Difficulty Levels: What do they affect?

[Steven547]

Just like the topic says, what exactly is affected by adjusting the difficulty levels? I'm trying to get good sliders...If ALL the Legend difficulty does, is increase the reversals, then I know to tune down the AI Reversals, in which case, I will be just playing on HARD difficulty.

So the question as mentioned, is, what exactly do the difficulty selections affect with the CPU? Does it make the CPU more aggressive? Is it only an increase in reversals? Does the CPU get a "boost" to his stats so he lasts longer?

Does anyone know what these affect?

Thanks.

Haven't played around with the sliders much ,but the only thing I can see the difficulty affected is the toughness of your opponents. It seemed to take forever on Legend to wear down a body part wear on normal it didn't take nearly as long to wear down the legs and lock in a submission.

I would say the two main differences i see is the frequency of reversals and the cpu just shoots back up from the mat on legend.

The reversals aren't an issue for me because i still win around 60-70% even though the cpu always reverses my signatures but the way the cpu just gets straight back up on legend is pretty annoying.

It happens on hard to but they stay down a bit longer, Legend makes limb targeting on the ground a chore simply because by the time you get to the body part you want to work rather than targeting a limb your wrestler will try to pick up the opponent and the cpu will counter it.

As i mentioned about signatures i will also add that they seem to reverse every one of my comebacks to, they dont stay dazed long enough and thats even when you kick the **** out them lol.

Still love the game but they need to find a way to slow the game down a bit too.

Re: Difficulty Levels: What do they affect?

Things I've noticed

- The AI is a bit more aggressive
- They seem slightly harder to reverse
- They kick out MUCH more frequently
- I cannot get them to submit no matter how damaged they are (even in red or bloodied) unless it's a finishing move
- They reverse MUCH more frequently, but this the triple true for finishers (getting three finishers taken per match is not uncommon).
