    WWE 2k20 is a Wrestling, for lack of better terms, Simulator. WWE 2k20 is loaded with features and still comes up short in so many areas. First, let's look at the Fun! Create a Wrestler is an incredible mode, as always, and features so many options it would take hours to check them all out, giving players the ability to create almost anything the can imagine in a wrestler. The roster ofWWE 2k20 is a Wrestling, for lack of better terms, Simulator. WWE 2k20 is loaded with features and still comes up short in so many areas. First, let's look at the Fun! Create a Wrestler is an incredible mode, as always, and features so many options it would take hours to check them all out, giving players the ability to create almost anything the can imagine in a wrestler. The roster of combatants span over countless years of Profesional Wrestling history, bringing legends of the WCW and WWF back to the ring as playable characters. The Career mode makes you create both a Male and Female Wrestler, then places them in a 20-Hour story that is just as over-the-top as they can make it. I spent Hours laughing as my wrestlers' larger than life stories unfolded before me. Red and Trey (The nicknames your characters acquired in Highschool) have a hilarious background, and the story is set up as a collection of Flashbacks to their path to glory. Now, for the rest. The game itself feels a bit weak beside its predecessor, as targeting is haphazard at best. Your strikes don't always land as you'd expect them to, and it seems like countering is easiest done by anticipating the timing rather than relying on the in-game prompts. The graphics are obviously better over some of the scenes than others leaving you to wonder in the ring, where they went. Overall I found WWE 2k20 a fun experience, even with the oddities present in the game. If you're a fan of Wrestling old school or current, WWE 2k20 is loaded with references, and Cameos spanning over most of Wrestling history!… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game overall except for the story mode is great, I wish in the story mode that the cutscenes were shorter other than that the matches are great as well just way too many cutscenes… Expand

    I have played all of the WWE 2K games and compared to the others, this one is a bit underwhelming. The roster is good, however it is quite similar to 2K19. I really enjoy the controls in this game as it always feels fast paced. I play on legendary difficulty, but i win most of the time so it can be a bit too easy. Sometimes the game does run really slow and then gets back to a normal pace.I have played all of the WWE 2K games and compared to the others, this one is a bit underwhelming.

My final complaint is that some of the character models are not great, for some reason The Rock looks like Vin Diesel.

    Overall i am going to give this game a 6. It is fun but a couple of issues are annoying to deal with.    … Expand

    A sorry mess at the time of launch, but worth persisting with if you’re a series fan. [Issue#184, p.73]

    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.

    WWE 2K20 has good ideas as a whole and can amuse the most ardent fans of the saga, but its technical problems and its control do not finish working as previous releases.
