Holds and submissions actually felt like such and not just two giant planks of wood kinda, sorta forming around someone's leg or torso, and the more life-like animation was definitely welcome. Aside from the odd flailing bottom rope (which happened a few times when someone's feet hit it after a suplex), the visuals in the ring were stellar, and the animations overall were much improved from 2Ks past. That increased scrutiny is really more about the entrances, as in the ring, I had no issues with the visuals. Superstars like The Rock, John Cena, Dusty Rhodes, Randy Savage, Edge, Molly Holly, and others are just not up to the standards of the current roster, though there are a few standouts like Eddie Guerrero, Stone Cold, and Trish Stratus. Legends are another thing entirely, and you can really tell who had a face scan and who didn't. There are some that stand out for the wrong reasons, of course, like Peyton Royce and Bobby Lashley, but for the most part, the superstars look good. The good news is that most of the current roster superstars from Raw, SmackDown, and NXT are quite good, with standouts being AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, & Toni Storm, to name a few. None of that matters if the superstars you're controlling and fighting against aren't up to par. Half the fun of a wrestling match is the chess move aspect, slowly figuring out how to maneuver and push your opponent into the place you need them to be for a big spot or move, and in the past, that always felt more like you lucked out than any sort of skill or purposeful strategy. WWE 2K20 features a reworked control scheme that takes a second to learn but, once you do, will make you feel in control of your match like never before. You won't really see that until you step into the ring, but once you do, the steps forward start to slowly present themselves. ![]() Visually, the game takes a step forward in some aspects and backward in others, and at this point, you might be rightfully wondering what justifies a new purchase other than updated costumes, superstars, and a new Showcase mode. Towers are back, and the 2K Showcase mode features a deep dive into a superstar (or, in this case, multiple superstars) career. The reversal, pin, and submission systems are all intact, as are the My Universe, My Player, and My Career Modes. ![]() ![]() At first glance, there's actually not that much different about WWE 2K20 when compared to WWE 2K19.
