![]() Unfortunately, I doubt WWE announcers would be able to devote enough time to record new commentary throughout the year. EA does something similar to what is done with Madden in FIFA. NBA 2K has multiple announce teams to keep things fresh. ![]() Madden has its commentary team come back into the studio throughout the season to add more dialog. Sports games have evolved from a commentary standpoint. This is something that really isn’t on the developers, it’s more a product of the restrictions of the license and time resources. The biggest area of opportunity for the game continues to be the commentary. Also, thanks to the creation suite and one of the fastest, most dedicated and talented communities, those gaps are often filled. However, with the addition of Chyna and the return of everyone else of note, there is no sensible beef to have with the roster. Ware, One Man Gang, King Kong Bundy, Bobby Heenan, Iron Sheik, Nikolai Volkov and a few others would all be great to control. Are there still a few legends who we could say would be solid additions? The Boogeyman, Virgil, Kerry Von Erich, Koko B. There are so many playable wrestlers in the game it’s dizzying. The move back and forth between the man and woman is smooth, and most fans will be engaged. WWE 2K20 introduces Female MyPlayers for the first time, and you have to create a man and a woman when you begin your M圜areer journey. I won’t share any of the M圜areer story details, but I will say the dialog is solid, and so is the story. Truth is, I really didn’t want to spoil too much of it for myself. I didn’t get to spend as much time as I’d like playing M圜areer myself, but I was able to watch a few people go through some of the story. Hopefully there will be a few touch-ups in these areas. A few other instances came along the ropes and near the ring stairs. Granted, some of it came in big-head mode, which is excusable. This was an early build, but I saw a few instances of those problems. Trippy animations and odd clipping have been legacy issues with the WWE 2K series. ![]() Hopefully this is something that will change moving forward, but as of now blood wasn’t showing up–even with the option turned on in the settings.īased on what we just saw at the conclusion of Hell in a Cell, I think it’s safe to say WWE has removed its taboo feelings about showing blood. As of now, there aren’t any real mini-games, and if any sports game has room for that concept it is WWE 2K. I feel like there is room for 2K to add in a mode(s) that is only loosely based on professional wrestling, but would still add to the franchise’s value. There's Room for Some Senseless Mini-Games We’re not talking about groundbreaking additions to the suite, but anything that is added to what was already a great set of options is a plus. Just know everything that was in 2K19 from a creation standpoint, aside from the delayed CAC, is in and more. I could spend paragraphs explaining all of the bells and whistles in this expansive feature, but you would be reading a 5,000-word article. 1 in the industry and second place isn’t close. Perhaps with the stronger hardware supplied at launch with PlayStation 5, we’ll see more these options come back bigger and better for WWE 2K21 and beyond.Īside from the missing CAF, CAS, and delayed CAC, the creation suite is still No. The CAF feature and GM Mode are the ones I miss the most, but with VC moving away from Yukes, I knew this wouldn’t be the year to see those features return. However, I was assured that feature would be added in one of the first patches after launch. At launch, WWE 2K20 will also be without Create-A-Championship. Pressing R2+A starts the hold.Ĭreate-A-Finisher, GM Mode and Create-A-Story aren’t in this year’s game. You don’t need to do a front facelock to begin the sequence. Applying a submission is different as well. You climb with RB which prevents your character from climbing up the turnbuckle or cage when in close proximity with a weapon and vice versa. OMG moments have a similar functionality. Signature and Finishers are done with a double-button press (X/A for Xbox and Square/X for PS4). The Y/Square button is now what you use for reversals. ![]() It’s a lot like WWE 2K19 with a few alterations. If you’re looking for the second coming of WWF No Mercy, that’s not what the 2K20 gameplay feels like. Gameplay is Solid, But Not Drastically Different Isn’t that what wrestling is in real life? It’s reality with a cartoon filter. If you could place a 10% cartoon filter on a real-life photo of every wrestler in the company, you’d capture the visual personality of WWE 2K20. The renders for WWE 2K20 walk that line perfectly. However, it is still based on real life men and women, thus we want that photo-realistic quality as well. Wrestling is fantasy, and we like to see the heroes and heroines in their most optimal physical condition with a slight touch of shine. The WWE 2K renders are in the ideal place artistically.
