WWE 2K25 MyGM Mode Tips And Tricks

Keep Track Of Superstar Morale And Stamina

Keeping your superstars fit and happy is a massive part of being a General Manager. Morale determines your superstars’ loyalty to the brand, and stamina determines how well they perform in matches. If your superstar runs out of morale, they may leave you and join a rival brand. Similarly, Superstars could run out of stamina if overused, leading to injuries. A great way to combat the morale issue is to fulfill Superstar requests as often as possible. As for the stamina issue, prioritizing superstars with high stamina during the draft is a good idea. Proper booking, rest, and management are also great.  

Utilize Talent Scouts And Free Agents

The talent scout system returns to this year’s game, and for good reason. It is a great feature that allows you to search for superstars from a randomized pool of free agents every week. The specificity of this feature can be a real lifesaver should you need it. You can go in-depth into your requirements, from the superstars’ gender to their weight and promo skills. You can even get some legendary superstars through free agency. That could be very handy if you’re lagging behind your rivals and need an injection of a specific kind of talent from a superstar. Picking the missing piece to your brand’s puzzle from the free agents’ pool might help.

Pair The Right Superstars In Matches

When putting matches together, always keep in mind that there are specific molds that the fans respond to. Fans love a good David vs Goliath matchup, so Giant vs. Cruiserweight matches do well. Fighters vs. Bruisers kick up a lot of dust in their brutal back-and-forth/end-to-end matches, which fans appreciate. The classic good vs evil storyline is always a hit, so pitting faces against heels will always get high ratings. The results of your pairings and matchups can be significantly amplified if you properly fan the flames of any existing or brewing rivalries. The match types also play a massive role in boosting ratings.

Choose Your GM Wisely

WWE 2K25 is meant to be enjoyed; you’re supposed to have fun playing this game. That said, even within the fun aspects of the game, some areas require meticulous planning and strategizing. Choosing your GM is one of those more serious aspects of the game. If you’re simply playing to enjoy the game, you can pick whatever GM you gravitate towards most. However, choosing your GM with a strategy is wise if you’re in a more competitive scenario. For instance, if you utilize free agency more than most, then Nick Aldis’s ability to extend contracts will serve you greatly. In contrast, if you rely on rivalries, Adam Pearce’s instigator ability will work wonders for you.

Simulate Or Spectate?

In MyGM mode, you can play matches, simulate them, or spectate. Playing matches allows you to play through the matches on the card, simulated matches instantly generate results, and spectating enables you to watch the matches unfold with no control other than changing the camera angles. All three of these options are viable and have no real impact on match ratings as GM mode match ratings are determined by superstar popularity, in-ring XP, match type, and superstar classes and roles. You can play through the matches to have fun or simulate the matches if you’re in a hurry. However, if you’re after realism and keeping with the plot, then it makes the most sense that a GM would spectate the matches that they organized.

The Importance Of Rivalries

Intense rivalries are an easy and fun way to improve ratings, get better shows, and increase the popularity of your brand. Fanning the flames of existing rivalries or cultivating rivalries between your most popular superstars is a great idea. You can also go into the draft with rivalries in mind. By drafting a giant and a cruiserweight who will have legendary back-and-forths, you’ve set yourself up for success. The GM you select can also help significantly here. Earlier, we mentioned that Adam Pearce’s instigator ability directly impacts rivalries. You can also use Xavier Woods’s cheat code ability to aid rivalries. You could poach a superstar from your rival, who would make an excellent rival for one of the superstars on your roster. You could also poach a superstar in an active rivalry and do numbers for the rival brand, reducing their ratings and wrecking their plans.

You’ll Need To Fix Match Cards

Unlike in Universe mode, the match results in MyGM mode during simulation and spectating are not up to you and cannot be directly determined by you. That adds an air of unpredictability to the game mode and increases the fun. However, not knowing how a match will turn out sometimes may be problematic. Say you’ve set up a title match between a heel and a face with a level 4 rivalry on a big PPV. Naturally, you have someone in mind to win. Purchasing a “fix match card($15,000)” is a good idea. The storyline plays out precisely as you intended, and everyone walks away happy.

Promos Are Important

Promos are a massive part of MyGM mode as they are a considerable part of real-life wrestling entertainment. Promos are big for starting and progressing rivalries and for increasing superstar popularity. When drafting or signing superstars, looking at their promo skills is vital, as it will serve you well. You can also improve the promo skills of your superstars. As they participate in matches and promos, your superstars earn XP and ring experience. With enough XP, you can unlock perks for superstars that improve their promo skills and other aspects of their careers.

Choosing A Brand

Choosing your brand should be as carefully thought out as choosing your GM. Seven brands are available in the game, each with power card abilities that, when partnered with the correct GM power card abilities and a good strategy, could make you unstoppable in MyGM mode.
