How To Get A 5-Star Match Rating in wwe 2k24

Just like in real life, having a five-star quality wrestling match in WWE 2K24 takes a lot of precision, skill, and professionalism. To get five stars, you will need to meet certain parameters and create the perfect painful spectacle for viewers. The factors that influence a match rating in WWE 2K24 are:

  • Defensive Prowess
  • Signature Offense
  • Memorable Moments
  • Heightened Drama
  • Varied Offense

It goes without saying that the longer a match goes and the more drama it features, the higher the rating you will receive. Something that is guaranteed to drum up a huge roar from the crowd is the classic kick-out at the last second while the referee is counting down. Similarly, seeing a wrestler locked in a tight submission hold and escaping at the last moment is a surefire way to heighten the drama in the match.

Besides this, showing off your defensive skills and perfectly timing counter moves is an incredible way to boost your match rating. Plus, letting your opponent land the occasional jab and pin you down while you attempt to kick out of it keeps the action flowing and nets you more XP. The more you delay the win, the greater the XP and the higher the match rating you receive.

To spice up things and make a match even more memorable, you can use a variety of moves, including Signature Moves, to counter your opponent and display your power by throwing people off the stage or simply taunting your opponent. Those awe-inspiring dives from the top rope and unforgettable Finisher moves can also significantly influence the match rating.

That being said, the match rating ultimately comes down to how much you can excite the crowd and push them to the edge of their seats. By increasing the drama and giving an unforgettable performance, you’re all set for a five-star match rating in WWE 2K24.
