On August 18th, 2018, I officially ended Season Three of my Universe Mode with my second WrestleMania. In a blog update a few days later, I basically confirmed that the longest running series on Henry's World will continue, and that is still my plan. In January 2019, Henry's Universe Mode will enter Season Four with the second WWE Draft. However, at the start of each season, I always like to change things up to keep the series fresh, and I've got a few ideas that I'll share with you today. Let's get started. Henry's Universe Mode: Season 4 Plans - First off, this is a standard one, but it goes without saying that Season Four will be on WWE 2k19. I'm pretty excited about the new release, and 2k has added some nice new features this year that I likely will be using. Nothing huge; just a few tweaks here and there. - If you've looked at my wiki lately, you'll note that I've shifted away from using a real-life calendar. I found it to...

Almost every team eclipses 100 points in a wild Week 4. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com) Game 1: Tug of War(148.76) vs Ridiculous Rascals(107.58) ANALYSIS Tug of War retakes first place, mostly thanks to the contributions of Alvin Kamara(36.1 points) and Matt Ryan(29.26 points). For the most part, it was a good game for their entire team, as almost everyone had their best game of the season. The one outlier was Jordan Howard(2.5 points), and his starting spot is now in jeopardy, coming off of his worst game and then going directly into a bye week. For Rascal, Drew Brees(8.58 points) failed to get anything going in a tough game against the Giants, limiting the team's performance.
