Top tip 2K: Just because Nintendo can get away with selling the same game twice with Pokémon, it doesn’t mean that such an idea is going to work well when transitioned to wrasslin’.Īnd that’s not even mentioning how players skills and attributes function this year. Provided that you’re willing to start a new career as a 24/7 WWE 2K20 peasant, as every item is ridiculously priced while the Virtual Coin reward for winning a match is miserly at best as you split your earnings on two characters in the career mode. Said gear is also restrictive, but you can use your Virtual Coins to buy individual items. Character progression doesn’t fare much better either, as you work your way up from a high school scrub to superstar status, earning unlockable items via loot boxes that prove that RNGesus truly does hate you. There are 18 chapters of this checklist career mode to sift through, and by the end of it all I was contemplating if a career switch to a professional UFC punching bag would be better. It’s a transmission of cringe beams straight to your eyeballs, as newcomers Red and Tre vomit an unending series of threats that wouldn’t work on a toddler and dad joke quips that never ever hit the mark. While the story mode may feature a roster packed with some of the greatest icons and current day performers in WWE history, that’s about the only positive thing that can be said about this year’s narrative. This year, WWE 2K20 shines a light on two new potential superstars working their way up the ranks with all the subtlety of a BitCoin miner defending cryptocurrencies as anything but a scam. WWE 2K19’s stab at working your way up from indie darling to Wrestlemania main eventer may have been cheesy, but it was never boring. Take this year’s M圜areer mode for example. Here is a game, which is an absolute rut and offers nothing of substance to shake up the sports entertainment formula that 2K Games have been using for years now. You might be thinking that such problems can be fixed with a few patches and you’d be one hundred percent right, but WWE 2K20’s woes extend even further beyond the surface-meme territory. I’ve seen the ring ropes suffer LSD seizures, watched character models explode with jitters as if they were muscle-spasm jitters and watched Schrodinger’s ladder phase out of existence. In my own sessions, I’ve had faces forget that they’re not supposed to haunt my every waking moment when the flesh on Becky Lynch spontaneously vanishes in the worst remake of Hollow man yet. You’ve probably seen a bunch of these moments captured for all prosperity on YouTube, and let me tell you something: It’s all true. WWE 2K20 plays like a dog’s dying moments in a cement mixer, hamstrung by a series of glitches and bugs that half-arse the action, half-arse it further and end up being a whole-arse of non-fun. It’s the equivalent of Triple H dressed up as Kane while romancing a corpse, the grand flop-entrance of the Shockmaster and the baffling idea to have Gene Snitsky transformed into a baby-kicker, all rolled-up into one inglorious mess of a game.Īnything that can go wrong, does go wrong. With Yukes gone and the reigns handed over entirely to 2K’s team at Visual Concepts, you’d expect some growing pains to be present but this year’s sweaty man-mountain simulator goes above and beyond that phrase. 2K Games may not have reached the same highs of craftsmanship with the WWE series that THQ did with the glorious Smackdown vs RAW games of years past, but with Yukes at their side you could at least count on an annual slice of pantomime murder theatre being competent. It is an entire thesaurus worth of negative descriptors, a step so far backwards that you’d think Andre the Giant was attempting moonwalk his way out of this mess. Let’s not mince words here: WWE 2K20 is bad.
