    This title does not even deserve a rating it is so bad.

    Where to start.. The graphics look like they are from 2001 not 2019, they have removed so many of the vertices's from the models that you can see the "squareness" of the faces, etc. Phasing happens often, characters disappear for frames in a sequence and than "reappear", this is not just happening to me as I saw many feeds on    This title does not even deserve a rating it is so bad.

    Where to start.. The graphics look like they are from 2001 not 2019, they have removed so many of the vertices's from the models that you can see the "squareness" of the faces, etc.

    Phasing happens often, characters disappear for frames in a sequence and than "reappear", this is not just happening to me as I saw many feeds on twitch stating the same thing.

    When you select a move.. more than 9 times out of ten the character will look for 2 -3 seconds as a marionette on a string moving around to get into a position that was rigged.

    Though the modes are good and some of the pre-show stuff is nice.. that in NO WAY makes up for the crap that they put in the box for this version. PASS.. PASS.. PASS on this title. If there is a way to get your money back do so!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Where do I even begin on this "game?" The graphics slug way behind, even compared to the first game in the next-gen line up. It honestly looks like the models are only rough drafts and no time or polish went into them. The lack of day one patch is upsetting and unnerving. The game is glitchy and crashes F R E Q U E N T L Y . The control scheme change this year was completely unnecessary. Years of muscle memory have robbed me of joy because I have to learn this whole new system. Story mode is completely unplayable to me, as I can't even keep a connection to the servers (can still play 2K19 no problem,) and the game resets on me, losing many valuable hours due to it. They offer a preorder bonus that's not even available at launch, and you expect people to follow you on twitter to find out when we can access the locked menu option. I honestly feel like this game is not even worth a full retail price let alone the $130.00 I spent on the Digital "DeLuXe" version.

    -I hate the 2kTowers so I wont rate them here. Wouldnt be fair, i´ve always hated them

    Fiend DLC:
    I also wanna note that holding back the Fiend release so people won´t return the game is a pretty shameless move as well.
    This is one shameless cashgrab after the other. Also the Fiends Eyes are the wrong color. I´d expect more from a base game, but for a dlc - it´s ridiculous.

    Conclusion: This game as is isn´t even worth 15 Dollars. If they fix all the bugs (which they probably won´t) I´d up that to 30 Dollars including the DLC. Not a Cent more. Boy was I a moron for preordering this.

    (Don´t get your sympathies up for this developer, Jukes leaving was pretty horrible for them, but They still released it and charged full price for it, so my critique is the same if this were any other game.)    … Expand

Now it doesn't help that the game isn't the most graphically impressive, but sometimes I can get over that, what I can't get over, is a game that I just can't play, especially, when it comes to custom characters. Again, I have no idea if other people run into this issue, but anytime I attempt to hop into the entrance creator, I get stuck into an infinite loading screen, and no matter how many times I restart, it never fixes. There's not just that, but I can't even play a match with a custom character, the same thing happens, the loading screen for the match is infinite, and never even gets to the entrances. You add to this, the amount of glitches we've already seen, and the very big lack of a day one patch from 2k, it just makes this game awful, and it desperately needs to be fixed, and fast. Of course, 2k19 had similar issues, and those were luckily fixed with patches and made the game actually enjoyable, so I can only sit here and hope that patches come out to make this game not just enjoyable, but playable, I feel at this point, I'm gonna have to uninstall this game and reinstall it, to see if that potentially fixes anything, but chances are, I'll even be out of luck there. I feel ashamed to have actually spent $60 on this shipwreck of a WWE game, and if it doesn't get fixed soon, I may just have to skip out on 2k21 whenever that comes out a year from now. Please 2k....just fix your game, for all of us that are fans of the WWE franchise, fix it, or else we're gonna have to spend our whole time with this game, begging, and praying for THQ to come back to save us.… Expand

    I simply have to say, in this day and age, how...how, can a company as big as 2k games not compensate for a new year? On January 1st, at midnight (probably EST because I attempted to play it on 8:11pm PST) the game ceased to work.

This may have been for everyone, but at least enough people had this issue happen, I was one of them. The "fix" that came out early in the morning was to "roll your system clock back to 2019." Are you kidding me? You literally had a Y2K glitch happen with your game, where when the clock ticks over to a new year, the game becomes unplayable.

    Never mind the glitches that are still happening. Never mind the graphics issues that are still happening, your coding literally stopped working at midnight on 2020. I can certainly assume that there won't be a WWE 2K21, and even if there was, unless they gave it to us for free, there would be no reason I will purchase it.

    They continually ignore the fans who want some things that were in the previous games. However, they never supply it to us. The brand itself, both WWE and 2K, are becoming weak and producing media that no one wants.

    Now gameplay wise ive been reading constant bashing to the controls changes. I mean cmon theyre basically the same controls, Reversal with Y took sometime getting used to, but tbh I kinda like it better that way, same with the finishers.
    My Player history i liked. Same as before i've read about the complains of the PS2 graphics. And having played through the career I can say that i really enjoyed it. The story had me hooked and nods to last years career was a nice touch. Halfway through career mode I noticed a slight improvement in graphics, NPCs mouths moved while they talked, animation were more fluent. Guess they did that part first.
    Facials on the wrestlers are weird but the overall presentation I think its better looking. Hopefully today's patch fixes some of the issues to make it a better overall experience.    … Expand

    I really do love the 2K wrestling series, so I was extremely excited for this game. It just came up short. A few things that bother me so much with this game are:
    1. It bogs down when there is a lot going on on the screen.
    2. Took at belt customization (should be coming back, but I haven't see a confirmed date)
    3. Everything tied to the customization suite seems to not be working quite right.

    Ultimately, WWE 2K20 is the same old story of good ideas and bad execution. Having both female and male main characters in the MyCareer story mode is great. When presented alongside the "Four Horsewomen" mode/documentary, it shows 2K's commitment towards inclusivity. However, this is frequently undone by a plethora of bugs and glitches. In just a short amount of play-time, you're guaranteed to run into any number of them. Even if you can inexplicably manage to look past these problems, you're treated to original content that's also pretty flawed. Wrestling fans deserve better.
