If you want to play the game without being forced to update and you don't want to have to try and mess around with going offline or whatever, here's a great solution! Make sure you set your Steam settings to only download the game when you launch it, so you'll see the warning sign (the big blue update button) before actually receiving the update. Anytime you see the update button, just edit your manifest file so Steam thinks it has the new update! Doing it this way will have two benefits - not only are you guarded from the update but you also KNOW there was an update. If, however, you don't even want to know there was going to be an update, you can most likely just go straight to making the below referenced appmanifest file "read only" before the next update drops and I don't think Steam will even alert you when there's a new patch at all (plz correct me if I'm wrong on that part). The file is within the Steam folders as found here: \Steam\steamapps\appmanifest_2315690.acf To block the update from being forced on you, open appmanifest_2315690.acf in a text editor and change the following 2 spots: 1 Change the "StateFlags" value to 4 2 Replace the "manifest" ID number with the new Manifest ID found on this page here: https://steamdb.info/depot/2315691/ After changing those two values in the file, save it. Then right click the file and go to properties, and mark the file READ ONLY so Steam doesn't immediately overwrite it. EXIT STEAM, and when you run it again, the game should have the green play button. Eventually when you want to update to the newer patch, you can just go reverse the steps. Note: If when you reverse the steps you still can't download a new patch, make sure you found and reverted to the previous manifest ID on that website and also make sure "ScheduledAutoUpdate" value is set to "0". If you run into trouble and need help, feel free to ask!

SPECIAL THANKS TO : @Dirty Cheater@BlindedByTheGrace@me man@Cave Waverider These are my instructions on how to get The modern Brock Lesnar using Cheat Engine unlocked. This is what I did to get him. Others may have their own methods, but since no one has posted, I decided to. For those who want to experiment and can't wait for tools. These are the requirements that worked for ME. *BACK UP YOUR SAVE FILE JUST IN CASE YOU FUBAR IT* *WARNING - THIS WILL UNLOCK BROCK LESNAR BUT IT MAY LOCK ANOTHER MyFACTION CHARACTER LIKE SHEAMUS SINCE THE OFFSETS ARE FROM WWE2K23 not WWE2K24* * TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK* 1) Requires Cheat Engine (I'm using 7.4) 2) Greasy speed like Mickey told Rocky Balboa (chasing chickens may help or not) 3) WWE2K23 unlock all data file posted in the WWE 2K23 modding forum. (Do a search) 4) HXD LAUNCH HXD AND OPEN THE FILE FROM THIS FORUM WWE2K23 UNLOCK ALL DATA/CLICK SELECT ALL AND COPY Start up WWE 2K24 Go into the roster section Launch Cheat Engine and select PROCESS running WWE 2K24 Change Value type to ARRAY Of BYTES and TYPE C06911000000 SELECT THE FIRST ADDRESS IN GREEN ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE, RIGHT CLICK IT, SELECT BROWSE THIS MEMORY REGION, SELECT THE FIRST 2 BYTES AND PASTE THE FILE COPIED FROM HXD. CHEAT ENGINE WILL FREEZE. LET IT DO ITS THING. WHEN THE HOURGLASS STOPS. GO BACK TO THE MAIN SCREEN OF CHEAT ENGINE AND NOW TYPE IN THE IN THE VALUE FIELD 57 01 00 00 57 01 Click FIRST SCAN In the FOUND AREA select the FIRST ADDRESS FOUND, RIGHT CLICK IT, AND SELECT BROWSE THIS MEMORY REGION WHEN THAT BOX OPENS, CLICK ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE WHITE SPACE AND SELECT DISPLAY TYPE-2 BYTE DECIMAL COUNTING FROM LEFT TO RIGHT WHEN YOU REACH THE 20th section, CHANGE THE NUMBER 0 to 1 SELECT ANY WRESTLER, CHANGE ANY OPTION AND SAVE IF YOU DID EVERYTHING RIGHT, YOU SHOULD NOW SEE BROCK LESNAR AVAILABLE WITH ONE OF THOSE DEFAULT SHADOW RENDERS QUICKLY GO INTO CREATE A SUPERSTAR SELECT BROCK LESNAR and CHANGE USE ALTERNATE ATTIRE TO NO SAVE - DO NOT UPLOAD TO CC - HE WILL BE LOCKED FOR OTHERS WITH MyRISE REQUIREMENTS THAT THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO UNLOCK. AT THIS POINT, DEPENDING ON YOUR SPEED, THE GAME MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE CRASHED. EITHER WAY, EXIT OUT OF CHEAT ENGINE AND EXIT OUT OF WWE2K24. WHEN YOU RELAUNCH WWE 2K24, YOU WILL NOTICE THAT THE BROCK LESNAR WITH THE SHADOW RENDER IS NO LONGER THERE AND HAS RETURNED TO THE SHADOW REALM, BUT THE ONE YOU CREATED/COPIED FROM HIM IS THERE. CHANGE HIS NAME FOR ALT.ATTIRE ACCORDINGLY TO BROCK LESNAR. HE WILL HAVE BROCK LESNAR'S ENTRANCE, MOVESETS, ATTRIBUTES, TRON, with an OVR 94. THIS CAN BE DONE WITH OTHER WRESTLERS WHO ARE STILL LOCKED/HIDDEN. I ONLY DID IT FOR BROCK AND EL ORDINARIO. VINCE WAS ALREADY UNLOCKED IN CC. CAUTION: I DON'T KNOW IF THIS WILL AFFECT YOUR SAVE FILE IN THE FUTURE WHEN TOOLS OR OTHER METHODS ARE INTRODUCED. TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK AND REMEMBER TO BACKUP YOUR SAVE BEFORE STARTING. DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT A PROGRAMMER OR TEACHER OR EXPERT ON THIS. I JUST FIND IT MORE FUN THAN PLAYING THIS GAME. I DON'T DO VIDEOS OR TUTORIALS. THIS IS ABOUT AS MUCH OF A TUTORIAL AS I CAN MUSTER. *UPDATE - With Commentary * STEPS TO ADD BROCK'S COMMENTARY 1) First go to Community Creations and look for BROCK LESNAR '14 From Showcase. The one you are looking for has a Render with Red/Black Shorts and says Full Commentary,Tron, Music. Download that. 2) Look on these forums for @Dirty Cheater topic Cheat Engine Use and download his Cheat Engine File. Credit to @Dirty Cheater for his file. We will NOT be changing genders. We will be using it to find the offsets of YOUR CAW. 3) Once you have downloaded BROCK LESNAR '14 and Unlocked BROCK LESNAR modern with my instructions up top. You will launch Cheat Engine, OPEN DIRTY CHEATER's Script, and click the GREEN BOX ONLY. Go into the Roster and find BROCK LESNAR '14 then using Dirty Cheaters Script, RIGHT CLICK HIS OFFSET/BROWSE THIS MEMORY REGION. On the 5th OFFSET, COPY EVERYTHING DOWN AND PASTE INTO NOTEPAD. It should look something similar to this somewhat. In this case the 5th offset is 3919 - make sure you are displaying in 2byte Decimal. Copy everything down until you reach about the same length with the 3 zeros at the end. 0 1030 0 0 3919 10285 4401 34143 31645 32127 51650 37407 25488 3506 43781 30344 4012 30 1 286 2 2 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 256 257 257 1 0 514 514 514 0 0 65535 65535 65535 65535 65535 65535 65535 65535 65535 65535 2000 0 34465 1 2305 61 5697 64 2000 0 34465 1 2305 61 5697 64 2000 0 34465 1 2305 61 5697 64 2000 0 34465 1 2305 61 5697 64 2000 0 34465 1 2305 61 5697 64 2000 0 34465 1 2305 61 5697 64 2000 0 34465 1 2305 61 5697 64 2000 0 34465 1 2305 61 5697 64 2000 0 34465 1 2305 61 5697 64 2000 0 34465 1 2305 61 5697 64 1858 57944 23135 20570 11555 20560 21845 20555 21845 19285 24415 14140 20550 24415 11051 11051 13630 22079 11350 11842 4438 3085 14092 14400 15934 12094 9532 42 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 9316 5652 22 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 55482 12890 41286 0 0 0 41649 34518 20057 0 57 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 45644 50212 19720 8473 0 0 255 0 256 256 1 0 1461 0 266 0 345 0 0 0 346 0 348 0 347 0 1556 0 0 0 0 0 343 0 343 0 343 0 343 0 343 0 443 0 1152 0 26009 0 0 0 511 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 65280 65535 65280 65535 65280 65535 65280 65535 65280 65535 65280 65535 65280 65535 65280 65535 65280 65535 65280 65535 65280 65535 65280 65535 65280 65535 65280 65535 65280 65535 65280 65535 65280 65535 65280 65535 65280 65535 65280 65535 65280 65535 65280 65535 65280 65535 65280 65535 0 0 0 4) Now find the modern BROCK LESNAR you unlocked and using the same method as above, find his offsets and paste the BROCK LESNAR '14 offsets over his. REMEMBER TO CHANGE SOMEONE'S ATTRIBUTES & SAVE! If you did this correctly, he will have all the commentary from the game. One last thing. Go into CC and change his presentation to Nickname 'The Beast' first name Brock. The announcer will announce him right and no longer say 'The Superstar'. P.S. He will have the default black gloves, shoes, and shorts. Just take one from CC that you like and copy the attire for him. P.S.S. I'm not here to discuss whether Brock or Vince are innocent or guilty. In layman's terms, IDGAF. You can have that discussion on your own time at the dinner table while you continue to consume the product on T.V.

Very cool. I don't know how 2k23 and 2k24 data line up, but apparently the file from 2k23 will unlock at least most of the my faction characters for a time. Very good to know. I don't guess most of us know all what characters are available this year to unlock from my faction. It's fun to discover these things. Definitely the more people poke at these things and share their findings, the more it motivates others to do the same. I guess that's why I got a special mention here. I didn't discover anything groundbreaking, but I did get some discussion rolling about pofo discovery and modding not long after 2k23's release, that may have motivated others. Of course a few updates later they make everything harder, then 1.21 made it much harder still. Glad to see the perseverance through the obstacles.

I'm finally starting to take a look at it. In my early tests I found the match rule modifier stuff! That's always what I look for first. Also found some MvF options but it might not work as great as last year. Not sure when I'll have time to make these into actual cheat tables but hopefully sometime soon.
