WWE 2K20: 10 Biggest Fears Hardcore Fans Have

6. Model Quality Downscales Quickly

Expect this year's Becky Lynch character model to be 10x better than it was in 2K19. After all, 'The Man' has blossomed into one of WWE's biggest players, and that means it's hard to envision the same pasty-faced, barely-recognisable figure in 2K20. She'll have more pixels than some of the lower card combined.

Therein lies the problem.

Outside the top bracket of star names, 2K's character models vary in quality. Last year, setting up a match between Roman Reigns and Tyler Bate felt like putting the 'Big Dog' in there with a low-rent CAW. There were Bate models in Community Creations that looked more like the real deal, and that's just sad.

This disparity in character quality is a fan nightmare. What use is playing as those on the lower end of the roster if they barely resemble their real-life counterparts? It's an immersion-shattering exercise, one 2K struggle with. Building painstaking digital models of everyone in an age when bulging roster numbers matter to fans can't be simple.
