I tried give me this game the benefit of the doubt, but it really wasn't as fun as I thought it would be.

a let down
prs9822 October 2019
Coming from 2k19 which i really liked and it felt like a step into the right direction but this game really downgraded itself from last year's game in almost everything.
some of the face models such as molly holly, mucho man, the rock, randy orton, becky lynch (and she's the freaking cover star) look really awful and some other like rhea ripley, jerry lawler and some more look really good, it's just so wierd and also the hair physics are even worse than 2k15.
the universe mode is literally the same with some added cutscenes and more matches in one show and that's it, the 2k originals are more weirdness that 2k19 started and it's just normal matches in different arenas that you can't interact with and you can't even unlock to play with so that's another waste, the showcase is fine but just like last year we all knew daniel bryan's story so what's the point of playing it, my career is the best part of this whole thing just like last year except some dialog issues and some hilarious writing.
as a whole the game is just ok definitely a step down from last year, if they patch the hit detection which is very awkward at the time, the gameplay will be good it's also slower than 2k19 but it's not like the game is a disaster it's still playable and they added a cool customization for the weapons, like i said you can have fun with the game but just like evey year you will eventually get tired of it after 1 or 2 months.

The movement is real, even in video games!

Warning: Spoilers
Played My Career Mode and you are stuck playing with a beta male who loses and clueless without a backbone. The story line humiliates him in all ways that it's obviously it's an attack on heterosexual males. His matches are arranged where he is not allowed to win at all because of game play. The female side, she is strong and lead the way. The story line doesn't advance unless you win all her matches. She guides him and tell him how to make it in life. There are no skip button so you are stuck listening to the corny story lines that you wish it would end before it starts.
The loading time sucks!
The only good thing about this game is the control movement. The best I've seen in years.

This game was thrown out the door without any testing whatsoever.
the amount of glitches and game breaking bug's defies belief.
add to that the downgraded graphics and missing game modes = somebody deserves a slap for charging £60 for this swill.
Get a refund.

This game is single handedly saved my marriage, cured my alcoholism, and brought my mother back from the dead. I no longer have to beat my children to make them play video games with me. Because this game kills them anyways.
Here comes the pain

I've known worse games whilst it isn't perfect it can be tolerated. Most of what is wrong with this is the mechanic's, the control system really is awful not to mention the consistent level of glitches throughout. Whatever happened to the L2/R2 reversal system they had in the first place. If it isn't broke don't fix it! Much like everything else these days the story mode highlights female empowerment, but not in a good way! This story almost goes full circle in the opposite direction of misandry; constantly making the male character out to be a buffoon amongst the weakest of wrestlers in history. I liked the idea of creating a male and female character for the story line, however I can't help feeling they could have capitalised with this as a power couple story line. On a positive note this game ensembles the very best roster in wrestling video game history and although frustrating; playable with a variety of modes. It also has multiplayer online access much like previous instalments! This is the first WWE game i had played since 2k14 so I came in with an open mind whilst expecting a vast improvement in them six years. Not much had changed except the games have become less fluent with their in ring grapple system. The online is awful because it's so hit and miss with lag, possibly one of the worst servers for online gaming in recent memory especially with a game reliant on a metre kick out system. If rocket league manages a good server so should this, no excuses available. Previous outings allowed you to put titles up for grabs with a history of your online win/lose record. Without these minor things online feels like playing loads of exhibitions with no purpose. It's gonna be hard to come back from this one no wonder wwe are delaying further instalments till 2k22.
