What does adding or removing the question mark in sentences ending with ね change about the meaning, if anything?
If you inflect your voice, you are generally seeking support/approval or
outright asking a question in a casual way.

A response to seeking support would not be inflected.

> A: 暑いですね？  
>  B: ですね。

*note: the response would usually drop all the understood parts of the sentence.

*note: this is scratching the surface of the nuances of ね.

answer
The question mark signifies that you are asking the opinion of a person on
something you accept as fact While only ね makes the sentence a statement you
are saying that you think is a fact 暑いですね means 'It sure is hot,' 暑いですね？ means
'It sure is hot, isn't it?'
