WWE 2K21: 10 Improvements It Must Make On 2K20

5. Proper Context For Announcers

Check out how bored Michael Cole looks in the screenshot above. It'd be easy to write 10,000 words on this alone. Is he reeling after some scathing feedback from Vince McMahon over the headset? Is the action in the ring awful? Has he left the oven on at home? Or, has he incorrectly called Braun Strowman "she"?

Probably the latter.

The commentary team and ring announcers in 2K20 are rib-happy. They seem to delight in deliberately calling talent by the wrong names, assuming their genders in the most horrendous way imaginable, getting championship belts wrong and generally wreaking havoc on the presentation. It's a contextual nightmare.

These are fundamental errors in the coding that 2K should've figured out by now. Of all the problems that could've cropped up without Yuke's there to play cleaner, Corey Graves referring to Charlotte Flair as Roman Reigns isn't one anyone expected.
