I did this with Legends of Wrestemania and it was a blast). Speaking of LOW, that was the last wrestling game I truly enjoyed. That game, to me, was pretty balanced and I liked the QTE for finishers and other chain moves. Are you still enjoying the matches against the CPU? Also, how responsive are the sliders?

Trade in NHL 12 for it

Someone from caws had this question


So to clarify, adding any major title to both brands will result in people competing for it on both shows, or is it just the Undisputed Championship? Reading the original post, it sounds as though it could happen with any title as long as you assign it to both shows, but I just want to be sure.

I haven't tried it, but considering that happens with both of the other titles assigned to both brands -- tag teams and divas -- it stands to reason that it would occur regardless of the championship.

It's my understanding that all first-run copies of the game will include a code to download the Rock, regardless of where you purchase. I'm sure someone else on here could give a more definite answer, but that's what I seem to recall hearing.

I'm seeing wake up taunts all the time. Usually that's how I know the AI has a finisher, when I see the wake up taunt. Of course, by then it's too late (although I have reversed a finisher before).

As for comeback moments, I haven't seen any from the AI -- but in fairness I don't know if I've had a match against an opponent who has the comeback ability. I have had several comeback moments, but have yet to pull one off successfully. The AI is pretty good as reversing them (or else I'm really bad at hitting the buttons at the correct time).

When I play later today I'll make a point to wrestle guys who have comeback moments and see how often they happen.

It sounds like people are really confused by the possible "brands". I keep seeing people posting FCW and AWA. The only options are Raw, Smackdown, NXT, Free Agent, Legend, and NXT. You can turn a show into AWA or FCW, but there is no such thing as an AWA roster.

And it is good to see you can destroy the brand extension, but it probably won't work the way I'd want. I would have the WWF and Euro title on one show and the WWF and IC on another show, but the problem is, I bet that the crossover talent never competes for those minor titles. So your IC title would only ever be defended on one show and not the other.
