    It's tempting to forgive WWE 2K17 the bugs, the awkward controls, the glitchy animations, and the inability to respond to the biggest change in how WWE operates since the last time the brands split. It is, after all, the only major wrestling game around. There are no other options, and going up against the biggest stars in WWE is a compelling fantasy.

    WWE 2K17 is superior in a few ways to its predecessor, with a much improved wrestling system. At the same time, loading times are worse and there's a lack of Showcase leaves a gap the MyCareer and Universe modes simply can't fill. Aesthetically lacking and, frankly, boring too much of the time, it's hard to recommend this. Particularly when considering the prohibitive DLC practices that keep active members of the roster behind a pay wall.

    The controls can be difficult to master, especially with no tutorial option available, and those who enjoy the surrealism possible in previous entries might not be thrilled with the grounded aspects of the game. While there are plenty of things to do, WWE 2K17 relies on the player to find its heart, rather than offering up anything to feel attached too.

    WWE 2K17 is a poor simulation of the WWE product, often because it seems ashamed of pro wrestling. This is a television universe where Jon Stewart has interfered in back-to-back SummerSlams -- you either get on board with the nonsense or you give the license to somebody else.

    The WWE 2K series seems to be suffering from the fatigue of being an annual title, and never has that been more evident than in WWE 2K17. A confusing multitude of controls keep the game from being something fun that anyone can pick up, and a host of glitches keep those who follow the series from wanting to put in the effort. Perhaps it’s time the “New Era” arrives for this franchise.

    WWE 2K17 is the WrestleMania 20 matchup between Brock Lesnar and Goldberg (ironically the cover athlete and pre-order DLC respectively): major hype, a few good flashes, but ultimately a bit disappointing. I can see the future of WWE 2K and I like it, but 2K17’s not quite there yet.

    It’s a step up from 2k15 but also a step down using in game currency to unlock the wrestlers, belts, and stages is so tedious unlike previous entries you can unlock all that by playing events that happen a year or so. I had to force myself with mycareer to get the currency to even unlock everything and that mode itself is even more tedious. The create your superstar is a little bare bones but not so much so than 2k15 but it works. Honestly some of the wrestlers faces look like they had bad plastic surgery for example Becky Lynch does NOT look like that at all in reality. Overall if you’re into wrestling it’s still a good candidate but be aware of its tedious nature.
