Unless you're happy to switch the reversal system off completely, it's wise to keep an eye on those three-five little yellow bars at the bottom of your superstar's status HUD. That tells you how many reversal slots your wrestler has left, and it's a total nightmare to run out of them at crucial moments.

Start to mentally ration them.

Trust us here, because we know first hand that spamming the reversal button early in the match is a fool's way of playing 2K19. There's no need for it either, because the CPU won't bust out its bigger attacks until deeper into each match. Early on then, try to refrain from hitting reverse when you're not 100% sure it'll work and give you the upper hand.

Light punches, kicks and grapples won't damage you too much at first. Even late on, when matches start to kick up a gear and become more intense, it'd be smart to keep those slots back for reversing signatures, finishers and submission attempts.
