The Worst Story In Every WWE 2K Career Mode

To be fair, Tavish being Regal makes sense considering Regal probably was supposed to be there but left to AEW.

Tbf 2k18 and 2k20 do accurately reflect some of the stories at the time lol

Yeah, late 2010s storylines were wack

[@firstnamelastnamesb]

Really should've went with the Cena storyline for 2K19. The story itself was dumb (AJ Styles coaches Buzz and teaches him the Calf Crusher to make Cena finally tap out), but it was made even worse by John Cena's voice being portrayed by a voice actor doing an impression rather than the real Cena.

[@ThisGenGaming]

It almost was in the place, but fake Cena was so bad it was kinda good. Like hilariously bad.

@@ThisGenGaming I can't argue with that, lol.

[@thesilvereyeboy846]

It wasn't a impression, the guy that did Buzz says that they have generic guys do the cutscenes and then they Redford the wrestlers, like a dub, at most he did Cena promo Cadence but the voice was not supposed to sound like him

I will say something that needs to be said. WWE 2k20 was the Sonic 06 of the series. Literally all of its storylines were a worst storyline ever contender, all of them and it was LONG.

[@TheFEARSlayer01]

At least Sonic 06 was entertaining and fun specifically because it was so awful (At least for me it was) lol. 2K20 just, man there ain't no fun to be had there, no sense of ironic enjoyment whatsoever.

Why not do the Worst Storyline in every WWE Game instead of just sticking to 2K Games?

[@ThisGenGaming]

This way is better to get videos out a consistent pace. I do plan on having versions for SVR and Smackdown series.

[@ultraexcalibur1728]

@@ThisGenGaming That's fair. I'd also suggest doing them for the N64 Era and that Strange Era in between the SVR and 2K Era.

[@firstnamelastnamesb]

@@ultraexcalibur1728 The SVR series itself has a lot of good examples of bad storylines. I don't remember the original SVR's that well (though I remember the "Diva collecting" ones being pretty gross and overly sexual) 06 has that storyline where JBL somehow buys out Torrie Wilson's contract and turns her into a slave and you have to win her contract from him, while also competing against John Cena and RVD (who also want Torrie). 07 has the infamous "It's Magic" storyline where Candice Michelle turns the player character into a woman and Edge into the Boogeyman. 08 has the ECW invasion storyline that features Bobby Lashley sending you voice mail that consists of him grunting into the phone and laughing. 09 has Undertaker's Road to WrestleMania, which features him taking on "Nu School", a stable consisting of Santino Marella, Finlay, and The Boogeyman. 10 has the CAW storyline, which features your character winning the Royal Rumble and choosing to wrestle Vince instead of challenging for the World Title. 11 has Rey Mysterio's Road to WrestleMania, where an amnesiac Rey Mysterio is brainwashed by Jack Swagger into becoming evil. And also, to cover Here Comes The Pain and Shut Your Mouth..... HCTP had the storyline where your character gets into a feud with someone because they randomly came up to you in the parking lot and said their car is nicer than yours. SYM had a storyline where Ric Flair and Vince, who spent much of the Season hating eachother, decide out of the blue to bury the hatchet and host a tag team tournament that they participate in themselves to prove that they are the best team in WWE.

[@kylewilson2819]

What's worse is that you customize your look and name, but the cutscenes still call you "Buzz". Like, why give us the option to create a character if we have to abide by this boring ass name?

[@noneedtoknow-yv2tu]

​@@kylewilson2819just create buzz lightyear then work smarter not harder

[@unforgivenwrestlemaniac]

I would say the ending storyline for the Women’s story in 2k24 was done really bad too, having your friend turn on you to literally undo it (OFF CAMERA if you were a fan in kayfabe) and make it pointless, then wrestle the woman you helped for the Women’s title at WM instead of the one you screwed over. It is sad to say because the rest of the Women’s story before that was great/the best I enjoyed since 2006, and I loved it until that dumb part derailed it at the end.

[@unforgivenwrestlemaniac]

Also all that time spent with Psycho Sally to not even have an ending with your fans was also not good about it too.

[@eddieherrera5314]

[@ChristianM-TheFinalBoss]

Can you do the best storys, the worst features, and the worst unlockables in every WWE 2K Game please.

[@cypher515]

2K24's women's MyRise is a little frustrating to be honest, because first it's "Troy Simpkin as a knockoff... no, Vince Russo is an improvement" driving you nuts, second it's the requirement to do _every_ one of the three potentially tired archetypes when it doesn't fit my idea of my MyRise character at all to be Undertaker Lite (and one of them fit the brutal mold, one of them fit the Hollywood mold, neither fit both). But THE absolute worst bit is... the Could Have Avoided This Plot plot at the end of the story. Having said that, considering that the entire men's storyline is going to have to be absolutely retconned by reality, it basically annoys me by its existence. (Then again I hate that 2K keeps on introducing its own characters and making them persist yet by this point we should have seen multiple of the other player characters on each show by now. How can we have Justine if LJ can't appear? Shouldn't Red have started her almost completely unbelievable 4 year run by now? (Well at least at the time, it was. If you told me that WWE would put a belt on someone and keep it on them for four years in reality, I'd have laughed in your face. But if you told me it was Roman I'd have probably understood.))

[@samiyo17]

wwe 2k24 Gunther story was a bad one too, using universe cutscenes in myrise was really dumb

[@ThisGenGaming]

Agreed. It was close to being in this list.

[@greekmythologykratos9809]

[@palpatinerocks3260]

[@UltimateRealness]

The storyline in 2K22 got me mad because you don’t even fight the full match. I think at some point I got bored of the my career mode in 2k22 in its entirety

The whole goddamn career mode in 2K20 is easily the WORST GODDAMN CAREER MODE EVER!

[@LoganProductions54]

Personally a lot of the mini stories in the Unleashed path in 2K24 annoyed the hell out of me. The "Choose between Hollywood, Spooky (forgot the third one)" were just such a slooooog like if it was "pick one you're stuck with it" that'd be one thing but the Spooky path went on for god damn ever.

[@togucvinw7]

I liked it at first but yeah it went on for too long and time wise doesn’t make sense since you spent a lot of weeks/months in game wise in these stories so that means you are spending literally half of the year being a Hollywood star or a bully with Rhea or a spooky witch and not chasing any titles

[@patrickesdam4233]

They really need to bring the whole "start from the indies" concept back for their career mode again. It just works. Who want's to start right in the middle of things? Getting to start from nothing and eventually be the top guy was amazing in 2K19!

[@BlueHero26]

For me wwe2k23 ending was the worst. You don't even get to fight Slade in the end. And worse he helps you with the Randy Orton match at the end

[@kylewilson2819]

It feels like the MyRise stories have been very toned down compared to the rest of the game. Like, MyGM and Universe are fantastic, but MyRise has virtually no replay value. It also seems to have the same problems that the earlier 2K MyCareer's struggled with: It never feels like MY career. 2K20 is easily the worst, as it has arguably the two WORST protagonists in 2K history. I never felt like EITHER character behaved how I would behave or how a character I played as would behave. They even had a LIST of goals to accomplish, and I cared about MAYBE 3 of them. I know 2K probably doesn't care about giving us any actual agency in these story modes, but I don't think it should be THIS HARD to give us enough variety to make the mode replayable and to make it FEEL like it's MY CAREER! I should be able to CHOOSE to fight the Undertaker's Ghost in a subway station, to CHOOSE to attack HBK over "The Lock" gimmick, etc! Give me ACTUAL CHOICES! ACTUAL branching storylines! I don't want more linear stories that have basically one way to play! A MyCareer Mode should be like a JRPG, not a point & click adventure.

[@chikowashere]

There wasn't a single redeemable thing about 2k20's cringe storyline with it's completely unlikable characters. The graphics during the cutscenes look like PlayStation 1, the dialog is cringe, I rage quit rather than playing as the 2 main characters. I wanted them to lose every match. I never hated someone as much as I hated those two.

[@GabbyJFS_02]

I’m honestly glad to hear someone else mention how much of a jerk the Lock is. Like…I’m fine with being the villain, but make it feel like that. I thought maybe my character would learn something about getting his ass kicked, hitting rock bottom, then working his way back up to the top and being signed to WWE again. But no. He threatens to injure Shawn Michaels again and clearly still has a massive ego. Honestly Shawn was perfectly justified in all the crap he did during that storyline. I also hated how short the whole “bringing back a dead faction” part was. I spent so long making an Evolution titantron for my character only for it to be over in like an hour. And we definitely should’ve unlocked the Evolution theme and titantrons for that.

[@joshuagillott1994]

The Brass Knuckles payback works in the ring as well. You have to be really close to Kane for it to work. Also, the Lock story is not that bad.

If I’m honest in 2K24 I didn’t like the part in the Unleashed storyline where your friend turns on you and forces you to wrestle gauntlet matches. It was really boring and kinda out of nowhere. Like there were no hints to her turning on you at all.

[@NealCamerlengo]

My problem with 2K15'a career mode is that it was super easy to get stripped the title if you dared to choose a different match than what Vickie wanted. Also, I feel that it started a thing where the difficulty settings among other sliders didn't matter. I really wanted to like 2K16 but I hate how at least to my knowledge couldn't change the submission mini-game. I actually like the Rumble mechanics in 2K18 since it reminds me of the older and better THQ/AKI games such as the first two SmackDown games, Wrestlemania 2000, No Mercy and WWE Raw 2.

Imo the overall worst is 2K20, because of how stupid Tre is written as a MAIN CHARTER. Imo he doesn't have a redemption because of how stupid his character is through the whole story. Watching Chris Danger/DenkOps play 2K20's career, watching him play & evolve his character since about 2K16, end up getting made to be an idiot by no choice of his own. Everyone having to deal with that career writing is awful, of course. But if you have a certain idea in mind for a character? Better off in Universe Mode, honestly.

I gotta disagree with your pick of 2k19, I would’ve picked your feud with Cena hell he didn’t even voice himself! He wasn’t even in the game long and he couldn’t give a few voice clips? You don’t even beat him in game, you beat him in a cutscene! THAT was bullshit I also gotta disagree with your pick of 2k22’s worst story cause that BS with the MITB was just garbage! You win the MITB, you cash in on Roman, then KO comes in during the match and also cashes in and wins! Why? Because KO was injured and even tho he passed the date he was allowed to hold the MITB, it got extended? What!? Then you have to beat Roman in a number one contenders match and you beat him but it”s treated like no big deal despite WWE pushing hard now Roman hasn’t been pinned in so long then you beat KO and become champion. This story was garbage cause WWE just couldn’t have us pin Roman to get the universal title, hell that mixed match tournament, where the winners become GM for a day, ended in our character getting screwed over for the belt! If the top guys don’t care that they lose in past WWE games story modes and those losses don’t effect their standing in WWE then Roman can take a few pins and submissions. Fuck this game. I think 2k23’s worst storyline has to be the evolution vs hurt business story cause it’s the same shit no matter what team you pick. Yeah, there’s different dialogue but it’s the same shit. 2k24’s worst story has to be the choice between working with Miz or going to NXT, why in the hell would our character work with Miz after all the hell he put us through? Even that down up down up but with arrows shit was annoying. Then again making Cody such a joke in the beginning was painful, Roman whooped his ass so much that he retired? Then instead of fighting on both shows like an undisputed champion should, we’re stuck on smackdown! Now that I think about it, the whole story was mid as hell cause it felt so boring and formulaic. Yeah, you pass Roman’s record but the story wasn’t all that memorable and just skipping years when it feels like days.
