I mean I'd be happy if they just ran it back on normal but added in a few legends and other guys since they very rarely if ever sign any mid season so maybe they could start with a couple each instead
I kinda liked the hard mode for this season Yeah there were some struggles but you were so close to each other during the whole season and still made good bits!
1. If you do wanna do a reset, the quality of the caw doesn’t really matter (until mania when you watch a match) so you just really need the render. 2. You can edit a caw’s class and their popularity but not their ring level or promo skill. 3.Batista shows up in gm mode even if you haven’t unlocked him. Idk if it’s a mistake or what but, big poppa pump is that way too.
as someone who did my own attitude era gm mode in 2k23, it’s a ton of fun. and trust that 2k24 has just as many caws as that game had plus the inclusion of a ton of in game characters this year like sandman, funk, the headbangers, etc makes it even easier. something to keep in mind tho is that because they’re legends, even if you make them “active” instead of “contracted”, they’ll come up extremely expensive in the draft (usually over 400k) so you’ll have to adjust their popularity. and yes you can adjust that as well as the fighting style and whether they’re heel or face. same with caws!
When you go into your custom draft pool, you can set every wrestlers style, popularity, stamina, and contract status. You can NOT decide their secondary style though ring xp level up. Their contract price will be determined by the stats you provide them. If you want to make Hogan a 30 popularity local jobber Giant, the game will let you
Wait I only now realized is the reason Johnny kept pushing Wolfgong as Undertaker because he’s Teddy Long and he needs people to go one on one with da Undertaker?
Personally I think that the most fun option for a changeup in the rosters was what one of the boyz suggested and having it so each of you picks a number of wrestlers of your choice to go in. Having a mixup of wrestlers from all eras and promotions I think could lead to a lot of fun possibilities, as well as being more engaging on the women's roster side of things as the Attitude era for example didn't have a lot going on in that area.
the fact that all the mania's were empty arenas and all the NL fans have been watching GM mode from home, so it's like representing the fact that none of us are actually there to cheer the shows on, is oddly poetic.
6:07 you could draw different eras and whoever picks a era has to draft those rosters, and if you wanna trade you can agree to something at trade day. Money etc
For some reason they put some of the persona cards into the myGM roster pool regardless of whether or not you’ve unlocked them. There are multiple versions of Undertaker and Batista available when you scout, for example.
The other Undertakers are Showcase mode unlocks or just bought from the in-game shop. You are correct though that you can use my faction persona cards for MyGM though. I have the awesome Masked Dirty Dom I use in my GM games.
Doing additude/late 90's is a solid idea but I also think giving everyone 15-20 wrestlers (from any time period) not in the game then throwing them into the pool is the way to go. Id love the mystery of not knowing what WCW, ECW, AEW, NJPW, and even DPW guys show up.
I will once again point out that if you all want to continue this save, the bugged trophies will carry over. So, I'd recommend making a new save. With that in mind, I'm definitely in favor of an Attitude Era run. That would be sick! Also, definitely on the same page as you for the talent scout system. I don't mind the system as a whole, but there should still be a random selection, and the scouting is WAY too expensive.
2:11:56 When Chester starts to climb the ladder, the breifcase moves over to be in line with him. Not sure if that's normal, never noticed it if it is.
Looking my forward to listening to all of this! I hope that next year you keep things default in terms of match unlocking (in 2k25). You wouldn’t be tasked with ‘booking hell in a cell matches’ for cards if they weren’t unlocked, a match type you wouldn’t unlock until late Season 2.
For CAW when you edit your draft pool you can switch columns to change their Role, Style and place of appearance (Draft, Local pool, Contracts to be scouted). I think you can change their popularity too and that the only variable you can't touch is their Rank/Level
Also since you're only watching one match per brand per season you just need a nice render so they don't look out of place on card screen and such (which can get silly if the renders are bad)
I would keep going with this series, you already spent lots of money on the ring and fireworks, etc. so you will have more money. Also would be cool if you guys could have co gms, like htail duel sprite Blake dino etc. I understand getting 8 people to time things would be hard.
I love the idea of doing a next season based around the Attitude Era. Not to discount the active rosters of the game, but it can be plenty of fun to have legends/DLC characters who weren't in this season as the sole roster. Especially with the potential for stories the bois come up with
For a potential Attitude Season mode, you can edit everything. Go into GM Mode, pick a new save slot, go to custom roster, make all the modern talent 'inactive', and all the talent you want 'active'. After that, you can edit each wrestler's popularity, class (fighter, bruiser etc), and whether or not they are a heel or a face. Then all you have to do is save the draft class and select it in the menu. I'm doing a 1999 one now and British Bulldog (in the Jeans) is the ECW champ.
If you guys do decide to go with the Era specific GM, I'm sure myself and a lot of other community members will work on characters to fill the roster for you to import.
If you’re going to do an attitude era runbut are worried about the number of people you have access to on CC you can always bolster the roster with 80s and early 00s guys. Any of those guys who come up on CC probably worked indies during the 90s
idea for your attitude era My GM: since you guys don't typically watch the matches you could use blank CAWs with renders of wrestlers and then in the custom draft pool adjust everyone's class, role, popularity, status, etc.
I really like the idea of resetting with Attitude Era or just an assortment of CAWs in general. I'd be down for that. Something I think might be cool is to have a season where things like drafts, champions, cards you pick and use and even matches you book are randomised. Like have a roulette wheel WWE-style to determine one type of match for example. I like nL improvising and I think it's great when you "live and die" by the rando.
It was, I believe, two episodes ago when Jawnny discovered that Wolfgong's popularity suffers from being the midcard champion… And of course we end the season with Wolfy defending this belt at Mania ;>
whenever you guys make your new draft pool. No matter what you decide to do I would recommend setting every wrestler to “active” instead of having certain wrestlers set to local or legend I’ve done multiple gm modes and I feel like it makes the draft pool a lot more interesting.
I've been playing MyGM on normal and even I'm having a hard time like you guys have all season. 2K made it so much harder all round at least starting out so I'm assuming with what I know from last year with keepers and draft, the start will always be a hard time unless the local talent is prominent early on for saving funds through the season
So I did a test. I made several superstars who were legends and on contracts available for the draft. They are level 25 and cost roughly 500k each. I then did another one where I lowered them to 1 popularity and the highest was asking for 210k. So unless you mod it I don't know if what you are thinking about doing next will work out.
For CAWs, you can change Popularity, fighting style (Giant, Cruiser, etc.) and face/heel. I tried an attitude era roster but one thing to watch out for is that the likes of Austin and Shamrock who are already in the game will be super expensive due to their rank if you add them to the list of permanent roster options instead of contracts. I'd recommend a couple of test drafts (or "rough draft drafts") to make sure you have a balance and can comfortably fill out a roster. Alternatively you could just keep the Contract wrestlers as contracts like they are in your current save or download a CAW for those ones too. Rank and promo levels are entirely random for CAWs (unless someone knows a way) which will also affect their price.
I'd love for next season to be on Normal mode. Hard mode was good for a season but IDK if I can watch another empty arena wrestlemania lol The different era idea sounds like a lot of fun too, hopefully you guys give it a shot
I love the idea of doing a CAW heavy time period or faves draft, though I will warn you guys that it doesn’t really allow you to control certain aspects when you do this. For example, promo skills are seemingly completely random for CAWs from save to save, as are superstar levels to an extent, a good chunk of them will be level 5, but much like Scarlett and Sanga, some will seemingly be massively overrated relative to who they are and be level 15. That said, I’m sure you guys would still make it entertaining and it’s not a huge deal.
You can change roles, popularity, and class, stamina is random. As for CAWS I don't understand it fully. I have used several and I even lowered their pop to under 20. They have different experience levels though. Some are level 5 but others at level 10. I don't fully understand why that is.
Definitely am all for a reset, but CAWs in GM Mode generally suck regardless of what way you set them up. Unfortunate, but like, their pop and whatnot is effed up IIRC. I'd just lower difficulty and go from there, so that way trophies aren't glitched/bugged this time around.
CAWs in MyGM kinda sucks because almost everyone is either a Fighrer or Specialist. You can change their classes but you'd have to do it manually for each one by going in the main roster menu outside of mygm.
I love clowning on Jericho but that injury was genuinely, GENUINELY tragic.
He should've flipped the Uso promos and the Hudson v Reigns match. The Usos had so much more stamina.
i really like the idea of putting together a pool of guys you all like and drafting from there. that sounds awesome
This! There are tons of modern stars in DPW, AEW, and NJPW!
Gotta have DPW Reps
I mean I'd be happy if they just ran it back on normal but added in a few legends and other guys since they very rarely if ever sign any mid season so maybe they could start with a couple each instead
Duke's injury right after the double pop was actually heartbreaking I actually teared up
It's been a hell of a season, boys!
Love the ongoing story of Jericho fumbling the bag and giving up
Not only is Ken Shamrock in this game, he was the very first wrestler Jawnny played as during the midnight release stream. :D
I kinda liked the hard mode for this season
Yeah there were some struggles but you were so close to each other during the whole season and still made good bits!
Ken Shamrock is in this game through the Wrestlemania Showcase mode
1. If you do wanna do a reset, the quality of the caw doesn’t really matter (until mania when you watch a match) so you just really need the render.
2. You can edit a caw’s class and their popularity but not their ring level or promo skill.
3.Batista shows up in gm mode even if you haven’t unlocked him. Idk if it’s a mistake or what but, big poppa pump is that way too.
There's also a modding tool thing called Tribute to unlock everything so that those "set on by default" guys can be turned off
@ oh sweet. Didn’t realize that. I’m on console.
We made it, long brains.
as someone who did my own attitude era gm mode in 2k23, it’s a ton of fun. and trust that 2k24 has just as many caws as that game had plus the inclusion of a ton of in game characters this year like sandman, funk, the headbangers, etc makes it even easier.

Once in a lifetime or maybe not brother?
Well maybe so brother!
But it could happen again dude !!
We need a WM17 style gimmicks battle royal with all the incredible personas the boys have come up with this season
WOLFGONG Entrance. What a Mania Moment! Lol
the fact that all the mania's were empty arenas and all the NL fans have been watching GM mode from home, so it's like representing the fact that none of us are actually there to cheer the shows on, is oddly poetic.
6:07 you could draw different eras and whoever picks a era has to draft those rosters, and if you wanna trade you can agree to something at trade day. Money etc
Yeah like Golden Age, Attitude Era, Ruthless Agression, Reality and stuff like that.
For some reason they put some of the persona cards into the myGM roster pool regardless of whether or not you’ve unlocked them. There are multiple versions of Undertaker and Batista available when you scout, for example.
The other Undertakers are Showcase mode unlocks or just bought from the in-game shop. You are correct though that you can use my faction persona cards for MyGM though. I have the awesome Masked Dirty Dom I use in my GM games.

Im 1:31:00 and I'm screaming because Johnny isn't putting the titles on the line he's about to fumble this bag crazy style
Ken Shamrock is unlockable in the showcase mode, he was a guest referee
I will once again point out that if you all want to continue this save, the bugged trophies will carry over. So, I'd recommend making a new save. With that in mind, I'm definitely in favor of an Attitude Era run. That would be sick!
Also, definitely on the same page as you for the talent scout system. I don't mind the system as a whole, but there should still be a random selection, and the scouting is WAY too expensive.
44:00 if Rikishi doesn’t Special Guest ref the Usos match you have failed big style
I’d love you guys to continue this series or do a reset, long as my brain continues to grow…
i think it would be cool for NL+ to have a cut version of just the show rundowns week by week for mildly easier backlog viewing.
2:11:56 When Chester starts to climb the ladder, the breifcase moves over to be in line with him. Not sure if that's normal, never noticed it if it is.
Exposing the business!
I don’t think CAW’s would be a big issue considering that you only really see the character’s picture during GM mode.
"you're both going to time out"
Looking my forward to listening to all of this! I hope that next year you keep things default in terms of match unlocking (in 2k25). You wouldn’t be tasked with ‘booking hell in a cell matches’ for cards if they weren’t unlocked, a match type you wouldn’t unlock until late Season 2.
jericho's match had me in fucking stiches hahahah
For CAW when you edit your draft pool you can switch columns to change their Role, Style and place of appearance (Draft, Local pool, Contracts to be scouted). I think you can change their popularity too and that the only variable you can't touch is their Rank/Level
Also since you're only watching one match per brand per season you just need a nice render so they don't look out of place on card screen and such (which can get silly if the renders are bad)
Roman shoot killed Duke so he wouldn't have to face him at mania
I would keep going with this series, you already spent lots of money on the ring and fireworks, etc. so you will have more money.
Also would be cool if you guys could have co gms, like htail duel sprite Blake dino etc. I understand getting 8 people to time things would be hard.
I love the idea of doing a next season based around the Attitude Era. Not to discount the active rosters of the game, but it can be plenty of fun to have legends/DLC characters who weren't in this season as the sole roster. Especially with the potential for stories the bois come up with
48:20 PLAYA! Let’s fucking GOOO

After that, you can edit each wrestler's popularity, class (fighter, bruiser etc), and whether or not they are a heel or a face. Then all you have to do is save the draft class and select it in the menu. I'm doing a 1999 one now and British Bulldog (in the Jeans) is the ECW champ.
What a season. Thank you boys. Jericho please never change.
45:19 I felt like that one fan after Taker lost at Mania here. Duke “The Dumpster” Hudson was robbed of his Mania moment.
If you guys do decide to go with the Era specific GM, I'm sure myself and a lot of other community members will work on characters to fill the roster for you to import.
Perfect video to start during my lunch break!
It’s my birthday and this is the BEST! GIFT! EVER!!!
Use more custom renders. I checked CC last week and there are a ton. It would be cool to see them in game like 2K23
If you’re going to do an attitude era runbut are worried about the number of people you have access to on CC you can always bolster the roster with 80s and early 00s guys. Any of those guys who come up on CC probably worked indies during the 90s
If you use the legends from the game in the draft they ask for like 500-700k because of their ring level so you’d be better off turning them into caws
1:14:37 Nope, cards don't carry over to the next season anymore (sadly)
Teddy getting the tag match trophy made the most sense
idea for your attitude era My GM: since you guys don't typically watch the matches you could use blank CAWs with renders of wrestlers and then in the custom draft pool adjust everyone's class, role, popularity, status, etc.

I have watched 4 seasons of Jericho throwing over and over. I am done NXTing
Love the idea of 90s attitude era - alternative time line lol.
PLEASE CARRY THIS ON ITS SO GUD
Johnny in week 24 has two fall count anywhere power cards, books a falls count anywhere match, doesn’t use one of the cards. SMH
WAIT WHAT'S KEVIN OWENS DOING ON THE GRASS KNOLL IN DES MOINES
CUSTOM. GM. MODE. FOR. SEASON. TWO
For CAWs, you can change Popularity, fighting style (Giant, Cruiser, etc.) and face/heel.

I would love to see a my eras on WWE 2k25 like NBA 2k25
I'd love for next season to be on Normal mode. Hard mode was good for a season but IDK if I can watch another empty arena wrestlemania lol The different era idea sounds like a lot of fun too, hopefully you guys give it a shot
let's go future of the business always ready
Almost missed the WRASTLEMANIA train, Brother. What?
Next season Wolfgang gang should uk brian lee and start DOA 2000 with some bald dudes
The only problem I can see with an Attitude Era GM Mode is the lack of women.
my comfort series has come to a close ;-;
A season mode reset would be pretty damn awesome
WRESTLEMANIA COMEEE ONNNN!!!
Please do a custom CAW season I BEG YOU!!!!!!
Wolfgong was based for that entrance alone. RIP
I love the idea of doing a CAW heavy time period or faves draft, though I will warn you guys that it doesn’t really allow you to control certain aspects when you do this.

Roman accelerated that Duke feud in the worst way 😅😅 sent it into hyperdrive
A new NL video on my birthday?! I love it
Thank you for longing our brains❤
Been fun, fellas!
You can change roles, popularity, and class, stamina is random. As for CAWS I don't understand it fully. I have used several and I even lowered their pop to under 20. They have different experience levels though. Some are level 5 but others at level 10. I don't fully understand why that is.
Good job boys. Please do more. Please.
Dynamite finish boys! ❤🎉🎉🎉
1:16:55 Jawnny with the Psychostick shout out!
My brain cannot possibly get any lon… nope, there it goes.
Who is still waiting for Wrestling Empire gm mode part 2
LOOKS LIKE WE MADE IIIIT!
I'd love it if you boiz put some nL legends in the next draft like Ogle and Al Ian
Definitely am all for a reset, but CAWs in GM Mode generally suck regardless of what way you set them up. Unfortunate, but like, their pop and whatnot is effed up IIRC. I'd just lower difficulty and go from there, so that way trophies aren't glitched/bugged this time around.
Just wanted to say Happy Thanksgiving, everybody!
Im in favor of a reset because you didnt edit the draft pool so you're missing out on all the alt versions of wrestlers
Hell yeah
Never been this early !!!!
shamrock is in the game
2:20:03 Legit scared me more than Taker ever did.
Ohhhhh Myyyyy
I think you should restart but have a bunch of CAWs of talent not in WWE (malakai black, mansoor, etc) and edit the draft pool
Gang!!
Watching this while eating a MCrib, drinking a crispy diet coke. Happy Thanksgiving pilgrims
can you guys do a season whit only locals (jobbers)? in draft pool you can chance locals to actives
I agree with slip. Electric callboy is fucking sweet
THAT'S THAT REAL SHIT RIGHT HERE
@@SlipVayneHead now for that real test tho. fav song???
CAWs in MyGM kinda sucks because almost everyone is either a Fighrer or Specialist. You can change their classes but you'd have to do it manually for each one by going in the main roster menu outside of mygm.
I think you can also change it when you make a custom draft pool before starting a season in mygm
Notification gang
