Raw, but there's no denying the joy to be had powerbombing your opponent onto a sturdy oak desk while Vince McMahon stands by, undeterred. With the gorilla position, a hazardous hallway, locker room, and Authority office ready to be demolished, this isn't as gargantuan a space as it was in the halcyon days of WWE SmackDown! vs.

But the series is still a long way off from being a king in the ring.For the first time in a few years, you can take the fight backstage, too. These issues aren't game-breakers, and some will appreciate the deliberate pacing. Maybe it's implausible, with such a bevy of moves available, to somehow coalesce the reversal system with the excellent motion-captured animation, but simply tapping a button when a prompt appears above your head feels far too rigid and detached from the action. The pace of the action is still far too plodding, and the game is overly reliant on disconnected reversals dictating the outcome of each matchup. Now, I'm not expecting this series to suddenly adopt the fast-paced, arcade-style sensibilities of its forebears, but something slightly more sprightly wouldn’t be amiss, either. But some nagging issues still drag down the overall quality of the in-ring action. If 2K is able to capture that in the future, then we’re all going to benefit.Īll of these changes, however incremental, move the needle in a positive direction. A good promo can be as entertaining as a good match. Somewhat wonderfully, wrestlers actually sell these manoeuvrers, too, which is a far cry from when they’d leap back up to their feet regardless of what punishment had just been dealt out.That may seem like a disappointment given that we’re talking about 2K17 here, but it’s a solid first step and one that had to be included sooner or later. The impact of a bodyslam as someone is hurled into the mat is instantly apparent, and that goes for all manner of moves as well. Since every move in a wrestling match should feel like it hurts, the pace of the game has been slowed right down – and it’s all the better for it.


The is full of fighting with different mods and players. This game is made for WWE Lovers and for those who love the game. WWE 2K17 is back with full action and excitement.
