According to NL, the new control changes are extensive and confusing and not good.

I mean this has been true since...what...SvR '07? They just kept adding moves and ways to do moves without thinking that maybe we don't need 20 front grapples to the point you start having to refer to your move list like it's WWF War Zone/Attitude again. WWE 2K19 has like 8 different finisher slots depending on where you are in the ring it's crazy.

This is the first year in a long time though that they’ve changed things like what each button does. Reversals are a face button now which seems very awkward.

loving what. Why. Why any of that. L2/R2 as a reversal system was fine and has been fine for 20+ years why the gently caress :tizzy:

There is no way anybody asked for that specific change.

Any real change to the AI or the flow of matches would have probably been very hard. Changing the button mapping is very easy!

It looks like there’s a $30 “backstage pass” (on top of the $15 monster guys DLC or whatever)

But it sounds like those backstage pass items might just be additional monster guys/arenas in which case it will be +$45 for a bunch of skins

this glorious monument

Reminds me of my stupid booking idea where a Tag Team sells their gimmick rights to the highest seller. The rights are bought by Nabisco and they repackage the team into "The Classic Combination"

"Ice Cold Milk" and "An Oreo Cookie". Complete with the wrestlers wearing really stupid mascot outfits that make it impossible to wrestle properly.

For once the game will not be outdated right away. Wrestlemania 2029 will have LED ring barricades and take place in an arena slightly bigger than Full Sail.

Wrestling games need to be on a fighting game schedule not a sports game schedule. When these games were good they were coming out every few years, not annually.

But too many dullards buy it every year so they’d lose too much money by taking a few years off to make something actually good

Apparently I’m wrong about this because Shut Your Mouth and Here Comes the Pain came out a year apart so they really have no excuse
