I have been skipping wrestling games since my sega saturn but I decided to pick this up and I must say I really enjoy it alot. Despite the criticisms of RTWM I actually quite like it. It breaks it up to not just be match after match. I think everything just "feels" about right and the matches have a real organic quality to them that I am just loving. If I could change anything it would be to add additional sliders, particularly a timing slider for the reversal window. I have to play on easy because I am clearly getting old and my reflexes are terrible...so a timing slider or a slower game speed would be aces. Great fun though...they seem to have the balance of "simulation" and "fun" pretty well struck.

Here is my main struggle though...I still have not figured out how deep the grappling system is because I am not sure I understand it. Can someone explain exactly what I am supposed to do during a grapple though? I understand using the right stick to reposition and I can do the limb targeting. What about a basic grapple move though? Am I supposed to hit the button to grapple and let go. Once in the grapple, do I move the left stick in a direction and hit the grapple button again quickly and will the direction I move the stick change the attack I do? Sorry for what seems like a simple question but it always seems like it is the same move unless I limb target. It is the basics that seem to be escaping me.

If it's for 360, I will take it.

I just wanna thank THQ, for this time machine that makes feel like I'm in fourth grade playing Wrestlemania 2000 for the first time. Great graphics, realism is top-notch, and I'm not going to lie the graphics were jaw-dropping the first time I fired it up (Punk's tats are perfect, some look better than real life). This is definitely the type of wrestling game that is going to have a ton of replayability when CAWs start getting released. Can't wait to start my universe today.

Yeah being out of date is something I've been accustomed to with wrestling games, the actual product just changes too quickly for any video game to keep up with.

WWE 12's team did a pretty damn good job to at least get Punk's new theme in there. Kudos.

With no NBA this year it was hard to get into NBA 2k12. WWE Universe will be my season mode of choice this Winter.

[DorneyDave86]

Universe mode is addicting if you have a decent imagination and can add your own storylines in your head.

I've reformed the Corporation with the idea Vince was mad about being fired so he took Del Rio, Miz, Ziggler and Swagger and made his new stable.

It's been a blast.

Other feuds I have going...

CM Punk / Stone Cold for the Undisputed Title
Cody Rhodes/D Bryan for the old school IC title
Edge/Christian vs. DX

I really dig the presentation for championship matches. They did a wonderful job making those matches feel more important than a regular one.

Had my 1st cage match for number one contender with the rock, Nash, and stone cold. Match was going great till the rock hit me with a rock bottom near the ropes and started to climb out. Nash got stuck Mario running against my body while the rock just climbed out with ease.
