This was my first WWE game in a videogame system, so that was especial for me, but it doesn't seem like it's gonna change my opinion.
First of all, the lack of story in this game makes it boring at one point. WWE games were known because even if these are yearly sports games, they include on it features that makes you come back to them such as 24/7 mode, Road to WrestleMania, Showcase... But this game have no story at all! In PS4 and Xbox One you were able to download DLCs to get showcase mode, but for PS3 and Xbox 360 forget you'll see any kind of story.
The game gameplay is the same since SmackDown Vs. RAW 2011, so nothing changed here. Also the bugs are glitches are common and sometimes could be similar.
The creations are good, you can create a good looking characters with the options the game gives to you. This is why also WWE games are so popular, you can create almost everyone.
Graphics were decent. Some wrestlers such as Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns or Becky Lynch have really horrible looking models, while others such as Finn Balor, AJ Styles and Paige had some good models.
I am not going to talk about some online features. The community creations was a great thing but now you cannot access to it. So I am not going to count this for the review.
At the end, WWE2K17 for PS3 and Xbox 360 was a decent game, but if you already had 2K16 for those platforms, you already own the game just without the wrestlers at that moment. Differently to SVR 2007, SVR 2011, WWE 2K14 or WWE 2K19, this game does not have anything for make you comeback. As a standalone ignoring its a yearly game? Good. Knowing it is a yearly game that is literally the same that last year without anything new? Soulless and not worthy.
