Why Is WWE 2K20 So Bad?
Contents
Many people are wondering why WWE 2K20 is so bad. There are a number of reasons why the game is not up to par with other wrestling games.
WWE 2K20 is a buggy, unstable mess
WWE 2K20 is a buggy, unstable mess that furthers the 2K Sports franchise’s reputation for releasing substandard games. The game is plagued by server issues, crashes, graphical glitches, and gameplay problems. It’s clear that 2K Sports rushed WWE 2K20 to market without properly testing it, and as a result, the game is a disappointingly shoddy product.
The game is plagued by crashes and glitches
WWE 2K20 is a professional wrestling video game developed by Visual Concepts and published by 2K Sports. It was released on October 22, 2019, for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. It is the twenty-first game in the WWE games series (fifth under the WWE 2K banner), a sequel to WWE 2K19.
The game is plagued by crashes and glitches, which has resulted in poor reviews and a loyal fan base that is demanding refunds. The developers have promised to address these issues, but as of yet there has been no significant improvement.
One of the most glaring problems with WWE 2K20 is the fact that it seems to crash constantly. Whether you’re in the middle of a match or simply trying to access the main menu, it’s not uncommon for the game to suddenly close without any warning whatsoever. This is obviously a major problem that needs to be fixed as soon as possible.
In addition to crashes, WWE 2K20 is also plagued by a plethora of other bugs and glitches. For example, many players have reported that their create-a-wrestler characters are missing facial features or have distorted proportions. There are also issues with animations not playing properly, matches ending prematurely, and more. These problems make the game very difficult to enjoy, which is a shame given how good it could be otherwise.
The developers have promised to address these issues in future patches and updates, but as of right now there’s no telling when or if these fixes will actually be implemented. In the meantime, if you’re looking for a good wrestling game you’re better off waiting for WWE 2K20’s inevitable replacement.
The game’s A.I. is laughably bad
There are a number of problems with WWE 2K20, but the most glaring is the game’s A.I. is laughably bad. There are a number of reports of A.I. controlled characters just standing in place while matches happen around them, or quickly exiting the ring to reset themselves. In one case, two A.I. controlled characters were stuck in an infinite loop trying toIrish whip each other back and forth. These are just a few examples, but they all paint a picture of a game that is not ready for release.
The game lacks content
One of the main reasons why WWE 2K20 is so bad is because it lacks content. There are only a handful of game modes available, and most of them are either uninspired or poorly executed. The lack of content is especially glaring when you compare WWE 2K20 to its predecessor, WWE 2K19, which was packed with an impressive amount of game modes and other content.
Another issue with the game is that it’s plagued with bugs and glitches. These range from small visual glitches to major game-breaking bugs that can completely ruin your experience. The developers have released a few patches to try and fix these issues, but they haven’t been able to fix everything. As a result, many gamers have given up on the game completely.
Finally, the gameplay in WWE 2K20 is just not fun. It’s slow, clunky, and often feels more like a chore than an enjoyable experience. This is a huge disappointment for fans of the series who were hoping for a return to form after the lackluster WWE 2K19.
The create-a-wrestler mode is a mess
WWE 2K20’s create-a-wrestler mode is an absolute mess. There are so many limitations and missing features that it’s hard to even know where to start. First of all, the character creation options are extremely limited. You can only choose from a handful of preset heads, bodies, and attires, and there is no way to mix and match these elements to create your own unique wrestler. Secondly, the create-a-wrestler mode doesn’t allow you to select a finishing move or signature move for your character, which is a key part of what makes a wrestler feel like their own person. Lastly, the create-a-wrestler mode doesn’t allow you to save your progress, so if you make a mistake or want to change something about your character, you have to start all over from scratch. In short, WWE 2K20’s create-a-wrestler mode is a complete disaster.
The game is visually unappealing
WWE 2K20 is a demonstrably bad game. It’s not just that it’s ugly and glitchy, though it most certainly is those things. It’s that the game is an astonishingly poor effort from a company that has had ample opportunity to learn from its mistakes.
The game is visually unappealing, with players looking like they’ve been copied and pasted from previous games. The textures are muddy, the animations are stiff, and the character models are often laughable. And that’s just on a technical level; on a creative level, the game is equally uninspired. The arenas are generic and lifeless, the create-a-wrestler mode is lacklustre, and the new gameplay mechanics are rushed and half-baked.
It’s clear that WWE 2K20 was released before it was ready. The question is why? There are many possible explanations, but the most likely one is that 2K Games simply doesn’t care about the WWE franchise anymore. The series has been in decline for years now, and 2K seems content to go through the motions with each successive release. WWE 2K20 feels like a cash grab, an attempt to milk whatever money is left in the franchise before finally putting it out of its misery.
The game is a cash-grab
WWE 2K20 is a mess of a game, and it’s pretty clear that 2K Sports rushing it out the door to meet an annual release date was a mistake. The game is buggy, has major performance issues, and is missing a lot of key features that were in previous games. It’s also missing a lot of the polish that you would expect from a AAA game. All of these factors combine to make WWE 2K20 one of the worst games in the series, and one of the worst games of 2019.
