I'm pretty sure the music starts from the beginning each time.

Imported music does cut out during the highlights, but turning off post-match highlights lets the music play through like any other theme.

Damn. I remember them talking about doing that for this year. Sucks they didn't get that in.

OK, I just lowered Christian's recovery attribute to 1 (it can't go to zero) and faced off against Daniel Bryan. I didn't notice much of a difference early in the match, but as it went on Christian started to get up more slowly from the more powerful moves Bryan was hitting. It also seemed to me that he began showing signs of damage sooner (though this could have just been my imagination).

Thansk for clearing that up. I couldn't remember hearing any, but to be honest that's not something I pay close attention too, anyway.

I stopped playing SVR in 2011 where they took a flawed but fun game (svr 07-10), slowed it down, took half the moves out, kept all the fake, horribly animiated strikes that you never see in a pro wrestling match, and ruined the general flow of the game by making it feel like mortal kombat or virtual fighter instead of a pro wrestling simulation. Online matches were also unplayable due to lag. Will I like this game?

I'm hearing from someone else who has the game that there are still some issues with setting up title matches. He tried to set up a tag title match and this message came up "To challenge the Tag Team Champions, you need to be in a formal tag team. This match will be changed to a Non-Title match." I'm going to assume this means that tag teams have to be in a stable to challenge for them? Also the same person is saying that there is a similar problem for singles titles. Can you confirm these things? Seems like we still don't have complete freedom with title matches after all.

Can someone clarify this whole Rock thing. Do I have it right.

Pre-order and you get the Rock.

Don't pre-order and you have to pay to download him.

Is there a way to unlock him or do you have to buy him?

All you have to do is pre-order the game.And you got him.
If you don't you won't be able to get him til Jan-Feb time on DLC for $.99.

# 491 Fiddy @ 11/19/11 09:46 AM

so pre order anywhere? amazon or gamestop etc..

In the Sunday ads for tomorrow at Target and Best Buy, they both say that The Rock DLC is free with purchase. Also at Best Buy, you can get The Rock DVD for free with it.

They do have to be in a team to challenge for the titles. In my universe, Cena and Ryder formed on their own and they are holding the belts as of now. I haven't seen a problem with singles titles though?

Doesn't sound like a problem to me then. I don't want 2 random single wrestlers being tag team champions and if it's anything like last year it only took maybe 10 seconds to set up a team anyways.

Yea, although it has happened before with two individuals thrown together who win the titles, often they end up as a team for awhile afterwards. See Austin/Michaels for example.

Yes, you have to group wrestlers together and form a tag team before they can compete for the titles. You can't just throw two random people together and put them in a tag title match. As far as singles titles, I haven't seen any problems. I've been able to put anyone I want in a title match. What kind of problems is he seeing?

# 498 Slymm @ 11/19/11 02:52 PM

Played one game before I had to run into work. Triple Threat Match between Zack Ryder, John Morrison, and R-Truth (me) on default. This game definitely plays better than the last SvR in my opinion straight out of the box.

The match had a couple of nearfalls and barely broken up pins. I hit the lie detector once on Ryder but Morrison broke the pin up and Ryder hit me with three rough ryders and just could not put me away thanks to Morrison. I was finally able to win after Ryder landed a Rough Ryder on Morrison and I snuck him from behind to roll him up for the win. I'll delve more into the game when I get home from work, grocery shopping, errands, etc.

I don't know how it is this year, but Bret Hart was the exclusive DLC last year, and I DIDN'T preorder the game. I got it from Best Buy, and it had the Bret Hart code with it.

I'm not sure how it is with places like Walmart, where you can't pre-order the game. Maybe they don't get copies with the code in it. But, if Target is advertising that they have the Rock, then maybe Walmart will too.

It's probably similar to 2K12 and the Golden State/Sacramento code that came with the game. It was suggested that you pre-order the game to get the code, and I did for the 360. But, a week later, I bought the PS3 version and the code came with that version as well.

I'd imagine, provided the game doesn't sell out in the first few days, that The Rock code will be in the box. I bought SVR last year online (Thanksgiving sale) and got the Bret Hart code, even though I didn't pre-order.
