WWE 2K20: 10 Biggest Innovations We Need To See

4. Complete Freedom Over Camera Angles

2K19 lets players pause the action and enter a 'Highlight Reel' editing suite. This is handy for picking replay clips from your matches and making highlight videos or trons with them. The suite boasts nine different camera angles, meaning that big finishing move won't be hiding behind another wrestler's body, or something like that.

Those nine angles should be playable.

2K's desire to replicate WWE's television product is admirable, but it's not always for the best. This is a video game, after all, and it shouldn't be tied down to the same rules Kevin Dunn dishes out to his production team before episodes of Raw and SmackDown. In gaming land, being able to control the camera has become law.

2K20 should let us either use the presets in the 'Highlight Reel' mode or enable a free-cam option that lets players put the hard camera wherever they like it. If we want to see what fans in the cheap seats are seeing or sit front row, then we should be able to do that by now.
