    Good game but it keeps crashing during video scences such as entrances and what not. Much better than the last WWE 2k game i played wich was 15 edition. Game would be fun but i know the crash is coming during every match.

    Awful, frustrating and broken. You can be guareenteed it'll crash frequently, the submission system is terrible. Feels like a major step backwards for the series, only major WWE fans will enjoy this version. Hopefully they can reboot the franchise and get it right for 2k18.

    One of the worst wrestling game I've played.

    Alot of crashes, I gave up on it after a few hours.
    Terrible game.

    PC Ver. - WoW what a peace of **** I mean come on. This had bigger bugs then what's in my shed.
    People hate on 2k20 Clearly didn't play this one first. 2k20 Is cheaper and has a hell of a lot less bugs.

    WWE 2k17 is very disappointing, and it has a lot of unclaimed potential. The graphics aren't all that good, especially the audience. The ranking system of the Online doesn't work well, and the game is full of bugs. On the other hand, the special abilities are great, the customization system is wonderful and the special games modes are perfect.

    The PC version of WWE 2K17 comes out of time for several reasons, with a standard price, no DLCs included and the same issues we found on console: cumbersome controls, no story mode and a mixed bag in terms of graphics.

    Even the inconvenience aside that this year (unlike 2016 and 2015) the console DLC is not included and has to be paid for separately the direction of the dominant wrestling franchise is still unclear. You have more wrestlers than ever before, but with just marginal enhancements of the proven fighting mechanics and reduction of modes you wonder what’s next.
