Learn how to get 5 stars on your match rating in WWE 2K25 by going through all the metrics the game uses to rate the match.
The Match Rating in WWE 2K25 can be observed on the top right of your screen during matches. As the fight begins, the meter slowly starts to fill up, along with the five empty stars over it. After the match’s conclusion, the game will assign you a match performance rating out of 5 stars. When playing ranked, the rating will add to your Reputation Point (RP) bonus.
The RP will, in turn, directly affect progress on the ranking ladder. Thus, you will want to score a 5-star match rating as often as possible to advance your rank. In 2K25, several metrics are used to calculate your match rating, including Defensive Prowess, Signature Offense, Memorable Moments, Heightened Drama, and Varied Offense. Here are the details on how to increase the ratings using these metrics.
1) Signature Offense
Signature Offense takes into account the big, show-making moves that the fans want to see. Keeping track of the crowd reactions and your star meter during attacks will highlight all the moments generating signature offense.
2) Heightened Drama
In order to create a spectacle in the ring, Heightened Drama serves to build up tension. Kicking out of a pin at the last moment, taunting your opponent while they are down, and breaking a few rules all serve to heighten the drama.
3) Memorable Moments
Memorable Moments often combine elements of Heightened Drama and Signature Offense. Rolling out of the way of a high-flying move and nailing your opponent with a finisher before ending the match with a pin is an example of creating a memorable moment for yourself and the “audience.” Using the environment for powerful attacks is a reliable way to make Memorable Moments.
4) Defensive Prowess
Not all the above-mentioned metrics add to the final score proportionally, and Defensive Prowess is an example of that. The score relies on defensive maneuvers such as reversals, counter attacks, and possum attacks. Your Defensive Prowess will generally be numerically lower on your overall rating.
5) Varied Offense
This sub-rating awards you points for showcasing a diverse move set during the match. Mixing in high-flying attacks, rope moves, and environmental finishers will prevent the action from becoming stale and help you substantially boost your match rating.
Setting aside their technical details, the match rating seeks to estimate how crowd-pleasing your match has been, giving high points for signature attacks, variation, and showboating. Keep mixing things up during the fight, utilizing all the tools at your disposal. If the match keeps you hooked with its drama and makes for memorable gameplay, there is a good chance you are getting a 5-star match rating.
