I also find the pin system very hard and I hate it, hopefully we will see a change in the next game.

Yes i hope too, the only way to have better control with pinfalls is having a controller wich i don't have. :/

It also might have something to do with the monitor or TV that you're using. If it has a long delay time, it can be very difficult to hit the sweet spot. I had this problem when I tried to play on a TV, but on a monitor it works fine for me.

And it's important to understand that you are not supposed to consistently kick out after finishers. So it's like in a "real" wrestling match - sometimes people kick out after a finisher, but more often they do not.

Maybe the next games will make you juggle the left analog stick with your thumb while pressing a randomly generated button sequence before the pinfall expires, starting over every time you mess up. (Roll analog stick from left to right) AXBY (quickly back left then down) BXAY. - 2K can be counted on for this kind of "fun".

Now, you just need to get good and stop being a newb. When you are beaten you are done. Learn and master Reversals or the moment you are down you are done. You will win/lose only by how much better you are at Reversal than your opponents.

Try to bait your opponents signature/finisher moves, you will be happy. Always stay near ropes to ease sliding out of ring and running.


Design your moveset to attack Head/Chest/Legs only. I like to use Up grapples to the head, Down grapples to the legs, and left/right grapples to body on Heavyweights. As for lightweights, I like to use Down grapples for Legs, Left/Right for Arms, and Up for Head. To inflict "body" damage I focus on tope rope moves, whips into ringpost/stairs, and the bodyslam/suplex of diagonal + up/down grapples.

As someone who hated the pin system at first, I have to say it's actually very good when you get the hang of it and if you use a pad as the game demands if you want to be any good at it.

I've kicked out on the tineist bar before on 2.99 which was luck admittedly, but I will consistently kick out of a lot of slim pin margins. An alternative would be button mashing which I don't mind either, but this golf game style pin isn't nearly as bad as it first seems.

Play as Cena
It's actually too easy to kick out...They need to make it more difficult.

You get used to the timing after awhile. I haven't played a WWE games since SmackDown vs Raw 2011, So it took me some time to adjust to this game.

It feels good when you kick out of a pin when it has a tiny little blue bar.
