This is from another message board, I thought I'd post over here & get you guys thoughts:

Actually they have changed the control style this year , you basically control the moves with the analog stick , they have added those "hot spots" which could make the game even better ,

However by creating the new control style there might be a problem with the move-sets for certain wrestlers, for example it will be ridicules if Triple H would have a similar move-sets as the Undertaker because they are both leveled as Heavyweights (you should watch the gameplay movies you will understand what I mean)

Right, because HHH doesn't do powerbombs, but Taker does. I think there needs to be superstar & move specific counters, for example:

Scenario #1: HBK does sweet chin music on Rey, Rey ducks the kick, HBK is is dazed for a split second after missing the kick. He then turns around directly into a drop toehold & 619.

Scenario #2: HBK does sweet chin music on Kurt Angle, Kurt catches the kick & sweeps the other leg putting HBK in the anklelock.

Scenario #3: HHH attempts pedigree on Kane, Kane back body drops HHH.

Scenario #4: HHH attempts pedigree on RVD, HHH hooks the arms a drops down but RVD blocks it by doing a split.

Scenario #5: HHH attempts pedigree on Paul London, London hooks HHH's legs & rolls him into a pin (like HBKs Reversal he used to win in the elimination chamber)

AI AI AI!

Thats really the only major flaw still present in this series. I only play vs the CPU and the AI just isn't very intelligent no matter what you do with the sliders. Raising the difficult only seems to increase counters and decrease the amount of time the CPU stays down.

Otherwise, I only have minor issues that I'd like to see fixed. One of them would be a more robust reversal system like the one you outlined Entiel. Every wrestler should have a finisher counter where if they have a stored finisher and counter someone else's finisher they perform a finishing move.

They also need to adjust the impact of some weapons and finishing moves. I hate it when I perform a finishing move on an opponent already in Red and he gets up before I can even pin him. It's a bit difficult executing top rope moves on downed opponents as a result. Getting hit in the face with a sledgehammer should have a similar result. More weapons grapples need to be added as well, as that hasn't changed for a couple of years.

Table matches need a lot of tweeking as well. In a tables match, it should be a rare occasion to put your opponent through a table before an area of his body is damaged red. I'd also like to see table finishers like the (few)casket finishers they had in the last game. It work the same way: whip opponent to the table to have him groggy and leaning on the table, then perform your finisher (or roll the opponent fully onto the table for a different move).

Yeah,

Super Irish Whip, puts them on the table
Regular Whip, groggy against table (just like when one is groggy against the barricade). Like Misfit just said, when nothing's in red they should reverse everytime (in matches where the table will end the match). AI should be a little different or IMPROVED should I say. Every heel doesn't go for a weapon when they can't win. This Clean & Dirty Thing sucks, In a hardcore match RVD can't use weapons, that sucks every weapon move can't be dirty & every hi spot can't be clean! This should be character specific. If RVD does the Van Terminator, the chrowd is not going to boo, If Chavo does a frog splash they are not going to cheer....

I know that the game is for the next gen systems and is being ported down this year but isn't this the third control scheme in the last 4 years?!

STICK TO ONE CONTROL SCHEME PEOPLE!!!
