WWE 2K20: 10 Reasons To Be Worried
5. There's No Fix For The Series' Stale Gameplay?
2K's official website offers up a tantalising tease on the main 2K20 game page. It says, "WWE 2K20 will feature key gameplay improvements", before going on about how controls have been streamlined and explaining that this will be "the most fun and creatively expansive entry in the franchise to date".
Click the 'Learn More' button for further info though and you'll be met with radio silence, at least on the first point.
There's absolutely no news on what these "key gameplay improvements" are. Info is there on the women's Showcase, new Towers, 2K Originals and more, but there's little in the way of detail when it comes to the actual core gameplay itself. This could hint that 2K will tweak one or two minor things and leave it at that.
It also suggests that 2K20's gameplay will be almost exactly the same as 2K19's. This is worrying for multiple reasons, not least because 2K's formula has become stale, uninviting and clunky over the years. A genuine overhaul from the ground up has been required since 2K14, and it won't be coming this year either.
