I don’t know how many times I’ve smashed buttons to get my character up from the mat in WWE 2K games. However, one thing I wish the developers had done with finishing moves such as the RKO, spear or super kick is have your character automatically go into a pinfall attempt.Īlso, while maybe it’s a little odd to say, I love mashing the A/X button to recover after the CPU does a move on you. The specials and finishers are highly stylized, like Orton’s RKO takes his opponent very high up before crashing to the mat. I was pleasantly surprised to see this.Īnd to be honest, some of the crazy moves themselves are fun to do and see. Some of those animations look better than what WWE 2K has offered. I’m really talking more about the actual suplexes, DDTs and other more “basic” maneuvers. I’m not even necessarily talking about the over-the-top, 20-foot-high RKOs.

I was with everyone else who was disappointed last year with WWE 2K20.
