WWE 2K20

Nope. They just somehow managed to make the hair look even worse this year.

This is a potential horrifying glitch in the blood system.

He looks strangely happy that someone has taken a machete to his face, at least.

Those Yukes people were pretty darn important, eh? 

[Arjen Robben]

I thought the stuff these Visual Concepts guys did was more akin to that 2K19 Cena? Judging from NBA games at least. Very confusing.

[Hellraiser]

As far as I know Visual Concepts never developed the games themselves. Yuke's has done that since the first game in the series. According to Wikipedia they are credited with "assisting" Yuke's since WWE 2K14. Whatever that means. Judging by how this years game looks it didn't really prepare them to handle the development themselves. 

[Arjen Robben]

Yeah but I mean Visual Concepts do the NBA games and those don't look like shit, they look good, what the fuck happened here if that same company is churning out PS2 level garbage like this?

[Meacon Keaton]

NBA 2k is more of a moneymaker than WWE 2k, so they prioritized would be my guess. 

[Your Mom]

Wasn't 2K garbage and full of glitches this year though? The NBA one I mean

[Lineker]

Can't wait for the first official statement from them and/or WWE as to why it looks like such shit. Expecting some wonderfully inventive excuses!

It’s Bischoff’s fault.

I've watched a few videos and it doesn't look quite so bad. If you actually customize the My Career characters they can look pretty nice. The bully NPC's are forever janky though. I'm not seeing any huge glitches like hair and clothes going missing. 

[Kaney]

🤔

[=BK=]

Yeah I saw that days ago but I've not seen it occur in any of these long play early looks. 

[Your Mom]

I can't wait until this train wreck shows up at my house. I feel like I'm going to be pleasantly surprised when it's actually not as bad as it looks but I mean even if it is that can be fun too

[The Buscher]

I don’t know if 2k’s exclusive WWE license or EA’s exclusive NFL license bothers me more.  No incentive for either party to do anything but put out a barely updated, glitch-ridden game every year because they continue to sell enough to turn a profit.

I wouldn't think there would be a market for it but it would be really interesting if 2 different companies could make WWE games

Competition really does drive improvement so it would be good.

FIFA got very lazy but then ISS Pro became Pro Evolution Soccer and became the better game for a run of years and FIFA had to push on and improve, which it did.

But then Pro Evo started going wrong, FIFA "won" the war and then got lazy focusing on the card packs and so on.

There really hasn't been any competition for the WWE 2K series since it went cross-platform, has it? There was the TNA game which was a flawed but a solid foundation to build upon. But they never released a sequel. And then there was the AAA game. But I don't think that was ever released outside of North America and Mexico. And the Legends Of Wrestling series ended when Acclaim went bankrupt in 2004. 

But Yuke's are working on a new Wrestling IP and sooner or later AEW will probably try their hand at one as well.

Thought the belief was the Yukes project is a AEW game?
