WWE 2K24features a similar system to last year that makes reversing and countering attacks on the ground more accessible. However, if players don’t know how to defend themselves against ground attacks, it can lead to frustration against opponents offline and online. This is especially true online, where players like to exploit every advantage they can to win. The reversal prompts are improved fromWWE 2K24,but the timing can still be tricky. Use the following tips to improve your chances of reversing and countering ground attacks and grapples inWWE 2K24.
Reversing Grounded Grapple Moves In WWE 2K24
The improvements made to the reversal prompts let players know if they are too early or too late when pressingthe Triangle button on PlayStation or the Y button on the Xbox to reverse attacks.Simply put,WWE 2K24does a better job of teaching you how to time the reversals. However, it’s still better to watch and learn theWWE Superstars’animations to get the timing for reversals down to a fine art.
Try and learn an opponent’s animations instead of relying on the reversal prompt.
Reversal Settings To Adjust
Players can adjust the reversal settings to make the prompts easier when escaping the ground attacks. Use the following steps to make reversals easier:
Changing the sliders doesn’t work for online matches or the MyFaction mode.
Counter Grounded Grapples In WWE 2K24
After the original developers Yukes moved on, the developers at Visual Concepts introduced a new way to counter attacks,grapples, and ground moves inWWE 2K24.It requires a bit of educated guessing and predicting the opponent’s next move, but you may have a better time using this method instead of the standard method.
Countering/Breaking Ground Grapples
As mentioned above, you must predict theWWE wrestler’snext move in order for the counter to work. If they attack with a strong grapple, you must counter bypressing X on the PlayStation or A on the Xbox. Likewise, if they attack with the light grapple, you must counter bypressing the Square button on the PlayStation or X on the Xbox.
You can press the counter/grapple breaker button repeatedly before the opponent attacks. It doesn’t need to be timed like the reversal button.
Counter Grounded Submissions
Getting caught in a submission may not endthe WWE matchin one go, but it can cause significant damage to your wrestler’s body parts. To counter a potential submission hold from any position,press the Circle button on the PlayStation or the B button on the Xbox.
That’s everything a player needs to reverse and counter an opponent who is determined to keep your wrestler grounded.
