Fire Pro Wrestling is a wrestling game so yes, it is in the same category... Fire Pro also comes from a better company with better wrestling promotions and therefore better wrestlers.
I think it's the best wrestling game by far, you can basically get a custom version of every wrestler you ever wanted, this is the game I have dreamed since I was a child, 250 hours plus playing on WWE universe.
you shouldn't expect anything from IGN other than coverage of various forms of entertainment. Expecting anything else is setting yourself up for disappointment
@@CONNHD yes! That almost single handedly made me pass on this game! I stopped playing 2k17 because it was too much of a chore to level up. I don't have time. I don't think I made it out nxt on that game before it died for me.
2k stepped up their game this year by adding 3 hours worth of cutscenes in my career mode and also bringing back 2k showcase. I think they focused more on wwe than nba this year
Well when you have a reversal count its easy to cheat the game just run out the opponents reversals hit your finisher and win i used to do it all the time
I believe 2K19 is a game which you begin appreciating more as you keep playing and discovering the details. For all I know, the game offers a lot more than it's predecessor both in quantity and quality and is definitely an upgrade of way more than 0.3 points over last year's 7. The game makes a solid 8.5-8.7.
Here comes the pain was super unbalanced and has no commentary. Shut your mouth had a better career, commentary, better graphics, more custom entrances etc.
@Alone Mike JR and King were on commentary in the older games and it wasn't great either. They would just throw out the odd reaction and discussion. In contrast, take the NBA games, they have all kinds of different conversations and discussions for everything that happens.
Why is no review mentioning the new striking system? Punches and kicks have been fully revamped and feel so real now. Most reviews overlook how important this change really is.
Firstly, The simulators mean there is far more depth and options in every match. Like actual wrestling games. Secondly, you can change the settings to lessen those aspects
>be me >buys wwe 2k19 >installs game >starts menu and goes straight to settings >gets rid of annual kid rock song in game >enjoys game as it is intended
Im not a fan of WWE games, but this looks really fun. by all the positives he said about the game, im very confused that they gave it such an average score. It looks it like should be between an 8.0\8.5 at least.
GoldenClassyGent Nah bro I been grinding Fornite since February so I’m not a casual on there if anything I’m a try hard😂 and I grew up playing 2K and sports games. And idk Red dead looks kinda boring to me and none of my friends really talk about it so I wouldn’t even have anybody to play it with.
does anyone possibly still play svr 11? i miss it and would go re purchase it and hook up the old ps3. Or are those old wrestling games dead and buried?
they finally had a decent mycareer ... but you can’t tell me y’all didn’t have time to make a women’s mycareer cause I beat career mode in a couple days
I'm with you dude, I would love a wrestling game but stopped watching round about 2003 ish, I don't have the first clue who these people are either lol.
Bought it 2nd hand today and took it back and swapped for Spyro the dragon after 10 minutes of play. This game is so marginally different to any of the games in the last 5 years. Why can't they just bring in HCTP in HD and online? Its what everybody wants.
One small thing they could have done was have different voice overs in my career to choose from to best suit your custom superstar, for example if you created like a 7 foot giant as a heel the voice of ‘buzz’ just doesn’t suit at all
Smackdown VS Raw ft ECW was the best game. Now it's just became a cash cow and they're milking the same game over and over just adding one or two things
Faces look so much worse than they have in recent years, they took a huge step back as far as the graphics for the superstar models. Ziggler and Liv Morgan's faces especially look absolutely nothing like what they do in real life.
Not saying the review is bad. The FEW times the odds are against you, you’re supposed to feel weak. The point is to persevere and overcome. NEVER SAY NEVER if you will.
The biggest problem with career mode is the same as nba2k. Everything is microtransactions or lootboxes, too expensive and it doesnt feel like it does anything
Another (you must win the fight and complete the challenge or RETRY) false career mode where you have to fight guys at 90+ overall with a weak and slow 45 overall character....Forget it, 2K just can't do it correctly.
Undertaker 732 it’s better than 2K18 and besides 2K18 got a straight 7 and 2K19 got a 7.3 (shouldn’t be 7.5 or 8) but still, 2K is improving since after 2K18.
It's tough to get it right when the only competition is yourself.
So true when I think about it...
Except for Fire Pro Wrestling World.
@@coreylineberry8557 Fire Pro's a completely different kind of game

Who's here after watching 2k20 review 😂
That game made this one look like a masterpiece!😂
✋
Me
Me
i wonder that too, it's like downgrade in everything
after buying WWE2K20 .. this game is a 9/10 for me .. its mid-March and am still playing WWE2K19 after deleting WWE2K20
I think it's the best wrestling game by far, you can basically get a custom version of every wrestler you ever wanted, this is the game I have dreamed since I was a child, 250 hours plus playing on WWE universe.
Naewan i have both 19 and 20 , and i still play 19 till today , way better than 20
Hope you got a refund for 2k20
thedreadedzero I don’t think that is happening unfortunately
WWE2K1911 really? They gave out tons of refunds for it
I was going to give my review then I got injured by Brie Bella...
Rob Picken *took an arrow to the knee
Hahaha, Nikki is fine, but Brie's return is full of botches.
"Botchamania" ft Brie Bella.
🤣
At least it wasn't a career ending by Samoa Joe, Seth Rollins or Sasha.
CrimsonDragon90 they were accidents same as D lo and Droz... Brie is a train wreck
I miss road to wrestlemania in svr2011
those days were the best
Couldn't agree more
hell no lol
nodoutcoward Why ? whats wrong with the original stories ,free roam and some side missions ?
My best game
How can IGN judge a WWE product objectively when they have a partnership with them ?
HOF Sheamus exactly
HOF Sheamus So the game is worse than a 7.3?
you shouldn't expect anything from IGN other than coverage of various forms of entertainment. Expecting anything else is setting yourself up for disappointment
They were fair on their review
business and editorial are kept separate. they wouldn’t sell their reputation doen the drain for short term gain.
GET RID OF THE DAMN LOOTBOXES FOR MOVES FFS!!!
Seriously....do they have them in this game?.WTF!!!!!
@@CONNHD i guess
it's a card system that uses in game currency only. Even them the currency it uses is Tokens not VC.
@@CONNHD yes! That almost single handedly made me pass on this game! I stopped playing 2k17 because it was too much of a chore to level up. I don't have time. I don't think I made it out nxt on that game before it died for me.
PoopyMcPooperface I actually like that better than micro transactions. It keeps the career interesting anf constantly changing
2k stepped up their game this year by adding 3 hours worth of cutscenes in my career mode and also bringing back 2k showcase. I think they focused more on wwe than nba this year
David Reyes hell no lmaoooo
No they didn't 😂 NBA 2k is where the money's at
NeverMindGaming but it's still the same company
NBA 2k was trash this year so probably
Trash lol yall are silly.. nba 2k is straight fire. Wwe looks like trash. I wish 2k would make a boxing game
These games play a lot better when you turn off limited reversals
iMiguelAOG what does that do?
it def plays so much better i do that every year it adds an actual sense of difficulty and flow to matches
I did that once in 2k18 and Reigns reversed 8 signature/finisher moves and match lasted too long...Ill never use that option again
@@toneblaze9428 how exactly does giving you unlimited reversals make the game more realistic and difficult..? lol
Well when you have a reversal count its easy to cheat the game just run out the opponents reversals hit your finisher and win i used to do it all the time
Last WWE game I had fun with was WWE 2K14
Last one I had fun with was 2K19
CM Omega last one for me was 09
Svr 07 LOL
Same
WWE 2K15 & 2K16
I believe 2K19 is a game which you begin appreciating more as you keep playing and discovering the details. For all I know, the game offers a lot more than it's predecessor both in quantity and quality and is definitely an upgrade of way more than 0.3 points over last year's 7. The game makes a solid 8.5-8.7.
15 years still "Here Comes the Pain" is the best WWE game ever!
Here comes the pain isn't better than 2k19. I own both games. But that's just my opinion just like yours.
No Mercy is still the greatest game ever. Here's comes the pain is right after it
@@andysaturn_music Gameplay wise HCTP owns this
No Mercy < HCTP
Here comes the pain was super unbalanced and has no commentary. Shut your mouth had a better career, commentary, better graphics, more custom entrances etc.
You made this sound more like an 8.0 tbh
Here after IGN's WWE 2K20 review
I miss the smack down vs raw games
0/10 because loot boxes need to die.
There are no loot boxes or micro transactions
Its free lootboxes ( game cards ) also no microtransactions.
@@TheAazah you're right
You don't spend real money on them or the virtual currency
Aaron joel you are right dude
The N64 wrestling games will always be the best.
JP Truth they were the greatest. That’s the only reason I’m watching this review is because I want to relive those moments with my nephews
These kids don't know what they've missed, smh.
N64? Shut up and log off, grandpa
We Worldwide! He’s not wrong but they haven’t age that well
WCW vs nwo revenge
If they get Jim Ross and Jerry the king Lawler then the commentator issue will be fixed
Best commentator team ever
The dream..
Not really. Because just having catch phrases isn't enough. You need proper reactions and back and forth like the FIFA and NBA games as well
@Alone Mike
JR and King were on commentary in the older games and it wasn't great either. They would just throw out the odd reaction and discussion.
In contrast, take the NBA games, they have all kinds of different conversations and discussions for everything that happens.
Either THAT or bring back Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. EVEN Lawler HIMSELF said on SEVERAL DVDS that Gorilla and Bobby RULE!!!!
To be fair, Daniel Bryan always sounds like that.
Here comes the Pain was, and is, the greatest Wrestling game ever made.
The only great thing about HCTP was the backstage brawl. You could spent countless hours playing it and nothing else.
I'd say Smackdown vs raw 2006
No Mercy
I agree but I like the rosters for wcw/nwo revenge and wwf no mercy
no mercy
Smackdown vs RAW were the best games
I’d buy any wwe game if it had euphoria physics tbh
I love your picture of dashie mah boy
that should of been a mode, instead of big head mode
They'll probably haven't watched all those Endorphin wrestling videos... Now imagine how sweet it would be with euphoria physics
should of been that instead of Big Head Mode
I have wanted this to happen for years now but sadly never happens 😔
6:40 well that certainly didn't happen lol!😂
Wwe 2k14 is still my favorite. Play it till this day.
Why is no review mentioning the new striking system? Punches and kicks have been fully revamped and feel so real now. Most reviews overlook how important this change really is.
I wanted WWE 2k19 to realy make me feel like a wrestler.
Or batman
Well did it?
5:17 Actually no, Resiliency can be used more than once. You say it's a one-time ability.
These 2k games feel like simulators, not actual wrestling games.
yes
This one does
Exactly. Thank you for this!!
Firstly, The simulators mean there is far more depth and options in every match. Like actual wrestling games.
Secondly, you can change the settings to lessen those aspects
Well, that might be bad for you, it's great for me. To me realism=fun
Commentary has always been bad in wwe games. Might as well remove it.
DoNisYoB055 this superstar is looking confident X10
I do 😂😂 I always cut commentary off 👌🏿
I always remove it too. Wish they had some generic tracks to play during the match like in Here Comes the Pain.
Thumbs up if you want smack down here comes the pain gameplay but these graphics.
"My reign will be about memorable matches, not memorable words"
=I do flips, I have 0 talent and I can't cut promos.
I actually cannot wait to play this years WWE 2K

The only place where Finn Balor can still become champion
Whos here after realising 2k19 is better than 2k20 😂
In my career do you get to play as a overhyped diva who marries a famous wwe superstar just to seem relevant in WWE

7.3?-as long as I’m hearing it’s the best current gen wwe game yet!
Jason Smith it really is!
It's the best game but not as much of an improvement as it should be
Im not a fan of WWE games, but this looks really fun. by all the positives he said about the game, im very confused that they gave it such an average score. It looks it like should be between an 8.0\8.5 at least.
Because it was not a fair call it is the best wwe game seens 2015 but there are some bugs but it should be more than 8
sesmar99 because it isn’t an exclusive
5/10 is average score
I would give it a 8.5 or 9.
the best wrestling game of this gen so far. definitely heading the right direction. far from perfect but I'm satisfied with it for what it is
It peaked there it’s not going to get better
@@unfixingbowl5454 i’m sorry I’m not a sheep so that doesn’t work for me. buy and play the game for yourself, then you can form an opinion✌🏼&❤️

Same here. Last years game was super cheap on black Friday.
me too, im already busy with 2 games, PS NOW, GAME PASS and EA ACCESS but mostly Forza Horizon 4 on GAME PASS
Best wwe2k in a while. Its night and day from last yrar. The overall gameplay
Create a wrestler items are locked behind loot boxes. This mode shouldn't count as a positive towards the final score.
Who cares. Everyone is gonna play Red Dead Redemption 2 anyways.
Literally nobody I know is thinking about red dead and neither am I, all we know is fornite and 2K.😂
*spider man and the dlc*
Jeez, what a trash fanboy fellowship RDR2 already has and its not even out.

Nothing

WILL EVER BE GREATER THAN SMACKDOWN VS RAW '06
... and you know it...
AMEN
HCTP?
Didn't cover the most played mode in the game...Universe Mode...typical IGN review
They covered all the actually important and new stuff
Confirmed.IGN doesn't like WWE 2K videogames.
Literally the first line of the review is that they're good!
Ign isnt sheep like certain people thats why
Agreed
@@cortezmauricio5654 "IGN aren't sheep" lmao
thats my point since some people settle for less easily with wwe games
WWE 2K14 was the last great game. When THQ died the games died as well
Sorry but SVR 2011 is still my favorite
does anyone possibly still play svr 11? i miss it and would go re purchase it and hook up the old ps3. Or are those old wrestling games dead and buried?
Happy Hoovy Yupp and 2007 was great too
SvR 2011 was the best. WWE games died with THQ
One of the funniest moments i had during the game is after a match brock lesnar tried to hit me with an f5 but he tripped on the steel steps 😂😂
It's best game in wwe history in my opinion
How did this game got 7.3 review?
Who remembers svr 06, the bed ring fight with girls that was jokes lol
they finally had a decent mycareer ... but you can’t tell me y’all didn’t have time to make a women’s mycareer cause I beat career mode in a couple days
Only 7.3??????
That's why I don't trust these ratings anymore
Hell WWE 2k16 got 8.8 where it still lacked
Please tell me if deluxe edition still works
Why
Wrestlemania 2000 & Legends of Wrestling will always be my favorites!!!
Remember when Greg Miller did WWE game reviews and we loved them?
Why are people hateing on this game? This game is a S tier game
I wish I knew any of these wrestlers bring back the 80s and 90s roster
I'm with you dude, I would love a wrestling game but stopped watching round about 2003 ish, I don't have the first clue who these people are either lol.
I really miss the GM mode they keep promising that it’s coming back but it hasn’t that’s a bummer
Bought it 2nd hand today and took it back and swapped for Spyro the dragon after 10 minutes of play. This game is so marginally different to any of the games in the last 5 years. Why can't they just bring in HCTP in HD and online? Its what everybody wants.
Because many of the wrestlers in the game aren't with wwe
Lootboxes = no buy. WWE Here Comes The Pain didn't have loot boxes, so this shouldn't either.
wwe 2k19 should be rated higher than 2k18, come on ign, use your heads
This review was on point, everything the reviewer said is spot on. I love it when game reviewers know what they are talking about.
Wwe 12 had the best my career...especially the jacob Cass story
Not worth $60 if u have to use lootboxes for mycareer cosmetics
I think it's free lootboxes that you unlock through gameplay. Funny thought, right?
Stop Hating On Aqua for me it adds to the career mode. Always on the lookout to make your guy look better and do better moves
I'm such a Raven mark, I only want this game because his entrance attire is flawless this time.
Wwe2k19 was the best 2k game I. Ever played it must be 8.5 GREAT

For the record, VC is only earned in game. The lootboxes are not microtransactions. Just cause IGN didn't mention that.
Every since 2006 they changed the controls
I just dont like the controls to wwe games now aday
Street fighter and mortal kombat has better controls
Can you still download create a player from online ?
Yeah
anyone remember the great storymode from WWE 12'?
But 2k14 was king
Moves locked behind loot boxes - this makes me physically sick.

7.3 how this is one of the best
When THQ start making wwe games again then maybe I’ll consider buying it
THQ is dead
you realize yukes makes the game?
Does the thumbnail remind anyone else of mighty morphin power rangers? Lmao
Smackdown vs raw is 3000x better
No its 3000x worse
It won't hurt to skip this years.
Wwe games are getting worse and worse every year I miss smackdown vs raw and here comes the pain and arcade style wrestling games
Undertaker 732 it’s better than 2K18 and besides 2K18 got a straight 7 and 2K19 got a 7.3 (shouldn’t be 7.5 or 8) but still, 2K is improving since after 2K18.
Ew, arcade. 2K19 is definitely the best WWE game if you ignore nostalgia and bugs.
HypnoGaming well if you like your slow gameplay go right ahead
Guys, this guy thinks 2K17 is better than 2K18. His word can’t be taken for anything. 9.3/10
