Game is way too easy

[-A7 Demon Seed-]

Im on legendary in universe mode with all ai slider reversals turned to 100 and mine at 25 or lower and i still win every match no problem with any wrestler....are the developers really that oblivious to the fact that the ai is terrible? is there anything else i can do? Edit. I have noticed the difficulty is alot harder in notmal exipition matched compared to universe mode.

I agree it it's a easy game. playing on legendary of course with the UI and input help turned off except for finisher/signature/comback. I do not use the payback skills either.

I also make sure my own Wrestlers overall stats are around 75 max while I buffed all Main Eventers with more skills and better stats.

doesn't change the AI but I get at least a little more challenge. not in every match but it happens.

for the sliders I fiddled around a bit but afterall the defaults aren't too bad to go with. just extended Referee downtime and tweaked the stun timings slightly I think.

however, for AI vs AI this game is still good and plays out some good matches most of the time. but vs. a human with at least a little skill with fighting games it's no big deal to learn the AI behaviors in a very short amount of time.

I play only Universe Mode btw

Really this depends on how you play, are you playing the game just as a pure fighting game, or like real wrestlers do you showboat and make a match more of a show? for years the WWE games have been moving from the arcade fighting games like SVR2006 towards the more simulation style we get now. the reason the Ai vs AI games are better now is the way the AI has been developed more as a wrestling simulation and less of a fighting game. so if you just play in the same way you do tekken or any number of fighting games you will win but you are missing a huge part of wrestling to do it.

good point. if I play vs the AI I usually try to "get the most" out of my matches. means even if I know I can win very easy I'll try to "perform a good match" with many different moves and some "back and forth" even taking some risks. the key to a good match is to make all Wrestlers involved look good for there assigned role.

If you are playing a wrestling simulator, you need to think and act like a wrestler or you will miss out on most of the point of it not just being any other fighting game.

watch the real WWE or TNA or go back and watch any number of wrestling shows. we all know the big guy at 7 feet tall with arms like tree trunks is going to be hard to stop, but you watch the shows and notice that half the time the big guy does something stupid and loses the match, we all know he could have won, but the story line says he loses and wrestlers are not just fighters they are very physical stuntmen, actors, athletes and much more. what happens in the ring is all about what makes a show great not just winning.

Ive been watching wrestling since 97 I know how the storylines go. I just figured the game would be like the rest of them which is "Try to win." Takes alot of the fun out of the game when you have to let the computer get shots in or get finishers in. Name one other game that you let the cpu win...I just think they arnt very good at difficulty when it comes to wwe. Tbh cause they have never before made a game where its intended to let the cpu win to make in interesting. That would defeat the perpouse of difficulty levels.

and why is exibition so much more difficult than universe mode?

the problem is that they have made a wrestling AI hence the reason it plays nice Ai vs Ai matches.

I think the Ai has some storyline stuff in Universe that is ignored in Exhibition mode.

I have been watching wrestling since the 1970's

one huge problem exists when making a wrestling game wrestling isn't a real fight.
90% of all wrestling moves in the WWE require both people to co operate to make the move work safely.

real Greco wrestling like the Olympics is a lot less show and a lot more slapping hands away slipping out of holds and looks nothing like the WWE version of wrestling.

I am not saying what the WWE superstars do isn't dangerous, difficult and requiring lots of athletic ability and skill.

you get 2 versions of wrestling games, the SVR2006 arcade fighting game that passed is some ways as wrestling, or the WWE2k19 simulation where possibly the best matches will be Ai vs Ai, since any reasonably good player can just turn to a less simulation and more fighting game style of play and then as the OP said the game is easy.

i tired of people saying this game is "easy" this game is easy easy easy, if the game is easy and bothers you, try to play blindfolded or with only one hand, make yourself your own challenge, and stop blaming a game, i hate when people thinks every game needs to be hard, and don't think about the poor casuals around there that suffering for this, come on, if you want a challenge make it yourself like i said before and stop complaing about game dificulty, if you don't like this, go to Darksouls or whatever.

sorry most people arnt terrible lmao.....THats why there is difficulty settings pleb.....When legendary feels like easy settings there is a problem and many fans have this issue.....sorry i dont want to win every match.....Its been known for years that this game s ai is flawed.....the reversal system is overly easy to time......Some people want a challenged when they play games bud.....Even most casuals say this game is incredibly easy
