WWE 2K19 Reviews
WWE 2K19 rises above its ridiculous grinding requirements and bugs to deliver an otherwise high quality professional wrestling experience with plenty of content.
WWE 2K19 is a rebound in the right direction, but it is held back by many long-standing issues.
A spectacular throwback to the era when wrestling games were must-own. Add live – or even quarterly – updates to 2K20 and it'll be a first-ballot Hall of Famer.
While not much has changed between the ropes, WWE 2K19 gives you more reasons to play by featuring a plethora of new modes and content.
There's no doubt that WWE 2K19 is the best series offering of this generation.
It is a massive improvement for the series, with plenty of great modes to choose from, along with so many great wrestlers past and present to wrestle with. It finally feels like things are looking up for WWE 2K.
WWE2K19 is a installment the franchise never needed , sadly there's very few differences between this one and WWE2K18, however the game would have completely fall without the entertaining online Features and the depth of the career mode

This puts me in a weird spot. For better or worse, I really think WWE 2K19 really captures the current WWE product very well while also commending those who have made their way to the squared circle in years past. It presents some solid ideas that are really needed to make this series worthwhile. Unfortunately, like almost every iteration before this, those ideas are not executed well. This is primarily due to gameplay. While there are some great implementations like the payback and overcharge abilities, it is still the same ol' gameplay you know from the series. Yet again, if you are into the WWE, you may find some enjoyment. Anyone outside of the WWE universe may find it hard to hit the ropes on this one.
Taking advantage of the great leap of quality with 2K18, WWE 2K19 presents the largest offer of game modes to have us stuck to the virtual ring another year.

WWE 2K19 maxes out all of the incumbent concepts from recent games in the franchise, and this is a solid and more polished release than we've seen from some recent versions. You'll likely have fun with the game and all of its layers. However, there is potential for true greatness with this series, but the WWE and the development team have to be willing to take some chances.
If you didn't like previous WWE 2K games, then WWE 2K19 isn't going to change your mind. However, if you're like me and have always had a soft spot for this series, then you won't be disappointed.
The quality of any given WWE 2K game is a gamble year to year, but 2K19 manages to claw its way up from being buried alive by the travesty of last year's entry. Daniel Bryan's Showcase is a clear highlight as are the mostly welcome mechanical changes. Here's hoping they don't regress again in 2019.
WWE 2K19 improves in almost any way the last year's edition. It's a rich and engrossing game... with some visual flaws.

WWE 2K19 is the best wrestling game in the series since it came to 2K Games. His new story mode is very funny and 2K Showcase is back. At last, WWE 2K19 is the game that wrestling fans deserved.

If that reminds you of a situation that currently involves Roman Reigns, then you'll see why I'm so convinced WWE 2K19 is the best WWE port 2K Sports has ever made. Just like the real WWE, there are different audiences even within the same fandom, and there will be plenty of gamers who are blown away by the depth and tweaks made to WWE 2K19. WWE 2K19 is a great WWE game that is only a good wrestling game, and feels like it has reached the end of what is possible within the constraints of the WWE 2K series as we know it.
All in all, WWE 2K19 feels like a game in which annual players will find enough to enjoy, but anyone looking to make their way back into the ring is best to wait it out in the locker room for another year.
Can we stop with the loot box nonsense?
For now, this year's game fits solidly in the upper mid-card and I have an appreciation for where they come from compared to where they are now, and hope that next year they'll put the pieces together to really make something special. Which, honestly, feels about like watching the actual product around this time every year.
WWE 2K19 hasn't changed much at its core, but the smaller alterations to the overall package make it a vastly more enjoyable experience to previous instalments. Introducing a proper story to MyCareer gives players an actual reason to play it this year and it's a genuinely engaging experience. The increased depth of the player creation suite means each superstar feels different from the next, while quality of life improvements in Universe will be music to the ears of diehard fans. All of this adds up to make WWE 2K19 the best entry of this long-running series.
It's not all doom and gloom for WWE 2K19, not by a long shot, but the flaws seem to be ones that really don't need to be there.
