Ways the SD series has gone backwards

[goh]

So after my week rental is up I thought I'd go over all the stuff we used to have and be able to do but don't anymore for some reason...

The #1 complaint about the new one seems to be no difficulty option in career mode.

Career mode itself,it seems to be done a lot like SD 2 but that still had stories.

Having to go through career to get CAW points instead of just say,finishing RtW stories and getting infinte points to hand out.

I believe there's less CAW slots than the peak ammount.

Females can't participate in any special matches anymore.

When trying to put something on a CAW's pants and top (for females) they have that stupid censor blur thing. I understand the original purpose of this to prevent online antics however after changing it so if you have anything on your CAW you can't use them online that makes it pointless.

You can't break the glass in the EC anymore.

You can't throw anyone into the corners in the EC.

You can't do a move off the top of the chamber onto a laying oppent because without fail every time,no matter what the last move was or how damaging it was they will get up the second you hit the button to get on top of the chamber.

You can't stack tables anymore.

You can't stand on regular tables anymore and do a normal grapple/finisher,this only applies to the announce tables now.

You can't put people on tables anymore.

You can't pull out tables from under the ring anymore unless it's an extreme rules match.

In what has to be considered a non-advancement,there's still only a low number of weapons available in a match,still none at all for HIAC or cage. On the PS2 you were able to use GS/CB/AR codes to have up to 20 tables and ladders,significant frame rate droppage occurs at 15 and you could also have a TLC in a cell match or ladder in a cage and all kinds of crazy stuff like that. It's clearly doable and they haven't done it.

Can't throw tables/ladders anymore.

Speaking of TLC I don't believe you can have a match in wich you have to get the belt anymore. (I'm not sure if that was there to begin with?)

Don't get to climb the sets anymore.

No more brawling through the whole arena/city in the falls count anywhere matches.

No more breaking the HIAC walls.

Setting the ladder against the ropes/the other ladder. (I don't think that's there anymore but I'm not sure)

Well that's all I can think of for now,I want all this stuff back!

Re: Ways the SD series has gone backwards

Thought I'd bump this up as there's someone here to actually listen to it now. I think maybe 1 or 2 of these things was fixed in the games since. Feel free to add to it,especially with last years game because I don't remember what went backwards in that,if anything. I'm pretty sure it's still not friendly to having multiple CAWs. Used to fill up all 30 slots,now it's a pain to make 5.

Also I miss the ranking screen from the old SD games,not sure if it was 1 & 2 or just 1.

wow, I didn't realize it was from 2008 while I was reading it. Most if not all of that could be said for this years game.

Re: Ways the SD series has gone backwards

Yup...scary ain't it?

At least we can sort of stack tables (just not in the way we used to),put people on them and females can participate in some special matches. Small improvement.
