WWE 2K17 |OT| It's the same game, yes it is!

Is the career mode any better in this one? In 2K16 I ended up with a never-ending feud with Tyler Breeze, spanning NXT and the main roster. Couldn't get the fucker to leave me alone.

Any idea what's this 2K tonight? It gives an error when I start it.

Some sort of pre-made match for online thing.

Played for a while now. Short review:
 
Cons:
-No showcase mode
-Aliasing during entrances
-Hairs on some wrestlers look terrible
-sh*t commentary (many new lines are added, but commentators are sh*t, also sometimes totally wrong lines are said)
-Random hilarious glitches
 
Pros:
-Best roster ever?
-Great fan service. So many changes, like during a New Day match, Xavier Woods will blow his trumpet and crowd will chant along. There are so many such small things that only current wrestling fans will notice and appreciate. Those who don't watch WWE now will not get it.
-Fantastic graphics (character models) and excellent lighting
-Backstage is fun
-Lots of new moves added, like finishers/dives from stage etc
-New improved ladder match mechanics and multi-man matches. These match types are way more fun now
-Much improved Universe mode. Loads of customization options. Promo engine is decent attempt. We can have 7 matches now. We can even choose which attire of a wrestler will be used. So Demon King Finn Balor can be selected. The menus are also reworked so everything is much simpler to manage now.
-Game menus. They look plain, but the wrestlers doing their mini entrances in background is so good. You can actually watch them for fun. Also, in game character models in wrestler s select screen. Finally your CAWs won't look out of place.
-Creation suite is way more detailed now
-FUCKING SUBMISSION SYSTEM CAN BE REPLACED NOW
-New gameplay mechanics like taunts being used for buffs, referee shield etc. 
 
Yet to try career mode. Overall I am enjoying it much more than WWE 2K16.
 
I was kinda starting to enjoy this game despite its flaws, then a couple of friends came at my place and we noticed you can't change the battle royals rules... In all the older wwe games i've played you could choose between over the rope or pin/submission rules, but in 2k17 you can only play with over the rope? WTF Yukes? I can't even think a single reason why they would remove such a simple thing...

The worst thing is that all the hooks to change those are still in, they just don't show it to you.

Unbelievable... 3 years since the last wwe game i've played, and i found the same glitches but less match types...

I was playing mycareer to grind the vc to unlock all wrestlers and i've found a little trick. After winning the nxt title i decided to go after the wwe title next, and i noticed the game made me skip nxt and main event and then it sent me to the following week for raw and smackdown. At that point i had the idea of going back to nxt and then again to raw and so on... This way you keep getting those t-shirts money without having to take part in any show, it's an easy way to unlock things if like me you are already tired of fighting the cpu.
 
Is there really no way in disabling the auto rollout in this game? I local multiplayer today and we had fun, but the constant rolling out drained the fun out. I was planning on hitting the keep feature for this game from Gamefly, but if I can't disable this, then I'm taking this back :(
 
Gamecentral reviewed it today:

http://metro.co.uk/2016/10/19/wwe-2k17-review-face-turn-6200566/

In Short: The forward momentum from last year’s improvements already seems to be faltering, as the weight of bugs and glitches ruin many of the new features.

Pros: The combat is as good as it’s been for years, with a few welcome new details such as improved out-of-the-ring action. Universe mode has promise, but is spoiled by long load times.

Cons: More bugs and glitches than ever, which ruin the promos and make the internal logic of rankings impossible to work out. Inconsistent graphics and presentation.

Score: 6/10

I'll give it a miss again.
 
Just picked this up last night. My daughter is an overnight Goldberg fan since he showed up on Raw. Would anyone happen to have an extra Goldberg code for PS4?
 
Playing MyCareer vs my Rivals tag-team partner (Luke Harper) both partners ringside managing.

Mid-match cutscene ejects both managers.

Post match, attack, throw dude out the ring AND MY PARTNER IS STILL THERE CHILLING

Immediately cuts to the "leaving" cutscene... Harper just back bumps to the floor

Did I mention that for some reason in MyCareer that Harper/Bubba and Rowan/D-Von are tag teams? How do you even fuck that up?

The glitches are the only thing keeping me entertained at this point.
 
So career doesn't make much sense and I've been stuck wrestling Bo Dallas forever. Do I need to win a feud to move up the contenders bracket? How can I get feuds to continue to conclusion? In two the guys stopped having an issue with me right before a takeover.
 
Has anyone fully figured out MyCareer progression? There are some user tips at the 2K Forums, but they don't really give me enough to go on. It's frustrating how slowly you'll progress if you just play normally, even with T-Shirts equipped and shooting Promos. The more specific advice, the better.

Cesaro mode?
 
I'm really enjoying it so far. I've basically been in setup mode for the last couple days. Downloading all the superstars I want from the community and fine tuning Universe mode etc.

Load times are atrocious when using custom superstars.

I actually just uploaded a Jay Lethal CAS to the community last night. Full move set and all. Hope it gets some downloads!

I'm a little disappointed I can't create my own CWC with a bracket system. That's one thing I was hoping for.

All in all, I'm seriously happy with the amount of content; even sprang for the season pass.

Keep challenging the champion, eventually it'll go through to a PPV match which is probably a glitch.

My career got bugged out as I've been locked in a feud with Cesaro for 6 months with no rival points losing or gaining and no way to end it, so the best Career advice I can give is to not bother.
 
Yeah, I think I'm done till the patch comes out. It's a damn shame because this is the best wrestling game I've played in a very long time.

The nail in the proverbial coffin:
I decided to just run a realish universe with the game's default roster while I'm waiting for the save wipe patch, and any time I change the booking and start the show, the game changes shit either back or to random bullshit like a falls count anywhere match between Brock and Curtis Axel.... It's to the point where it's not even fun to book matches because they just disappear for the game's dumb bullshit matches that don't have anything to do with current rivalries or title rankings. On top of this, if I book a title match, it adds 5 more matches to an already 7 match card that are completely random and pointless.

TLDR: Universe Mode is booking itself as GM.

As much as I love to shit on Yukes, the 2K16 patches did fix a reasonable amount of things

That's why it's frustrating to see a lot of them return in 2k17.

I think a lot of issues have less to do with "Yukes is lazy" and a lot more to do with the fact that they have been using the same wrestling engine since the late 90s. These games are a patch work job at this point. I actually still enjoy them but the engine needs to be dumped - completely. The problem is WWE expects a game every year.

I'd love for VC to take a more hands on approach for these games. I've been hoping since 2k took over that VC had been quietly working away on a new engine while Yukes pumps out the yearly game on the old tech. They could essentially set up a CoD system where each team gets two years to work on a game.

WWE likes Yuke's. Expect nothing to change.

This gets brought up every time, and I'm not convinced; I've never seen compelling evidence. WWE has a lot of control over the game, but I just can't see them questioning 2k on a change in development studios for a higher quality product. It's a win win for everyone involved (except for Yukes). I do understand people wanting to blame WWE though. With how shitty they handle their own product a lot of time it's not hard to posit that they are complacent with Yukes.

If Yukes makes 2k18, that'll mark 4 years without VC taking over, then I think I will start blaming WWE for Yukes. I think 4 years is a reasonable amount of time to allow a dev to set up new tech and get a game out. I'm probably wrong, but it's not an unreasonable assumption. When it comes down to it, I just want wrestling games to be good again.

On a side note: Apologists for these games are insane. You guys might want to steer clear of the 2k forums unless you want to have good laugh at the hoops people will jump through to sell this as a flawless masterpiece of videogames. Lots of drive-by responses to bug threads saying "Exhibition Mode works great!"

Sounds like the Gamefaqs forums, which are generally packed with shills and fanboys.

To be fair, even if WWE wasn't bothered, who would blame 2K for carrying on with Yuke's? They make the game on a shoestring every single year and it sells at what is likely a decent damn profit. It's like watching Raw every week. Sure, they're putting on a shit show, but it's still a highly rated cable show. Why rock the boat?
 
^ Oh yeah, I totally get it; It's cheap to keep things stagnant. I just see a lot more negative buzz around this year than I did for the last few save for 2k15s shit show. I can see 2k not wanting to continue their relationship if sales are down. But I'm guessing sales aren't going down for some bugs, cause they haven't before.
 
I downloaded the No Mercy AJ Styles CAW but he has no real intro music and I think the finishers are wrong. I saw I can edit the normal AJ with the coat graphics and colors I downloaded. The colors change but the coat design does not carry over. Is this bugged or am I missing something.

Go to edit superstar. Click on custom, and go to information or something like that. Click on alternate attire and change it to yes and save it. Outfit will be under normal AJ Styles from then on

Wasn't expecting anything more than the save glitch. This is something.

I have to say this is the most glitched game they have ever released.
 
Still crashes for me every other match during MyCareer on PS4 as long as you're online. (Runs just fine offline)

Ura Shouten is still broken
