WHOSNEXT00's WWE2K17 Sliders for realistic matches

[whosnext00]

Another year, another edition of WWE smash-mouth wrestling!

For those of you who don't know, I normally post sliders for Madden on this forum. This is my first year doing WWE2K and I must say, I'm excited for this one! This is easily the best installment to date... aside from a few small glitches that should be fixed with patch updates.

My goal is to have a great set that doesn't require editing attributes because we should spend our time enjoying the game, not working on it!

So without further ado, here is my WWE2K17 set with the most realistic matches I've seen so far!

These work great for User and CPU vs CPU

OP Updated

Changed Reversal Damage to ON and OFF for PPV's in order to create the illusion of Raw being 3 hours and PPV's being 4-5 hours. Matches generally last longer in PPV's too. The quality of matches hasn't really changed, just more drama with it OFF

Not all PPVs are 4-5 hours. Seems like WrestleMania and maybe Summerslam are the only ones I can remember being 4+ hours.

Finisher strength might need to go up one tick. What do you guys think?

Re: WHOSNEXT00's WWE2K17 Sliders for realistic matches

im huge on going cpu vs cpu matches instead of simulating them and your sliders aren't bad except stamina cost, I lowered that to 13, it makes the cpu last through signatures till they are hit by finishers.


I redo attributes because im not having someone win by submission if they don't do that in the real wwe, I also make it that the cpu only wins by finisher submission and that's working well for me, though the rate that they win by them is less then last years game.


the cpu this year is more unstable in what it does.


whosnext, are you on the 2kforums too?

I haven't had an issue with stamina cost. If opponents are close to even then they might kick out of one finisher. If one guy is dominate, he might win by signature but not often.

Nah, I don't really get into many game forums since I stay pretty busy these days, this one is about it.

The only attribute I change is strength for weight detection and so move tendancies are more realistic

This game has no replay value no matter what you do to the Gameplay sliders. It is way too easy on Legend difficulty. I can kick out at 1 out of 2 and 3 finishers against the computer.

If you find a set that makes the pin meter harder please post it here. I am sick of spending 60 dollars every year to have the computer be so easy every year. I dont understand what is so hard about making it wayy harder to kickout on legend difficulty against the cpu after being hit with a finisher.

Try lowering the pin escape rating of the wrestlers. Lower the rating means smaller window of kicking out.

Steven I already did! I made a thread about it. Stating the following:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This game is wayyyyyyy too easy on Legend and I am already thinking of trading it in.

I have tried everything possible to try and make the Pin Escape Mini game harder for myself against the computer.

I chose to lower Kevin Owen's and John Cena's Pin Escape, Damage Recovery and all body Durability Attributes all the way down to 30. (30 is the minimum)*

I played 10 matches with Kevin Owens against John Cena and let him beat me down all the way to Red/ Orange on my health bar. I let him do 2 signatures and 2 finishers before i even begin to hit him and i still manage to kick out at 1 out of all signatures and finishers and i still end up winning the match. I also set all of the A.I's reversal sliders to max and all user reversal sliders to Zero.
I also tried removing limited reversals to see if that would make it harder. Still too easy!

The reason i put The pin escape/Body Durability Attributes down to the Minimum is to see if i can make the pin meter harder for myself, but even that way it is way tooo easy against the computer.

This needs to be patched because right now for me this game has no replay value. Don't want to play my career anymore because i am winning all my matches even after restarting a new one and leaving my character at Overall rating of 66.

This does not add any substance to my thread or help with the sliders which is what this thread is for. If you want to rant, please choose another thread. If you want to help make the sliders better then do some testing and post your feedback.

I bumped up each of the AI reversals two notches and put the finisher strength up a fair amount to 17 or 18.

I think I'm also going to have to lower my human finisher reversal, as it seems easier than it has been in past years.

Also I personally want my referee to be down for a bit, so it's at about 75%.

I'll have to try the finisher bump, reversals have seemed good so far, a fairly realistic amount

I really appreciate you slider guys on this site. I don't really bother with them, so it's nice that you guys put time into these. I ran 4 or 5 matches and they feel pretty good for my play style. The matches had a nice pace and ebb and flow to them.

Re: WHOSNEXT00's WWE2K17 Sliders for realistic matches

I cant stand that a (lower card) person can put up so much of a fight, maybe they will patch dropping past 30 again

Glad you're enjoying the sliders
