Power Cards are SAVING US! - WWE 2K24 MyGM ECW Series Episode #4

IT’S MYGM TIME!!! It’s early access for WWE 2K24 and our first MyGM! Thank you for all the comments left on my previous video with your suggestions for which GM and which Brands to use for my first MyGM mode. ECW and Paul Heyman were easy the choice. So let’s see how ECW does in hopefully a more successful reboot.
If you enjoy these series and MyGM, please like the video and subscribe to the channel it helps out a lot!

Appreciate you being on extreme all others was on normal and hard that’s boring lol enjoyed your videos so far been watching them every morning keep up great work

[@mackenzierants]

Thank you so much for this comment. I always appreciate comments like these! I'm surprised to see I'm the one on extreme right out of the gate. I guess I was the only one who didn't feel challenged last year haha

[@RichardRitenour0522]

You've been able to keep your brand afloat financially and took back the lead, I'd say you're doing pretty good so far! Thanks for the fun Mac!

[@mackenzierants]

Really appreciate the comment! I'm happy everyone else is having fun with this as well!

[@DannyWilson1989]

On the PLEs if you go on logistics on arena section every PLE you can unlock the special PLE arena with bonus match types and higher ticket prices and more attendance. Every PLE you can unlock that arena as a one time deal.

[@mackenzierants]

Thanks for pointing that out. I've had a few people mention this. It was a little late for this season but for season 2 I'll definitely make sure I'm using these!

[@Snanthx]

Just getting into www I’ve never played a wwe2k game so it’s been a great series for someone learning the mode

[@mackenzierants]

Good I love to hear that. I do my best to always explain why I'm doing something for better or for worse. I'm happy you're enjoying it. Thanks for the comment!

[@ahmedelsayed7271]

entertaining as hell my guy, the series is becoming a part of the routine now! :D

[@mackenzierants]

Thank you so much. Really appreciate the comments like this. I'm happy you're liking the show so far!

[@JosephQuincyEvil]

As someone new to the game and this mode, I'm finding your playthrough both interesting and entertaining. If I may offer one critique... maybe you could use more than one short, looping background track for an hour long video? 🙂 A different track per in-game week perhaps? Just spitballin'. Thanks for sharing your game experience.

[@mackenzierants]

Thanks for the comment. I've just finished recording episode 6 so I'll give this a shot in the season finally!

[@afrokidryder]

I have enjoyed these thanks

[@mackenzierants]

I really appreciate the comments today! It means a lot!

[@afrokidryder]

@mackenzierants I'm taking a break but I've liked what I saw so far keep it up

[@thomashicks3106]

I greatly appreciate the style change function they added

[@mackenzierants]

100%! I haven't even had the chance to use it but I'm just appreciating that it's there.

[@paulmudd8530]

The stamina drop in this years game is CRAZY! Is that because of extreme mode? Loving the series!

[@PalmBaiReader]

That happens when you continuously book your stars week after week. Match types also play a part. You can improve your superstars stamina stats in My Roster in My GM. There's a tier list of perks & you have a choice of two everytime you unlock one

[@mackenzierants]

Ya I think looking back now, I think the roster I drafted was WAYYY too small. It'll be something I have to change next season.

[@khalnayakfc7074]

building superstars into icons slap that's why I draft talents and manage nxt seems like the best style to play

[@mackenzierants]

I think you might be right. Obviously, it's still my first season of my first try, but I'm leaning toward you being 100% right!

[@cringeoregano3411]

I'm an achievement hunter and this achievement has me in a choke hold. Extreme AI with Extreme difficulty and finish 1st is crazy difficult.

[@mackenzierants]

It's coming down to the wire, and I really hope I can pull this off! Thanks for the comment.

[@GregMcNeish]

Regarding the fan retention card, Raw & WCW both had a 0.9900 (99%) multiplier, while you had 0.9995 (99.95%).

[@mackenzierants]

You're 100% right! What through me off was I was sure that special promotion in 2K23 was X 1 and not .995. In any case, it still makes a big difference!

[@Frenetic_Fox]

Man , just your accent I can tell you are from West Island Montreal haha 🤙... congrats on 1000k , keep grinding!

[@mackenzierants]

Hahaha that's fair! And if that didn't give it away, then my Montreal attire from head to toe will give it away.

[@7DtalksYT]

Big tip with tag team if you book a cruiser and cruiser vs giant and giant (or specialist like Imperiam) they will get good ratimgs and will work well as a team

[@mackenzierants]

This is a good tip! I'll have to implement this in season 2. Thanks for the comment.

[@DoubleT420]

Really enjoying the series man. Not your fault, but its just a shame that the ECW dlc isnt out for a few months to truly bring the OG feel to it.

[@DoubleT420]

Sure I read it was in May but if I'm wrong then my bad

[@mackenzierants]

Oh ya 100%. I'm doing my best to find the 3 originals that are in the game, but the talent scout is just so expensive. Thanks for the comment.

[@mackenzierants]

If that's true, that's awesome. I'll have to look into that.

[@mfuen0465]

@@DoubleT420 I was wrong, you’re right 🤦‍♂️ Comes out May 15 my bad

[@Obreezy_Gaming]

If Finn won the title the+20 popularity bonus would make him 100 in that category

[@landotuesday8051]

Lets gooooo new episode!! I have yours on while I play! Good luck and have fun! 🫡

[@mackenzierants]

Love that! Thank you for the continued support and good luck in your MyGM or whatever mode you're playing!

[@landotuesday8051]

I would also utilize hiring rookies for 1 show in mid card matches as filler from time to preserve stamina, it has helped me in 2 of the drafts that I've made! good stuff tho Mack!@@mackenzierants

[@DMachoMickey]

Thanks for giving Sassy Molassy and Cinnamon Garret a chance!

[@mackenzierants]

Haha of course! I feel tied to a lot of the local talent from the Mission Impossible MyGM I did in 2K23. Thanks for the comment!

[@DMachoMickey]

@@mackenzierants One of the low key fun points of GM mode is taking the “rookies” and making them stars. I feel like the over the top names and graphics for these characters are great. How does Cinnamon Garrett even see? 😂

[@lolodatruf8648]

It would make sense for already scouted talent to stay I agree

[@mackenzierants]

Especially with how expensive the whole system is. Maybe we'll see that updated in a patch later on.

[@patrickwilliams7582]

You should be using the midcard as a meatgrinder for local talent to capitalize on the Bloodthirsty card.

[@mackenzierants]

That would've been a GREAT strategy. Wow that's really smart thinking outside the box. I have to try and remember this in case I ever get the bloodthirsty card again!

[@callowaymills5406]

I hate the ai can make you lose all your champs during a PLE but the user can't do that too them

[@mackenzierants]

So even though it says you can't use it for a PLE, I played the ECW power card on both AI GMs and it seemed to work in episode 2. That also just could've been a coincidence though lol.

[@callowaymills5406]

maybe your right and im getting hit with the ecw card @@mackenzierants

[@yehiaeyad5906]

I truly love it thank u for your effort

[@mackenzierants]

I love comments like these! Thank you for the support!

[@Zanisflankshift]

Stacks & d Angelo = new FBI, I acctually yelled yes and my screen.

[@mackenzierants]

Haha right?! Well if I can ever find Stacks...

[@Zanisflankshift]

Yeah, I got to play today, the scouts thong really changes the game, makes it a little worse becuase you never really find exactly who you are looking for but better becuuase you can get who you need, very different.

[@tygjaykin]

Idk if you have already finished season 1 but power cards don't roll over to the next season so use them all!

[@thomashicks3106]

Ah, I didn't know that either. Another little change

[@mackenzierants]

Ok thanks for the heads up. They carried over last year, so that is interesting. I think I like this better. we'll wait and see haha

[@MangobingoTv]

U can search for rvd

[@mackenzierants]

I was looking for him in the wrong category apparently...No spoilers...but I may be successful in finding him soon... Thanks for the comment and the continued support!

[@damonehogan5064]

Do power cards carry over to the next season in mygm?

[@mackenzierants]

I was very much under the impression that they did, however I just got a comment saying they don't...I'm a bit worried now... Thanks for the question and the continued support!

[@robertbarnett-qi3fi]

When u do a trade you need look at who is the everyone popular and also u need to look at the fan who want

[@mackenzierants]

Thanks for the heads up. I'm noticing that trades have way more to do with just trade value and popularity. Much more goes into it. We'll have to wait and see how they work.

[@steve2275]

23:45 i can 37:57 (50 K coming your way) 26:02 seth extreme rules rollins 1:01:58 give 10 K thanks mac

[@mackenzierants]

Thank you for the continued support to the channel and on these videos!

[@chadg4498]

Gotta get at least a few more women on the roster or men to give some people breaks so there stamina isn't jacked up

[@mackenzierants]

Not to spoil the rest of the episodes...But we learn from this haha. Thanks for the comment

[@AniketSingh-io6ps]

You forgot to put PLE arenas on PLE shows. So, please do not do the same thing again and again. OK!

[@PalmBaiReader]

Relax man 😂 why are you so angry

[@mackenzierants]

I have bad news for you...I saw this comment after I just recorded episode 5...So I've missed it next episode also lol. Thank you for pointing that out though. I now have something to improve upon for the next PLE

[@mrbolduc1292]

Est ce que t es quebecois ? A voir ton stock des habs et des expos hahah

[@mackenzierants]

oui monsieur! C'est facile à voir avec cette vidéo eh haha. Merci pour le comment!

[@Obreezy_Gaming]

Finn is your biggest draw. Push him

[@yuretawahyucaesar4201]

Enjoyed your videos bro. But I wuld like to recommend mic with a pop filter. You swallowing your own saliva and your popping mouth noise bother me so much.

[@mackenzierants]

Haha allergy season...Sorry about that!

[@afrokidryder]

😂😂😂😂 you can't finesse the cpu they aren't going to give you a good deal PLUS money be reasonable wasting your trades

[@djh345]

My power cards dont even work... Used 150k+ on duds... 2K is actual garbage

[@mackenzierants]

That's super frustrating...Which power cards weren't working for you?

[@djh345]

@@mackenzierants cant remember all, but the popularity increases did not work. Only the cheapest one once. The xavier woods card - steal a star only works sometimes. Two free backstage crew/media cards and some others. Been going through them all, and at least 30% do not work per save. started a new save, then some of those duds work, but then others don't. Wtf is this game...
