WWE 12 Retail Early Impressions

Re: WWE 12 Retail Impressions

I'm hearing from someone else who has the game that there are still some issues with setting up title matches. He tried to set up a tag title match and this message came up "To challenge the Tag Team Champions, you need to be in a formal tag team. This match will be changed to a Non-Title match." I'm going to assume this means that tag teams have to be in a stable to challenge for them? Also the same person is saying that there is a similar problem for singles titles. Can you confirm these things? Seems like we still don't have complete freedom with title matches after all.

Yes, you have to group wrestlers together and form a tag team before they can compete for the titles. You can't just throw two random people together and put them in a tag title match. As far as singles titles, I haven't seen any problems. I've been able to put anyone I want in a title match. What kind of problems is he seeing?

Re: WWE 12 Retail Impressions

Played one game before I had to run into work. Triple Threat Match between Zack Ryder, John Morrison, and R-Truth (me) on default. This game definitely plays better than the last SvR in my opinion straight out of the box.

The match had a couple of nearfalls and barely broken up pins. I hit the lie detector once on Ryder but Morrison broke the pin up and Ryder hit me with three rough ryders and just could not put me away thanks to Morrison. I was finally able to win after Ryder landed a Rough Ryder on Morrison and I snuck him from behind to roll him up for the win. I'll delve more into the game when I get home from work, grocery shopping, errands, etc.

Re: WWE 12 Retail Impressions

All you have to do is pre-order the game.And you got him.
If you don't you won't be able to get him til Jan-Feb time on DLC for $.99.

I don't know how it is this year, but Bret Hart was the exclusive DLC last year, and I DIDN'T preorder the game. I got it from Best Buy, and it had the Bret Hart code with it.

I'm not sure how it is with places like Walmart, where you can't pre-order the game. Maybe they don't get copies with the code in it. But, if Target is advertising that they have the Rock, then maybe Walmart will too.

It's probably similar to 2K12 and the Golden State/Sacramento code that came with the game. It was suggested that you pre-order the game to get the code, and I did for the 360. But, a week later, I bought the PS3 version and the code came with that version as well.

I'd imagine, provided the game doesn't sell out in the first few days, that The Rock code will be in the box. I bought SVR last year online (Thanksgiving sale) and got the Bret Hart code, even though I didn't pre-order.

Isn't the game the same price everywhere the 1st couple of months so if you so concerned about getting the Rock then why take any chances, just order from Best Buy or Gamestop.

No, Target has the game for $47.....and Walmart will price match it with the add.

In another thread, someone posted that Target is selling it for $47 later next week. And Amazon offers a $10 gift card, but you won't get the game for upwards of a week because they seem to have problems getting the game.

Re: WWE 12 Retail Impressions

Walmart DOES have preorder special for The Rock. All you guys have to do is check online at all of the stores you guys have questions about. It's actually quicker to look online than to ask questions in here (and of course get wrong answers)

But if you preorder at Walmart, there was no way to pick it up the day of; everything I found said it would be shipped to your house or to the store on the 22nd, which means you won't get it for a few days. If it is otherwise, it changed in the past couple of weeks since I preordered.

I believe you can pick it up in-store. I have ordered from Walmart in the past and they notoriously give you a different date than the launch date, BUT I have always received the package on the launch date. I don't know why they do that. I ordered from Best Buy in-store pickup (had zone points). DLC/$10 off coupon, etc. included.

Re: WWE 12 Retail Impressions

Since everyone else is talking about this, if I pre-order from Gamestop and did an in store pickup, can I pick it up anytime on Tuesday?

Yeah but so does Best Buy. I've had them price match for various products several times in the past at least in Canada they do. And it's almost guaranteed that Best Buy will have the Rock copies for at least the 1st week because the batches they order will all be preorder copies to cover any late preorders.

You have 48 hours to pick up it up. I even have picked it up on the Monday night if there is a new guy working and doesn't know any better.

Yea, and unless Gamestop is on your way home from work or something like that, I wouldn't waste the gas and take the chance. I'm just picking it up Tuesday night. Mix in some grading and some wrestling over the holiday.

I've already pre-ordered from Best Buy online with in-store pickup, can I still get them to price match Target when I go in and get it on Tuesday?
