WWE 2K15 - NXT Announced As My Career Mode

WWE 2K15 brings with it many changes, and the newest change is the just announced "My Career Mode." The new mode will fully incorporate WWE's developmental brand, NXT, and will feature your created wrestler (who might bear an uncanny resemblance to DDP) moving up the ranks. While in developmental you will face rising stars such as Adrian Neville and Sami Zayn, though I do hope that will grow to include some of the really talented Divas on the roster, as wrestlers like Charlotte and Bayley are huge draws for NXT and deserve a place in the game. After you move up to the main roster, you will attempt to make your impact on Smackdown and Raw, and ultimately to compete at Wrestlemania. 

Grasping the scripted nature of the WWE and translating it to a game has always been the most challenging part of these games, but hopefully 2K15 is on the right path to finally get that aspect right. This section of the press release got me the most interested however. 

Decisions made throughout the WWE developmental process, including alliances, rivalries and social media interactions, will impact player personality traits and crowd reactions.

Social media is used a great deal in either perpetuating someone's good or bad reputation on tv or furthering ongoing storylines, so it's kind of cool to see the developers implementing this into the game. Guess we will have to wait and see if it all works out.

WWE 2K15 releases on Xbox One, PS4 on November 18th, and on PS3 and Xbox 360 on October 28th.
