The WWE video game series lingered around directionless for years. The graphics weren’t great, gameplay was stale and it often didn’t feel like a wrestling game at all. Once it got brought under the 2K umbrella, fans of other 2K series’ immediately had high hopes and felt the series would finally make a leap to the next level. After a few years in the partnership, there is reason for optimism. Let’s take a look at a few things WWE 2K17 should focus on improving.

Just reskin day of reckoning 2. Those GameCube n64 wrestling games have a fun factor unmatched. I wish they'd find a happy medium with what they're attempting to do and what those Nintendo series have do done in the past.

sorry but universe got no improvements other than the removal of story collection and adding personality traits. they even removed cutscenes from minor shows or non rivalry matches and removed the draft. so I hope for 2k's sake they restore what was removed. graphics do not need to be improved anymore right now and gameplay is pretty much solid. they just need to address universe and the issues/removals

Take a page from Fire Pro Wrestling's creation ability. You can get any wrestler to perform like their real life counter-part.

Bring back the weight classes. I no longer want Kalisto suplexing Andre the Giant.

This is all great. I really hope the career gets improved much more because the foundation is there but it got old quickly. WWE 2k16 was a strong foundation all around, but I hope WWE 2k17 comes with a wealth of improvements that prolong the game. Within a month, I lost all interest in 2k16 and deleted it off my PS4.

I think this is what the game needs more than anything.Some type of control over how a wrestler behaves in the ring. I disagree with they should make this into a fighting game.Fighting in is the exact opposite of pro wrestling.In fighting you forcefully work against your opponent to make the fight end while taking little damage as possible, while in pro wrestling you play a game of give and take to work with your opponent to create a great match for the fans to enjoy.So I don't know why they don't add this to the gameplay.Some older Japanese wrestling games have this and a grade system on your matches. Overall I like the direction 2k has taken the series so far.But it is still pretty far from looking like a real match on TV as far as in ring action, the graphics are the least of the games issues in my opinion.

I agree with all these points but the biggest problem to me is the commentary.
