In WWE 2K18's MyCareer Mode players have the ability to work towards the completion of two very different paths, Company Man or Fan Favorite. You don't necessarily have to only follow one of them - you will progress through both during your MyCareer, based on your MyPlayer match performances, promos, alliances, side quests and other actions.
Both paths consist of 10 Levels, which you unlock as your MyPlayer "influence" and "popularity" scores increase, and each level contains a host of rewards for your MyPlayer, such as access to clothing, moves and managers, as well as in-ring buffs, expanded freedom and special perks. Let's take an in-depth look at all the rewards you can obtain in WWE 2K18's MyCareer through both the Company Man and Fan Favorite paths!
Company Man Progression and Rewards
Going down the Company Man path in MyCareer means you’re all about helping the general managers (GMs). This involves conspiring with the GMs backstage, ambushing other WWE Superstars in the locker room or during their interviews and basically doing whatever it takes to maintain that GM’s power, both in the ring and backstage. The rewards are hefty, though! Continue helping the GM succeed, and you’ll gain access awesome upgrades, such as the ability to orchestrate a run-in to help you win a match, and the ability to access Vince McMahon’s office to lobby for match card changes and title rematches.
