    The best 2k game in my opinion. It got the best roster, gameplay is pretty good except some gameplay limitations that kinda sucks. My career is alright ig nothing that good really. Showcase was pretty good and just the overall gameplay and simulation is still fun to play to this day

    Game play is pretty good. Universe mode sucks. My carrer is good. Showcase is alright. AND....
    That's about it. Tbh pretty good. Not close to the older WWE games. But still not bad

    A pesar de que el wwe2k22 luce bastante atractivo creo que es más por lo diferente que es, lo nuevo siempre resultará atractivo. Para mi el juego definitivo de wwe2k es el wwe2k19. En general en el top 3 de juegos de wwe sólo detrás de 1- No mercy (64 nintendo) 2- Here come the pain 3- wwe 2k19.

    I think the best wwe 2k game is the best optimization on pc. There are over 100 rosters that are really good. Best game to play until 2k 22 comes out

    Bought it recently after the last one I played was WWE2k16 I guess. I really hated the submission mechanics and the poor graphics. I guess that is it for me with this series. Sad if I rethink my amazing times with the 2009 game.

    Difficulty in a custom character campaign is ridiculous sometimes and the plot is boring. No way of importing music for entrance and lack of create custom finisher option still hurts, but at least other tools for custom creations are well done.

    Overall I do really like this game, but the lack of depth in Universe Mode and the inconsistency in quality of player models keeps me from rating the game higher. Though I do agree that this is one of the best, if not THE best entry the series has ever seen, 2K has a lot of work to do with regards to adding depth to the game to give it a higher replay factor.

    o ultimo jogo bom da franquia ate em tão,em bora o modo historia um tanto quanto estranho,porem criativo ate momentos,mas decepciona em aspectos quanto "crie sua arena" e "personalize os personagens" que só funcionam assim com dificuldade,mas reservam bem o que tinha de bom na franquia,mesmo não evoluindo em grandes aspectos,e sobre bugs,realmente estão bem menores na aqui

The Creation Suite works flawlessly which is important to note as the next game in the series unfortunately has many problems in it's Creation Suite.

    The Gameplay is also better than ever, having a lot of Match Types & Options/Sliders to edit, the best controls and mini-games, the smartest and most entertaining A.I we've seen to date in the series and introducing the Payback mechanic. The speed of the game isn't slow, and it's not comically fast either, it's the perfect pace (the framerate is also great, a big step up from 2K18). The Gameplay department is another area in which 2K20 failed to improve on and is filled with bugs/bad A.I, further making 2K19 the greatest to date.

    Despite the room for error in a game as complex as a Wrestling video game, this game barely had any major glitches, and most of them were ironed out and fixed during the patch period. (Once again something that can't be said for 2K20). The biggest glitch left in the game is the fact interference seemingly no longer works in Steel Cage matches.

    Other notable features present are the robust large Roster, the revamped story-driven MyCareer mode, added customization features in Universe Mode such as the new MITB system and the Match Table editor, and the return of 2K Showcase Mode featuring Daniel Bryan's greatest matches.    … Expand

    With the largest roster, most mechanics and modes of any Wrestling game, 2k19 is certainly quite packed with things to do. And the improved sim-like gameplay makes playing it tactical and rewarding.

    The game is held back by some underdeveloped modes and some presentation issues, but as a whole it's a step forward for the franchise

    I really enjoy this game and I have been having quite a bit of fun with it.

The roster, championship customization, wrestler customization, entrance customization, arena customization, the amount of match types, and the overall gameplay are all good. The best thing about this game in my opinion, is without a doubt how much customization there is. The amount of customization in this game is insane, it can be a little overwhelming at times (Which I don't mean as a bad thing). However, I do have a few issues and nitpicks with this game. First off, I wish there was a way to turn off or adjust the "overall" (Without an accelerator pack I have to pay extra for) and payback mechanics to make 2 Player Mode more balanced and make wrestlers like Kalisto or Adam Cole actually stand a chance against other wrestlers like Brock Lesnar, Stone Cold, or The Rock. Second, I wish you earned more V-Coins because it seems like you barely earn any, even if your matches are 5 stars and it makes trying to get every wrestler, championship, and arena take FOREVER, it is insane. Third, there are a considerable amount of glitches and bugs while playing like the wacky hair physics, the ring ropes, and sometimes your character just keeps glitching while they are setting up their finisher, the graphics look a bit outdated at times, and the gameplay while good, isn't perfect. It seems like a few times when I try to do a reversal, it doesn't register and like I said before, it can get glitchy while playing. Another thing which isn't necessarily a problem within the game, but I think were missed opportunities. I wish they included more arenas like more Wrestlemania, SummerSlam, and past Raw & Smackdown arenas like the ones from 2002 to 2016, etc. I understand that you can just customize that but not only does that take a long time for each one you create, they don't always come out accurate, the effects on the screen and presentation aren't the same and the announcers don't announce which Pay-Per View it is. One other thing is that I wish the announcers didn't always repeat the same things, it can get repetitive and wish sometimes, they said nothing at all. Overall, this game has its flaws but I still think it is a good wrestling game and a pretty good game in general. I rated this a 10 because I don't think it deserves a 5.7 user score, my real score would be an 7.9/10.… Expand

    The game is a big step forward towards the rebuilding of the series, and other than universe mode, replay abilities and bugs, thus game is overall really good! Better than any 2K game!(except 2k14)

    Compared to the previous 2K installments it was slightly better. Still glitchy and buggy in most ways and I couldn't get myself hooked to the main storyline since the voice acting was cringey to me. Also when it came to gameplay I found my character flying through the ring whenever he was grappled or thrown. Mainly bland overall though.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In reality the game was build for the 4k machines not 2k consoles. Graphics looks terrible. Where is real laser scanning? Arenas and crowds look blurry and unrealistic. Build a new wrestling game from scratch. Gameplay is a disaster. Wwe 12 is the overall winner here. Graphics is beaten by wwe 17. Some superstars are better. Where is realistic entrances. Even the smoke needs to improve and lighting . Scan real arenas. Commentary is better out of all. We want a real wrestling game. Build new engine. Take a one year break and build new game then you will win back your regular fans… Expand

    Though there is a lot of improvements here, the AI is still silly. That's all I can say... They reverse literally everything possible making this game not being fun at all. You barely get an advantage and as soon as you do, they will instantly reverse you. They really need to balance the AI in this game out.

Just a series of random matches is not how I want to continue MyCareer. MyCareer should be a Career not a few months. Not saying I need it to be ten years long but allowing fueds, create tag teams/stables and retire should be apart of it. Like NBA 2K, if you meet the criteria, you make the Hall. The are hundreds of cutscenes in the game already, their is not reason they can't be used for MyCareer. To add insult to injury, mindless grinding for hours and hours and capping at 91 is ridiculous. The Prestige Levels are cool but the gear is not sufficient reward. I really enjoyed previous editions where you could inport a friend's CAS and the ability to export your own CAS for play in other modes. I recommend XP or VC should be used for attributes and style points be used for moves and attire. I look forward to next year's game and hope it brings more to this mode. Also, give us a WOMEN story mode!… Expand

A year in year out release my sound good but you only have to look at Assassins Creed to see that the formula doesn’t work all too well.

    I get the landscape of WWE changes quicker than the 1 2 3 but a game needs to provide a concrete sustainable function of gameplay to provide a way for players to enjoy it. Now WWE 2k19 is not bad in fact it is probably the best since 2k took over the franchise, obviously props to 2k14 for story mode but we’ll move on.

    2k19 basks in good gameplay, lovely graphics and an expansive way to create your own shows and wrestlers. The return of showcase was a nice addition and the towers was another way to last your time with the game. But underneath the layers of content poured out by the new release lies the same old concept of glitches (though I must say not as much), A few persistent errors with the creation suite and overall a carbon copy of last years with a few decorative modes.

    I will say I enjoy this game as I have for many in the franchise, but since skipping out on 2k18 I doubted the success on this one. While it has improved since 2k18 it still feels as if these games are struggling with giving its players that full creative freedom we hoped for. I will keep to the franchises as I love wrestling but let’s hope that 2k can pull out a big one for 2k20.    … Expand

    With a sixth game in series from the same creator, one would expect leaps and bounds of improvements during the course of several years. Sadly, we are still waiting for a great wrestling game to hit our gaming systems. WWE 2K19 offers a lot of things, but most of them are just old stuff with minor improvements or returning additions due to fans outcry.
