Holy crap is this game hard. I love it.

I've played probably fifteen matches and lost probably six or seven of them. I did, however, manage to Defeat the Streak on just my second try with Shawn Michaels. I basically just pummeled him with chair shots and stair strikes, survived no less than six finishers (four tombstones and two Hell's Gates; all but one were outside and I managed to use resiliency to kick out after the tombstone in the ring). Hit him with a super kick and pinned him much to my surprise.

I am really digging Wrestlemania mode so far too. I just completed the Hogan/Andre match. The presentation is fantastic. The game is such a challenge!

Also, odd quirk -- did they remove DX theme and movie from the game? Not a huge deal, but odd that they would since it was there last year.

I'm shocked how much the gameplay has improved.

- Legend difficulty is the real deal. I play on legend every year and I almost NEVER lose. I lost 8 of my 1st 10 matches today.

-CPU knows how to set up their finishers. example: Macho Man hit his signature move and went straight to the top rope to hit the elbow finisher. In the same match: Macho man hit his signature again but I was blocking the nearest turbuckle....so he climbed on to the apron and ran along it to the top rope to hit the elbow...I was shocked.

-The pin system is superb. Lots of 2 counts. The pin system is finally tied logically to damage. You have to really concentrate to kick out of finishers late in a match.

-The new character movement animations look and feel nice. All of the animations for damaged body parts is new also.

-30 years of WM is epic. They even recreated the promos for certain matches.

-Being able to set attires to random in Universe mode is a nice touch.

-Rivalries work well in Universe mode.

The new sound effects (not counting commentary) are nice. Weapon sounds, vocal taunts, and the way the mat sounds during slams is good.

-There are small glitches but this is the most polished WWE game by far.

I could report more but I'm going to get back to playing.

DX theme and movie are used for HBK's WM 23 entrance I believe...

Macho Man is kicking my ***. 5 straight losses in Wrestlemania 3 haha

Well some funky stuff has started in my Universe

The last 3 PPV events it keeps having PTP vs 3MB but splitting up the teams, Titus/Heath vs Darren/Junder and so on. I went into teams and Allies/Rivals and everything is normal.

Also the WWE champ and Heavyweigt champ are mid card fights and the Intercontinental title has been the Main event for the last 3 PPV

Haven't touched Universe Mode, since I rented the game first before buying it. Like others, I'm really impressed with the reversal timing learning curve and the A.I.

So far, I've only experienced one glitch. In the HBK/Razor match, apparently I went for the Razor's Edge at the same time the game initiated a WM moment, so after the video, Razor ended up under the ring. You could see his hair. HBK was just rolling around the ring and in a crazy position, so I had to reset the match.

My only complaint with the game so far is that they haven't touched CAS, and it's pretty much all the same options and glitches as we've seen the past few years. I thought this would be a game-breaker for me coming into playing the game, but tbh, the improvements make up for my gripe.

More little issues

Both elimination chamber matches the Kings say "_____" is in the royal rumble, or same line adding we know that music, when no music plays. But he keeps saying royal rumble

[ILLCHILL]

First match, wanted to pummel Tensai with The Shield in a 3-on-1, but mistakenly picked Tensai as the human player. But for some reason, Reigns started annihilating the ref and I won by DQ after getting rocked for like 60 seconds.

So I figured I'd do the real deal, picked Brock to beat Taker's streak. Awesome match, was about to F5 him after fall-away-slamming him through the announce table. But he caught me in Hell's Gate and I tapped. Awesomeness.

I also just tried to defend the streak, got to 24, and Y2J pinned me with, of course, his legs on the ropes. Prick!
