7 Worrying Signs That WWE 2K20 Will Be A Carbon Copy Of 2K19
Don't be surprised if 2K20 is just 2K19 with a fake moustache and a pair of oversized glasses.
We're all used to the curse of the annual video game sports title. You pick up your shiny new copy of this year's iteration of FIFA, Madden or NBA, just to find that it's practically exactly the same as last year bar a few new features and tweaks.
However, 2K's run at the WWE games has always felt vastly more disappointing than that. While the aforementioned annual sports games implement the newest teams and players as well as bring at least one big fan demanded feature to the forefront, the WWE games often deliver an already outdated experience that is burdened with the same issues and restrictions year in and year out.
They definitely have their bright spots, don't get me wrong, but there's a lot of features 2K need to bring to the game if they want to justify fans forking out full price for a new release. With WWE 2K20 almost here, it looks like the game is, unfortunately, shaping up to be a carbon copy of last year's title.
From a lack of gameplay footage to massive omissions from the game's roster, here are seven reasons you might want to keep hold of your copy of 2K19 for a little while longer.
7. No New Additions To The Creation Suite
One of the biggest draws of the WWE games has always been the creation suite, allowing players to customise everything from the wrestlers themselves to the rings, belts and shows. However, the number of options available to players in the creation suite used to be much wider.
WWE 2K14 allowed players to create finishers, design custom stories that were playable by friends and even add music that could be used for entrances. They made for near limitless creative potential, and fans have been demanding they return to the game for a while now, however, 2K have left the fan-favourite modes out of any of the series' next-generation releases.
While the newer games in the franchise have gradually added new aspects to the creation suite to make up for the fact that these demanded features wouldn't be making a comeback, WWE 2K20 is the first title in a while to have no big new addition to the creation suite at all.
With community creations being a major reason people keep playing the game all year, the lack of interesting new customisation options raises the question of why players should hop over to the new game? Personalisation has always been such a massive part of these titles after all, and with 2K19 having all the same options, WWE 2K20 already feels somewhat obsolete.
