Been playing this since Monday night, and my thoughts are that it is the best yet in the 2K series.
The new match types are fun. Special Guest Referee was always an old favorite, and it's great to have it back.
The changes to MyGM are taking some getting used to. I finished first my first season, but it's definitely harder. And it'll only get harder in the later seasons due to how much money retaining or hiring stars costs. Overall, I'd say the mode is even better, but a lot of that has to do with UI changes and stuff too. Very clean.
I don't care about Universe mode, haven't since the before 2K took over.
Showcase mode is what it is, a frustrating slog that you have to do to unlock most stuff. Glad I'm done with it.
What little I've played of the male story mode has been fun.
The biggest surprise to me is MyFaction. I'm actually enjoying it. Probably spent the most time in it thus far, and I quickly started to hate that mode in 2K22 and really didn't touch it too much last year either.
That everything isn't 4v4 now combined with tag matches in general not being terrible, it's just been a lot of fun. The Faction Warfare change from 4v4 tower to a rogue-lite Run with different paths and culminating in a boss fight was a most welcome change. My only problem with the mode is I still think cards, individual and packs, are too expensive. Both in-game currency and real money. I'd never spend real money on a pack anyway, even if they were cheaper, simply because most packs have mostly sideplates and this year they have stupid created wrestlers in the packs.
