    The story in MyCareer is awesome. There are a lot of glitches in gameplay that I hope they patch. The cutscenes for MyCareer that I've seen so far have had glitching with hair. Graphics have taken a step down but the sweat is much more visible on the characters during the matches which is pretty cool.

    While the creation suite and roster, much like previous games, are both great, it’s hard to really say that either of that matters when everything else is either worse in every way, or not improved in any shape or form, making this the weakest wrestling game in recent memory, and one to skip since it’s just plain worse.

    Game isn't even functional. The amount of bugs and glitches makes this an unplayable mess of a game. How dare anyone release a game in this state!

    @ForbiddenSun even if it were to get patched no videogame studio should EVER release a game in this state

    I'm not surprised this game is a mess - Yukes left and they scrambled to try and get whatever they could together in order to release a game and it really shows. People are talking about them patching it but I don't think they'll get anywhere near a 5/10 within a year when you consider they'll be switching their focus to 2k21 in the not too distant future.

    Broken game. Glitchy, crashes constantly, CAW problems, and overall pretty unplayable. Can’t believe they released the game in this state. I’m not touching it again until they release a patch. Don’t waste your money.

    While the Career mode is quite fun in my opinion, the game is incredibly broken, with some of these bugs making you legitimately unable to play.

Two I can think of are when in universe mode I spawned into a match with one character being invisible in the cutscene (like what occasionally happened in 2k19) and when the match continued the character invisible in the cutscene did not appear at all (which did not ever happen to me in 2k19) When going into controller select, there was the one guy who did actually spawn, then just a line of unselectable Andre the Giants.The other one is an infinite loading screen if I tried to create an entrance with a superstar who had any logo on them. Couple that with the targeting system that was somehow made even worse and I believe it is safe to say that this may be the worst wrestling game I have played. If you are planning on getting this, I would recommend to reconsider.… Expand

    The game have zero redeeming qualities.
    - horrible graphics.
    - extremely bad programming.
    - can't move two steps without a glitch. - hit detection does not exist. - physics are a myth. - notable wrestlers missing.

    I already requested a refund. And strongly advise every wrestling fan to stare away of it.

    This game is a disaster. It should not have been released in its current state. The game was very clearly rushed out and has suffered severely because of it.

    Some wrestlers are broken beyond anything I've seen in any other game, whether it's their hair, their attire, their entrances, or their movesets. Some examples include Erick Rowan and Trent Seven sometimes appearing without beards.    This game is a disaster. It should not have been released in its current state.

    Some wrestlers are broken beyond anything I've seen in any other game, whether it's their hair, their attire, their entrances, or their movesets. Some examples include Erick Rowan and Trent Seven sometimes appearing without beards. Adam Cole enters without kneepads. Becky Lynch's Backlash '17 attire is beyond Assassin's Creed: Unity levels of broken.

    The physics are off, and hit detection is all over the place. The controls feel clunky. It just doesn't operate like any other wrestling game I own (and that's not a good thing).

    The game has crashed on me multiple times. It feels very unstable in general, like I could get an error message at any time and lose my progress.

    The story mode is corny and looks graphically subpar for a current gen game. Create a Championship mode has been removed (although it has been said that it will be patched in later). The image uploader is broken, as it won't let you download your uploaded images onto your local storage. I struggle thinking of positive points about this game. Radio silence from 2K regarding a patch is also not promising.

    Having owned every WWE 2K game, this one comes off as the most disappointing, especially given how good 2K19 was. 2K20 is just another broken game to add to the pile of broken games that have come out this year. What makes it worse though is the lack of communication between the developers and the public. The complaints are overwhelming and WWE 2K's social media presence, it seems, is more concerned with promoting tournaments than addressing the glaring issues in this game.

If you want to create a custom Superstar you will find the attire creation is buggy from Item colours being reset once you save them to. Might say oh that's it I wouldn't mind that being a problem well let's just say anything you create won't load in game. Whether it's in the online modes or Exhibition.

    Now onto Gameplay from the ring physics breaking sometimes when the steps are in the ring to players just teleporting it's just a huge mess. Some moves look good but this game is only playable in the offline modes with no created content included which makes.me think this game was never ever tested at any point in time. So now we move onto online, there was a problem that Yikes took 2 Years to fix which was split matches which occured when you and your opponent or tag partner both went into different matches resulting in the split Match. With this game that is not back and as bad as ever. Usually spam moves are a thing where the moves are either impossible to counter or they give the person doing the move an advantage meaning you have wasted a counter. This is still a massive problem in this game.as for some reason moves in last year's game are now becoming spam moves, certain kicks give the person countering it a disadvantage when really you should have the advantage if you counter someone's move.
    This is one instance I have found with spam moves but looking at the state of the game I can honestly imagine there are a lot more. (PS most 2k19 spam moves are still spam moves in this year's game, the only differences are some are named differently) Soundtracks are named wrong, Jeff Hardy's song is called Evolution.

    Gameplay in terms of getting players up from the ground is super slow which shouldn't be the case for this style of game. They removed all custom Arenas, Matches and entrances for the online game mode. You might be the type of person who gives John Cena a female entrance and get a bit of a laugh out of it with your mates, they removed this and the match loads straight Away when your playing online with a friend. Extreme Rule matches don't have Tables or Ladders No 24/7 Championship and also the Create a title feature isn't there on release.

    In myplayer the graphics look awful and they flicker and it looks like PS3 graphics quite literally. Randy Savage just looks like a Homeless person I've heard the same is the case with John Cena but I haven't even dared to look yet.

    The Controls did change this year and it's super easier to counter with Triangle and your player no longer flinches when you spam the Counter button.
    New finisher button is Square and X, it's preference but I'd prefer it if there was atleast an option to go back to older controls since they pushed a lot of new controls on us this year. Review Avoid at all costs Positives No flinching when trying to counter.
    This is legit the only positive from the game I can think off. Really disappointed this game was released in this way, it was just a money grab in my opinion    … Expand

There are a few more areas to brawl in but none of them are very interactive and are very limited on what you can do. Next up the controls, the controls have been completely redone. They’re said to be simplified for newcomers but in fact they’re quite the opposite. This includes pressing 2 up to 3 buttons for a finisher now. The game at some points a a buggy unplayable mess and I do not suggest picking this title up. If you’re looking for a similar wrestling game although far from the best you’re better off buying WWE 2K19… Expand

Awful A.I, targeting,lighting glitches, graphical glitches, poor writing, audio bugs, obnoxious characters in my career. Ridiculous objectives in said mycareer. Lack of new features.

    The story is melodramatic trash. The voice acting is awful. There are no ambient sounds when the characters are in the city. The roster is complete garbage. There so many unknown and boring wrestlers. Some of the popular wrestlers don't even look like their real life counterparts. The Rock looks like Maven, John Cena looks Asian, and Molly Holly looks like a created wrestler. The new control scheme is tedious and stupid. There are too many bugs and glitches.

    I don't recommend this game at all, even if you are a diehard wrestling fan. This game lacks the AAA quality to justify the $60 price tag. Even a PS2 game like Smackdown vs RAW 2006 has better facial models than this so-called PS4 game. John Cena and The Rock actually look more accurate in PS2 games than this poor excuse of a PS4 game.    … Expand

    Even though at this point many of the tragic problems the game had at its release have been addressed, WWE 2K20 is a shadow of the former games of the series, and only capable of delivering some fun only to the most avid fans of the franchise.
