    I enjoy the game play and the roster depth. However, I am someone who does a universe where I do cpu vs cpu and I watch the matches. Matches are just too long. Guys do not go for pins near as often as they should.

      This game is like a damn drug. I haven't loved a wrestling game so much in a long long time. I feel like a crack head.

        Same here. I 've done a lot. Changed all difficulties and everything. Matches are still too long and they go outside ring too often.

          Haven't tried it in universe but regular play now type of CPU vs CPU matches last about 6 to 8 minutes. Even the Hell in the Cell matches. To me that is too fast and pretty boring to watch because they do basic moves and rarely seem to do a signature move. And for some reason just like last year, the CPU will do 6 eye rakes in a row. I was quite disappointed that CPU vs CPU matches they treat every match like it is a regular match.

          No holds barred, Extreme Rules, Steel Cage, Hell in a Cell, etc. I guess expect them to be more violent, use chairs and other weapons more in those type of matches. Don't give nothing but suplexes and snapmares.

          Playing against the CPU is better since as the USER you can mix up the action yourself. If you rely on the CPU then you will see the same moves over and over again. I probably end up editing the moves again for I can see more variety. Seem like everybody got the same kind of default moves. I would like to see the power guys use power moves a lot more, high fliers use more acrobatic type of moves.

          Don't like chain wrestling, never did, so I immediately turn that off. Submission system is inconsistent. Some times I can have the CPU color bar covered for a long time, no submission, CPU have my bar covered for 3 seconds, instant submission, I was like WTF ?

          Pin falls.......yeah not a fan of that meter. I haven't won a match yet because of it. CPU seem to kick out of every finisher I did so far. And I have finishers slider maxed out. It is like they don't do enough damage. But yet the CPU can do a BS fireman carry or snapmare and pin me immediately afterwards and get the 3 count. The 1st two pin attempts are easy to kick out of, but beyond that it is damn near impossible to kick out because the meter be so tiny to land on.

          I am impressed with the roster over all, but they are missing quite a bit of famous old school wrestlers. Might be in a future DLC.

          I would love to see the following in a DLC:

          RVD
          Sid Vicious
          The Sandman
          Sabu
          Demolition tag team
          The Road Warriors tag team
          Doom tag team - Ron Simmons & Butch Reed
          Harlem Heat tag team - I think they are future DLC
          The Head Shrinkers tag team
          Mr Perfect
          Val Venis
          Big Bossman
          Steve Blackman (How they have Ken Shamrock in the game and not his biggest rival ?)
          Kurt Angle - 1990s version
          Tommy Dreamer
          Dean Malenko
          Goldberg
          Hakushi
          The Hardy Boys tag team
          The Steiner Brothers tag team

          But beyond all that, I would give the game a 9 out of 10. The best WWE game in a long time.

              Both. Create a Show and pair the arena to it.

                  Is there a trick to climbing the ropes? I hold the button and my guy always seems to stop on the middle buckle.

                  Finally won a couple of matches tonight (Normal difficulty) after starting out losing to Bo Dallas as The Rock (ouch). Finn Balor (demon paint) took down Zack Ryder and then I replayed the WM 31 main event. Boy is it fun using Brock Lesnar; he's got a nice array of suplexes and throws. I totally dominated Roman Reigns and took my time in doing so.

                  Edit: should add that in both victories, I only had to hit my finisher once to score the 3-count.

                  I'm going to check out Universe Mode tomorrow. I know there are a few bugs right now, but I'm not too concerned with them.

                    I don't have the game but doesn't charged finishers do more damage than a regular finisher? Are they kicking out of a charged finisher often?

                      This submission system has me completely flustered. The online manual does a terrible job of explaining how it works and the words don't match with the action(s). Read the 2K forums and of course we got the "GET GUD" crowd, yet I haven't seen one single video showing their elite skills.

                        Yeah I was never good at submissions in UFC 3 or in EA's UFC. And it's strange because it's not that hard a concept to grasp. All you have to do is if you are the red bar try and overlap the blue bar and if you are the blue bar you stay away from the red bar. But it's difficult trying to actually get the CPU to submit. Maybe we have to actually work the body part to orange or red damage?

                          If you work the body part to orange or red OR the opponent just has very low health, their bar becomes larger and it's easier to keep your bar touching theirs.

                          I promise that's not sexual innuendo and just a piece of advice.

                              My goodness they made Stephanie McMahon very powerful in this game. The moves she has will knock the wind out of an opponent.
