Just like previous years, I'm gathering a list of the most prominent issues in WWE 2K17, to help developers identify them and address them in future patches. I will also keep the list updated when something gets fixed in a patch.
 
You can contribute to the thread by posting any additional bug, glitch or issue you have experienced. Please be as descriptive as possible and see if you can replicate your issue to make sure it was not a one-time occurrence. 2K Sports has also a way to allow you to directly report issues to them at this link: http://support.2k.com/home
 
GAMEPLAY

• [AFTER 1.03] The pin meter is glitched when playing local couch multiaplayer. The meter stop is delayed after pressing X, as if you're playing online with lag.
• Hell In A Cell: You can no longer slam an opponent through the roof on top of the Hell in A Cell and make him go fall down to the ring
• You can't execute a Running Dive from inside to the outside of the ring after bouncing off the ropes
• "Phantom Objects": Sometimes during matches it seems that the game forgets that an object/weapon is there: they become unmovable and lose their physics (wrestlers can walk through them).
• The feature of the ref checking on injured wrestlers might make the game hang with both superstars not being able to move anymore
• Sometimes superstars/CAS perform the generic arm-raise Crowd Taunt that is NOT assigned to them in Custom Moveset
• There is no weapon wheel in Last Man Standing Matches or Extreme Rules matches
• There is no physics interaction/collision detection with steel steps
• You can't simply strong irish whip people over the barricade to send them into the crowd area
• In Women's ladder matches, you can't push the ladder over. No matter how much you or the CPU mashes O/B, the ladder can't be knocked over.
• You can't pick up opponents with their back facing you (issue from 2K16, needs confirmation if fixed this year?)

WWE UNIVERSE MODE

• All Universe mode Iron Man matches are 15 minutes, regardless of setting.
• Separate Save Slots Not Unique: Universe Attributes & Default Attires selection are not unique to save slots but are shared between all slots
• When setting up a match, the selection screen lists every wrestler in the game. It should only list the wrestlers eligible to appear on the show you're editing, or at least have an option to filter the others out.
• You can't assign permanent Managers to superstars like you can do in Exhibition/MyWWE
• You can't make double-title matches (where two champions face each other with the winner getting both championships)
• Editing a Royal Rumble Match partecipants causes the winner to not get a Championship Match at Wrestlemania.

CREATION - SUPERSTAR

• When stretching logos/designs too wide they fade into transparency and distort (same issue as 2K16 and 2K15)
• You can't add superstars tattoos on CAS anymore.

CREATIONS - OTHERS

• Highlight Reel: There is no option to hide the encoding menu/panel when going into the Highlight Reel menu during a match
• If you create an alt. attire for Demon Finn Balor (and set it as alt. attire) he will not come out to his Demon Entrance
• In Create A Show, in the Transition Design section you can't change the Color Variation of the Custom Graphics (like you can for Replay/Nameplate/Match-up)
• In Create An Entrance, if you edit use Advanced Edit, you lose the "special effects" that each entrance motion has, for example you lose the water coming out of Triple H mouth, the lights of Chris Jericho's jacket, Sheamus screaming "Fella", etc.
• In Create A Video, there is always about 1 second of black screen automatically inserting itself between clips
• When using a Custom Arena, if you use someone like Chris Jericho '01 or Big Show '00, the nameplates will show "Chris Jericho '01" instead of just "Chris Jericho". Doesn't do it in any of the default arenas so it's a problem in created ones.
• In Create A Moveset, the standard Slingshot Crossbody to the outside is missing, being replaced by another Corskcrew Crossbody animation

ONLINE / COMMUNITY CREATIONS

• Community Creations search doesn't work properly, it returns unrelated results
• Missing Feature: Community Creations does not feature sharing of Custom Videos, which could be used to share titantrons or show intros

PRESENTATION

• Wrestlers are invisible during victory scenes and Universe Cutscens if they're using an alternate attire. This seems to be similar to the 2K16 bug.
• Custom Titles appear invisible during Victory Scenes/Universe Cutscenes
• It can occur for non-champion Superstars to enter with titles they don't actually have assigned
• Entrance Attire Props: If you use alt. attires of Superstars that have "dynamic" props during the entrance, they lose that functionallity. For example, AJ Styles hood on his jacket stays always on top with an edited attire. Or Rick Rude will remove his robe only to have another one underneath. Or Sasha Banks will have two sets of glasses.
• Championship belts during entrances will still go over jackets instead of under them when using alt. Attires of Superstars, but also for in-game ones like AJ Styles, Rusev, Sasha.
• Break Out Skin Glitch: Breaking out during certain entrances causes the attacker's skin color to glitch out, "retaining" the lighting of the entrance on him (for example, breaking out during Nakamura entrance might cause the Superstar to turn black for the whole match)
• The in-game Raw & Smackdown Opening Intro video files have a couple of seconds of black screen before the intro starts, causing the intro video to be off sync with the intro music. 
• Screen tearing: The game has frame rate and vsync problems. The image refresh keeps tearing the screen in half during frames
• Long Hair Glitch: Graphical glitches with long haired wrestlers like Triple H '01, Edge, Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart.

MISCELLANEOUS

• Can't change arena for backstage brawl matches in 'play mode', all matches take place on RAW. Wouldn’t be a problem as it all takes place backstage but the loading screens and replays are all for RAW. Also the screen in the Gorilla Position is always RAW.
• Arena selection is unavailable for Royal Rumble/Elimination Chamber
• If you go backstage and then return to the arena, the 5-star match rating gets reset to 0
• You can't export your CAS from MyCareer (issue from 2K16, needs confirmation if fixed this year?)

AUDIO

• During a Royal Rumble Match, the crowd does not count along with the 10 second countdown before each entry
• Ring announcements have several issues, with incorrect lines and voice overs being all mashed up especially during title match introductions with both in-game and custom titles.
• Sometimes in title announcements in the ring, instead of saying "Introducing the Challenger..." she'll say "Making his way to the ring, the Challenger...." when they're clearly standing already in the ring.
• Lilian announces the winner of a title match as the NEW Champion even if the previous champion retained the title
• When moving from the Arena to Backstage, the commentary thinks a reversal just happened, triggering a reversal sound byte

• Gameplay: Fixed issues with various corner comeback moves not being able to be performed

[Hayterade]

If you add Kane's mask to 1998 Undertaker (because I wanted to make his 1995-1996 masked attire), it won't show up and will only show the back of his head.

[lee1302]

my countdown timer keeps resetting and wont give me my 20 downloads back been like that since thursday

[Loves2Spoon]

Can we list the Authority challenges as a bug or something? Like I had to win by DQ in a no DQ match... This can't be right. I also had a weird bug where my move required the guy to flip around instead he kept stomping on him over and over

[zrc]

Last gen glitches (not sure if these are in the current gen version).

* The Elbow Drop assigned to Braun (basic ground move) and Earthquakes signature has no animations. They just stand there doing nothing, if you attempt it.

* Invisible Ref (glitch thats been in since 2009!)

* Lilians ridiculous announcing.

* Can't edit Summer Rae's lower half of her top in Superstar Threads.

* The Empress Combination is listed under a Back Suplex in the moveset section. The Back Suplex is listed under the Empress Combination.

* The Superkick everyone seems to have, has been increased in speed. So looks even more ridiculous than usual.

* Jason Jordan is white .

Will add more later.

Someone once told me "Don't count all your chickens before they hatch" and the other day I was just telling someone that it seemed like nobody had been complaining about glitches...yet here I am reading this topic and I'm glad that I didn't have my entire Universe mode erased or some other unfortunate bug cast a black cloud on the game before buying it. I'll update this post with anything related to this discussion later on but I'm just sort of stepping back and noticing that these lists don't necessarily get shorter over the years, do they? Some things get fixed causing new problems to spring up. :-|

lol yeah i mean there's issues, but i will say this, universe flows alot better this year. check the custom videos and show intros thread i created a few days ago. my first raw show has been posted on there and a custom wcw nitro show intro vid all done with 2k17 and a little help from sharefactory (ps4) not excusing these issues one bit especially when they said removing showcase helped them divert more time to these modes but i will say i am having a blast lol

Andy, i appreciate your dedication, and i know you do still hold an account over at 2k but i will tell you that they will only read stuff on their own forums.  it sucks and it's stupid but that's what's been happening the last 2 or so games. in fact when Aubrey and Jared first became Community managers i suggested both come here to check out the glitch threads and they blew me off. but i'm glad you posted this. just wanted to give you a heads up

Yeah, I must say that despite all the bugs, I still feel like the positives outweight the negatives. The improvements made throughout all game modes have been huge and I've actually been surprised at some of the attention to detail that I noticed in the various areas.

 

As far as 2K only reading on their own forums, don't worry about that, I'm directly in contact with developers so I send this their way myself.

yeah i love the game lol

and that's good to know. please just let them know that despite what people say on their forums, to not remove the show intros .. again... LOL

[Loves2Spoon]

Am I the only one who has like a weird black spot on the screen? Its like above the center of the mat.

[K Money]

The "Tag Team" match glitch in Universe Mode INFURIATES me. Like "Hey, sorry, buddy, I can't tag you in and lose human control of the match; but just keep standing there..."

 

Then another Universe Mode match on my "Legends" show ended with Lita just standing there and smirking triumphantly over a failed Stephanie. (This of course means that it didn't display the results screen or give me VC credits, or even let me advance to the next match. No; I backed out of the game, closed the application, and played the exact same match for the EXACT same thing to happen).

 

Honestly, I wonder what exactly this game was doing BEFORE that massive 11 GB update that took me a good couple of days to download...

Edited by K Money, 26 October 2016 - 08:31 PM.

[dubbltrubbl798]

before 1.01 update finn balor's demon attire pieces with the extra blue color was available for CAW. After the update the blue attire options are gone. 

[zrc]

Another patch has been submitted to Sony & Microsoft. Will be interesting to see what's been fixed.

[GhostFan]

I had an issue when I use the rainbow shine material (the bottom one) in CAW but then it'd a solid color during gameplay.

Overall, the game plays pretty loose and wonky.

[Pete Robinson]

Has anyone else noticed, during a tag team entrance. they say they first name, followed by the tag team name and then the second team member? Or does no one else have this glitch

after the patch 1.01 im actually satisfied with the universe mode ... hope to fix some of the glitch like invisible opponent in cut scenes

[Dean.b]

I have waited soo long for this game to come out. Pre Ordered as soon as it became available. It's virtually unplayable. We need a big patch sooner rather than later. I seems to me that 2k released a unfinished game. It's soo frustrating. I don't want to even start the career mode because of all the problems with the save feature and other problems. And also. I think the NXT Enhancement pack should of been day one DLC as I pre ordered this before the NXT Edition was even advertised which was annoying.

I mentioned this in my first post I made here on the site and I was wondering if I was the only one experiencing this issue with superstars that carry titles. I am getting Lillian saying this, and I will use AJ Styles for my example: "From Gainesville, Georgia, weighing in at, the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, 218 pounds....AJ Styles." Now I play on the ps3 simply cause I don't have the money for a ps4 at the moment. Is this a glitch on all tiers or is this just something I'm experiencing on my own. I downloaded the game from the Playstation Store so I just wanted to make sure that I'm not the only one experiencing this.

[FrickinAwesome]

I'm experiencing a major graphical glitch with the Hair Dye. I wanted my character to have black hair, but the hair style I selected was coming out graying, so I covered it in hair dye. Then, I realized I got some on the facial hair, so I went in to try and reset, but now it just looks like static. Has anyone else experienced this?

[Mexiftw]

If you have an OMG moment as the same position as your finisher, you can't perform the finisher at all. Which makes the separating of OMG and finisher controls useless.
