The game is close to being a 4-star title, but it falls short in several areas. The gameplay is smooth and easy to learn, but the combo system, Irish whips, pin system, and other nuances make it difficult to play online. Executing moves requires combos, limiting the move selection and making matches feel repetitive. WWE 2K19 offered a better experience in this regard.
The Showcase mode is disappointing until the end, and the Universe, MyGM, and MyRISE modes need significant improvements. MyRISE is enjoyable but poorly produced.
Despite these issues, the game offers several quality-of-life additions, including new and returning modes, match types, and features such as multi-person dives, object throwing, special guest referees, ladder matches with two belts, and casket matches.
However, the game lacks a Road to WrestleMania mode, a season mode, create-a-finisher, and story creation features. These omissions prevent the game from reaching its full potential.
If 2k is reading this. Please switch the gameplay back to 2k14, 2k19 style. It was better for online matches. When i do a move my wreslter keeps his hands in a fighting stance. Its awkward keep it like wwe TV please
