WWE 2K22: 10 Things To Know Before You Buy

4. MyRISE Is Still Cheesy

Players who didn’t like the cheesy plots seen in MyCareer won’t find much to enjoy in MyRISE either.

In fairness to 2K, it’s in their best interests to create single-player experiences that cater to everybody. Those who don’t like MyRISE might like Rey Mysterio’s Showcase, for example. Not a fan of that? Then how about dipping into MyGM to see what that has to offer (more on it later).

Regrettably, the earliest footage from MyRISE looks a bit rough. Shawn Michaels has more hair than he has in years, and Beth Phoenix has clearly been on something funky before hitting the Performance Center - her eyes are downright scary.

People will be able to look past that if the story is engaging and the gameplay fun. Do not go into MyRISE expecting some award-winning story though. This is very much the same contrived stuff that 2K's CAW 'Career Modes' have served up for ages.

It is what it is.
