3/5
HardcoreGamer Oct 19, 2016
Although WWE 2K17 didn’t need to be a strong step forward from its previous release, it’s still difficult not to be disappointed with how little has changed from year-to-year. The core combat is best at its most chaotic, whether online or with friends, but still often ranges from frustratingly inconsistent to annoyingly repetitive, and the desolate nature of MyCareer and WWE Universe don’t do much...
5,8/10
Game Informer Oct 14, 2016
WWE 2K17's core combat has improved, but Yuke’s grappling skills still aren’t strong enough to make anyone other than hardcore fans take notice.
