WWE 2012 / SvR 2011 Thread 37: Arena Code

[Krimzon]

It seems that I'm one of the few people that actually enjoyed the way DoR opponents kept breaking up your moves. The difference here is that some moves can be broken up with other moves, as seen in the Predator Tech video. All you could do in DoR was punch & kick.

I really hope the CAW mode is better than 2011. All of my guys in 2011 looked like Randy Orton.

[PKO]

I like the fact that you can break up moves, I just hope the AI won't do it ALL the time.

Maybe you have a problem akin to Johah Hill's subconscious addiction to drawing dicks in Superbad. Maybe you're the problem.

Because the WWE doesn't put much emphasis on the Divas, neither should THQ. The last time we had a Diva-specific match was from SvR 06 with the "Fulfill Your Fantasy" match, and while that was perfect for, say, Jerry Lawler, it wasn't exactly "entertaining".

And... let's think about the remaining Divas for a second and be thankful that Rosa Mendes isn't playable.

I remember having a blast with SVR2K7 and there were only 7 divas in that game. For me, I don't see what the big fuss is about since the only divas I care about are Beth and Natalya, and their both in.

I don't see how lower-tier divas like Alicia Fox and Tamina should take preference over legends or even male midcarders.

I see where you're coming from. What really bothers me is the lack of the six diva tag match, which has been shown by players to be perfectly possible, and the lack of options for diva CAWs. That's my main thing.

Nothing new, but the thought of having a straight up serious iron man match for the world title in this ring makes me laugh more then it should.

[Hot Noodle Truck]

You know, every year I tell myself I'm not going to buy the new WWE game. Then I start to see the screen shots, look over the roster and check out the videos. At the end of it all I walk away knowing that I'm going to buy the game day one, no questions asked.

The thing that really agitates me more than anything is the fact that the games used to be somewhat separated from the real life WWE product with puro and lucha moves, and little touches that let you know that you were still playing a video game. That feeling seems to have all but disappeared.

Some Bullet Points:

Hell In A Cell the same as last year
Sin Cara has the Spanish Fly (Top rope flip bottom) and the La Mistica as his finishers
Evan Bourne has a new SSP
Call Name list is 47 pages long
Doomsday Device is in as the LOD's tag team finisher
Difficult A.I.
Movesets are more accurate
Nexus Arm Bands are in CAS
Better crowd this year, but not perfect
Kevin Nash's has his Jacknife Powerbomb
Drew McIntyre has a new Future Shock DDT
RegalPlex is in (It's also a pin combination move)
The Tag Team Champs come out together
You can't climb on the announcers table
The 619 is fully controllable, but hard to do.
No such thing as strong / weak grapples this year
Only 1 stage for Create-An-Arena
Sin Cara's mood lighting cannot be turned off, but it's only for 1 on 1 matches
A lot of old school PPV logos in Create-An-Arena
Some new winning animations added (Might have been title winning animations, unclear)
A lot of finishers have been reanimated
Kane has a new tombstone
Undertaker's comeback "includes the leg drop off the ropes"
Diving moves do not have a pinning combination option
CAWs can have alt attires (Like last year)
Dolph Ziggler has his new theme
There might be a demo
Alex Riley has the TKO and the Lifting DDT as his finishers
You can activate finishers from the corner, like the Punt Kick
Individual letters can be chosen with the Call Name System, ex: I.R.S
Kevin Nash has his sidewalk slam and big boot moves

ok, Sin Cara's mood lighting might actually be kinda nifty to play with

[Starshine]

I like how tag team champions coming aout together is a notable feature now.

f*** the unified titles!

[Chainsaw]

HOORAY LA MISTICA!

BOO NOT BEING ABLE TO CLIMB ON ANNOUNCE TABLES!

HOORAY BEER!

[Hot Noodle Truck]

Ok, I take back what I said before. Not being able to transition to a pin from a top rope move is what really agitates me. It just makes no sense.

f*** yes. I'm gonna teach all those tax cheats online a lesson! Who wants to be DiBiase?

[Deleted]

The corner finishers sound like a tough thing to counter.

Also, no climbing on tables is ridiculous and they should feel embarrassed that it's still not back in the series.

Edit: And they should use the ECW rules match system of picking a weapon from the entrance for every match. After all this time it's getting pretty annoying seeing non-Triple H wrestlers bringing out sledgehammers to every no DQ match.

[Beartato]

No diving pin combos?

Interest. Dropping.

Yes, this is every important to me

[Welfare Willis]

Kinda wish that we could have different arena types and crowd sizes. Nothing like pitting an epic event like Rock vs Hogan vs Jericho in a bingo hall or TNA house show.

[Kev The Omniscient]

Regalplex?! Holy shit! Pin combo, too? Ahhhhh!

Also, the fact that they added a normal, no frills leg drop to the ground grapples pleases me a lot, for some reason. I can't believe it took them so long to put one in.

[Bang Bang Bart]

Making the manual 619 more difficult to do just makes it even more satisfying when you hit it. I like the change.

Also, hooray for Nexus armbands being in for CAWs. Means I won't have to do the cheap way and make a cheap-looking Nexus logo and put it on another armband.

Plus, Call Name list is 47 pages long. Hell yeah.

[Krimzon]

The more that comes out about the game, the quicker I want November to get here! Sin Cara's mood lighting will be tremendous.

And if the Regal Stretch is back & able to submit, I may pass out. That + Regal-Plex = A lot of Regal matches.

[Bang Bang Bart]

No pin combos for diving moves is a bother, though. But regardless of that, I think for me, the goods (Create-An-Arena, improved CAW features, and lots of other things) are outweighing the bad.
