If you're trying to escape, you'll want to keep the bars separate. Players control one bar when attempting to submit an opponent, and must maneuver it to touch the other one. This involves a circle with two bars on it. Probably the worst carry-over from previous WWE 2K games is the horrible submission mini-game. If you play a submission-based wrestler, prepare for dealing with a horrible mini game frequently 2K Most are easy to pull off, but every now and then you'll get hung up on a specific task where you're seemingly doing everything correctly, but it just won't work some unclear reason. These matches require you to complete a checklist of moves at specific times, like landing a running strike, or a grapple when your opponent is in the corner. These control flaws become more obvious when you're required to pull off specific moves, like in the reintroduced 2K Showcase mode. Is it really easier to do a running dive over the top rope to the outside of a ring than it is to simply put a guy on a table? I guess so. It's especially frustrating when the controls for pulling off high-flying or power moves feel far simpler. After numerous attempts, I was never able to get my opponent on the table, and ended up losing the match. I don't know how many times I tried to simply grab my opponent, only for something not to work. Setting up a table in WWE 2K19 isn't tricky, but grabbing an opponent, putting them on the table, and pulling off a move to send them through it feels a lot more difficult than it should be. The rules are simple: the first person put through a table is the loser. Take, for instance, the classic table match. It's making things work correctly that's the hard part. WWE 2K19 continues this philosophy, allowing players to have just about any match type, with any big spots they want. But having the tools to do something and actually pulling it off successfully are two different things. Past WWE 2K games allowed you to pull off whatever you wanted in terms of wrestling moves and stunts. The phenomenal AJ Styles showing off how good WWE 2K19 can look 2K
