Best WWE 2K23 Match Slider Settings

While attempting to cash out matches in WWE 2k23, learn the best slider settings that you can try out for your matches!

WWE 2K23 features mainly matches that take place for either longer periods of time or shorter matches. Whether it’s AI vs. AI or lengthier matches, players need to know about what the best WWE 2K23 Slider settings might be since it can get pretty intimidating to figure out how to get the perfect settings, as there are quite a few options that players can mess around with. 

Sliders are settings that players can increase or decrease in order to customise their AI vs AI matches and players can customise AI settings, custom prompts, stamina, etc all of which is kept in five main settings aka presentation, balancing, targeting, gameplay and advanced. 

Important: In order to have the shortest as well as longest matches, players need to know the correct gameplay, presentation, balancing, targeting, and advanced settings to adapt.

AI Vs. AI Shorter Match Settings

Kicking things off, the first type of matches that we typically want to focus on are shorter matches that aren’t stretched out for too long. These settings can definitely be tampered with, but these settings below are listed while being catered to AI vs. AI Realistic Matches for shorter matches.

First things first, players want to choose between the different settings that are made available for their overall gameplay, and the best settings to go for are listed as follows: 

Gameplay Settings

Mid Match Run In (Play Mode) Off 
Post Match Run In (Play Mode)Off 
Blood On

  • Now, one of the Main reasons that most of these WWE 2K23 Slider settings have been kept off, such as the mid-match and post-match run-in, as well as allow held input, is simply so that the length of the matches don’t exceed longer than they need to.

Presentation

Moving on, the next patch of settings that players need to be concerned with is their presentation, and there are quite a few settings to get through here. Therefore, players can choose to stick with these custom ones or make changes as they, please. 

Presentation Settings 
Superstar HUD Off 
Fatigue On

  • The AI Dive rate is kept at a 0 simply so that there are no dives taking place, 
  • The springboard rate being kept at 0 means that they will still springboard, but the chances of it happening become extremely rare. 
  • For all entrance ruins, mid-match run-ins, and post-match run-ins, players are free to keep the settings to whatever they desire.
