    The game is fun and has great graphics. I enjoy that you can purchase and earn legacy characters. There are a lot of in game effects that make it feel like you are really watching an event live. We also like the new game modes that were introduced with this new version.

    I have not bought a wrestling game in a long time. I purchased this one due to the listed roster being so large. Just a warning, a lot of characters needed unlocked. They start you with points so you can unlock a few from the beginning. Graphics are amazing, intros are spot on. Vintage characters are cool. Most people are as realistic as you will get from a game, few look like wax figures. I have not played online yet, but will soon

    Really enjoy the character customization part of the game. The parry and counter system could be a little touchy and can take a but of time to master. easy to earn in-game currency

    If you ever wanted to play a wrestling game that's as close to the real thing as you see on TV, this is it! The most sim wrestling game ever. The graphics are amazing as well. The game has never looked so good. Deepest roster ever. From the big boss man, earthquake and typhoon, Ravishing Rick Rude to Goldberg and even Shinsuke Nakamura over 120 wrestlers to choose from. It is missing a few things though. If you are a fan of the showcase mode from past years there is none this year. So if that's all you really play you will be disappointed. I'm a big fan of universe mode though so I did miss it but not too much. There are a lot of match types that are still missing. No inferno match, no Casket Match, no Triple Threat tag team match, and a couple other matches are still missing. Also, you need to be able to get online to take full advantage of what this game has to offer. So you can be able to download current versions of some of the wrestlers like Braun strowman, Chris Jericho, and Jinder Mahal since he's not even in the game. Plus you might be interested in some of the DLC wrestlers that have to offer and they do have a Legend showcase to purchase. Overall the game is awesome and im having a lot of fun. Give it a try

    2K17 has a lot of new features compared to 2K16. It has a create a video, a deeper creative entrance and superstar, a lot larger roster, more arenas, better graphics that make the characters you create look like the real wrestler and more up to date WWE superstars. There is a lot more animations and creative options in career mode too.

    This game is better than previous versions. The roster is bigger than ever before although it counts all the alternate costumes as different people. The music is better although too limited. The gameplay is better although there are glitches throughout the game.

    This game brought back a ton of old features from wrestling games that were on the PS2. Not only is this the biggest roster they've ever had, it is fun to play with all the returning modes and options. The only reason why this isn't a 5 star is because many of the glitches and bugs, that have been around since WWE 12' are still in the game. In my eyes, for the next game, keep everything you currently have in it for the next one and just simple fix the glitches/bugs.

    The gameplay itself is pretty awesome, tons of wrestlers to choose, arenas, different fight scenarios, you can even choose referees & managers. Some of then faces look pretty awful though & I'd say the girls are usually the ones who look the worst. If you've been a fan of wrestling then you should really enjoy this game. I haven't purchased wrestling games for a long time because they're usually repetitive & lame but I this one is easily the best I've played

    Overall a good game. It's a missing a few components. Showcase is DLC this year. Creation suite is fantastic. My Career can be boring and repetitive once again. Graphics are good. However I still feel like they could have accomplished the same thing with the PS3. That being said the roster is extremely formidable. Couple of people missing from prior games, and no Hulk Hogan..... other than that anyone you could want. Overall good but not great.

    This is a good game, but it was missing some things. The game definitely seems more realistic than 2k16, but this year does not have 2K Showcase. Instead of earning unlockable superstars through matches, you earn VC for each match. You can use the VC to purchase WWE Legends, Classic Championship Belt, and Classic Venues. Gameplay, although very similar, is an upgrade from last year and graphics are as well.

    I love wrestling games. The graphics on here are mind blowing. I bought the season pass so I am playing with superstars who are not originally on the game and I am having fun with it all. The soundtrack is a bit short compared to past games. The roster is huge and nice although they left off some people who should have been on here.

    I've played the WWE 2K games on the PS3 before & I've enjoyed them as a WWE fan. This PS4 version just make the wrestlers just that more realistic. I love it! I can't get enough of it. I just wish that the controls were a bit more easier, so you can execute the moves easier.

    The gameplay is very good and the biggest roster in the series along with updates to universe mode and new additions to WWE 2K17 was a must buy for me. My only issues with 2k17 is the additional matches added to a card in Universe Mode when editing. Hopefully it will be patched.

    I enjoyed the game overall. Great graphics, content. Not too crazy bout the submission mini game but the option to defer to the button mashing option is good. Roster is outstanding. Do miss a couple of wrestlers but otherwise the add-ons and dlc content I think more than make of for it. Overall impressed.

    Love the game. Love when you pick someone it puts their match for a tag team , or even manager. Enzo and Big Cass do their routine coming in with Carmela as their manager. Love it. It's a shame Marisse didn't make the cut to be on the game, so she could enter with The MIZ. Graphics are great.

    Did you enjoy last year's WWE game? If so then you'll probably enjoy this one. Very minor changes gameplay wise, improvements to customization, and great improvements to career mode. Something that helps a lot is that every match you play gives you the currency used to improve your career character, whether you're in career mode, using Brock Lesnar in exhibition, or controlling your own show in Universe mode. A set back however is that the currency is also used to unlock things as well. Just play a bunch of matches and you'll make up the points spent on unlocks. The game isn't bad but it's not really great. I put on some podcasts and play since the commentary is horrible.
