Gameplay Options To Change In WWE 2K24

Before diving into the submission sliders, you should decide whether or not to mash the buttons or hold down the prompted button as the attacker or the defender. It's an excellent setting for accessibility and neither option takes anything away from the gameplay in WWE 2K24. Use the following steps to customize the submission setting:

Open the Options menu.
Select the Gameplay screen.
Highlight the Allow Held Input For Mini-Games and turn it on or off.
Then Save.

Held inputs also affect the pinning mini-game.

Submission Sliders In WWE 2K24

The submission sliders in WWE 2K24 are complex. Yet, they can make a difference if you're having trouble against the AI in matches. The computer-controlled wrestler is overpowered with its submission attacks or defense. The following will explain the function of the sliders:

Attacker Cancel Threshold (Player) - Enforces a time limit on canceling the submission. Switching it off will give you more control over the submission mini-game as the attacker.
Attacker Button Press Strength (Player) - This slider determines the strength of the attacker's submission attempt. If the number is high the AI will be less challenging to submit.
Attacker Wrong Button Press Strength (Player) - Determines the penalty for pressing the incorrect button prompt. The defender gets the advantage if you press/mash the wrong button.
Defender Button Press Strength (Player) - This slider determines the challenge when trapped in a submission hold. You have a better chance of breaking the submission attempt with a high number.
Defender Wrong Button Press Penalty (Player) - Determines how much the defender penalty for pressing the wrong button in the mini-game. Decrease the number if you want an easier time escaping the submission attempt.

Experiment with the settings to find your preference and set the match rules to submissions only.

Attacker Button Press Strength (AI) - Determines the strength of submission attacks performed by the computer-controlled opponent. Turn this down below 50 if you want a better chance of escaping the submission finisher.
Attacker Wrong Button Press Strength (AI) - Determines how much the computer-controlled opponent is penalized for a wrong button press. The AI is ridiculously accurate, so lower this to at least 40.

Defender Button Press Strength (AI) - Determines how difficult it is to submit the computer-controlled opponent. Lower the slider to at least 40 when playing it on hard or legend difficulty.
Defender Wrong Button Press Penalty (AI) - Determines the penalty of the computer-controlled opponent's mistimed button press. This should be lowered to at least 40.

Even with the slider's advantage, if your wrestler has taken too much damage in a long match or been on the receiving end of too many finishers, they won't escape.

That's everything needed to understand the submission sliders in WWE 2K24 and be able to take the fight to submission-based wrestlers.
