Let’s be honest: WWE 2K25 is fun, but sometimes it feels like the AI is on a caffeine bender. If you want matches that feel more like real wrestling, with back-and-forth action, close pinfalls, and no more superhuman reversals every 10 seconds, here’s a simple guide to the best sliders for realism.
