While I didn’t encounter quite the same level of problems as others did, there were still problems right away with the game. Much has been made of the glitches and yeah, they’re pretty alarming this year. It takes far too much time to get used to and really doesn’t save you much since glitches can prevent reversals from triggering and that goes for things like activating resiliency for instant kickouts as well. It’s now much trickier to move enemies around the ring on the mat and it takes more effort to do signatures and finishers as they’ve been shifted to the front bottom and left face buttons while OMG moments have been shifted to the right and top face buttons. It was done to ensure that there isn’t any input lag in doing the counter, but it winds up solving a problem that really hasn’t been an issue in the 15+ years of this mechanic being used and creating others. Visual Concepts opted to switch the reversal button from the right trigger to the top face button and this one single move completely changes all of the controls to work around this move. One of the biggest, and weirdest changes this year to the core action is the control scheme being revamped. The Roman Reigns tower in particular is a what-if scenario with famous rematches throughout his career and does a good job of capturing his WWE career in a single mode. As a result, they go from being things you would just cheese your way through to things you can actually have a lot of fun with. While none of them have a million dollar prize, they are a lot more fun thanks to the ability to just resume from your last lost match instead of having to start over from the beginning. Being able to customize each slot on the wheel for each character is great, but doesn’t do much without going through this mode to unlock different weapons.ĢK Towers are back and have been improved from last year’s entry. Despite things being in prior games like guitars, that fit current acts like Elias and possible DLC ones like Jeff Jarrett, there are no guitars – but there are cricket bats. Speaking of which, they definitely need to include the ability to skip cutscenes for at least rematches – especially when those are caused by things like glitches preventing kickouts from being executed as they should be.īeyond comedy, the best incentive to keep playing through the mode is all of the unlockable items for creation tools and weapons for the revamped weapon wheel that allow you to tailor things more. There’s also a great moment where the team has to rough it and need a car and sadly, they don’t go to King Haku’s used car lot or even stop by Tony Falk’s Waffles and Tire Irons for a meal – but there’s always next year. The story itself isn’t all that compelling, but does have some funny moments – like the team going to the Hart House and just expecting Bret Hart to train them out of nowhere and being told to leave by the house’s current owner or their trainer looking like every low-rent mid-’80s jobber who wore Zubaz on TV. You get a sense for their struggle, but the framing of the two protagonists as basically social outcasts is very Ready to Rumble-esque in execution when the idea is that they stood up to those who doubted them and overcame the odds. Setting things up as a flashback is a bit odd as you wind up finding out this pair of friends that you play as have already accomplished their lifelong goals – and then see them do it. You see their rise from being bullied at school to working indies, going to NXT, and the usual rise to the main roster, PPV matches, title wins, and eventual Hall of Fame induction. M圜areer is back with a dual-gender mode and a pretty unique premise of reliving the female character “Red” and the male character “Tray”’s careers in the past tense as Ronda Rousey sets up a hall of fame induction.

While the company has helped with consulting over the use of the franchise’s long-running issues, 2K20 is the most problem-ridden entry the series has ever seen when it comes to glitches and quality of life issues. 2K has listened to complaints and remedied that issue – but also run into some snags this year with the loss of long-time developers Yuke’s.
The recreation of many of Daniel Bryan’s greatest career moments alongside an original story mode that was fine and somewhat amusing, but hurt by a lack of female representation in the narrative.

While the highly-maligned series has gotten a lot of flak over the years, the fact remains that when it came to creating great matches from any era in a game, I wound up reaching for 2K19 over anything else – including another favorite of mine in Fire Pro Wrestling World. Last year’s WWE 2K19 provided some of the best wrestling action on the market.
