WWE 2K20: 10 Reasons To Be Worried
8. Mixed Match Challenge Is Being Touted As Major
This year, if you so wish, you'll be able to tag any male wrestler with a fellow female wrestler and play out mixed tag-team matches. This is a nice addition for sure, but it's not quite as major as 2K would like fans to believe. Their promotion of the match type makes it sound much grander than it is.
It's a stip with limited appeal, not a sweeping new game-altering feature.
Longtime fans would much rather have Casket bouts, a new Hell In A Cell dynamic or something totally out-there like Buried Alive. Sure, the death-bringing connotations of at least two of those match types could be problematic, but that's a feeble argument when kids mow down endless streams of bloody, bullet-ridden saps with guns in games without blinking. It's unlikely that a digitised Braun Strowman stuffing Elias into a coffin would cause irreparable mental scarring.
It's concerning that 2K believe a rudimentary feature such as MMC deserves to be branded as must see when it can't hope to live up to their hype. After a few mixed tags, it'll become clear that these are just bland re-skins of the regular bouts people have been playing for decades.
