Other worthwhile additions include the ability to brawl вЂњin the crowdвЂќ during matches, although itвЂ™s more like a completely sectioned off waste of space than a lively crowd, and the return of backstage fights. ItвЂ™s totally fine, but the major addition is ladders auto-locking to the center. They also added a new mini-game when grabbing the belt that has the player forcing a ball inside a rotating circle with a small hole in it.

I donвЂ™t know how it took the series over a decade toВ figure out this simple solution, but I sure am glad theyвЂ™ve done it. No longer do players have to constantly readjust a ladder since it wasnвЂ™t directly placed in the middle, as the game now snaps onto the middle. Ladder matches, which have previously been the bane of my existence, have also been significantlyВ improved. This also means that pinfalls arenвЂ™t being broken up as constantly, and these matches can end much more quickly. This is much like a real match where not all four participants in a fatal four-way will be battling it out all at once, and often one of them is on the sidelines getting energy back. This is due to some smart decisions where players are forced to roll out of the ring after taking a huge damaging blow. The biggest of which is that multi-man matches are no longer a complete chore to play. While the problems of past installments are still present here, there have been a lot of additions (and one major removal) in this yearвЂ™s game. A lot of the female WWE Superstars lookВ poorly done, which is disappointing to see asВ the WWE pushes a womenвЂ™s revolution on their television every week.

ItвЂ™s so strange to see someone as detailed as AJ Styles is in-game competing against a poor model like the late Dusty Rhodes (which looks more like a create-a-wrestler than an official model). In-game models range from stunningly lifelike in the case of John Cena to turning the beautiful interviewer Renee Young into some sort of monster (seen above).

Plus the graphics are as much of a mixed-bag as ever. While I was able to still win the match, it was in spite of the game trying to screw me over. Yup, the refereeвЂ™s animation broke and my sure win was negated. Right after I pulled off my finisher and went for the pinfall,В the ref just stood there instead of counting. I had been playing as Sami Zayn in the gameвЂ™s MyUniverse mode, and had finally reached a shot at the WWE title at Wrestlemania after winning the Royal Rumble. Some of these glitches are downright hilarious, but more often than not theyвЂ™re annoying and a reason for frustration. IвЂ™ve seen Vader attempt to pick up a table in the ring only for it to morph under the ring and then his arm get twisted and stretched as if he was Gumby. This isnвЂ™t to mention all of the glitches that make a triumphant return. Often times players will punch in the opposite direction of their opponent for no reason, and IвЂ™ve seen way too many characters miss attacks despite the opponent not countering at all. I guess itвЂ™s not surprising that a character model like Andre the Giant wouldnвЂ™t mesh well with a small character like Kalisto, but thatвЂ™s a possible matchup in the game, and itвЂ™s not rare to see arms clipping through each other and other anomalies. The in-ring action is as sloppy as past outings, as the wide-range of characters donвЂ™t always interact well. IвЂ™ve never loved how much the focus is on counter (literally almost every move from a punch to a german suplexВ can be countered), but itвЂ™s been a signature of the series for so long that IвЂ™m not sure that YukeвЂ™s could really get away from it. The in-game action consists primarily of heavily scripted animations (which I guess is apt for a heavily scripted sport) that can be broken apart by timed button presses of the right trigger. 2K17 is another counter-heavy fighting game that takes place within the squared circle. That is almost never the case, and sadly it isnвЂ™t this year either.ДЄnyone who has played WWE 2K15 or WWE 2K16 on PlayStation 4 should have a good idea of what to expect here. Maybe this will be the year where YukeвЂ™s StudioвЂ™s engine isnвЂ™t filled with bugs, and the gameplay will allow players to put on five-star matches as if they were Shawn Michaels. Similarly, despite being disappointed in WWE games for the past decade, I always start to get excited when October comes and a new one gets released.
