WWE 2K19 Reviews
Even though WWE 2K19 doesn't offer the graphical overhaul the franchise so desperatly deserves, it takes quite a few steps in the right direction. Its new modes are fun, the Showcase mode makes a triumphant return and its new features are well thought out. WWE 2K19 clearly gives WWE fans something to have a good time with.

It definitely has its issues, but WWE 2K19 is the best game in the 2K series so far. Packed with content to work through and enjoyable MyCareer and Showcase modes, you'd be remiss not to give it a crack if you're a wrestling fan.
From the surprisingly varied and fun single player options to the customization suites that have come into their own and endless multiplayer, WWE 2K19 is a wrestling game that feels closer to how fans picture a "wrestling game" than the series has in several years. It isn't without its issues, but the efforts to keep this ship sailing are tangible here in ways I wasn't seeing in the recent past.
There's no doubt that WWE 2K19 is the best series offering of this generation.
WWE 2K19 is an incredibly comprehensive sandbox, offering the chance to run the show as you see fit and recreate just about anything you might have seen on TV, but long time fans of the franchise might well be disappointed by an unchanged combat system and a story mode held back by monetization tactics.
This year's installment of digital WWE action helps the franchise climb to the position of an upper-mid card talent.
WWE 2K19 has several noticeable improvements this year and an impressive character roster. The current MyCareer mode is a welcome addition to WWE 2K19, but it needs some tweaks to make it better. This is a fun wrestling game that nonetheless has some flaws holding it back, but at least now the future looks bright for it.
It is safe to say that WWE 2K19 takes the crown from its predecessor by giving another shot to the 2K Showcase and implementing several improvements in gameplay and sound design, and convinces the players to spend more time playing it; and although some issues are still remaining, WWE 2K series has the potential to become one of the best sports series in the coming years.

WWE 2K19 can completely relay WWE's atmosphere. High customization with a lot of details, good story mode and good excitement are reasons why this game is one of the best WWE 2K games in the recent years. But technical issues in different parts of the game prevent WWE 2K19 to show its full potential.

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.
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.
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.
It isn't perfect, but the experience has been worth the investment. WWE 2K19 has successfully pivoted the franchise in a better direction and should be enough to restore hope and faith moving forward.
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.

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

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.
All things considered, WWE 2K19 is a decent entry into the long-running series. Boasting more game modes and customisation options than you can shake a Kendo stick at. What holds it back, however, is the core mechanics. A breath of fresh air in last year's game, they lack any additional refinement, leaving them feeling overly complex and finicky. Which ultimately serves as a reminder that, as enjoyable as WWE 2K19 can be, if the series is ever to recapture the ineffable brilliance of No Mercy and other such classics, it desperately needs a rather large dose of innovation.
This year's WWE 2K release does a lot of things right but still has a way to go in order to lock down the genre with fans.
Overall, this year's game is one of the better ones that I have played in years. With the inclusion of voice acting for your main character in career mode, to the showcase mode taking one of my favorite wrestlers, Daniel Bryan, and walking through his career, it makes for a really fun and good time. They really worked on making a lot of different modes for people to have a lot of fun with, and it seems to be working, for me at least.
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.
