And it really is a pain to play this video game. Before this game was even out in the market, there had been speculations that the roster will be disappointing. It was not disappointing. It was very ugly.
There were very few tag teams and cruiserweights in the game which makes the championship belts almost useless. That is, unless, you get to create a ton of created wrestlers, which will take you a while to build their stats up since you cannot (unless you want to) have a cruiserweight wrestler get beat up by Mickie James.
The women’s division is ok, but, it still has some flaws. Take Kelly Kelly for example. I cannot recall her having any match before this game was announced. Maria, on the other hand, has been improving her skills by getting into diva matches on Raw, she has participated in more matches than any of the extreme expose yet she is not included in the game. Brian Kendrick and Paul London are better athletes than some of the present wrestlers in this game, but they were not included. Cryme Tyme was included. For what reason? They were rarely in a match and their primary role on Raw was simply being clowns.
It is frustrating when your opponent reverses your finisher and you have to start to build momentum again, using the same moves over and over because now the players only have eight strong grapple moves, two ultimate control moves and four quick grapples. Last year, it was 16 strong grapple moves, four ultimate grapple moves and four quick grapples.
They should have eliminated the stamina effect, or at least made it automatic. The creators of this game wanted more realism. So, since when did William Regal reverse all of Batista’s strong grapple attempts? One thing that the creators should think about is that professional wrestling is scripted (not fake, scripted). But in the video game world, it is not scripted; therefore there should be some adjustments that need to be made when thinking about being realistic.
