WWE 2K17 features

[the King Lives]

I honestly don't mind the omission of a showcase mode this year. It was cool and all back when it was initially introduced into the series, but the novelty has slowly worn off in my opinion. I would much rather see them focus that extra time and energy into strengthening the core gameplay mechanics while  seriously enhancing Universe Mode and My Career.

I feel the same... 

However, I wonder what this means for the season pass? In the past; most of the content was add ons for the showcase, throw in a move pack and a wrestler pack. Do we get more wrestler packs?  

season pass had nothing to do with showcase. aside from 2k15 and the 1 showcase dlc in 2k16 it was always about extra characters, an arena here and there and a move pack.and i'm talking from SVR11 - 2k16. yes i realize THQ had 11-14 but still.

but i hope everyone is happy now they got what they wanted, no more showcase, which we'll never get an HBK, Bret, Undertaker, Sting, Hogan, or MNW story mode because of it. and you can say goodbye to hogan ever being in a wwe game again if it doesn't have anything to do with him.

so yep once again. people throw a tantrum and gets what they want.  I sincerely hope the current and nxt fans carry the sales cause if it doesn't i'm gonna laugh so hard at 2K. don't get me wrong. i'm glad that they are focusing on those things, but no mention of match creator, or setting number of finishers from start etc. has me worried. and you know how 1st year features never work as intended

I don't think its fair to say we'll never get another showcase type story mode again. Maybe not this year, but maybe in the years to come.

Backstage brawling was about the only thing that would convince me to get 2K17. Looking forward to seeing how that works out, and whether its a free roaming arena or just limited to a few areas that aren't connected together.

I think it's like SVR 07, remember that little area with all the weapons?

It mentions fighting in the crowd and backstage as two separate things. I was talking about actual backstage.

Ah gotta

hogan will be definitely in the games once he is back in wwe but the thing without showcase mode I want to see how they will have old arenas and lot of attires for different superstars especially HBK, also different undertakers and kanes

the way people bitched and complained about how it was pointless and a waste of space on the 2k forums, and how that place is THE only place they take feedback. i honestly wouldn't expect it back.  and you can kiss hogan goodbye untill there's a need for him

except hogan was only brought back initially because of 2k14's 30 years mode. yes he was dlc in 2k15 but that was still because he was focused on. without him or any other legend being included in any type of story mode, i just don't see them just having him pop in and be like "hogan is in" same for angle. the only hope angle had for being in was a showcase. well that's out of the window now.. so my only hope is all the wcw legends from 2k16 and 2k15 are still in and they add "another" nWo pack.

 

i will say this though, the fact they are focusing on modes this year is a huge step in the right direction. i only wanted showcase because of the unlockables and nothing more

For what its worth there really is no reason that the absence of showcase mode needs to translate to less legends. Even though some fans of the current product may bitch about the inclusion of so many legends they know that having legends in the game is a draw. Chances are we just won't be seeing as many oddities like Mikey Whipwreck, Savio Vega, or The One Billy Gunn, and gimmicks like Stunning Steve Austin will be less likely to be included, and classic arenas may disappear (Yes I realize that isn't necessarily a good thing, but if it gives them the flexibility to be more selective with who makes the cut, and give us a more solid roster overall as a result then it's a fair compromise). Plus for all we know they may be trying to come up with an alternative for future installments if the feature is well and truly gone. The only reason I care for the showcase mode is the content it necessitates, but lets be honest it's a pretty shitty and tedious feature for the most part. As long as we continue getting legends content then I really couldn't care less about it being cut, and I am more than open to any other viable alternative.

Unless you have some sort of magical crystal ball, using the term "never" is absolutely ridiculous.

Jeff stop saying well done you got what you wanted when we would have a extremely low chance to get a Sting showcase and there was no chance Hogan was going to have another as he has been Benoited and we've basically already have had a Taker and HBK and people aren't really throwing tantrums you are saying oh no I can't have the walking hot dog Terry Bollea in my game. Jeff if you want him just go play legends of wrestlemania

Need i remind you of SVR2010 and the online people that bitched and complained about moves being spammable and all the moves that were removed? even when 2k15 came out they removed the only good facebuster that was good for triple h setting up the pedigree in favor of that facebuster knee smash that automatically makes you automatically hit the mat instead of stay standing.

so no i don't have a crystal ball but if there is not going to be a story mode focus and they are only focusing on my career and universe you can kiss hogan, classic kane among others goodbye until they actually have a reason to add them.

we have not had a taker or hbk story based on just them. would you feel the same if i and other legends fans said lets just get rid of nxt cause they add nothing but filler to the game? this game series is not just about current fans of the franchise. what about those that have been loyal to the series since before there was even a smackdown series. this happens every year. the current people constantly want legends to disappear. every fucking year. go on caws.ws and you will see exactly what i mean or better yet go on the 2k forums or that horrible forum of solitude forum where wildknight is over there bitching cause they added fighting backstage and in the crowd. i know that's gonna start something. but i don't care. all i'm saying is people have been throwing tantrums for years because the legends made it in. it's the same argument you can make of the divas/women of these games fans. I just feel like there should be enough to have something for everyone not just something for one demographic.

if they found another way to implement legends i wouldn't mind showcase being gone but i know better than that. I don't have to have hogan. but i do need a retro HBK and Taker and Kane in these games.

right, that's the only reason i really cared about the showcase/nostalga modes. other than that i didn't care. i just want the content. if they found some way "OTHER THAN HAVING TO PAY VIA EARNING VC IN MY CAREER MODE AS SOME HAVE STUPIDLY SUGGESTED" to add in the content i'll be okay.  I'll wait before i go full on rant mode. cause i think i'm almost at that point. but I honestly think they planned for a lesnar showcase till they realized it would either be pointless or useless without Angle Hardyz Punk etc. so yeah as long as we get the legends content i agree with you. it was never about the actual showcase for me. but we would have probably never gotten razor or diesel in 2k14 if it wasn't for that 30 years mode. and we would have never gotten I Quit match if it wasn't for AE Mode in WWE13 (albeit that was a THQ product)

if we can change hair, then you won't have me complaining but if i'm stuck with that bald abomination of undertaker or that short haired bs of triple h then i have problems lol

but yeah all in all i just want the game to work as it should. i can easily make the people i want if i need to but if the game is lacking that's an entirely different story. we all know how 1st year features end up in these games lol

i'm happy we can change victories. now my heels won't jump around like little girls lol

[Sonia_Bayley]

Well, I have to say that i'm very Hyped and glad to see that the Crowd/Backstages Fights are back because it could be cool to make some kind of Storyline videos with CAWs and WWE 2K17's Superstars like for example my CAW Brian Storm vs. Batista or even John Cena in a huge rivalry, And also the feature of the Highlight Reel (Hello Y2J) to make some Titantrons for CAWs or downloaded (or created) Wrestlers/Womens from other Companies or even former WWE-Stars.

 

Also the announcement that there will be no 2K Showcase Mode makes me feel a little bit worried on how we will unlock Arenas, Superstars and other stuff, But it's still cool the improvements for the MyCareer-and WWE Universe Modes, I play very much the Universe Mode since back in SmackDown vs. RAW 2011, So i can't wait to break-up some Matches with my CAW Brian Storm who i like to make always a freakin' Heel

 

Sorry for my Bad English, You guys may know that i'm German

But i'm glad to see Goldberg back in a WWE-Game and also these improvements concerning the Weapon-Physics and also the fact that there will be a second Submission System.

 

Greetings from France,

Brian

[Steenalizer]

Hopefully Create-A-Titantron includes changing the minitron and side trons instead of only the main video. We've yet to have a fully customisable tron editing mode.

[HarlotEffect]

You know what, I'm just happy they've sorted out weapon physics, and added a create a titantron again. I wonder if people will create titantrons like they did years ago using crowd signs. I remember that being popular on the PS3. 

[SelfHighFive]

This announcement certainly seems promising for the upcoming game.  I don't use CAW features so im not familiar with whats already there, but i hope in gets improved as its a big feature for many people.  As far as gameplay, my career, and specifically universe, i need to actually play the game before i get excited.  They can use fancy words and hype it up, but will it all work as intended?  Lets hope so, this year's game has the potential to be on another level.

[Titavius]

They didn't have to do a Lesnar Showcase. They could have done anything. Showcase mode was always going to phase out at some point. I doubt it'll return, if it's gone it's gone. Bad news for Legends, because it means that if Legends are added, it'll be at random without any real direction or purpose. The other thing that I actually liked a lot about Showcase mode was the array of Legacy Arenas that we were given. Unlike the Legends, though, I can't see them randomly adding old Arenas, so consider that a thing of the past. 

I guess we could see random "wcw" or "ruthless aggression" DLC's or something, with a few legends and arenas thrown in, but something tells me we're more likely to get current roster updates. That just seems to be where the franchise is headed. 

It'll be interesting to see how well the game sells without new legacy content. 2K themselves admitted that the Austin theme from last years game was a big selling point .

 

 

[Robbie686]

Love that they are actually making an effort this year with universe mode as in my eyes this is the most important mode in keeping the game going. Excited!!

Bad news for Legends, because it means that if Legends are added, it'll be at random without any real direction or purpose. The other thing that I actually liked a lot about Showcase mode was the array of Legacy Arenas that we were given. Unlike the Legends, though, I can't see them randomly adding old Arenas, so consider that a thing of the past. 

I guess we could see random "wcw" or "ruthless aggression" DLC's or something, with a few legends and arenas thrown in, but something tells me we're more likely to get current roster updates. That just seems to be where the franchise is headed. 

It'll be interesting to see how well the game sells without new legacy content. 2K themselves admitted that the Austin theme from last years game was a big selling point .

 

 

yep we'll probably go back to the "Mount Rushmore" of legends again. meaning just Rock, Stonecold, Bret Hart, Undertaker, Kane and HBK LOL well atleast we know there's room for an extra DLC we know it won't be a showcase cause that means they phased out showcase completely. even in 2k16 when you downloaded the HOF DLC the showcase was tied to the 2K Showcase menu.  speaking of that, menus, i hope they change the way they are. i always liked the way they were in 2k14 where there was a grid list rather the horizontal thumbnail view.

I'm close to positive that Rock, Stone cold, Hart, Undertaker, Kane, and HBK will be in the game.

and that's what's considered the Mount Rushmore of legends. look back.. from WWE13 - 2K16 we got a slew of legends because of the showcase/nostalga modes, WWE12- SVR we hardly got as many. and the ones we got they couldn't really do anything cause there wasn't anything you could pit them against other than the current roster.. SVR11 had Luger and bulldog from their WWF runs yet we get a nitro arena ... do you see where i'm going? SVR10 only had stone cold. 09's dlc didn't even come with any music for most of those people.

That was under the guise of THQ though. Also remember how a lot of the legend attires were either missing or incorrect for WWE 13 & 2K14:

Diesel's Wrestlemania 11 attire

HBK's Wrestlemania 12 attire

Bret Hart's Wrestlemania 10 attire

Undertaker's Wrestlemania 12 attire

Paul Bearer's 95-96 attires

Undertaker's Wrestlemania 29 attire

HBK's one night only attire

Undertaker's SummerSlam 1998 attire

Triple H's SummerSlam 1998 attire

Undertaker's Bad Blood 97 attire

Vader's & Dude Love's Over The Edge 1998 attires

The Rock & Ken Shamrock's King Of The Ring 1998 attires

Shane McMahon's Wrestlemania 15 attire etc among various other off-script, raw & smackdown attires that were off.

At least when 2K got a hold of the series, they did make sure that every legend had their appropriate gear for each match-up they had in showcase mode. So, maybe they(2K) will find a way to still include a significant amount of legends each year unlike THQ did when there was no relive mode

all i'm saying is that with the Historical/Showcase modes we got way more shit than without them. that's all i was saying.

and when Marcus Stephenson was community manager from like SVR10 - WWE12 or whatever his excuse on attires was that it was because each alt attire was new model and they didn't have the resources or some shit.  I respected him as someone i knew in the community but sometimes he acted like a complete jackass when it came to answering questions.  He didn't even know there weren't any elimination tag/tornado tag matches outside of my career or that william regal was in 2k15. lol
