From animations to count-outs, everything feels dated and full of glitches.
At times, certain opponents keep kicking out of the falls count even when they are injured and the health is depleted, and they do not have a stored comeback, resiliency or payback on their radar - until you hit your designated Finisher (even a Signature move won’t count). Targeting is even worse when you attempt to use a special weapon, e.g a steel chair, when your character will at times simply refuse to hit the target. Inside the ring, characters keep getting inexplicably stuck, chairs, tables and ladders magically disappear after breaking, referees encounter a strange glitch and slither around on their knees like an 8-bit sloth, commentators keep repeating the same statement no matter what you do, and even the crowd animation looks like they’re borrowed from FIFA 08.Ĭompounding these are gameplay frailties - opponent targeting is so off-radar that you keep missing punches and strikes even when you directly point at your in-ring rival. (Image: 2K Games)Īt the centre of this downhill slide are the million-odd glitches that the game has. Disproportionate limbs and characters are a regular presence in WWE 2K20. While these two elements meant that my tryst with the game went off to a reasonable start, it pretty much skid downhill since then. The two-character story has been around before as well, but if you’re playing this for the first time, 2K20’s story mode does pretty well to keep you engaged, at least for some time. Having been occasional to this franchise, I personally found the new control scheme more streamlined and easier to operate for first-timers and bit-part gamers. But, what WWE 2K20 has turned out to be is nothing short of shambolic.įor someone that does not play every WWE game every year, WWE 2K20 will seem pretty decent at the onset. When such a change happens, it isn’t unusual for a video game to go through a patchy one year. The annual video game rendition of the wrestling franchise has gone through a similar change of hands this year, after long-time developer Yuke departed to hand the reins over to Visual Concepts, while 2K Games retained its distribution rights. It will perhaps say something to write that WWE 2K20 is worse than the football that Manchester United has played, ever since Sir Alex Ferguson retired.
