    how are these 2k wrestling games? i havent played one since no mercy (the goat)

    they suck compared to no mercy.

    its the saddest ? ever. all this ? technology and they cant make a decent ? wrestling game.

    ? too much now. I just download 16 for free. Button layout is all over the place. I miss the grab and punch days. ? takes entirely too much brain power to play now.

    Yeah truth be told I like the WWE games and buy them every year and since 2k has taken over the franchise the graphics look better compared to the THQ days. Near the end of THQ's run with the WWE series the models started to look more & more like cartoons with each installment. Now don't get me wrong because even though 2k has tried to expand & improve on the foundation that was set by Yukes/THQ it's still room for a lot of improvement in the WWE 2K series.

    I agree that it's about time the gaming engine/button layout (along with Universe Mode) needs an overhaul. When I'm playing 2k16 I get confused on how to activate the body limb targeting system, when to use the "? " moments, and I hate the submission system with a passion. The only reason I keep buying every year is because of the creation suite, DLC Packs, & the community creations.

    Their focus this year is Universe mode and career mode.

    And they bought back the OG submission system so u can use either that one or that new mini game ?

    Man I see why I been sleeping on WWE games since the GameCube era.

    Career mode is hot garbage. I beat Kevin Owens, who is current NXT champ twice a week. But they won't give me a title shot because this lil punk ads Asian wants to be my rival every chance he gets.

    AWW ? !!!!

    Since its debut in WWE 2K15, MyCareer mode has allowed players to experience the evolution of a WWE Superstar from NXT novice to absolute legend. In WWE 2K17, that journey is the most advanced and compelling yet created. Watch the trailer above to see MyCareer in action narrated by Paul Heyman, advocate of WWE 2K17 cover star, Brock Lesnar. Read on to dig deep on more details and advances headed to MyCareer.

    Jump ahead to the main roster if you’re good enough
    In past MyCareer iterations (and in real life), new WWE Superstars start off at the WWE Performance Center, debut on NXT, and work their way up to a spot on Raw or SmackDown. Now, if you prove your exceptional skills in the opening tutorial matches in NXT, head trainer Matt Bloom will offer to fast track you to the main roster. If you need work, he’ll recommend you remain in NXT and develop further.

    Become a Paul Heyman guy
    As you rise through the ranks of WWE, the legendary Paul Heyman will take notice and attempt to take you under his wing. He’ll offer long term challenges like holding a title for an in-game year with the promise of a big payout. Impress him enough and he may bestow one of WWE’s biggest honors – becoming a Paul Heyman guy. Accept and you’ll have The Beast Brock Lesnar on your side along with Heyman’s incomparable crooked ringside manager skills. Refuse and Heyman will release The Beast on your ass.

    Captivate the fans with the new Promo Engine
    Anyone who’s watched even 10 minutes of WWE programming knows that talking and charisma are just as important as in-ring skills. With the debut of the Promo Engine in WWE 2K17, players will be able to experience this vital aspect of sports entertainment in a whole new way. Promos can be slotted into various segments of the show so you can decide the best time to talk about how great you are or call out a rival. Once your promo begins, you’ll have several talking points to choose from and a limited time to decide. As you make choices throughout your promo, a performance meter will show how effective your words are with the audience. Whether it’s rapturous cheers or thunderous boos, the more extreme the reaction you incite the better, boosting your face or heel rating, popularity, and bank account.

    Engage in deeper rivalries
    The Promo Engine allows you to take rivalries deeper than ever before. Call out anyone on the roster in your promo and if their displeasure with you is high enough they’ll come out and respond to the challenge. Escalate the feud enough and they’ll beat you down during backstage interviews, attack you mid-entrance, ruin your match in progress, or beat you down after a match with someone else. Of course, you can repay your rival with all of these tools as well. Rivalries now span multiple months of pay-per-views and have a definitive winner and loser. Beating your rival in the ring and on the mic will provide boosts to VC and popularity.

    Earn more than one title
    Winning a WWE championship is one of the greatest achievements you can accomplish in the business. But why stop with just one? Players can now hold two titles at the same time if they’ve got the skills.

    Get a piece of the merch royalties
    For the first time in MyCareer, players can make VC off of their merchandise. Design a shirt and wear it on a show as entrance or in-ring gear and fans will buy it based off of your popularity rating and skills in the ring and on the mic. This provides an alternate income stream if you decide to defy The Authority’s commands for a match that may involve unpopular actions and losing. You can play your way and still earn VC without feeling the sting of lost bonuses from Triple H.

    I can say I like this year's game. My issue so far with WWE 2K17 is Universe mode.

    When I edit matches on the shows, it seems that more matches are auto-generated. Like if I set SD, RAW, & NXT to 6 matches a show and edit the matches, the computer gives me an additional 2-3 matches on the card.

    UPDATE: I turned on my tag team partner for when he got pinnned last week.. called that ? out right before our tag team match against the Dudley Boyz and told him to kick rocks and he said cool cause he was tired of teaming with me anyways basically.. then i told him next time we cross paths i was gonna kick his ass. After he left the ring that ? turned my tag match into a handicap match and the Dudleyz beat my ass.

    So on Smackdown I went and found my ex partner after his match and beat his ass for leaving me alone then right after i was gettin interviewed backstage & he came and attacked me, we got into a big ass fight and it ended with him KO'ing me backstage.... right before my match against Kevin Owens. So my dude was weak against Owens but he still won

    Hell yea its real

    one thing i learned so far is dont go startin ? wit ? cause they gonna make your life a living heel.

    On my face character I called out this other created career mode character in NXT but he aint come out on stage, so i called him scared he waited like 2 weeks then him & Samoa Joe decided to clique up and attack me and my tag team partner before a match. We ended up losing the match cause we were weak.

    Then next week we beat him & Joe but while i was gettin interviewed about winning he attacked me and beat my ass. They be bullying the ? outta both my characters

    Yeah the NXT characters they had in the NXT edition of the game will be in the season pass not the accelerator though. I went on 2k fourms for WWE 2K17 to see if there was a solution to the universe mode glitch and found nothing so I guess, it's gone be patched when the first DLC Pack drop.

    The problem in Universe Mode is that when editing matches on the card for shows the computer automatically generates an additional random 3-4 matches on the card.
