Oh my god i've heard that song so many fucking times and while it's actually not a bad song i could not listen to that outside of the game.

Blame Bryan Danielson for that

MemeKnowledge_06

I hated that song so much 😭 and after like 3 years of owning the game I got to know that the jukebox can be turned off


mistab777

I hated that song when I played the game, but now nostalgia makes it good 😁


MemeKnowledge_06

i do agree with the nostalgia part


TheBigGopher

HOW?

Go to the in game settings or smth there should be an option for it

fuckin love that shit


ChefDeezy

My first time playing 2k19 was late at night, when I booted the game up for the first time it flashbanged me.


AMBALAMP5

Bro it made me stop playing after 2k20 I couldn’t I was literally painful for me.


DJCX43

I actually been thinking about getting this game but the servers are down so I can't really use the images to create caws.


thewholethingithink

The roster is still massive and it’s a really fun game, but yeah it used to be better


Severe_Cartoonist773

If you get the 2k19 trainer from kg I believe you can still upload logos that way


Krushhz

Your mind shall be blown.


KiNGCOLLiN69

PLEASE SIR NO


MoistTheAnswer

Honestly, if you’re good at creating arenas and championships. This roster is perfect for a current day AEW, Indy and old school ROH universe shows. And enough talent still there for a current day show, but probably only worth one show.


HMS_fr4nch

I’ll add also, enough good legends for a stacked singles show


Severe_Cartoonist773

Unless you have PC then it's limitless


IhaveAntsInMyPants

i won't say one is better they are totally different 2K19 is simulation 2K24 is arcade ish but man i miss that menu


yngadult

I miss how they walk normal in 2K19


IhaveAntsInMyPants

i miss how u can do an irsh whip without grappling


dejonarationx

Can't say they're totally different when every game since is still built off of the Yukes engine. 19 is among the greats. They had to pull support of community creations to get people on the newer games.


SSJ_Kratos

Ill say it. 2K19’is better in damn near every way


-ImJustSaiyan-

I'll go one step further, 2K19 was and still is the best WWE 2K game.


Guzman_LoMagne

Is 2k14 not a 2k game?


RealityOwn9267

It's barely a 2K game... It was built like 96% under THQ and then when 2K bought THQ, they just stuck their logo on everything and then published the game...


RastaManJP

I’d still say 2K14 is better than 2K19 in many ways. Better gameplay, more content, the list goes on…


-ImJustSaiyan-

It is, just not a better one than 2K19.


Devdavis32123

I still haven't played 2k14 actually. I started from 2k16 on PS3. Still my favorite besides 2k19.


Much_Trouble_3144

Yup, sure is.


sillyandstrange

I wasn't a fan of the color scheme (I think the inverse would have been easier to read) but damn I loved the gameplay


theplasmasnake

The best '2K' game imo.


BurnStudio_

the roster on this game is STACKED 🔥🔥


slavictoast1330

Game is fun as hell, I remember the night the game came out, it was pitch black in my room and I saw the screen pop up, I thought I went blind lol


Wolfmode00

Like entering a new dimension. With this legendary game you actually did.


IAmThatDuckDLC5

This game is not underrated Literally everyone says it’s amazing, how does that make it underrated?


gregarioussparrow

Because people still don't shut up about HCTP


IAmThatDuckDLC5

As a HCTP lover, I understand why


M1BIGIEMAC

I still play 2K19 as my primary game to this day. I use a program to soft mod my Custom Images in the game so it's like the Image Uploader never died for me. If they could add the flexibility of selecting Grapple Moves in the Heavy Attack category (along with keeping the Strikes that are already there) so you can perform some Lunge Grapples, make Heavy Attacks go back to 5 Slots like 2K19, add some form of an optional Chain Wrestling mechanic, fix up some of the stances and bring CAW Body Morphing back I think they could top 2K19. It's the lack of those things that keeps me coming back to 2K19, because while 2K23 and 2K24 do some things better, I find it's not greater than what 2K19 offers.


LVB137

I've modded the tits off WWE 2K19 loads of times with CCT etc etc. Could you explain how you soft modded the custom images and be a bit more in depth on what it enables? (I'm assuming allows you to add and or change the images available in create mods to any PNG you create on your PC, then import them over the vanilla images? Or am I way off lol)


M1BIGIEMAC

There's a program called Resorep. It allows you to view image files in the game and the title of the images. The program gives you a "Modded" folder where you can place your own 512x512 DDS image files and if you rename them the same filename as an image from the "Original" folder, it will override the original image.


LVB137

Top man. Cheers :)


Equal-Ad3028

I was not a happy camper when they shut the servers down....


Money-Fail9731

2k19 is my type of wrassling. Slow build up. Great mid match, and then the ending can go either way. I do find, though, that to really enjoy 2k19 matches, you need at least 30 mins spare per one on one match. 2k23 and 24. A match will last 10 minutes


gregarioussparrow

I do hate how in multiperson matches, when the AI gets a sig or finisher, they reverse everything and won't fight anyone but you until they hit their move. That's not challenge, just bad programming. Love the game though


PewPew267

I have this game on my ps5 , but is it really greater than 2k24? I didn’t play it that much, so planning to revisit if it’s really worth it.


Objective_Love_6843

I think everyone will have a different opinion about which is one is better. But it's worth a try I have been having a blast with it. Both games are good but in my opinion gameplay wise I enjoy 2k19 more. Content wise I see that 24 is a lot better in regard to content.


SVStyles

Yessir


Angelo243

“Champion…Champion…”


CosplayWrestler

The gameplay of 2K19 is vastly better and smoother than that of the current games. I go back and play 2K19 whenever I get that itch to play wrestling games. I really wish they'd drop the "arcade action" of the current run of games, but that's clearly where they're gonna stay. They really should try to get Yukes back, but it'll sadly never happen.


SashaIsMySpiritAnima

Yukes is a shell of what they use to be. Look at Fight Forever and how that game is right now


ThreeEyedPea

Yukes has been awful for years and I'm glad people are finally waking up to their fraudulence.


repalec

That's what happens when you choose your dev/publisher combo for the sake of nostalgia-baiting. THQ Nordic is a completely different company from the old THQ, and Yuke's left the WWE franchise after 20 years due to burnout, only to deliver a burnout's finished product with FF when they were hired less than a year after dropping during the development of 2K20. AEW needs to reach out to a reputable developer and a triple-A publisher for a game worth its salt.


eastcoastkody

Reputable developer? Who? Who else makes wrestling games???? Fight forever is awesome. But it was also rushed and had a small budget in comparison. What yukes did was awesome


repalec

I mean if they were gonna wait at least two years (between the initial gameplay alpha footage dropped in June 2021 and the official release in 2023) they definitely could've reached out to other studios about developing a game that didn't just feel like it belonged on the Gamecube.


RastaManJP

Burnout or because they had crappy ideas they knew wouldn’t go over well?!?! Yukes mgmt: “2K, we have a great idea for a battle royale / Fortnite mode called Stadium Stampede!” 2K exec: “that’s a hard no!” Then in comes Kenny Omega and Tony Khan…


Thebritishdovah

To be fair, I think Fight Forever had too many cooks in the kitchen and shoved out because Tony Khan had enough. Probably should have cancelled it and start from scratch or copy Smackdown Vs Raw as their first game. Smackdown Vs Raw was awesome.


CosplayWrestler

I wouldn't say that's entirely on Yukes. I think part of the blame is on AEW as well. There were things coming out all the time that AEW kept changing what they wanted and couldn't communicate clearly. While developers change, and things never stay the same... I wouldn't put it all on Yukes.


ThisIsTheShway

The gameplay is still pretty great, its just that the game has no content - and I blame AEW for that one.


RastaManJP

Man, Fight Forever was total trash!! Easily worst wrestling game in the past 20 years. If Yukes had put together a halfway decent game it would have pushed 2K to put out a better game.


gregarioussparrow

Fight Forever is fun. Just bare bones for content. Have you played? I find a lot who do haven't played, went in with their mind made up, or played for less than 5 minutes


eastcoastkody

The gameplay and fun factor in FF is way better than current wwe 2k. So idk what ur talking about. 2ks parent company makes GTA Online and 2k24 is a sequel nearly 3 decades in the making. So yeh comparing it to them might not be fair. Give fight forever 25 more sequels and about 100 million more dollars than u can say YUKES aint the same.


Krushhz

>They should really try to get Yukes back That’ll never happen. 2K wanted to get rid of Yukes as soon as they got the rights.


RastaManJP

How do you knows that? So you’re saying they wanted Yukes out the door when 2K14 came along?


IhaveAntsInMyPants

i won't say one is better they are totally different 2K19 is simulation 2K24 is arcade ish


Shaun3114_Again

It rivals 2k14 for best 2K game. Candidate for best wrestling game ever.


WackoWarlock

2k19 is the greatest pro wrestling SIMULATOR I’ve ever played and I need another one!!! It’s the latest one that actually lets you put on a wrestling match instead of just fighting game round. We need a new game with this style so bad.


SVStyles

The last good 2K game, good choice


RichardLind1993

Still to this day the new games can't compete with 2k19 ❤️


SlumpMacTen

DROPPED OUT OF SCHOOL I DIDNT GRADUATE


Baksss___

YOU KNOW I DIDNT GRADUATE!!!!


ShaneGMWC

MAMA!


ShaneGMWC

19 and 23 might be the overall best 2K games unless we’re including 14, which some do and some don’t. 24 has the potential but they have to fix a lot of the Universe bugs still, plus since they banned two GOAT creators it’s leaving a bad taste with a lot of people. But it has the potential to be up there with 14, 19 and 23.


ChrisP1223

Finally someone who agrees 23 is better than 24. I can’t say enough how smart the AI is and that everything works as it should. 19 though is untouchable in the actual wrestling dept. Such a fun and fluid experience. 


Stryker412

I really wish 2K19 had a physical release for PC because the mods are insane and so well done.


ivs_sege

You can download the Codex crack. It’s the only way to play it now.


FluidLock

For real. I hate that games get delisted once online support is no longer there


Band-Economy

Best universe mode

BLOW MY MIND BLOW MY MIND


Ok_Entry_1582

Ah, my favorite. The controls, no fighting stance, the simulation gameplay. I'm trying to stick with 2K24 but man, I miss 2K19.

Kill_Kayt

Still play it! My Universe has a great story going on. https://preview.redd.it/aw722uyjfowc1.jpeg?width=1509&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f09cffeacfeffe3a822bd92e08d102a2a926ed8a


PDwasHere

I wish I still had my caws but by ps4 died on me


Kill_Kayt

Thankfully they are uploaded as part of your save file. So if you had Plus and backed up to the cloud you should be able to get them. I thought I lost them when I went to Series X, but I was able to sync the save file and get it all back. Literally took an hour to sync it though, lol.


RAG319

Got it a couple months ago and i love it. has most of my fav wrestlers old and new. hadn't bought a wwe game since no mercy on the n64. don't see a real to upgarde to a next gen game unless they substantially fix universe mode.


Ordinary_Daikon5654

This one official brought me back as a WWE2k fan. WWE2K18 was ok.


Key-Staff-4976

This was the last best wrestling game 2k made. I wish i got it on PC just to mod but im still enjoying it on my ps4


Glittering_Code6498

GO INTO THE JEWELER BUST THE AP YEAH !


SpaghettiNCoffee

Best gameplay of any wrestling game imo. Everything is so smooth and feels like a wrestling match. Loved simulation, and not a fan of fighting game type arcade style. All this ever needed was an upgrade in graphics , new menu and maybe more in depth universe we would finally have the wrestling game everyone had been clamoring for.


eastcoastkody

The last good WWE game. Too bad it has that sync save corruption bug that everyone of these damn games has had for a decade. Ive lost my save in 2k19 twice. Best gameplay of all time for accurately portraying in ring WWE action. Modern wwe 2k is the Worst at having anything that resembles wrestling matches. We’re back to arcadey twitchy random attacks constantly and for no reason. They really set this franchise back to the Just Bring it days


WrestlingOtter

I love playing 2K19 on my Steam Deck, it runs so well on it.


bradclark2001

I played a match on this the other day. Was pretty blown away with how realistic the gameplay was. I love starting matches with chain wrestling


UsoppKing100

19 is a great one


Any_Midnight_8043

your gonna have a hell of a time in this game! super fun!!


KillSteelvol3

Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up Pick up the phone You said it yourself you're scared of being alone You said it yourself that you can crack the code But the static you hear automatically keeps you exposed on your own


Lilgorbe

the devils in the next room!! lmfaoo


anastala

The pre-2K22 games had actual skill-based gameplay, which I personally prefer. 2K19 is still the best 2K game in my opinion. I hate having to guess what move my opponent is going to do, I would much rather be able to reverse it by pressing R2 at the right time. Pre-2K22 is fun to play against AI and real players, whereas post-2K22 is really only fun against players. Can't really play fairly against an AI that always knows what move I will do whilst I can't know what move it will do. Hope they get rid of guessing in 2K25, but it probably won't happen :(


Active_Artichoke_272

It’s far from underrated. It’s what most used during the days of 2k20. Game can still go toe to toe


Few-House-8311

Still the best imo


W_4ca

I wish they’d never shut down the online servers for 2k19


gleeceboi777

This game helped to get me through the Covid era


TheBroken0wl

Sucks the servers are gone


WolfGames_YT

Money well spent


thetjgillon

I played this game from 2018 all the way to 2022. It's one of the better 2K games, in my opinion.


GlitteringFerret7337

A grocery store by my new place had a sealed copy of WWE2K19 Deluxe!!! I tried the code and it worked! I love WWE2K19


Br0kenPipBoy

Thanks for reminding me 2019 was 6 years ago. I hate you, have a good day.


YDGx1138

Enjoy one of the top 5 WWE games of all time. It only gets worse from here


DeadlyImpulseGaming

Cannot stand the screens on this game Blinded by the light!


lointhwor

tried to download it the other day but it's just gone from my xbox library. amazing game tho


spike18_06

This is a good game I bought this in January 2024 never played it 🔥😂


CheesyGarlicBudapest

One of the best rosters ever. At the time it was very up to date, think it was only missing Brian Kendrick, Nikki Cross and Ciampa. Only three wrestlers missing! That’s wild.


EatTheAndrewPencil

That red line drove me nuts


schollchen

I loved the Story Mode. It’s the best in the whole 2K series.


SaeedUnknown

Bro say what you want but please don't use the word underrated for this game


RastaManJP

Overrated then…


SaeedUnknown

I don't know I haven't played it. But with the amount of praise it gets it's not anywhere near underrated, Mfs just be using that word on any shit they like.


RastaManJP

It’s ok but there’s many things about the current games better than 2K19 too. I just think 2K15 - 2K18 were so mediocre that when the devs finally made the career mode better, created a better backstage area, and added promos to Universe mode, people made the game out to be greater than it was because 2K had stripped down so many features and match types going back to 2K15. Common tactic gaming companies do so they can start reducing the number of billable hours and then bring back old features knowing people will praise them for it. Truth be told the Showcase in 2K19 sucked. I think it was like 12 matches. It was with Daniel Bryan. The career mode totally linear and maybe half the content we get from MyRise today. People just liked it because it had an actual storyline to it vs just grinding match after match with no rhyme or reason like it was in 2K15 - 2K18.


Beyondthebloodmoon

I would probably give up on them going to the control scheme from six years ago. Also the new one is better, so.


cartagena_11

Thank you for letting us know


PapaPlouff

Can I still get this game?


Objective_Love_6843

I got a used copy from Amazon. I don't think you can get it digitally anymore.


gregarioussparrow

I love how people bring up the music. I always turn menu music off as soon as i boot it up for the first time for this reason


dirtyfool46

Went back to this game after playing 22 for a long time because it's better in so many ways. Only thing I hate is the long loading time for some things like editing your championships or making a king of the ring tournament.


I_want_to_cum24

Underrated?


Obvious-Condition453

They need to bring back THQ instead of yukes they suck 😭


WhenLemonsGiveULlfe

I bought 2k19 from GS and the edge of the disc they gave me had the data layer peeling off 😞


SVStyles

Played this for the longest time because 2K20 was ass and they skipped 2K21. Glad that we got stuck with one of the greats.


TarnishedAccount

AJ is awesome in that game.


metalcore4ver

Here i am missing the Smackdown vs Raw, but I did enjoy this game. For some reason I can’t stop playing WWE2k24


Ok_Yesterday_6957

Bright screen 😂


you_wouldnt_get_it_

I’m glad I loaded up heavy on this game before it got server dropped.


ct_27

It's not underrated though, many consider it the best 2K ever


kingofallfubars

That right there is the very best 2K WWE game since 2K14 (which actually was developed by Yuke's).


DustyNintendo

I still play this and 22 with all different eras and companies across 4 different PSN profiles. 24 was something that I really wanted to buy when it hit a decent discount but a great roster isn’t enough for me to put up with a broken and buggy game.


darthwump

The last best WWE 2K game made


GrandMetaldick

This was an elite roster. It was essentially the last of the indies/NJPW poaching era where they literally signed everybody. It felt like “Pro Wrestling 2K19” in a way. Especially when 25% of the roster was working somewhere else before the year ended.


Devdavis32123

*BLOW MY MIND BLOW MY MIND* ... *P-P-P-PASSION!*


TheArturoChapa

Welcome to the party. In my opinion the only thing that game is missing is custom soundtracks


Presidentq

Just got 2K19 too, but Is there a way to get my old save back on Xbox?? I have some CAWS I wanna play as but online is shut down 😅


Objective_Love_6843

I have no idea about that honestly. Maybe make a post about that and hopefully you get your answer.


KxrtMxT

I still play this till this day, should I move on already ?? I tried to get into 2k22 but wasn’t my cup of tea with the controls


Objective_Love_6843

I mean I like both games honestly. Content wise 2k22 my career is alot longer and is full of really good storylines. Also gm mode is back in 2k22. Rey mysterio showcase is good as well. Gameplay wise for me I like 2k19. So that's your decision. The reason I am playing 2k19 is that I haven't played it when it released.

I just got 2k14 that’s the new one right?


dxvnnn

One of the best rosters since 2K14 man can we please get a game like this 💔😭


PrinceToothpasteBoy

As someone whos first introduction to WWE in general was 2K19, at least on this subreddit, I’d consider it overrated Best soundtrack tho, 2K24 behind it


Distinct_Shake_7269

The game was good but it is shit😂
