It's going to a be a Lesnar type mode called Suplex City,It's going to be a Defeat The Streak type of mode and it will take place in the places of the roster reveals and Lesnar does nothing but Suplexes and F5s he will also shout this exact phrase whenever he performs 5 consecutive german suplexes "SUPLEX CITY *CUTS OFF*". (I AM A 2K INSIDER GUYS BELEEE MEEE    /s Would love for it to be like what I described though except for Lesnar's limited moveset)

Somethin like this could be a laugh....

[Deek]

Honestly expect something like B-FTW posted, lol. Similar to the old mode but with an ultra difficult Lesnar.

[ItzTheRampage]

No its going to be either the Suplex City Mode or the " second Career" Mode where you get to choose a Superstar and get to be an paul heyman guy. Both Modes have been confirmed by Machinima at the 2K Press Event

I think Taker has a new entrance, hope so, he had the same entrance for years

[glennsoe]

I'm a Paul Heyman guy...

He has had the same entrance in real life for about 12 years now... And now he just makes his entrance about three times a year at most so I don't think that is necessary lol.

Looks the same to me. Especially since 2K have not given him his latest look(ie WM32), I doubt his entrance has been updated at all. Funny thing is last gen owners may see that attire & hairstyle update(Lol). I'm an fan of Taker too but at this point, I'm really tired of his current model. I despised his bald look in 2k15 and I didn't care for his "Wall Street" haircut at WM31. Plus, he rarely wrestlers anymore. So instead of giving us his OLD tired model every year, I'd prefer them to include a prime/younger version of him every year to play against the likes of Bret Hart, Mankind, Vader etc. I feel the same about way about The Rock. I always preferred his '98 - 00 look.

25+ years from now, I don't think today's fans of Drew McIntyre/Galloway, Seth Rollins, Dolph Zigger, Finn Balor, Dean Ambrose, CM Punk etc would want to play as a 50-60 something yr old & outdated version of their favorite wwe characters. So if they're NOT gonna update Taker properly, I'd prefer for them to only include retro versions of him or just remove him from the entire series.

Full Write Up here

Since its debut in WWE 2K15, MyCareer mode has allowed players to experience the evolution of a WWE Superstar from NXT novice to absolute legend. In WWE 2K17, that journey is the most advanced and compelling yet created. Watch the trailer above to see MyCareer in action narrated by Paul Heyman, advocate of WWE 2K17 cover star, Brock Lesnar. Read on to dig deep on more details and advances headed to MyCareer.

Jump ahead to the main roster if you’re good enough
In past MyCareer iterations (and in real life), new WWE Superstars start off at the WWE Performance Center, debut on NXT, and work their way up to a spot on Raw or SmackDown. Now, if you prove your exceptional skills in the opening tutorial matches in NXT, head trainer Matt Bloom will offer to fast track you to the main roster. If you need work, he’ll recommend you remain in NXT and develop further.

Become a Paul Heyman guy
As you rise through the ranks of WWE, the legendary Paul Heyman will take notice and attempt to take you under his wing. He’ll offer long term challenges like holding a title for an in-game year with the promise of a big payout. Impress him enough and he may bestow one of WWE’s biggest honors – becoming a Paul Heyman guy. Accept and you’ll have The Beast Brock Lesnar on your side along with Heyman’s incomparable crooked ringside manager skills. Refuse and Heyman will release The Beast on your ass.

Captivate the fans with the new Promo Engine
Anyone who’s watched even 10 minutes of WWE programming knows that talking and charisma are just as important as in-ring skills. With the debut of the Promo Engine in WWE 2K17, players will be able to experience this vital aspect of sports entertainment in a whole new way. Promos can be slotted into various segments of the show so you can decide the best time to talk about how great you are or call out a rival. Once your promo begins, you’ll have several talking points to choose from and a limited time to decide. As you make choices throughout your promo, a performance meter will show how effective your words are with the audience. Whether it’s rapturous cheers or thunderous boos, the more extreme the reaction you incite the better, boosting your face or heel rating, popularity, and bank account.

Engage in deeper rivalries
The Promo Engine allows you to take rivalries deeper than ever before. Call out anyone on the roster in your promo and if their displeasure with you is high enough they’ll come out and respond to the challenge. Escalate the feud enough and they’ll beat you down during backstage interviews, attack you mid-entrance, ruin your match in progress, or beat you down after a match with someone else. Of course, you can repay your rival with all of these tools as well. Rivalries now span multiple months of pay-per-views and have a definitive winner and loser. Beating your rival in the ring and on the mic will provide boosts to VC and popularity.

Earn more than one title
Winning a WWE championship is one of the greatest achievements you can accomplish in the business. But why stop with just one? Players can now hold two titles at the same time if they’ve got the skills.

Get a piece of the merch royalties
For the first time in MyCareer, players can make VC off of their merchandise. Design a shirt and wear it on a show as entrance or in-ring gear and fans will buy it based off of your popularity rating and skills in the ring and on the mic. This provides an alternate income stream if you decide to defy The Authority’s commands for a match that may involve unpopular actions and losing. You can play your way and still earn VC without feeling the sting of lost bonuses from Triple H

Wouldn't it be awesome if the merch you design was worn by fans in the crowd in the same way the crowd signs worked before

Got around to editing the title and the original post, just to avoid any possible future confusion.

cool yeah i was gonna sugggest that but i got caught up on twitter and some idiot on the 2k forums talking about how he was cheated into buying 2k17 lol

[jbl328]

I think if that was the case, 2K would've been shown us a picture verifying that by now when they announced Taker during the roster reveals. I knew something was up with that. In the trailer when they showed Shane diving off the HIAC Cage at WM32, that would've been the perfect opportunity to show us Taker's WM32 look but they didn't so I don't expect any alternates except his retro ones from last year. I could be in for a surprise though since Big Show '00 is an alternate this year.

I'm just happy we now have Papa Shango in 2K17 as oppose to being stuck with "The Godfather" as our only option. I will either make a New Ministy with Shango & '99 Taker as the leaders OR create that rivalry that was originally planned between them in 1997 when Kane was introduced instead.

My new Ministry of Darkness would include: '99 Taker, Shango, Finn Balor, The Ascension & lastly Stardust(if I we can have up to 6 stable members) It also depends on the rest of the DLC.

Looks pretty cool, but then My Career looked pretty cool in 2K16 until I actually started playing it... Can't say I have high hopes with it this year.
