2K20 has been widely mocked by fans in the weeks leading up to its release due to the fact that the character models of the majority of the roster are outrageously sub-par.

Countless superstars scarcely resemble their real-life counterparts, somehow looking decidedly worse than last year's scans, and at times getting dangerously close to looking like PS3-era assets.

A big problem is the eyes: most of the wrestlers are locked into a perpetual death stare where they seem more like a body-snatcher approximation of a WWE superstar rather than an actual human being.

It doesn't help that facial animations are also uniformly awful and, even during the wrestling itself, movement is blanketed by a repulsive motion blur which makes everything look butt-ugly.

The WWE 2K games have always felt several years behind the times in the visual department - especially compared to 2K's other sports games - but this year that's taken to levels of near-parody.
