy Evans’ kids. The curtain is somewhat pulled back by both MyRise and MyGM as you book matches and play some out-of-the-box rivalries. I understand the point that for a story to be told you need to lose just as you win, but in both The Lock and The Legacy it is done with all sincerity. Where MyRise is a touch revisionist and fantasy-ladened, the roleplay component comes into effect and sometimes frustrates when forcing a finish on you. The Legacy story focuses on being the niece of a several-time Women’s World Champion that made her name in 2002. I get it for some of the MyRise stories, as you see a depth of roster that is greater than reality. You’d choke on the smoke it tries to blow in your face. This year includes more match types and a greater level of diversity in terms of the championships you can book, though I think it is still trying to play wizard after the curtain has been pulled back. I’ve lamented many times before that a GM mode with some level of complexity is my main request. MyRise includes two separate stories and GM mode is supposed to be enhanced over its reintroduction last year. Showcase mode isn’t the only change this year though. Of course, that summer in Chicago isn’t a highlight. Jokes aside, it is interesting to stand across from John instead of playing as him while he narrates the career he’s had with select matches. Though you are facing off with Vin Diesel’s very white brother instead of playing as the cover star this time. This year’s showcase mode is focused around some anime fan called The Prototype, who would command and conquer WWE for the better part of 20 years. In fact, 2K23 is also taking some potshots that I think some would otherwise find brazen if Terra Ryzing wasn’t terraforming Titan Towers. This possibly makes 2K23 the most concurrent state of the business in the games. The first of the Big papa H era, there is only one major example of someone that technically is in the game and was very clearly pulled out around December (and returned in January). WWE 2K23 might not be adding a whole guest/pool house onto the foundations of 2K22 but maybe a small conservatory and some paint to freshen up the walls. Roto does not appear in the first level.The current tagline for F1 seems to be “Evolution, not revolution.” This a great way to explain the latest edition of WWE’s yearly game release from 2K too. ![]()
