However, it still has some issues that will only be fixed by a near complete overhaul. Much like the in-ring production, WWE 2K17 has improved on a number of things. However, as the television production changed over time, the game has almost mimicked it. Wandering around the arenas, making your own path to the top, it always kept me engrossed. Particularly when you got to actually control a brand, or at least follow a story of your own.
The Smackdown vs Raw series was, for me, the best sports games around. A little over a decade later I've seen a little and the production is arguably the best it's been in a long time.Įven during the period of not watching wrestling, the games were a part of my life. I loved the theatrics, but around 2005 I stopped watching. The 'please, don't try this at home' warnings were consistently ignored. Stone Cold, The Rock, Chris Jericho, Kurt Angle and so many more were part of my life growing up. I used to love wrestling, but I can't exactly say I'm a fan now.
