I thought this was interesting enough to share for any WWE 2K players out. The newest mode in 2K19 will be WWE 2K19 Towers, which is a Mortal Kombat-style approach competing against WWE superstars.

Since Showcase Mode has been left out from the series in recent installments, this is a brand new feature in the series.

https://wwe.2k.com/news/wwe-2k19-towers/

Debuting in WWE 2K19 is a new feature called Towers. In this new mode, players choose WWE Superstars or their MyPLAYERs to compete against a string of WWE Superstar opponents. Each Tower features its own unique theme and is populated by a roster of WWE Superstars across a variety of challenging matches, including different win conditions and fun stipulations.

Opponents
Expect to battle dozens of opponents across the entire WWE roster, from NXT Superstars to current champions … and let's not forget about the WWE Legends!

Tower Types
There are two types of Towers in WWE 2K19 that play differently from one another:

  • Gauntlet – In a Gauntlet Tower, players need to complete the Gauntlet entirely in one session. Quitting early or losing a match resets progress back to zero;
  • Steps – In a Steps Tower, players climb their way through a Tower – one match at a time and at their own pace.
Tower Goals
Some Towers feature their own set of goals, including such challenges as reaching a specific score and simply reaching the end of tower.

Stipulations
Some matches add an extra layer of depth in the form of Player and Opponent Buffs. A few examples include starting a match with a finisher or an event starting with health in the red.

Match Types
Towers Mode features many different match types. While there are plenty of normal one-on-one matches, there can be plenty of surprises from match to match. Here are a few match types that players will come across: Steel Cage, Table, Submission, Iron Man, Falls Count Anywhere and more!

2K Towers
In 2K Towers, players choose a WWE Superstar to compete against a wide range of WWE Superstar opponents across a number challenging Towers. Each Tower has a unique theme focused on showcasing the Roster it includes or pays homage to a specific Match Type.

Million Dollar Challenge is still pointless because they're handpicking the 4 finalists based on "Record yourself cutting a promo video"

My only wish is that the game glitches/crashes during the match vs AJ

I heard there will be a secret fight, kinda like Reptile as well? Start a tower. Look at the announce table, point to the Wrestlemania sign, there must silhouettes gliding past ( this will occur every 6th match). Win two matches with finishers without blocking at all. A message will appear.

Road to Glory + Loot Boxes are still in the game.

Will there be microtransactions this year?

Is there a story mode of sorts? Admittedly, I enjoyed the story of previous games and how different matches had stipulations.

But I also loved the mode with Stone Cold was on the cover.

Is it an announcement WWE All Stars 2? No? I'll keep waiting then.

2k isn't going to dupe me again. None of this addresses the issues with the gameplay. Sure, great looking models and great modes. That is all well and good.

What is the point of new modes if the game does not play well?
Do I still need to purchase the $100 dollar version if I want the player kickstart pass? To actually enjoy playing season mode, I needed the kickstart pass.

Edited: Grammar - Added one add'l sentence.

They should put Beat the Streak back in. Fighting OP magic Undertaker was fun, or even better, just put some of those moves in The Undertakers moveset.

Will they finally put weight detection back in? I don't care if it's like HCTP or DoR, I don't wanna be suplexing Andre or The Big Show as Bret Hart.

Ultimate Warrior looks awful. Looks like a 22 year old kid cosplaying him.

The Rock looks weird too. Fuck 2K and Yukes.

I must be the outlier and say that I really enjoy the WWE gameplay - only if the person you're playing against is as good as you are.

The amount of close matches I've had with my stable of Gentleman, lead by JBL and his band of miscreants who never enjoy fighting but will never back down from a challenge and all the other stories I have with my friends in order to get the title is great and some of the best fun I've had,

Sure, there are horrible glitches and luckily - they are rare.

Also, the characters aren't a big deal. Usually, people who create CAWs do better and are more up to date so it is what it is.

Oddly, towers sounds pretty lame. It doesn't sound any different than playing through Raw is War or Attitude story mode.

Unfortunately none of this new stuff interests me as long as they don't completely overhaul their gameplay. WWE games for the longest time now have been so subpar.
