WWE 2K19: 10 Tips & Tricks To Play Like A Pro

1. Don't Always Try For The Pin Yourself

Whether you're playing offline against the CPU or online against human opponents, keep pin attempts minimal. That's sage advice that has been good for the past couple of WWE games, and it's some that could save your skin in the long run; as tempting as it is to go for that win following a top-rope move or early signature, you're unlikely to get the three.

There's a hidden downside to near falls too.

When a rival wrestler kicks out at two, they gain some much-needed momentum. Worse, their bar temporarily fills quicker than yours, as if to sell the agony of just coming up short. This is akin to a punishment for trying to win prematurely, and it usually results in a swing in match direction that won't be in your favour.

Keep pinfall attempts scarce and only try them when you're very sure an opponent has nothing left. This is easy to spot by looking at their health bar (if it's red, they're almost done for) or by seeing how long they take to get back up.
