![]() For the first time, you can create both a male and female Superstar that will be playable in the M圜areer story, Road to Glory, and the other online modes. Since women’s wrestling is being showcased with WWE 2K20, it only makes sense for this year’s M圜areer modes to do the same. It just would have been nice to have known that these hints were available in the first place. Once I found out there were hints available, the matches became more enjoyable. There are so many wrestlers in this game to expect someone to just know how to do a specific move with one of the many wrestlers is a bit ridiculous. That way you are not wasting your time trying to figure out something so simple. "If there is anything to praise about this game it is the creation tools."įor some of the easier grapples, like the aforementioned Backpack Stunner, it would be nice if they put the button combination with the objective in the corner of the screen. What the game doesn’t tell you is that you can go to “Match Objectives” in the pause menu and it will actually give you hints and tips on how to complete every objective. If you were unfamiliar with specific wrestling moves, you would either randomly figure it out or be stuck in the match for way too long until you inevitably lose or quit. For the most part, it is pretty straightforward until it asks to perform a specific grapple or submission without any indication of how to execute that move.įor example, about a quarter through the first 2K Showcase match with Charlotte and Natalya, it asks you to do a Backpack Stunner. As you complete these tasks, cutscenes will play during iconic moments of those matches. What isn’t so great is the objective-based gameplay.Īs you play through any of these matches, you will have to complete a list of objectives to finish the match. Charlotte Flair at Evolution, are great and do represent the past 5 years of women’s wrestling in the WWE pretty well. Sasha Banks at NXT TakeOver Brooklyn and Becky Lynch vs. Just like preview 2K Showcase modes, the matches are loose recreations of actual matches that are supposed to exemplify the subject at hand, which is the Four Horsewomen in this case. These four, along with just about every women’s wrestler in the WWE, did actually revolutionize sports entertainment, and they deserve to be in the limelight. While I think last year’s iteration would have been more timely, especially with the Evolution PPV and the plethora of firsts that happened in the year prior to that, it’s great to see the “Women’s Revolution” be represented in a video game. This year’s 2K Showcase puts the Four Horsewomen - Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, Sasha Banks, and Becky Lynch - into the spotlight. That includes the gameplay of M圜areer, 2K Showcase, 2K Towers, and online. Just know that they hinder just about every aspect of the game. If I did, I would just be beating a dead horse. ![]() Unfortunately, it gets buried like “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt did at Hell in a Cell because of WWE 2K20’ s technical problems.įor the rest of the review, I’m not really going to talk about the technical problems anymore. This only makes everyone involved with WWE 2K20 look bad, and it’s a shame because the ideas behind the features and changes are really great and some of the best the series has ever offered. " is just as messy as its real-life counterparts, albeit, for different reasons." With Yuke’s, the series’ former primary developer having just left this year, why not take a year to really rebuild the game and bring Visual Concepts’ vision of the game to life? To launch a game so technically flawed is such a questionable decision to make. It is almost unbelievable the state WWE 2K20 has been released in. Say what you will about WWE 2K19, but it worked as intended. ![]() On a technical level, Visual Concepts' first lone outing is a mess. You’ve probably seen all the wild glitches and bugs WWE 2K20 has to offer, and they are even more ridiculous and hilarious when you actually experience them in-game. Now, we add the cherry on top with WWE 2K20, a game that is just as messy as its real-life counterparts, albeit, for different reasons. Then we have PPV’s like Hell in a Cell that buries one of the most exciting Superstars that WWE has right now. ![]() Yet, it is scheduled on Wednesday night at the same time as AEW Dynamite, maybe the biggest wrestling show in the world right now. Then there is NXT, the show that wrestling fans seem to like. ![]() The company’s flagship shows, Raw and SmackDown, are the worst they have been in a while. ![]()
