2k14 had instant replays as pause replay review last minute replay badass

[TurkeysLeg]

I haven't played a wwe game since 2k14.. should I pick this up or wait till 2k18?

[averredanielian]

Can't complain about no dialog, the wwe schedule is brutal so i have heard.

[JayJoe]

it wouldnt be the easiest thing to do to get every single superstar to record lines for every promo option. Even if they did a generic voice, that voice would have to speak to someone else.

[Agumon]

Thank you for the review, I'll be skipping this game and hold off until 2018. Hopefully they have a better product by then.

[TTLOSF]

youre way too hard on it. the game is actually pretty good.

[sbj]

Wrestling games haven't been wrestling games since smackdown vs raw

[jellyjack]

there's always something to complain about even tho this game is close to perfect

[Darthyvader]

in last Gen or in the game in general the finisher moves are weak you win more faster winning cleanly, that's one of the things that bugs me the most, it takes away from an epic finish

[jayeechapman]

Three words UNIVERSE UNIVERSE UNIVERSE.

i am appalled at the fact i just bought 2k17 digi deluxe hoping the much important feature of putting custom music for caws and created divas. it blows my immersion and when i create my characters i select very carefully what entrance music  they will put on when they enter the ring.
custom videos are back since w13. this feature should have never ever been removed. i should point out the fact i bought w13 2k14 and 2k16 and now 17 because of the customization features that no other game really has available.  please note i have never watched wwe on tv but i enjoy the sportlike event like my hockey and honestly i could care less about the history about the wwe. if i want to learn more about that i would rather watch a documentary. i bought w13 14, 16 and 17 for universe mode. Yes please include the epic legacy of characters who have been a part of the wwe legacy and i want to make my own wwe history. Live through the moments that unfold in my timeline through my universe. i have never played 2k showcase and never will. If its necessary to do that make it a different game put all the effort into my career mode and universe mode.

i am getting very tired of continuously having to recreate my caws divas and redownload, wish they would put more effirt into creating a proper inport tool rewarding us for buying their full price game every single year for next to very marginal and subtle changes accross the board. i am happy that they did not put in showcase in 2k17. 
1. there should be a my career mode for a created diva.
2. custom enterance music.
3. UNIVERSE MODE MAKE IT MOST IMMERSIVE THAT IT CAN BE.
4. update the current build over time so that we can really go through an awesome legacy without having to pay full price for very little improvement.
5. creation app for 2k17 photos and logos.
6. generic options for music and animations.
7. mixed tag team mode its a game should be no restrictions.
8. i wish and hope the devs are willing to listen to the fans for the game we want not what they want. if i have to pay 124$ for a dig deluxe edition I should get what i want period.

there should be a funnel to the development team so we can help them make the game we want to see.  of there is no communication between us gamers and the devs then wer probably going to be disappointed we need to reach out so we can help them give us what we want.

[jonferris]

First year with the Promo Mode and your already complaining about it. Wait for next year, Junior.

[fireheartis]

Is it easier to kick out of a pin in this version, or is it that stupid thing you have to do in 2k16? I can't figure out how to kick out for the life of me.

[jayeechapman]

My career superstar or diva integrated into the universe mode

[llSasukell]

I wish soon some1 upload glitch diva that can use her on superstar matches on wwe 17 on ps4 and can edit her.

[izzyg.o.m.godovermoney]

lol im retro but this is 15 bucks on XBL is it worth it?

[jayeechapman]

at 124$ for the digital deluxe edition gives me the right to get what I and several other customers want. please no boring history lessons we have documentaries on you tube and tv. i want to see the stories unfold as they happen not having to repeat over and over sequences that have to be completed to progress.... sorry that kills my immersion did i mention technically i am NOT a fan of wrestling but i appreciate the effort to simulate the events stories and drama of the wwe. to me thats what i look forward to.

maybe seeing Jason Vorhees from Friday the 13th take on Freddy Kruger or the undertaker. Cortana from Halo take on Samus Aran from Metroid. Batman take on Iron Man or Angry Joe. Scorpion vs Brock Lesnar from Mortal Kombat. Thats what my Universe is like and that is what I want to see and thats what I call IMMERSION and excitement and most important IMAGINATION unlimited replay value that is what this game should have and every game for that matter.

thank you for letting me share

[killjoytheclown]

If anybody who has a right to complain its peopele playing this game on ps3 or 360

[Clemente]

There are alot of problems but over all im satisfied with the game and its good!

[tofu]

I hate that you get those plus and minus symbols next to your name just because of a taunt or a reverse to the point you cant reverse anything and then that stupid meter that comes on in triple threat fatal 4 way or money in the bank where the superstar rolls out of the ring and we have to wait for that meter fills up.  I was playing money in the bank and hell that's all I did.  got pushed off ladder and rolled to the outside.  had to wait.  finally got up and got in the ring got hit with the ladder right away...AND AGAIN....rolled to outside and had to wait again.
