WWE 2K19 Reviews
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

WWE 2K19 dials up everything from its previous releases and makes something worth spending money for a wrestling game that feels more refined and polished. Some issues still persist, but the number of ways to play and the re-introduction of the Showcase gives more than enough reasons to play and enjoy the world of wrestling entertainment.
2K’s latest wrestling game brings back some of the missing fun to the series and thrusts the series back to what fans expect. A definite suggested pick up for all WWE fans.
Under this luchador mask lies a familiar game with a lot of the same old issues, but somehow there is even more fun to be had, with a new impressive look, a good bit of polish, and some features reminiscent of its younger self.
Building on the good and fixing some of the worst from recent entries, WWE 2K19 finally breaks through and gives us our first legitimately good WWE game on current generation consoles.
The only way 2K and the WWE will listen is if their poor excuse for a video game doesn’t sell. That way we might finally get the Stone Cold Steve Austin level game we deserve, not the Baron Corbin level game we have been getting.
WWE 2K19 is the best wrestling game in recent years
If you like the WWE 2K series, you probably don't need this review anyway. With everything said and done, WWE 2K18 is still a competent recreation of modern pro wrestling that can provide a fair bit of fun for some time. The Community Creations servers are already filled with surprisingly life-life player created versions of the missing wrestlers, not that that should be an excuse to axe them from the official offering. Now, can someone port Pro Wrestling '86 to the Switch, please?
Overall, I found WWE 2K19 to be an enjoyable game.
Bugs and not-so subtle attempts to get you to give 2K more money aside, WWE2K19 is the most polished instalment in the franchise to date. There is a wealth of game modes and wrestlers that compliment a satisfying core gameplay in-ring experience. Showcase is all the better for focusing on Daniel Bryan and all things considered WWE remains a Stone Cold Stunner.
All in all, WWE2K19 has its ups and downs. I really enjoyed the Showcase mode and wish they had turned the tutorial into this but making objectives for you to complete rather than text pop ups. The customization options are ridiculous in such a good way for wrestlers and the content will surely keep you busy for a long time. The gameplay lacks and is better when you turn the counter limits off and the difficulty down but that is only from my experience. There is a lot here for a wrestling fan and you won’t be disappointed but they definitely need to fix the in-ring experience.
While some things still need to be worked on to return WWE games to the golden age of the PS1/2 era, this is the best wrestling game that has been turned out over the last 5 years. 2K seems to have finally listened to the calls of fans and critics alike and have managed to make a successful overhaul of their series work in just a year. In closing my review of WWE 2K18 last year, I vowed I wouldn’t be trying another WWE game for a few years, but I just couldn’t help myself. And I’m glad I’ve had the opportunity to renege on my promise because I got to witness what could be the rebirth of top-tier WWE gaming.
I’d argue that wrestling aficionados will still find WWE 2K19 to be joyous in short spells and it’s definitely an improvement, so it’s worth a look. Maybe, just maybe, wait for a sale if you’re not entirely convinced
If you’re a WWE fan, you’d be silly to miss out.
At the end of the day, WWE 2K19 has its praises and its disappointments. But as seen from the developers, they make it a habit to listen to their audience and improve where it needs to improve.
For all you wrestling fans out there I would seriously consider having WWE 2K19 on your Christmas list as it is great for both solo and multiplayer gaming, just what you need in the festive period.
WWE 2K19, one of a kind. But WWE 2K19 does not offer new gameplay mechanics this year.

WWE 2K19 has its problems, but it's a worthwhile title for both newcomers and veterans of the series. Wrestling fans won't be disappointed.

WWE 2K19 manages to remedy at least in part the mistakes of the past, providing the player with a solid and rewarding experience while not being without flaws. If, over the years, this growth were to take hold, we would be able to gradually approach an ever higher quality level and increasingly exciting challenges. And we, with all our heart, hope so.
