WWE 2K17: 12 Awesome New Things You Can Do
8. The Table Meter
Let's take this one straight from the horses mouth, if you will. This is what the game's creative director, Lynell Jink told Gamespot.com:
"There is also the new table meter that basically measures the damage that you have on your opponent or yourself that's attached to a table. For instance, hit a guy against a table and strike him, it can damage the table, so it's basically just letting you know when the table will break.
"I had a cool scenario play out the other day where I was running towards my opponent. He flipped me over the ropes, and I fell through the table. At the end of the match I was like, "Ah, that was cool, didn't even have the table meter going at the time!" It's just more dynamic in that way and gives users a better experience rather than just arbitrarily breaking tables and not really understanding why it's breaking or not."
Tables have feelings too now in WWE games!
