WWE 2K19 General Opinions and Reviews

[Zeokage]

This is a thread where you can give your opinions of the game, ask others whether the game is worth buying, and discuss reviews of others, such as the steam review scores.

Funny you say that, because those legends that you mentioned are already on the game as in-game unlockables. What you're seeing in the deluxe is just them in casual clothing or something else.

Even at half price I couldn't get myself to buy this years game. With no new features, removed legends (with no replacement) and even less DLC for the same season pass price I could not see the point. Also you could not get wrestlers that were previously available (Randy Savage, Dusty Rhodes etc...) without paying a premium.

Since this is, in my opinion, the exact same game at 2k18 but with missing features I am curious if other people who didn't buy this feel the same? If you did buy it, do you have buyers remorse or are you happy and why?

What missing features?

the roster changes every year, this year we have some legends no longer available due to the contracts for games appearances, big deal we still have legends.

same game no it isnt!

this game has a number of new features and lots of changes in Universe mode.

I must have missed the showcase in last years game or damn its new
did they have a towers mode last year? no tell me how you missed this new feature



the ability to directly attach match types to a show using a match table
to have women in a royal rumble
the ability 6 fully customizable belts attached to a show as an example my diva show has 6 womens title belts.

but now lets face facts you dont want to read anything that isnt hating the game, you dont want the game, so fine go play something else, but please can you grow up enough to not talk rubbish about a game you dont want.

I will admit this year I have seen semi serious bugs in the game they can be got round but they should get fixed with luck! as for optimization I play at 4K 60fps and I cant really complain at that.

I don't play those modes, except Royal Rumble. Showcase has been in previous games, and I ignored it then also. Those modes are not new gameplay they are instruction following simulators.

"Do this move now, throw him three times and then use big move. Pin." If I want to play wrestler 1 vs wrestler 2 I don't need a special mode to do so.

From my understanding my career is now linear as hell, but now you have voice over. Well whoop dee diddly doo, great trade off. I am not interested in one and done game modes, I'm interested in the actual wrestling.

But now let's face facts: I didn't slag on the game, I asked peoples opinions. Even if I did totally rip it apart, who cares what I or anyone thinks? I am entitled to ask people their own opinions and state mine. If that tears your paper thin skin so be it.

"Mommy, he doesn't like the game that I like. Make him stop!"

no you talked rubbish just because something new in a game isnt something you indivudually want to use does not mean it doesnt exist. all of those new items are still in the game and still new.

mostly the changes for the Universe Mode as usual. I love the ability to Managers.
unfortunatly there are some Issues (bugs) with them aswell.

I actually think Legends of Wrestlemania did managers the best. They would put your foot on the rope and do all kinds of crazy things. I wish they'd impliment that.

Optimization. Despite all the glitches and the slow motion bugs (which I also encountered at one time), 2K19 runs WAY better than 2K18. I suppose it's irrelevant to people with high end rigs, but I'm on a toaster that ran 2K18 at 40-50 FPS even on single matches and 720p resolution (I don't want to turn off shadows and audience, because it looks ugly and kills the realism.)

2K19, on the other hand, ran at 60 FPS for me even on 8 man matches. Everything except motion blur enabled, audience at 100%. Only at 720p, though but I guess that's the price of playing on a toaster. The jaggies aren't that noticeable on a 1080p TV anyway. Still looks good.

I just wish they retained the 2k18 UI, though. Current UI is ugly and the text selection can be confusing. Or better yet, retain the 2k15 and 2k16 style UI. Those looked good and consistent, plus they're less prone to microstutter.

If there's no custom music option for wrestlers then again for the third year in a row I will not buy. THQ gave us custom music for the longest time, 2k did it like once with 2k14 and then they were like, NOPE! No more custom music because corporate BS this and money money money that. Your default music always SUCKS! I'm not going to mod or use Spotify/Itunes or any other work-around for music I already bought and own. This is why I prefer indie games nowadays, they simply offer more options and customization. AAA games nowadays are corporate garbage with censorship, selfish copyrights and the need to vet EVERYTHING because of stupid online play.

So my ONLY motivation to buy any 2k game in the future is customization, and when it comes to wrestling games custom entrance themes are my litmus test. I build most of my wrestlers based on the music they come out to, not the other way around. I also use PC, it shouldn't be difficult to simply add an option for custom music. But MUH copyrights! Not your concern 2k, you aren't liable for what people do on their own. That would be like holding a gun manufacturer responcible for someone abusing the use of one of their weapons. I never liked that 2k took over the WWE franchise, they've done nothing but degrade the series and remove opition after option of customization. I bet one day we won't even get CAW anymore becaues some wrestlers might be too triggering or their appearance censored like they did with Hogan for a while.

MUH feelings, I know. But its not like I'm pulling complaints out of my rear-end. I've had these same issues with this company for years. 2k16 was a waste of money, 2k14 was the ONLY good 2k game and it still wasn't as good as the previous year's title which was made by..... THQ! I wanted to like you 2k but your wrestling games ftmp suck, go back to making lame golf and football games. Sorry for the rant but I used to love these games, I've bought every single one from the first Smackdown! on PS all the way to 2K16. THQ had its issues, but they were superior to 2k with wrestling games. 2k even managed to royally mess up custom finishers in 2k14 and I actually liked that game... pshhh 2k just go away.
