While you are able to purchase a move or a piece of attire with VC instead of hoping to open it, the cost is very high and takes a fair amount of time to grind up to. Appearance, movesets, and more are all locked behind loot pack progression, which can lead to some frustration. Early on in the game, players looking to build their own characters will have severe restrictions placed on their ability to do so. Here’s something that many fans will struggle with the return of in WWE 2K19: loot packs. There will be no ten matches in a row against Barron Blade this year, although the legend himself does make an appearance as a prominent early figure in the journey. The narrative is also compelling in a way that makes it more enjoyable to continue the grind that is leveling up a character from scratch, as there is far less repetition than before. MyPlayer’s story is well written, with a lot of actually funny dialogue rather than the forced humor that was present in previous years. The other gameplay mode that shines is MyPlayer, which has been totally revamped after several years worth of iterations that were dull at best and painfully slow at their worst. Showcase mode also mixes matches and storyline progression deftly, never feeling like it’s more documentary than gameplay mode, but still providing a lot of information for those unfamiliar with Daniel Bryan’s story. His career has been filled with the kind of peaks and valleys that few others can attest to surviving, and hearing his voice-over commentary on some of those moments is insightful and engaging. I’ve always felt like these touches were wonderful additions to a genre that needs to explore the emotional side of it much more deeply, and Daniel Bryan is the perfect choice.

One of the most exciting parts of WWE 2K19 is the return of Showcase mode.

Whether that commentary is intentional or not, WWE 2K19 is by no means an excellent wrestling game, but it is an excellent WWE simulator.
#WWE 2K19 PS4 SERIES#
WWE 2K19 is a welcome entry into a series that has been met with extremely mixed reception since it began with WWE 2K14, and as a bonus, at its worst it’s basically a perfect microcosm of the current problems that plague actual WWE television.
