WWE 2K24: How To Change A Superstar's Rating

The rating system in the WWE 2K franchise has often raised eyebrows among fans, especially because certain wrestlers are overrated or underrated. However, W WE 2K24 may be the most controversial. Legends like Kurt Angle and the 1997 version of Stone Cold Steve Austin score less than 90 in the game. It's disappointing to see legends like Ted Dibiase and Ravishing Rick Rude with low ratings.

The scoring system becomes even more questionable when Logan Paul, an athletically gifted performer, but green part-timer, scores higher than Kurt and Austin '97. Even Dom Mysterio is rated three points more than the upcoming Bron Breakker. Thankfully, fans can change the WWE 2K24 rating system to their liking. This guide will show you how it's done.

Updated March 17, 2024, by Michael Llewellyn: WWE 2K24 offers multiple ways to customize and change every aspect of their wrestler's attributes. This includes how they behave in the ring when controlled by the AI. So if you want to have matches with wrestlers that resemble how the real wrestlers act in the ring, you can do it. This guide is updated to include how to adjust a WWE wrestler's AI and the HIT Point Ratio is explained.

How To Change A Wrestler's AI Logic In WWE 2K24

You can change a wrestler's logic in a WWE 2K24 so that the computer-controlled character behaves more like their real-life counterpart. It isn't as in-depth as the Fire Pro Wrestling series, but it's a step in the right direction for fans trying to recreate the televised product. It's an excellent idea and prevents wrestlers like the 500lb Andre the Giant from performing repeated diving attacks from the top rope. Head into the Options screen, and select Edit Superstars. Select the WWE wrestler you want to edit, and click AI Attributes.

Hit Point Ratio In WWE 2K24

WWE 2K24 Wrestler Hit Points Ratio - Triple H

If your favorite wrestler is getting damaged more in specific areas than others, you may want to adjust the Hit Point Ratio. Head into the Options screen, and select Edit Superstars. Select the WWE wrestler you want to edit, and click Hit Point Ratio. WWE wrestlers have 4000 points to distribute evenly between the head, body, arms, and legs. If you want your wrestler to receive less damage to a specific body part, you must increase the hit points in that area. However, this lowers body strength in other areas.
