… ExpandĪs my first foray into the world of WWE games post THQ, I really didn't know what to expect. If you are a hardcore fan then the score doesn't really matter because you'll drooling over the Spiral tap of AJ Styles, the taunts of Shinsuke Nakamura, and the upcoming future stars and wrestling mark favourites, the Perfect 10, Austin Aries and the Bullet Club. But if you are none of those things, then my score for you is a 6 outta 10, because this isn't the game for you, it's really for the hardcore fans. I give this game 8 outta 10 for effort, because I'm a dirty mark and sick guy. Goldberg plays really well, and the NXT pack is essential for having a near complete roster of today's WWE. However if you want some good looking rasslin, wait for this game to be on sale, and I recommend getting the season pass and Goldberg and NXT pack.
It's very glitchy, lot of bugs, since launch 4 patches were released, but even though they fix a lot, there are still many bugs left, and unfortunately new bugs are introduced with every patch that they have to fix later. I will say their business policy is not really consumer friendly, all the dlcs, and current loved stars like Shinsuke are held hostage behind a pay-wall, and the state of the game. I get those games are fantastic, but they are 10+ years old, and this is what you have now. However if you are fan of the old games, like Here Comes the Pain or No mercy, then you'll probably not enjoy yourself. They all have very unique move-sets and you can tell the devs put time into researching their move-sets. If you are a fan of either AJ Styles, or Shinsuke Nakamura, then you'll love this game. However if you are fan of the old games, like Here Comes the Pain or No mercy, then If you are a wrestling fan of the modern age, I absolutely recommend this game. WWE 2K17 is scheduled for release on October 11 on PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One.If you are a wrestling fan of the modern age, I absolutely recommend this game. However, we can ensure the WWE 2K17 roster will be the largest to date and encourage you to continue checking out official roster reveals each week – as part of the Suplex City Census – on IGN." While it seemed that we'd see up to 150 wrestlers, 2K hopped over to the forums to say that, "The 150 number was part of early development coding on our interactive map and is not representative of the final roster list. Lastly, there has been some clarification on the roster. M圜areer features the new Promo Engine that will have wrestlers calling out or responding to other "WWE Superstars," while backstage brawl gameplay adds to the atmosphere.
The Universe mode aims to recreate the drama of the weekly shows, so that "players feel like they are playing through a weekly episode of any WWE television or WWE Network program." They've also thrown in pre- and post-match attacks and run-ins, to increase the TV show vibe. "In all, we didn’t feel good about creating a Showcase that was not up to our standards and current development vision, so we decided to take that effort and put it into modes our community requests we keep improving: WWE Universe and M圜areer." "One of the largest and most difficult decisions we made for WWE 2K17 was to forego building a 2K Showcase," executive producer Mark Little wrote in a recent update. WWE 2K17 is going to be somewhat different to the previous titles in the series, as 2K Games detail the changes in store for the new title.
Plus the game will have the largest roster to date.
