WWE 2K17: 12 Awesome New Things You Can Do

4. New Show Presentations System In Universe Mode

A new show presentations system has been added to make players "feel like they are playing through a weekly episode of any WWE television or WWE Network program." That's straight from the horses mouth, if you will.

There are also new run-ins as well as pre and post-match attacks, which again makes things feel more like they do on our television screens each and every week.

Also making their debut in a 2K wrestling game are the new style of promos. This comes to us in the form of a new promo engine, which allows the Superstars to express their thoughts and emotions better than ever before.

To round off the new features that are coming to Universe Mode we've got some new scenarios in terms of the cut scenes, while keeping some more farmilair settings from years gone by.

While WWE and 2K claim this feature is new to the game, I can't help but feel like the Universe Mode is pretty much the same as it always has been. Since you have to create the storylines and feuds yourself with no major changes being introduced, it's pretty much what you make of it. What you put in generally dictates what you get out of it.

Personally, I'm not a fan of Universe Mode. I was turned off by it many moons ago and haven't dived back in since. However, since 2K have claimed that there are new features to the mode, this means it qualifies for this list, allegedly.
