This game is like a damn drug. I haven't loved a wrestling game so much in a long long time. I feel like a crack head.

Same here. I 've done a lot. Changed all difficulties and everything. Matches are still too long and they go outside ring too often.

Haven't tried it in universe but regular play now type of CPU vs CPU matches last about 6 to 8 minutes. Even the Hell in the Cell matches. To me that is too fast and pretty boring to watch because they do basic moves and rarely seem to do a signature move. And for some reason just like last year, the CPU will do 6 eye rakes in a row. I was quite disappointed that CPU vs CPU matches they treat every match like it is a regular match.

No holds barred, Extreme Rules, Steel Cage, Hell in a Cell, etc. I guess expect them to be more violent, use chairs and other weapons more in those type of matches. Don't give nothing but suplexes and snapmares.

Playing against the CPU is better since as the USER you can mix up the action yourself. If you rely on the CPU then you will see the same moves over and over again. I probably end up editing the moves again for I can see more variety. Seem like everybody got the same kind of default moves. I would like to see the power guys use power moves a lot more, high fliers use more acrobatic type of moves.

Don't like chain wrestling, never did, so I immediately turn that off. Submission system is inconsistent. Some times I can have the CPU color bar covered for a long time, no submission, CPU have my bar covered for 3 seconds, instant submission, I was like WTF ?

Pin falls.......yeah not a fan of that meter. I haven't won a match yet because of it. CPU seem to kick out of every finisher I did so far. And I have finishers slider maxed out. It is like they don't do enough damage. But yet the CPU can do a BS fireman carry or snapmare and pin me immediately afterwards and get the 3 count. The 1st two pin attempts are easy to kick out of, but beyond that it is damn near impossible to kick out because the meter be so tiny to land on.

I am impressed with the roster over all, but they are missing quite a bit of famous old school wrestlers. Might be in a future DLC.

I would love to see the following in a DLC:

RVD
Sid Vicious
The Sandman
Sabu
Demolition tag team
The Road Warriors tag team
Doom tag team - Ron Simmons & Butch Reed
Harlem Heat tag team - I think they are future DLC
The Head Shrinkers tag team
Mr Perfect
Val Venis
Big Bossman
Steve Blackman (How they have Ken Shamrock in the game and not his biggest rival ?)
Kurt Angle - 1990s version
Tommy Dreamer
Dean Malenko
Goldberg
Hakushi
The Hardy Boys tag team
The Steiner Brothers tag team

But beyond all that, I would give the game a 9 out of 10. The best WWE game in a long time.

Both. Create a Show and pair the arena to it.

They've already announced all the DLC. From your list, they're adding Stevie Ray (with Harlem Heat assets, which I assume to be their entrance, titantron, and attire), Mr. Perfect, and The Big Boss Man. They're also adding Dusty Rhodes, Arn Anderson, Scott Hall (along with some Outsiders assets), Roddy Piper, Larry Zbyszko, Tatsumi Fujinami, The Bushwackers, and The Natural Disasters for the men, and Trish Stratus, Lita, and Alundra Blayze for the women. That's a pretty solid list, IMO.

Is there a trick to climbing the ropes? I hold the button and my guy always seems to stop on the middle buckle.

Finally won a couple of matches tonight (Normal difficulty) after starting out losing to Bo Dallas as The Rock (ouch). Finn Balor (demon paint) took down Zack Ryder and then I replayed the WM 31 main event. Boy is it fun using Brock Lesnar; he's got a nice array of suplexes and throws. I totally dominated Roman Reigns and took my time in doing so.

Edit: should add that in both victories, I only had to hit my finisher once to score the 3-count.

I'm going to check out Universe Mode tomorrow. I know there are a few bugs right now, but I'm not too concerned with them.
