Game modes[edit]
There are a variety of different game modes in WWE 2K17.[16] Unlike previous entries in the 2K series, WWE 2K17 initially didn't feature a single-player story mode in the base game (The Hall of Fame showcase was later added as DLC).
Play mode[edit]
Play mode allows the player to jump into a quick match with their own custom settings like match types, participants, etc.
MyCareer mode[edit]
MyCareer mode allows the player to create their own superstar to compete for championships on the main roster and/or in NXT. MyCareer mode is exclusive to PlayStation 4, PC and Xbox One.
The mode also incorporated the new Promo Engine, so Superstars can express themselves to the WWE Universe and also call out or respond to other WWE Superstars. Backstage interviews with Renee Young take on a whole new dimension with the new backstage brawling gameplay. Now more than ever, how a player competes, reacts, what is said and even what attire is worn can make a difference in a Superstar's journey through the WWE. At some point, players are also likely to come face to face with Brock Lesnar and his advocate, Paul Heyman.
Universe mode[edit]
WWE Universe mode allows the player to create their own WWE shows and pay-per-view events, allowing them to create rivalries, promos (a new feature) and feuds for singles wrestlers and/or tag team wrestlers, and will let them create custom arenas and championship titles.
Creation Suite[edit]
The creation suite allows players to make their own characters, arenas, titles, and more that can be uploaded for other players to download.
Online[edit]
Players can have a variety of different matches with other players online.
