[Serious] How did WWE 2K19 get the reputation of being “too sim-style?”

I see this complaint a lot online, with many calling the game overrated for a multitude of reasons, whether it be the garbage that came after with 2K20 and hiatus after that, it was too niche and catered to the sim crowd, nostalgia, the list goes on and on.

My question for the people who share the opinion that the game is “too sim-style”, would you mind explaining how? I mean I listed multiple pictures above that aren’t in the vein of simulation, the gameplay wasn’t sim style at all compared to 2K15, and as a matter of fact the games since 22 are built on the same engine as 19, same animations and everything, just sped up and more clunky?
