eurogamer.net:

2K has revealed what's coming in its «innovative»," «franchise-first» new MyFaction Mode.

«MyFaction is a new take on a classic team-building mode in which players collect, manage, and upgrade an array of WWE Superstars and Legends to create their ultimate four-person factions,» 2K explains via a press release. «Managers and Side Plates boost performance, while Logos, Wallpapers, and Nameplates allow for creative customisation.»

There are three types of in-game currency available in MyFaction; Points, Tokens, and a virtual currency called, uh, Virtual Currency. Points can be exchanged for card packs and contracts, Tokens can be used in the Token Rewards market to unlock powerful WWE Superstar and Legend cards, and Virtual Currency is available for purchase and can be used «exclusively in MyFaction on card packs, boxes, and contracts».

2K recommends that players must «make important choices when it comes to selecting the best Superstars for their factions», and balance their roster according to muscle, speed, and martial arts prowess. To get the «countless combinations» right, «experimentation is encouraged».

Other rewards are available in MyFaction, too, including Weekly Towers and Faction Wars, and new themed card packs «will roll out frequently».
