WWE 2K20: 8 reasons we still love the WWE 2K games

#1 The games are still lots of fun

Yes, there are plenty of things we'd like to see from the WWE 2K games added or changed. There are elements from previous games we wish they'd bring back. There are elements that are frustrating that seem to be left in year after year that never seem to be fixed.

Sorry, I forgot where I was going with this. Just kidding.

At it's core, though, the games still control really well and are still lots of fun to play. And, the team and 2K and Yuke's do actually listen to fan feedback.

When it was noted that placing the ladder under the briefcase in ladder matches got too complicated, they changed the mechanics of it the next year and it works really well now. When triple threat and other multi-wrestler matches became a little too difficult for anybody to win, they added some new elements to balance them out.

As mentioned, their release schedule has got to make it difficult to make major changes to the game, but they can still make incremental adjustments to improve the game year after year. That doesn't go unnoticed by us.The game still controls well, isn't terribly difficult to figure out how to play and, once you do, becomes second nature after just a few minutes.

The expanding roster each year is also a great touch. Including more legends and NXT Superstars make the games more exciting - I remember the first times being able to play as Finn Balor or Shinsuke Nakamura (two of my favorites) when they were first in the Yellow Brand, thinking I was going to have to wait for so long until they got "called up". Being able to wrestle as all the different versions of Sting that I remembered from my childhood. And being able to create an idealized wrestling version of yourself to take them on in the ring? That beats all right there.

No... not the "yourself" from this game

The most important thing is this: it's a WWE game, and that means lots of people are going to buy it year after year, regardless of quality. We're fortunate (and appreciative) that 2K and Yuke's still put a lot of effort into these every year, and make them as great as they can with the time they have. Of course, they're not perfect, but they're still a lot of fun to play and as long as they are, we'll keep playing them.

Bring on WWE 2K20, guys. We're ready.
