WWE 2K17 Review: 6 Ups & 7 Downs

5. Commentary Is Still Terrible

Again, not a surprise but still disappointing as fans still hope that 2K might one day learn from it. There are so many problems with the commentary in this game: it's repetitive, they've rehashed dialogue from previous years (a CM Punk reference somehow made it in), and the game straight-up doesn't respond to the correct context sometimes: in our play-test, after pinning an opponent in a one-on-one singles match, Jerry Lawler noted that it was the "final elimination".

Honestly, so little effort is put into the commentary here that they're probably better off just leaving it out.
