WWE 2K20 Early Wishlist: 10 Things Fans DEMAND

1. Commentary That Actually Works

Try this mini-experiment before reading on.

Fire up 2K19, start a match between Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman then palm your forehead repeatedly as Corey Graves and Byron Saxton get their genders wrong. Yes, they are assuming their genders by using lines like, "she really has to win this one, Cole" and, "she looks groggy".

Things worsen when they use the opposite ("he") to describe female superstars. This kind of thing shouldn't be happening in games released in 2018. It's unacceptably poor, ruins the immersion levels of each match and furthers conspiracy theories that WWE gaming consciously delivers terrible commentary.

In 2K20, this is one of the first presentation flaws that must be fixed. Hearing announcing that actually works, fits the context of what's happening on screen and doesn't awkwardly veer off into the distance for no reason is the least fans should get.

Please, 2K, spend some time listening to commentary in other sporty games and realise how much yours sucks.
