CAW Career progression system in Universe Mode

[Mista Li]

I'm working on a pen & paper system that could be used to simulate a career for a CAW in Universe mode, using XP gains per appearances, wins etc. I overhauled the original idea from TigerMuppetCut over on Critical! Club for Fire Pro Wrestling World, and changed it to better fit the 2K games.

 

Very simple, you gain a set amount of XP for competing / being booked, and more if you win. You spend XP on improving your CAW. I also made use of the Star Match rating in 2K18/2K19 so that if you put on a good match, you gain more XP. Its not difficult at all to keep track of your XP, though i've set the cost for purchasing new moves and skills pretty high for those like me who like slower progression. Its a flexible system and if progression is too slow, just adjust the costs to suit your liking. I made this just for myself to have some fun with, but thought maybe others would find it useful. It can be used for 2K18 too, if you just leave out the new abilities and payback system etc.

 

It may look daunting at first, but thats only because I copied and pasted the descriptions of every single ability, for those who aren't familiar with the abilities in WWE2K18. Once you ignore all that additional info, its actually a very straightforward system.

 

There's still a fair bit to be fully fleshed out, such as purchasing attribute points, title wins / defense bonuses etc, but here is the guide so far.

If anyone has any feedback or suggestions on how this can be improved i'd love to hear it. Cheers.
