I haven't tried WWE 2K17 but I have played 2K16 on my PS4 and so far, it feels extremely repetitive and boring compared to many other WWE games of the past(though not as bad as 2K15, where it had even less game content than 2K16). WWE 2K16 just doesn't feel interactive enough(gameplay-wise) with the wrestling environment and almost all the wrestlers feel like they have the same exact moves(aside from their taunts and finishers). I, to this very day, still believe Smackdown Here Comes the Pain was the very best pro wrestling game ever made IMO with it's amount of content and interactivity it had for it's time, despite it's unrealistic, arcadey feel. I don't mind the newer WWE games aiming to be a more realistic wrestling simulation game but the least 2K Sports and Yukes can do is add a few more wrestling specialty matches/modes, add more out-of-the-ring and in-the-ring interactivity(for instance, slamming an opponent's face onto the barricade repeatedly, like in Smackdown vs Raw 2007), make the gameplay a little more fast-paced, make the controls a little more simple(and less frustrating) and make all the playable wrestlers actually standout with completely different wrestling moves instead of giving them all the chain wrestling moves.
