Im assuming this years roster will be smaller than last years since they havent pulled out the biggest roster ever tagline this year that was 252 including alts after all DLC was said and done, im guessing ignoring alternates this year we end up in the 160 range, we at least are getting a few new people since cross and humberto are confirmed, you can assume anyone in AEW is out so goldust ambrose and jericho are definitely gone as are gold aj styles 5 of the daniel bryans the extra bray poo poo like that

Correction to my previous number we are at 83 confirmed so far for this year if you include the dlc that have already been confirmed such as frankenstrowman and fed up sheamus

I'm sure most of the roster is exactly the same, I'm just wonder what new wrestlers there are that either should have been in last year or are debuting this year. I didn't know about Humberto. It will be really funny if Trent Seven isnt in WWE 2k20 again

This Saturday our 9th Special Event, called DETERMINATION, will take place.

In our Main Event Malfest Goat-Monster challenges Pantha for the Hellweight Title after winning the Showdown Tournament in impressive fashion and even getting a shock victory over the legendary VACANT.

Speaking of beating VACANT: Only one person can get a shot at the Hellweight title on this show but EGO also managed to beat VACANT. So EGO will do battle with Fomore who is clawing their way into the title picture on an effort to become the first Quadruple Crown champion.

With Freddie Hope's match against Flamander not happening for another four weeks he postpones his training at the Old Dojo for a little warm up against the entirety of the oRa 66. But not without the help of the Young Devils he's been training.

Meanwhile, Flamander continues to hold the Bunny Championship :3 heading into his fourth defense against none other than Roy, who defended the Title four times before he lost it.

On a lighter note: Our Seven Deadly Pins match this time is all Hosses. The Battle of Hoss Angeles... or Hoss Diavolos, I dunno. Eight pieces of beef slapping together repeatedly.

Confirmed new, not including the alt attires in the DLC are The Fiend(dlc), Buddy Murphy, Chyna (deluxe/Smackdown edition DLC), Hulk Hogan (deluxe/smackdown edition DLC), Mankind (D/SD EDITION), Nikki Cross, Humberto, There are also 2 characters in the 1st real DLC that are as of yet unconfirmed which might be surprises for the game

Heres the Tweet confirming Andrade and Humberto...gotta love that the clipping of the pants here is the best pic they could find to show

Hopefully this year we can actually use the unique venues (if any) from Story mode. Last year there were knockoff versions of Hammerstein, Tokyo Dome and a Mexican flea market and I couldn't use one in Universe mode. They even had a High School Parking Lot venue that was perfect for the northeast indie scum promotion I make every year.

Oh I see that they still have all the wrestlers in a neutral pose again, even though they literally have a hundreds of pre made menu screen poses and an editor for them.

They have "new streamlined controls" this year, whatever that means, which reminds me of the time the Applebee's waitress told me they have "new meat."

Seriously I liked 2K19, but I probably only engaged with 10% of the game (creation modes, exhibition Reversal Festivals against the AI). A lot of the modes seem really barebones. I'm used to the controls out of habit (I think they've kept them the same since whichever one of these I bought for 360?) but there are some janky match types like HIAC, some janky moments where your wrestler turns like a big rig etc

I appreciate how Universe mode makes the wrestlers look how I imagine they all feel inside.


Man, is it Thursday already? Last week was a huge show featuring two tag teams breaking up and a skeleton invasion. I don't know how much of that is going to matter this week because a hurricane is rolling through and talent and fans alike are unable to make it to the W.A.V.E. Pool. Like 6 wrestlers showed up, so idk what we're gonna do. Come watch and find out.

They made a lot of pretty positive tweaks to Universe Mode last year so I'm not surprised this isn't a big overhaul but there is literally not one major change/improvement here. Some things actually seem worse, like rivalries spontaneously ending after one match.

Universe Mode is where I tend to spend most of my time in these games and it's frustrating when they let that feature stagnate for things that no one asked for.

Maybe "streamlined controls" means I can finally kick out of a pin. I've been trying to do it in every 2k game for like a decade and I can never pull it off. I've had epic matches in a Hell in a Cell where I throw Enzo off the drat thing five or six times and still eat a loving pin out of nowhere after maybe ten seconds of offense.

:psyduck: I see this complaint a lot and I literally can't picture it. At the start of a match the zone you need to stop the meter in is like half the circle. Like, you basically just have to hit the button.

Pins were still poo poo.

Submissions were abysmal, though. Whether you had the dumb circle thingy (which is ugh) or the bit where you have to mash a specific button.

But since streamlined controls seem to be on the list of features every year I'm just gonna guess nothing changes anyway. Especially not with the million dumb minigames.

Somehow, I get the feeling, that wrestling games were just more fun when the secret to kicking out of pins or breaking away from submissions may or may not have been mashing all the buttons. You just didn't know because there was no UI to indicate it, but it made you feel like you were struggling for something, not against the game's weird minigame.
