This was a grind..good challenge...hope they upgrade this mode next season with more slots and titles

[@VMB_v]

I glad that made it 3 slots instead of as many universe has. Mainly because I like to play sum matches in gm , a full card would be very time consuming

[@angelserrano9049]

@@VMB_v that’s exactly how I look at it. it would be too drawn out and probably get stale after a short time. I noticed that GM mode is very subjective in this installment because what some people don’t like about it, other people do depending on their perspective. I haven’t gotten to this mode yet but when I do I’m going to play it for what it is instead of having expectations because that can also kill the experience.

[@ComPTonRiLLO]

@@VMB_v while I agree, as I play matches too, adding more match types and the tag team belts (or even custom belts) would drastically improve the gameplay. Also I think GM abilities should be usable more than once, like once every 4 weeks at the least. Stamina drain is a huge problem too, using multiple recovery cards in one week shouldn’t increase the time the fighter sits out. But if you use four level 3 spa days, the wrestler will be out 4 weeks and that’s egregious.

[@DotDotEight]

season..?

[@danmorrison1118]

Yes and add match types

[@glitchgoblin1338]

2K really needs to combined GM with universe mode tbh. I'm liking the groundwork but gm mode definitely leaves much to be desired.

[@frenchfries2424]

There still updating gm and honestly universe just isn’t that fun to play alone

[@glitchgoblin1338]

@@frenchfries2424 did you really wait 3 weeks for an update to gm mode to make this comment? I still stand by my statement, Gm and universe need to be combined. It could offer 3 game modes. Regular universe which is essentially sandbox mode, a GM version that has this like a draft and competition between brands and satisfying your rosters wants and needs and an assortment of goals, and the final mode could be superstar mode where you play as one wrestler and forge your path through match up, rivalries, and the completion of certain goals. But this has been a daydream of mine since universe mode was first introduced, so don't mind my fantasies. Tbh rn I'm feeling universe mode and gm both really suck, but at least I can play gm because it's goal oriented. Universe mode is just monotonous and I really hate seeing the same exact cutscenes over and over and over and over. Tbh in a true universe mode you should be able to have full control over cutscenes and how your feuds progress and everything, but it's really only in the game at this point so they can say they offer a variety of gameplay.

[@frenchfries2424]

@@glitchgoblin1338 I agree they really don’t need both but I think gm has more potential if they make all the changes that they have talked about and the community wants

[@glitchgoblin1338]

@@frenchfries2424 very true. I only want something like universe for the Vinny Mac roleplaying it allows. I like being able to book every show, etc, etc. I'm liking the new changes to gm that just came out but it's still not enough to make me choose playing 2k22 over the Sims 4... And one of those games is basically brand new and the other has been out for over 7 years so there's clearly an issue with the 2k series in general.

[@JoshMustLive]

I love gm mode and this is a nice challenge with the stamina, face and heal, popularity, ect. The only thing I hate is the "rock, paper scissors" style of booking matches, it's so frustrating when I see a really good card or a fun rivalry and not be able to do it because it's a cruiser and a fighter or a giant vs giant feud but I can't do that because the game will score everything very low despite everything else being amazing. It's incredibly annoying and sometimes boring because I have to do the same matches over and over again pretty much or spend money I don't have on a free agent or legend just to do another rivalry or let someone rest it's frustrating I hope it doesn't come back in the next game but I want Gm mode in every game in the future I love it and have loved it since the SvR games

[@mrdias1866]

Let´s not forget to mention the worst feature in the MyGM game mode which is being limited to 1 season. Why the F**k only 1 season rather than having infinite seasons? makes no sense. I just lose interest in playing my fav game mode because of this stupid thing

[@ferreirp88]

Question for you. When drafting, what's the most ideal stamina range? I remember you mentioned it as an important stat to look at when considering who to draft on your roster.

[@DiamondLobby]

Thanks! There's not really an "ideal range" - it's just the higher, the better. Obviously there comes a point where you prioritize popularity over stamina - I'd rather have a 70 popularity fighter with 50 stamina than a 50 popularity fighter with 70 stamina. But, like always, it's a balancing act! Plate spinning.

[@tspoon.]

[@GimmeAHullYeah]

This was such a useful video! I’m 100% gonna take this information to our gm mode! One question, as we are not far into the mode yet, but does the star power of a certain superstar have the ability to fluctuate? I know popularity is effected, but does this also apply to the star rating? I want Tim Burr to climb the ladder of success! and to not be fell at the final hurdle! Clear concise video dude! Thank you so much! Wish I had seen your channel before the draft picks advise, as that was another super useful video! -Ant Ps. Don’t tell Dom I was here!

[@DiamondLobby]

Thanks! The star power does fluctuate, sadly it's very hard to get someone to the top and keep them there. As soon as you need to rest someone they will already begin falling.

What about tag rivalries? Like when I couldn't get a tag rivalry match Happen for whatever reason, and instead of continuing the tag rivalry it ended up having a separate rivalry for the single stars in the tag team. Also someone made a suggestion, try to change everyone (for playing against a friend) to a Specialist so that way you go based on popularity and matches without having to do the stupid matchups that for some reason matter more than the other things(Lame I think, doesn't sound like it was made by wrestling fans)

[@DiamondLobby]

You can have tag rivalries and single rivalries running at the same time (even for those in tag teams). E.g. it might show Cena with a level 2 rivalry vs Balor and a level 3 rivalry vs Balor/Orton. I thought the Specialist suggestion was good for those looking for realistic rivalries. Personally I just play games and try to beat them - I'm not a WWE fan, I just love GM Mode!
