1st match for me was Hideo Itami vs Tyson Kidd with Natalya and I lost because I haven't figured out the submission system yet lol. First thing I notice was the pacing and it felt like a real wrestling match which I absolutely love.

Agreed on the pacing. This is easily the most deliberately-paced WWE game I've ever played and dare I say the first honest-to-goodness professional wrestling game for a major video game console.

And I can't figure out the breaking point submissions either, lol. I do like the subtle changes to chain grappling (you can wrench holds now in addition to striking, which will change the hot spots and drain stamina) and the rest holds. And the limited reversal stock significantly changes how one approaches the game at all in my opinion.

Can someone please explain to me how the submission system works. I thought I understood it when they explained it to me, but apparently I didn't.

I thought you had keep up with the red circle and match your blue bar with the red. But I keep submitting.

I think the gameplay is awesome. The pacing is awesome. I just haven't won a match yet because I don't know how to get out of a submission move and I suck at kicking out of pins.

Stunning Steve Austin's finisher is the stun gun, I marked out.

I won my first match playing as Finn Bálor against Tyler Breeze but I haven't won since. Playing as Neville I just lost to Enzo Amore hahaha.

The new limited reversal stock changes everything, especially if you turn reversal charge rate all the way down (which I did just to mess around, I'm not sure if this is actually how I want to set the game up, but that slider definitely works heh).

I just beat Roman Reigns as Seth Rollins in a marathon match. We each hit two finishers and I pinned him on the second one. The pacing and the action was great. Felt like a real match the whole time.
