10 Things You Need To Know About WWE 2K17

8. The Taunt System’s Been Overhauled

Standing still and hammering the taunts to gain momentum was always a little stupid in previous games, but this year there’s actually a tactical use for them. Taunting the crowd will ensure your momentum increases faster for a short time, and taunting your opponent causes you to deal more damage. Nice!

Also, one of many weird detail tweaks this year is the ability to assign and use turnbuckle taunts. Simply taunt when you’re near one, and you’ll either lean into or climb it depending on what you’ve got assigned. Not necessary at all, but a lovely touch nonetheless.
