5 Most downloaded CAWs in WWE 2K17
WWE 2K17 aims to bring the best wrestling gaming experience to users with a roster full of wrestlers present in WWE’s stable of Superstars. Some Superstars though end up being excluded from the game as they are introduced to the WWE after the planning and development stage of the game has been completed.
In order to compensate for such exclusions and also allow gamers to make their own, personalised wrestlers, the 2K series introduced in its games the Create A Wrestler (CAW) feature. This feature allows gamers to not only recreate their favourite wrestlers who have missed out on the video game rosters but also make wrestling avatars of celebrities and pop culture figures.
This feature has previously seen wrestlers like Hulk Hogan and Chris Benoit being created and made available for download to the entire 2K17 community, in spite of them not being in the WWE as wrestlers.
The CAW feature has also seen celebrities and superheroes earn their wrestling stripes. The President of the United States of America, Donald Trump is one such icon who has made his debut in the virtual WWE 2K17 ring.
Other popular CAWs include stars like Batman, Superman, Goku and so on. The CAWs are available for download to any member of the 2K community and are often downloaded thousands of times.
With a myriad variety of iconic wrestlers and characters on the CAW list, we list out those WWE 2K17 CAWs which are most downloaded by users of the game series.
#1 Maryse
Maryse is the real-life wife and manager of WWE wrestler, The Miz, and her appearances in the WWE are restricted to roles in that capacity. Her fans were obviously unhappy with the two-time Divas Champion’s role on WWE 2K17 being restricted to managerial duties, and a community user, LatrellGames decided to take matters into his own hands by creating an active wrestling Maryse CAW.
Maryse is given an overall rating of 81, which is certainly on the higher side when compared to other wrestlers in the Women’s Division and is on an equal footing with Nia Jax, who is one of the better fighters in this category.
In spite of the 2K series’ recurring problems with hair modelling accuracy, the Maryse CAW commendably bears an uncanny resemblance to her real life version.
The Maryse CAW seems to be an impressive fighter compared to her peers. Versatile in the ring, Maryse’s abilities include Taunting, Dirty Pin, Ring Escape and Pin Combo, among others.
Her physical attributes are all rated 70 or above with strength, stamina and arm power being her strongest points with ratings of above 70. Such a combination of in-ring ability and impressive physical attributes make her a fearsome opponent in WWE 2K17.
