WWE '12 Initial Impressions

[RaychelSnr]

What a difference a year makes.

From the moment my first match started, I was immersed in the world of WWE 12. The presentation of each match is so authentic when comparing it to a TV broadcast.

The wrestler’s entrances are done well for the most part. Their themes blare and their mannerisms are replicated to near perfection. Also the crowd will cheer for the favorites, but when the baddies come on stage expect to hear all the boos echo.

The bad guys get boo'd? That's cool, is there anyway 2k could replicate for the basketball like for lebron in Cleveland, Vince in Toronto, would add to realism.

This game really has taken a few steps forward. Spot on analysis.

[Undead]

To change the amount of reverses you could easily change up the sliders maybe? Might be there's one for pinning frequeny as well?

[Phreezy P]

the reversals can be tuned down, but not pins. I actually would like at least 3 or 4 pins by each participant a match to add realism.

I definitely find this game fun. When i'm getting my a** spanked i quickly try to find that 1 reversal to get my momentum and not lose. Especially when the title is on the line!

Nice article. Makes me want the game more.

I am french and used to play WWe 9 and 11. I can't remember loosing a game.
With WWE 12 I can't even win a single match ! In one hand, that's pretty cool
because of the challenge but on the other hand i can't have fun with it for the moment.
It's strange that nobody have pointed this difficulty for wwe 12.

Re: WWE '12 Initial Impressions

I have played three Matches and i am loving it so far.

Being Scottish i had to go Drew Mcintyre first and lost to WWWYKI Zack Ryder. My next 3 matches have been Punk vs Barrett in a steel cage that i have just rematched to try go more comfortable with the controls.

I cant seem to hit the GTS though, I have hit the anaconda vice but i dont have a scooby doo how to hit the GTS.

agreed, and even if they were canned animation pins after a move etc i would be fine with.. auto kick out etc..

they just need to make matches longer somehow with their default settings/ratings.

they need to use that RTWS from last year between HBK and Taker as a base.. you had to do 5 diff things in the match before you could go for the pin and get the win. they need to add this to all the matches.

wwe/world title match - 5 diff accomplishments during the match.

ic/us titles - 3 different accomplishments

tag titles - 2 different accomplishments (since these last long enough with a partner)

diva title - 1 accomplishments (since these are over in like 5 mins anyway)

then say for specialty matches, not for titles or anything, they could make up say 3 to 5 things to do in them..

IMO this would help give the game more of a wrestling feel and not such a fighter..

i know people do the above a lot anyway, make up house rules to play by to make the matches more competitive and last longer..

Re: WWE '12 Initial Impressions

I'm really loving this game. So much fun but i wont be starting my uivers until i get to grips with the controls and slider edits and superstar edits. Like many i cant download any CAW's but i am not in a hurry to do that.

All in all i could see myself having many a late night with this game.

This game feels like it was made for little jimmy's tbqh. The amount of reversal's in this years game is a joke, and the controls flat out suck. Yukes needs to go back to the drawing board after this poor excuse of a game.

dislike.

controls are hands down better this year than in the past IMO..

i dont have issues with reversals, sure there is a lot of them, but nothing game killing. maybe turn it on very easy or something and you wont see it as much.
