I have not played the game yet ok so even though I'm giving this game a 5 is because they are fixing it so if it's a good patch I will give it an 8 but come on guys are you really going to bash on this game because of the glitchs this game has cause the rest of the games have glitchs and career does not look that bad so come on guys if they fix it and the patch is good give this game another shot and if you have already posted your score for this game change it if you think the patch helped a lot… Expand

    I've been a fan of WWE games since Smackdown HCTP came out. Every year the developers were focused on making the game better and to surprise the fans (mostly in a good way). Once 2K took over the series and released WWE 2K14, it was quite a good start for the game series. Then WWE 2K15 on the next gen (PS4/XBOX ONE) was not so good - weird graphic (but title belts looked much better andI've been a fan of WWE games since Smackdown HCTP came out. Every year the developers were focused on making the game better and to surprise the fans (mostly in a good way). Once 2K took over the series and released WWE 2K14, it was quite a good start for the game series. Then WWE 2K15 on the next gen (PS4/XBOX ONE) was not so good - weird graphic (but title belts looked much better and hair motions was added), though the roster was very small.

    Since WWE 2K15, 2K has presented a lot of improvements. Every year the game was getting better and you could se a difference while playing a new edition.

    WWE 2K20 was supposed to be an apogee of what WWE 2K has done so far. In fact what we see: the marketing strategy changes a lot and the roster is being revealed on Twitter (and also one 9 min short video with 1/5 of the entire roster being announced) just 2-3 weeks prior to the game release. The graphics feels extremely downgraded (it seems like you are playing WWE 2K15 PART II). Officially, Visual Concepts took over the graphics, letting Yukes go, which influenced the overall perception of the whole game. The amount of glitches is enormous. Even first 5 GB patch did not fix it.

    From my point of you, the things that 2K messed up this year:

    1) graphics (even '18 and '19 graphics looked much better. You can easily find the comparison on YouTube and see the difference);

    2) the showcase (the idea of showcase itself is nice, but why would you call it "Women's Evolution" and put only matches from the last 4-5 years? Just call it "4 Horsewomen" or "Evolution of 4 Horsewomen"). I feel sorry that some great women's matches were omitted and 2k presented it the way there was no women's wrestling before 4HW (no Chyna, Trish, Molly, Victoria, Jazz, Gail, Lita, Ivory, Michelle McCool, Beth etc).

    3) 2K originals DLC (deciding to stop releasing classic DLC packs with some Legends (mainly HOF class) and breakout NXT stars and to make fictional wrestling universe with some zombies and magical stuff is not something WWE 2k series fans were expecting. Probably this was done to attract new players and the youngest fans, but still it is not something really funny, Many people call wrestling fake and now you can find "Frankenstrowman", "Pilgrim" Rusev and "The Swampfather" Bray Wyatt, which is absolutely cringed. I tried to play the first 2K originals pack "Bump in the night" just because it was a bonus and I did not have to pay for it. How does it feel? Basically, just themed 2K towers where you can unlock horror-like stuff).

    4) roster (funny enough there is no NXT UK show in WWE Universe! NXT UK Women's title? Nope. NXT UK Tag Team titles? Nope. WALTER is in (as he is the current NXT UK champion)? Nope. Maybe Kay Lee Ray made it (as the current NXT UK Women's champion)? Nope. Standard NXT UK arena? NO! The only things you have are NXT UK title, 4 new NXT UK wrestlers (8 in total) and NXT UK Takeover arena. It would be smart to make NXT UK DLC pack, right? With the titles missing, some wrestlers and arenas? Well... this year only fictional universe and features that make you cringe. Also, there are some serious omissions when it comes to the roster. Some models of current Superstars were just copied and pasted: Johnny Gargano, for example. Lita has the same model for already 5 years (since WWE 2k16). You can find much more examples).

    5) the game is already outdated (some gimmicks, themes, RAW and Smackdown arenas - it is already outdated at the release date).

    6) glitches (there are so many glitches, that I decided to write this review. While playing Universe Mode, the game decided to give US title to Becky (no idea how it is even possible), delete some tag teams and change the rivalries the way it wants. While checking YouTube, you can find long compilations with some spotted glitches).

    I bought this game only because it is a tradition for me. I have been buying each WWE game since HCTP and, of course I could not miss a new release. Everything I wrote in this review is only my perception of the game.

    If you are a new player and you would like to try WWE games, check WWE 2k19.

    If you are an old fan of the series and pissed off about this year game, then welcome to the club :)    … Expand

    This game has got some potential but man is it a mess. Career mode was decent but barely any updates to the game. They took away so many good features and the game is a laggy mess. Save your money and pick it up for like 10 bucks when it drops in a few months.

The new controller system is okay at best. Just don't see the reason of needing to change it. Universe mode is incredibly broken. Crashes to a blue screen all the time. Want to use Universe the way it was designed? Forget about it. It'll crash. Want to use a custom arena in Universe? Nah, it'll crash. Want to have Brock Lesnar attack Rey Mysterio before their match? Guess what? Yup, it crashes. #FixWWE2K20… Expand

Grahpichs are downgraded for many reasons but when we look at what 2k19 offered to only get a shell of the game which we paid for it is shocking that 2k thought this was all right. Glad I skipped this game but feel bad for many people that enjoyed yearly realse of these games and to settle for this, namely my brother who has gotten his money back.

    It’s not to bad but it could be better with having the create a championship back, but what they should have is create you own move like finisher and or signature. This crashes a lot on my PS4 and I hate it but rumor 2k21 could be worse

    few months after its release, the game is still buggy. movement animations are still worse than the previous titles. and the story is half okay. the women's storyline is good. the male's storyline is an outright joke. almost all the quest of the male character is either to lose the match, take glory or a joke. if this is a stance about women empowerment its good. if its stance is aboutfew months after its release, the game is still buggy. movement animations are still worse than the previous titles. and the story is half okay. the women's storyline is good. the male's storyline is an outright joke. almost all the quest of the male character is either to lose the match, take glory or a joke. if this is a stance about women empowerment its good. if its stance is about equality, I think they may need to consult the meaning of the word or what it symbolizes. what I'm going with this is if they made the quest either good or at least equal cringe to both characters, it would be better... not this cringe-fest they called storyline...… Expand

    You wrestle hard , executing finishers your opponent stamina is getting low but suddenly he jumps out like he just got into the fight( stamina system is messed up), animations frames are missing sometimes, also some moves feels too automatic you have less control over the character than in w2k18 game.
    Female wrestlers are lookIng less appeal, roster worse than 18’game( but it depends on taste)
    Pros You can play as female in career mode, also mVSf matches added, sweat and lightning looks better and Colors more warmer, reverse Move window sorta fixed and now it’s easy to play stylish than before at the same time it became harder to play against AI,
    I got deluxe Version for $7.99 So there is not much to complain about...

    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.
