Those coming at 2K22 with grand expectations that GM Mode is some 10-year long 2K love letter to SmackDown vs. Raw 2008 may scoff at the bitesized ’Season Mode’ on offer here. It’s not empty by any means, and is in fact bursting with options that value experimentation, but it’s not as open-ended as some might’ve liked.

The mode also puts a fair bit of stock in booking cards like WWE would. So, to explain that, Goldberg coming back as a surprise pleases the company and reaps rewards if you pull it off better than pushing Chad Gable to the top of the World Title mix just because he happens to be your favourite wrestler.

That's what Universe Mode is for.

GM operates via carefully-planned algorithms, it seems. It's goal-based too, which means doing what Triple H asks in-game is more important than doing your own thing and stacking the deck against all three other shows (Raw, SmackDown, NXT and NXT UK are included).
