#5 in our list of things we know about WWE 2K22 so far- Introduction of various new game modes and improvement in the existing ones
The developers invested a considerable amount of time in making 2K22, which is evident from the variety of modes and features in the game. For the first time in the 2K series, players can take over control of any brand of WWE in the MyGM mode.
One can choose between Sonya Deville, Shane McMahon, Stephanie McMahon and Adam Pearce to take control of either RAW, SmackDown, NXT 2.0 or NXT UK. There will also be an all-new draft to create a dream roster and a budget to manage finances.
Next up is the MyFaction mode, which allows gamers to form their own wrestling groups with superstars of their choice. Whether it is making Brock Lesnar and Goldberg a team or a unification of Evolution and Shield, MyFaction allows it all.
The erstwhile MyCareer mode has been repackaged into the much-improved MyRise mode. Players will have the chance to follow the journey of a budding superstar with different storylines for men and women.
Not only has the game delighted fans by announcing Rey Mysterio as the cover superstar, but they have also introduced an exclusive game mode for the Ultimate Underdog. Players can relive some of the best of Rey Mysterio's matches in the WWE 2K showcase.
Universe mode and Creation Suite have made their return to the game with significant improvements as well.
#4. WWE 2K22 will have new and better Gameplay and controls
The tagline for WWE 2K22 is: “It hits different”. That seems like an apt tagline, with the game's improved gameplay and controls. Numerous animations and controls to block an opponent's moves or simply dodge them have been implemented in the game.
Just as John Cena has five moves of doom in WWE, gamers can create a combo move for any superstar and customize it as well. Furthermore, the developers have claimed to have drastically improved the existing reversal system.
Weapons such as steel chairs, kendo sticks, stop signs and others will get damaged on overuse. Meanwhile, the tables will have a dynamic damage animation where the weapon will break slightly differently each time.
#3. Ultra realistic and visually stunning graphics
While smooth gameplay plays an instrumental role in keeping gamers intrigued, stunning graphics are always a plus. WWE 2K22 will have a whole set of new animations and in-game graphics to elevate gamers' experience.
More than 85 percent of in-game superstars took part in facial scanning. The 3D technique will help in updating their character models and making them more realistic.
Furthermore, roughly 3,400 new animations have been added to the WWE 2K22 game as per developmental reports.
#2. A Co-op capability for MyGM mode
WWE games have always had scope for multiplayer matches, but they were usually limited to exhibition matches. While no one expected a multiplayer feature for the career mode, WWE 2K22 is doing it with its MyGM mode.
It has an all-new Co-op capability. As mentioned earlier, players can choose any one of the four brands in WWE. Let's say if one selects RAW, then all other brands will act as rivals with whom the red brand will have to compete in ratings.
Under the Co-op, rival brands can be controlled by local or online friends, giving it a head-to-head Survivor Series feel.
#1. Roman Reigns has recieved the highest rating
Roman Reigns has been on the top of his game since 2020. Understandably, he has accumulated the highest player ratings in WWE 2K22.
The Universal Champion has received a score of 95 which is extremely impressive. His arch-nemesis Brock Lesnar is right behind him with a score of 94.
The reason behind Reigns' score surpassing that of Brock Lesnar's is that The Tribal Chief has had greater accomplishments and feats during 2020-21.
Other superstars who got higher ratings include Becky Lynch (92), Seth Rollins, Bret Hart and Triple H (91 each).
