I am a huge wrestling dork and was really excited like I am every year when the new SvR comes out and year after year I end up highly disappointed with the effort that goes into the WWE games. Its seems like for the last decade the series has become stagnant while there are some good ideas in this one I worry that as usual they will replace the good with the bad or stay stagnant next time the series releases.
Pros: The one thing I must say is though it is somewhat repetitive the WWE universe mode is a really good idea that was kinda in the series along time ago but was instead replaced with the road to Wrestlemania. I like the fact that you can have an endless career and keep building your characters up and put everyone on whatever show you like. Another pro is little by little evry year the create a finisher keeps expanding to include more.
Cons: While the WWE universe mode is a great idea I would like to see them incorparate a way to get new wrestlers in the later years and have some wrestlers retire and make it your job to stock the WWE. Maybe in next years version they can do a WWE universe with an NXT component during every year giving you about ten guys you can sign if you see potential much like Madden does their draft classes. Another major bone I always have to pick with this game is that the roster is no where near current. I would say at least 30 percent of the main roster is not even in the WWE anymore. I know there are roster updates coming but you have to pay for them and it still is not the entire roster instead it is split up in between two dlc with about 10 guys and divas total. This to me is uncalled for if every major sports game can give out the new rosters at release wwe should be able to do the same. The create a finisher mode is a good concept but the moves come out jerky and twitchy not being smooth at all. The gameplay is ok but I would like to see a hot streak where you chain certain signature moves together like the real matches do
