I have to say, I really like how triple threat matches work in this game. The tired guy rolling out the ring to rest does make it feel anxious if you are that guy and the match is down to the wire.

I also appreciate the return of the button mashing submission mini-game. Makes me want to actually perform submissions now.
 
The PS4 patch doesn't address the pin recovery minigame sometimes not working in online matches? That was really frustrating for me on Xbox One. Or maybe the PS4 version doesn't have that bug.

How do you mean? Sometimes lag is so bad that your button input doesn't get registered. That's happened for a few years.

It could fall under "Made improvements to pin meter responsiveness in online matches"

Ohhh, I overlooked that. Yeah, the minigame not working for any reason is unacceptable. It just hands the victory to whoever pins first.
 
Glad to see they're patching this one more frequently than the last one.

It shouldn't have been broken in the first place but at least it seems like they care.
 
looks like they fixed Ura Shouten

game still crashes during MyCareer every other match for me (only if I'm online)

at this point I'll just keep playing that mode offline. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
 
Soooooo did they fix the fact that at least once every show in Universe the referee refuses to count pins? It says they fixed referees becoming idle due to interference, but this occurs all the time without any interference? It's ruining the game.

Look.
 
The Nakamura pack isn't part of the Season Pass..... Not sure why I bought the season pass to begin with. I thought it was included. :(
 
After spending time between 2K16 and 2K17, I have to say that 2K17 has been a huge upgrade over last year's title.

1) The return of the button mashing mini-game for submissions. I never could learn last year's submission system. I loathed it because I would lose quickly in a match if a submission was applied, and if I was giving a submission, I knew I would never win with the hold so I stayed far away from submissions. Thankfully, 2K17 has the option to use the button mashing mini-game for submissions, so now I love making guys tap to CM Punk's Anaconda Vise.

2) The tired wrestler rolls out of the ring. Triple threat matches in 2K16 could last forever it felt like because wrestlers seemed to regain their strength too quick, and if you are playing as a guy with a longer finisher animation (Scott Hall's Outsider's Edge), it took too long to time the finisher with the third man down, and then get the pin off. I really like how in 2K17, during multi-man matches, the tired wrestler would roll out of the ring and stay outside the ring, slowly regaining strength. This added drama in case you were the tired guy outside the ring while the match was coming to an end.

A complete win for me with 2K17. Looking forward to the eventual PC release, so I can have triple threat/fatal four way elimination matches with mods.
 
Legends Pack is up.

Rented on PS4, and the game is hilariously shit.

Same gameplay as 2k16, they've added back in backstage brawls as a new feature and these promos are so poorly written

Pleased I didn't wait and pay full price on PC
 
It's not the same gameplay as 2K16.

- The button masher submission game is back. Check the options to switch between the 2K16 submission system, or the returning button masher system.

- Triple threat and fatal four way matches added a new mechanic that will have the tired wrestler roll out of the ring for a period of time. It adds excitement to the match if you are the one to roll out towards the end of the match, and it can also help make the match a little more winable.

IMO, 2K17 is a big improvement over 2K16.
 
Works in Europe (inc UK), Middle East, Africa.

Thanks for the clarification. I should have looked before posting.

I picked up the digital deluxe on Steam for $65. All the content, and being able to play in 1440p @ 144 hz is GLORIOUS.
 
Anyone have any awesome sliders for pretty "realistic " back and forth matches? Or point me in the right direction? Just getting into it now on xbox one.

Also can edit superstars? Few guys I want to bump up before I start Universe. Like say Braun for example and Rusev.
