If you prefer to watch a video instead of reading the guide, feel free to do so. There is a playlist that covers every trophy on my YouTube channel. If you'd like and subscribe or even become a member, it would mean a lot to this channel!
MyFaction requires a permanent internet connection. Due to 2K usually killing their servers frequently (often 2 years after release) it's recommended to get this mode out of the way first.
The entire Showcase mode is centered around the 40-year history of Wrestlemania and lets us relive some of the most memorable matches at the Grandest Stage of'em All. All matches can be played on Easy difficulty, just keep an eye on all the objectives to unlock the bonus match at the very end.
In Universe Mode we can take control over all superstars and all shows including PLEs. This mode offers us 5 trophies which won't take long. We start with Superstar Mode and move on to Universe Classic after that.
Most of this year's Play Mode trophies are tied to Paybacks. Others are rewarded for victories on the Legend difficulty. To make life a lot easier we can adjust different gameplay sliders to reduce reversal rates of the AI as well as their defense against submissions and pinfalls. Before we start, we are going to create some things to get those trophies during this step as well.
In MyGM mode, we manage up to four WWE shows and aim to earn the most fans and profit by creating top-quality events and running the best brand logistics. Our budget is limited, so we must allocate funds wisely for show production, matches and superstar contracts, balancing entertainment value and financial prudence. It's recommended to play this mode twice.
In MyRise we have to play through 2 different stories. Unleashed and Undisputed. Watch out for some mutually exclusive trophies. If you create a backup save right before making a trophy-related decision, you should be fine and able to enjoy both storylines.
