WWE 2K22: 10 Things To Know Before You Buy

2. MyGM Isn’t Exactly The Same

Word of warning: 2K22's MyGM mode isn't the same as the General Manager feature in those old SmackDown vs. Raw games. There are similarities, sure, but the updated version is more of a linear experience than some might have predicted.

Linear doesn't mean bad. Calm down - it really doesn't!

MyGM is a lot of fun, and you will have a blast taking your brand (Raw, SmackDown, NXT or NXT UK) to glory as the best show on WWE telly. That said, it's clearly set up so that prospective GMs of the year please Triple H. He's the in-game overseer, and what he says goes.

You don't really have fully-fledged freedom to do absolutely anything you please. That's what Universe Mode is for, after all. 2K seem content to reintroduce GM elements without being too ambitious, and that'll perhaps disappoint a few who were tricked into thinking this was a SmackDown vs. Raw 2008 re-skin.

It isn't, but it's still awesome.
