WWE 2K22: How to make pinfall escapes easier

One of WWE 2K22's declared goals was to make the game more user-friendly in order to appeal to novices as much as possible. WWE 2K22 returns to its roots this year, with mashing prompts for the majority of the primary action buttons. Everything from pin escapes to submission attempts to Royal Rumble eliminations is controlled by button mashing.

Players with motor skill impairments would ordinarily be left out in the cold, but Visual Concepts has included the option to treat a button hold as a sequence of fast taps. We'll walk you through how to activate it and explain what it does and doesn't do.

The bad news is that you can only modify this choice from the game's Main Menu. Navigate down to gameplay by pressing the left shoulder button once, L1 on PlayStation and LB on Xbox. Once within the menu, scroll down to the "allow held input for minigames" option. It's crucial to remember to press the option or start button to save the choice changes; otherwise, you'll have to repeat the process.

All you have to do once you're inside the game is keep the button pressed, and the game will generate taps for you. This isn't a get-out-of-jail-free card, but it will provide you a cushion and keep you from having to rely on a single finisher. Significant damage will still prevent you from kicking out, but this approach will save you a lot of time and effort.
