How to Import Your Superstar into MyRISE in WWE 2K22

Ever spent hours crafting a custom wrestler—fine‑tuning the look, the moves, the entrance—and then wondered why MyRISE seems to ignore it? You’re not alone. MyRISE, the career mode that dreams are made of, can be a little particular about the characters it accepts. Below is a practical, step‑by‑step guide that walks you through pulling your personal superstar from the roster into the storyline, plus a few troubleshooting nuggets for when things go sideways.

Why MyRISE Doesn’t See Your Custom Wrestler Right Away

MyRISE pulls its roster from a specific saved data file that only includes “official” wrestlers. When you create a Superstar in the general roster editor, the game stores it in a separate slot that MyRISE doesn’t scan automatically. The solution? Manually copy the character data into the MyRISE roster file.

Prepare Your Game Files

Before you start moving files around, make sure you have a clean save slot for MyRISE—preferably one you haven’t progressed too far in, just in case something goes wrong.

• Backup existing saves. Find the profiles folder (usually under Documents\My Games\WWE 2K22) and copy the entire profiles folder to a safe location.
• Locate the custom Superstar. It lives in profiles\profileX\SuperstarList.txt where X is your profile number.
• Find the MyRISE roster file. This is MyRISE_Roster.txt in the same profileX folder.

Step‑by‑Step Import Process

1. Export the Superstar Data

Open SuperstarList.txt with a plain‑text editor (Notepad works fine). Each line represents a wrestler, formatted like SuperstarID|Name|Attributes|Moveset|.... Identify the line that matches your custom wrestler—look for the name you gave it.

2. Duplicate the Entry

Copy the entire line, then paste it at the bottom of MyRISE_Roster.txt. Make sure there’s a line break before you paste, otherwise the file will treat the two entries as one garbled line.

3. Adjust the Superstar ID

MyRISE expects IDs within a certain range (usually 500‑599). If your copied line uses an ID outside that range, change the number to something free, like 501. Keep the rest of the line exactly as it appears.

4. Save and Test

Close both files, launch the game, and start MyRISE. When you hit the “Create a Superstar” screen, choose “Import Existing Superstar” (or a similar option, depending on your version). Your custom wrestler should now appear in the list.

Common Hurdles and How to Fix Them

• Duplicate IDs. If the game crashes or refuses to load, you likely assigned an ID already in use. Open MyRISE_Roster.txt and scan for the conflicting number, then pick a different one.
• Missing moves or entrance. Some custom movesets rely on DLC that MyRISE doesn’t load by default. Remove any DLC‑only moves from the line, or make sure the DLC is active in the game’s settings.
• Corrupted save. If the game won’t start after editing, restore the backup you made earlier. Then double‑check the formatting—no extra spaces, commas, or missing pipe symbols (|).

Alternative: Using the In‑Game “Import Superstar” Feature

WWE 2K22 introduced a limited built‑in import option in later patches. If you’re on the latest update, follow these quicker steps:

1. Enter MyRISE and select “Create a New Superstar.”
2. Choose “Import Existing Superstar” from the menu.
3. Navigate the list of saved wrestlers; your custom creation should appear automatically.

If it doesn’t show up, the manual method above is still your safest bet.

Fine‑Tuning Your Imported Superstar

Once the character is in MyRISE, you can still tweak a few things that affect career progression:

• Stat distribution. MyRISE scales challenges based on your wrestler’s overall rating. Consider boosting core stats like Power, Speed, and Stamina if you plan to climb the ladder quickly.
• Entrance length. Long entrances can raise your “Showmanship” metric but may also waste match time. Trim excess cutscenes in the editor if you favor a more efficient run.
• Signature moves. MyRISE occasionally rewards wrestlers who use their signature finisher. Ensure the move is correctly flagged in the Moveset field of the roster file.

Quick Recap (Bullet Form)

• Back up your profile folder.
• Open SuperstarList.txt and copy your wrestler’s line.
• Paste it into MyRISE_Roster.txt and assign a free ID (500‑599).
• Save, launch, and import via MyRISE’s menu.
• Troubleshoot duplicate IDs or missing DLC moves if needed.

With a bit of file‑hacking, your dream wrestler can finally step into the MyRISE spotlight. Whether you’re chasing the championship belt or just want to see your creation trade blows with legends, the process is straightforward once you know where the files live. Happy gaming, and may your Superstar’s rise be as epic as the entrance you designed.
