Unlock the Secrets Behind Crazy Time Evolution: A Complete Guide to Mastering the Game
I remember the first time I fired up MyRise mode in WWE 2K25, expecting a straightforward wrestling career narrative. What I encountered instead was this bizarre hybrid experience that somehow managed to be both entertaining and utterly confusing at the same time. As someone who's spent over 200 hours across various WWE 2K titles, I can confidently say that MyRise represents one of gaming's most peculiar evolution stories - what I like to call the "Crazy Time Evolution" phenomenon. This mode has transformed from a simple career simulator into something far more complex and, frankly, strange.
The evolution of wrestling games has always fascinated me, particularly how developers balance authenticity with entertainment value. While Showcase mode clearly targets history buffs with its recreation of classic WWE moments, and Universe mode serves the fantasy bookers who want complete control, MyRise occupies this weird middle ground that's neither fully realistic nor completely fantastical. I've noticed through playing multiple iterations that this mode consistently delivers unexpected laughs, though the developers probably didn't intend all of them. The voice acting has this charming roughness to it that somehow adds to the experience rather than detracting from it, creating moments that feel both authentic and slightly off-kilter.
What really strikes me about MyRise's evolution is how it awkwardly straddles the line between kayfabe and reality. For those unfamiliar with wrestling terminology, kayfabe refers to the portrayal of staged events as real within the wrestling world. MyRise tries to have it both ways - presenting a story that's supposed to be taken seriously while simultaneously winking at the audience about its artificial nature. This creates this fascinating cognitive dissonance where you're never quite sure how invested you're supposed to be in the narrative. I've found myself simultaneously engaged in the story while also questioning its logic, which creates this unique gaming experience that's hard to find elsewhere.
The real value of MyRise, in my experience, lies in its reward structure rather than its narrative coherence. Over my approximately 15-20 hour playthrough of the current iteration, I unlocked around 45 unique items including alternate attires, championship belts, and even some hidden characters that aren't available through other modes. This loot system provides tangible incentives to push through the sometimes-bizarre storytelling. I'd estimate that about 65% of players who start MyRise actually complete it, primarily because the customization options and exclusive content provide compelling reasons to see the story through to its conclusion.
From a game design perspective, MyRise represents what I call "controlled chaos" in gaming evolution. The developers have clearly decided that traditional career mode storytelling doesn't work as well in today's gaming landscape, where players expect both depth and unpredictability. Instead of polishing the mode to perfection, they've embraced its rough edges, creating an experience that feels more like an interactive B-movie than a slick Hollywood production. This approach won't appeal to everyone - particularly new players who might prefer the more straightforward Showcase mode - but for veterans like myself, it offers this unique charm that's become increasingly rare in big-budget games.
What continues to surprise me is how MyRise has evolved into this annual tradition that players both criticize and anticipate. Each year brings a new saga that's equally ambitious and flawed, creating this weird gaming ritual where we collectively experience and dissect its peculiar narrative choices. The mode has developed this cult following precisely because of its imperfections rather than despite them. I've found myself looking forward to each new installment not because I expect a perfectly crafted story, but because I'm curious about what strange directions the developers will take next.
The beauty of MyRise's crazy time evolution lies in its refusal to conform to expectations. While other sports games strive for realism and authenticity, this mode dances to its own rhythm, creating moments that range from genuinely touching to downright absurd. I've come to appreciate this approach because it reflects wrestling itself - a form of entertainment that balances athleticism with theater, reality with fantasy. MyRise captures this essence in ways that more polished modes simply can't, even if it occasionally stumbles in the process.
After spending countless hours with various WWE 2K titles, I've concluded that MyRise represents gaming's equivalent of a cult classic film - flawed, unconventional, but ultimately memorable. Its evolution hasn't followed a traditional improvement trajectory but rather this winding path of experimentation and occasional missteps that somehow coalesce into an experience greater than the sum of its parts. For players willing to embrace its peculiar charms and look past its narrative inconsistencies, MyRise offers a gaming experience that's truly unique in the sports simulation landscape. It may not be the mode I'd recommend to newcomers, but for veterans seeking something different, it provides this refreshing alternative to the more serious-minded modes that dominate the genre.
We are shifting fundamentally from historically being a take, make and dispose organisation to an avoid, reduce, reuse, and recycle organisation whilst regenerating to reduce our environmental impact. We see significant potential in this space for our operations and for our industry, not only to reduce waste and improve resource use efficiency, but to transform our view of the finite resources in our care.
Looking to the Future
By 2022, we will establish a pilot for circularity at our Goonoo feedlot that builds on our current initiatives in water, manure and local sourcing. We will extend these initiatives to reach our full circularity potential at Goonoo feedlot and then draw on this pilot to light a pathway to integrating circularity across our supply chain.
The quality of our product and ongoing health of our business is intrinsically linked to healthy and functioning ecosystems. We recognise our potential to play our part in reversing the decline in biodiversity, building soil health and protecting key ecosystems in our care. This theme extends on the core initiatives and practices already embedded in our business including our sustainable stocking strategy and our long-standing best practice Rangelands Management program, to a more a holistic approach to our landscape.
We are the custodians of a significant natural asset that extends across 6.4 million hectares in some of the most remote parts of Australia. Building a strong foundation of condition assessment will be fundamental to mapping out a successful pathway to improving the health of the landscape and to drive growth in the value of our Natural Capital.
Our Commitment
We will work with Accounting for Nature to develop a scientifically robust and certifiable framework to measure and report on the condition of natural capital, including biodiversity, across AACo’s assets by 2023. We will apply that framework to baseline priority assets by 2024.
Looking to the Future
By 2030 we will improve landscape and soil health by increasing the percentage of our estate achieving greater than 50% persistent groundcover with regional targets of:
– Savannah and Tropics – 90% of land achieving >50% cover
– Sub-tropics – 80% of land achieving >50% perennial cover
– Grasslands – 80% of land achieving >50% cover
– Desert country – 60% of land achieving >50% cover
