^Matches in WWE12 aren't challenging. Unless you call a cheap kickout meter and 90% reversal rates as challenging.
I know you can adjust sliders, but if it wasn't for the AI reversing my moves all the time, the matches would end in like 2 or so minutes. It'd probably end faster if I didn't continue a match until I hit a finisher and then pin/submit the opponent.
Can't remember last time I lost cause my guy was actually hurt alot, and not cause the match just started, and the kickout meter gives you 1, MAYBE 2 chances to kickout on a 3 count.

I still love this game. Universe especially. I have some awesome stuff going on with WWE RAW and WCW Nitro being my 2 main shows + ECW on Thurs with PPVs from WWE, WCW, ECW, and NJPW(where both brands face off against Japanese wrestlers and Gaijins). I basically have an combo of early 90s wrestlers + 2000s stars. No nWo or Attitude Era bullsh**, just pure wresling.
This game is pretty awesome. I love the pins. How you can kick out of a tombstone and such. Makes it more realistic. I had stopped watching wrestling for a while. So this game has kind of helped me get back into it.
Does anyone have a decent looking Hollywood Hulk Hogan, red and yellow version, for the Xbox 360 from CC? I have found some good ones but they do not have the actual picture, which takes away from the realism.
I have Wolfgangs' TNA Hogan, but I would prefer one from his 2002 run in the red and yellow, so just wondering if anyone has found one.
Much better looking than the ones on the PS3 CC pages. But still, a CAW, the flaws are still there. This is why he NEEDS to be in the game.
Credit to him, though, it's as good as a CAW is capable of being.
Very much agreed. It's a great CAW, but CAWs can never replace the real thing. The closest CAW I've ever seen was a Jeff Hardy CAW that had his alumni image replace the CAW picture on the select screen. Clipping issues, shine, and lack of sweat will hurt all CAWs compared to the real game models.
Once again, good CAW, but I would love to see the real thing in WWE 13.

It's not JUST the physical issues though. They exist, to be sure, but the thing that bothers me more than anything else is the fucking wrong names. I can't get into playing as a CAW when they're always called the wrong damn thing.
Not to mention, I can't use custom music online, nor do I want to enable created content to use a CAW and end up playing somebody's crappy custom CAW instead of an actual wrestler.

I swear I hate the custom names. I appreciate THQ for adding four-part call names, but the pause between the names and the lack of names really bother me. Jeffrey Harvey, Jeffrey R D, or any other attempt is a nice try, but it takes away from the whole experience. The commentary, the announcing, the actual titantron and music, and the moves mo-capped and animated specifically for the wrestler just simply cannot be recreated.
And this pin cannot simply be created unless Sandow is actually in the game. I also really hope it is added in 13 as well.

I highly doubt they'd include Sandow's pin, though, unless it's built into the neckbreaker he does, and you press a button to initiate it like some moves have. They never included Khali's foot on the chest pin when he was in the game 3 or 4 years ago, so I doubt it would happen in this case too. I don't like it, but that's a trivial thing that I can deal with. There's issues I can look past and issues I can't. I can't deal with the problems of a CAW.
