Tips

Tips for WWE 2K19.

• Grab a Weapon: Outside and underneath the ring there are weapons — steel chairs, baseball bats, sledgehammers — but using them can get you disqualified. If you plan to, first have an outside wrestler distract the referee or knock the ref unconscious.
• Outside the Ring: Your attacks hit harder and deal more damage outside the ring. It's also a way to get away from opponents for a breather.
• Ring Escapes: Useful to get out of dangerous situations, but they use a reversal slot (you have a limited number). Escape the ring only as a last resort.
• Crowd Taunts: In WWE 2K19 taunting the crowd isn't just showy — it boosts momentum. Use the wake-up taunt to force your opponent to stand up groggy and vulnerable for a finisher.
• Payback Moves: Payback is a new mechanic that lets you come back when the opponent has the upper hand, with deadly attacks and instant finishers. Like reversals, most Payback moves are limited — save them for when you really need them.
• Opponent's Reversals: Track how many reversals your opponent attempts; unleash a finisher or special move when you know they have none left.
• Use Reversals Wisely: Reversals aren't unlimited. When low, take smaller hits and save them for when the opponent is about to unleash a finisher.
• Save Stamina: Watch your stamina gauge and pace yourself. If it runs out you become slow, sluggish and vulnerable to attacks and reversals. Don't spam attacks or unnecessary moves.
• Invest in Stamina: Stamina is one of the most important stats. When creating your player, don't neglect Base Stamina and Stamina Regeneration in the skill tree.
