    Disgraceful and pathetic from 2K because this is one on the most laziest wrestling games i ever played since WCW Backstage Assault for the PS1 and it's beyond the joke and my god the graphics are dreadful and it's unacceptable also there's glitches and bugs galore which makes the game unplayable and the hit detection is garbage and all the modes have massive issues and i was really shockedDisgraceful and pathetic from 2K because this is one on the most laziest wrestling games i ever played since WCW Backstage Assault for the PS1 and it's beyond the joke and my god the graphics are dreadful and it's unacceptable also there's glitches and bugs galore which makes the game unplayable and the hit detection is garbage and all the modes have massive issues and i was really shocked when Yukes left because they deserve better then this and it's such a shame to see a broken game with no innovation what so ever and what's even worst is that it's a huge insult to gamers and wrestling fans like myself so guys do not buy WWE 2K20 and stay the hell away from 2k sport games because i can only see that greedy publisher getting worse in the years to come… Expand

    Do not support such a lazy excuse of a developer/publisher that have put the bare minimum into this franchise for damn near a decade. WWE2K20 is unmitigated unplayable mess of bugs, outdated material and incredibly sluggish gameplay.

    As someone that has played wrestling games since the early days of the N64 and a constant supporter of the WWE 2K series, this is by far one of the worst wrestling games I've ever played.

I will update this review when these bugs areAs someone that has played wrestling games since the early days of the N64 and a constant supporter of the WWE 2K series, this is by far one of the worst wrestling games I've ever played. As of this writing, the game is inherently broken and suffers from these glitches, bugs, and removed features below, from a list I found compiled online. I will update this review when these bugs are fixed:

    Images can be uploaded using the online image uploader, but the images cannot be downloaded once in-game.

    Universe divisions are glitched. They may not save.

    Loading screen for Matches and Create an entrance mode get caught in a seemingly infinite loop when using a superstar with custom logos

    Can't switch between partners on the fly anymore. No known workaround.

    Adding a superstar to a division in Universe takes away another superstar, seems to be the last ranked one.

    Rowan's beard doesn't appear at times

    Managers multiply at times. Seen here.

    Hair dye reverts after saving

    The "Resiliency" perk refuses to activate

    Can't download alt Hogan attires from Community Creations due to "not having the proper DLC", despite owning the DLC

    Some users experiencing a glitch where all CAWs start a match with zero stamina and red health

    Some users are having issues not being able to control their characters for the first ten seconds of the match

    After buying Curtis Axel's beard item in MyCareer, all of one user's unlocked facial hairs only showed up pink in cutscenes and matches, no matter what.

    Adam Cole enters without kneepads, but they magically appear when the match starts.

    Create moveset: many of the animations are broken during preview. Catching finishers, table finishers, ect. Defending champion animation's have them doing magic tricks and clipping belt through body..

    Participants in tag matches on the apron for some reason are holding nothing instead of the rope at times..

    Hair floats off of superstars at points.

    Billie Kay has Zelina Vega's moveset.

    Advanced Create An Entrance won't let you save.

    Day 1 patch removed the shirt and boas from Hogan's entrance

    Tomasso Ciampa doesn’t have a pre-set strong running grapple and if you try to practice with that non existent it crashes the game.

    The ref starts counting someone out if they are thrown over the top rope but stay dazed on the hardest part of the ring.

    The audience audio during 2K showcase randomly cuts out between cut scenes.

    Showcase bug where the objective is to Irish Whip Natalya into the turnbuckle and despite doing it multiple times, it's not counted..

    Online tag matches sometimes turn into a 3 v 1 when your partner is somehow automatically teamed up with your opponents. Certain superstars are getting stuck frozen in their "comeback" animation. Downloading CAWs from Community Creations causes their names to change to a CAW you already have on system. Multiple reports of random game freezes. X-Pac isn't unlocking with the Accelerator for some people. Certain creation items are locked behind playing MyCareer. The Hardy's music is listed under "Evolution". On the champions page in Universe mode, every slot is just Kofi as WWE champion.. No champions are entering with their titles in Universe mode. Face scans are pretty messed up. Creating alternate attires results in a weird shadow overlay on characters. Belts don't appear on larger body types, get clipped inside the character. CAWs being imported into an existing universe mode lose their moveset and overall rating. Luke Harper's theme is a 3 second loop that starts over and over. The Shield group entrance floats over lava when entering the "hell" arena. Multiple cases of hair and clothing stretching to max resolution. Removed Features: The "random superstar" button has been removed. Can't switch to and control your tag partner anymore. Can't change the color of face paint anymore. Post match Elimination Chamber celebrations are gone. You can no longer have mixed gender stables. The option for "Superstar Head Height" has been removed, head width remains. The ability to view entrances during an online match is gone. No using MyCareer arenas online. You can now only have one ladder during a TLC match as opposed to the old 3 or 4. You aren't able to use any created arenas during online play. No custom matches for online gameplay. Create A Championship, despite being in since 2K15, "will be patched in" later on    … Expand

    2K20 is a glitchy, buggy mess of a game that literally no one should try, at least until after the game's (possibly) many patches. It will never live up to what it's predecessor, WWE 2K19, had.

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.

I'm a huge WWE Fan and let's just say this game is a complete buggy mess and they would need a recovery like No Man's sky did for it to be even playable. 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

    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 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.

Showcase mode is my favourite mode this year by default because it's the only play mode that loaded. MyCareer loaded once, and even then it was only the first match before it stopped loading again, other than that every time I open up MyCareer, I'm stuck on a loading screen for 20 minutes before I inevitably just close the game.

    I learned that through a little bit of trickery it's possible to remove Mankind's mask and that all of Cactus Jack's attire is in the game. Problem? Cactus Jack isn't allowed to be from anywhere because anytime I try to choose his hometown the game immediately crashes. I tried to make Dude Love, but the game crashed on the very first clothing option. I tried to make sure Cactus Jack's entrance was right and create an entrance wouldn't load.

    Simple matches won't load. Nothing works. This patch that's supposed to be coming out had better cause a miracle, because otherwise there's no saving this game.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I can’t determine the amount of glitch liability counted throughout the game, the MYCAREER is an overbearing bore fest with little to be entertained other than the performances of the Velveteen Dream and Samoa Joe. The game sonically runs terribly, graphics can be depicted as an oversight from SmackDown vs Raw 2008, and has the PC in any form of exhibition, run at you. The reversals have also been snubbed upon as I’m a casual like gamer, turning the difficulty level down a notch but continues to play as you unsaved your settings and reverts to an even more devastating challenge to play through. The move sets have been edited terribly. Billie Kay having Zelina Vega’s default moves, the LACK of moves, and the production of the moves. Appear as if the comparison to an old ‘SmackDown vs Raw’ game tailors with it’s sped up animation and it’s horrendous points from a designated standpoint in 2019. The game also copies and pastes Universe Mode from last year’s terrible representation of what WWE 2K17 and WWE 2K18 had brung. And even spoils the quality of the sound regimen of a show load, playing the theme song for a show, but in Play turns the volume off as it’s delicate entertainment while a match is loading. 2K showcase offers one of the most mind numbly boring experiences the game has to offer, as the acting and the documentary representation is SO LOW ENERGY. The gameplay as stated doesn’t have the ability to adjust whatever the hell they were trying to build. Honestly, it doesn’t feel finished, it feels as if it’s in its quarter of development. The blood and sweat in a match do seem to entice the realism but with the unmatched controls which had changed for a worsen simulation mechanic, gathered with the god awful gameplay. Gives me NO CHANCE IN HELLLL. To buy or yet preorder another game from 2K. As I spent $95 of hard earned money to receive the bare minimum of what ‘development’ really fortunes........Also with the likes of me preordering the game. I was to receive ‘The Fiend, Bray Wyatt’ but IT’S NOT AVAILABLE DUE TO BUG REINFORCEMENTS THE SAME REASON CREATE A CHAMPIONSHIP WAS REMOVED...
