New paybacks missing

[1wingedangel527]

hey lads, anyone else missing all the new paybacks in normal game modes (excluding island)
?
are those unlock by completing showcase or something ?

I know one is located in MyRise. Unlocked w/The Manifestation after 150 or something stars worth of matches. I don't know of any others.

Hate having to play stuff that have 0 interest in to get stuff to use in stuff am interested in.

Yeah noticed only one payback locked in MyRise mode. Grinding almost all day. Done with MyFaction tours and persona cards as well as Towers. Now grinding MyRise. All I want to play is MyGM mode and Play mode. Very occasionally Universe Mode but to unlock the roster and things like arenas, paybacks etc I am compelled to grind and not a short grind - rather for weeks across all modes - and not interesting new stuff but say the same story 4 times at least in MyRise and I don't know how the word tour in myfaction is any different - just a string of difficult matches put up in a sequence with little story by way of text.

I respect unlockables just like they used to exist in Smackdown and SvR series but I can't respect grinding. There is a world of difference between the game design for story mode and season mode in the original games and 2K games now which seem to increase replayability by way of grinding over the same little story without allowing players to skip cutscenes. I feel like questioning the lead game designers choice as to whether they were under pressure from the profit and loss statement and the analytics team.
