MrRant Posted July 17, 2007 Report Posted July 17, 2007 I thought the amount of reversals the CPU was able to pull off in 2007 to be unbearable in the Hard or higher levels. Ultimate Submissions match against Angle? Hello ass handed to you.

Ultimate Submissions match against Angle? Hello ass handed to you. It seems to me generally that's harder levels in wrestling games period. The A.I. doesn't seem act really too much smarter, it just gets luckier and gives you less breathing room with reversals. No Mercy/Revenge on max difficulty? It's hard to build up momentum because weaker grapples are nearly all you can do safely because strongs usually result in you getting dropped on your head/knocked down repeatedly.

Myself and my friends would destory No Mercy on expert. It got to the point where expert felt like easy and we actually question the person playing if he was on easy or not.

Co-Op with a human player vs. computer is cake if your partner is decent. So much opportunity to double team and outsmart the computer.

See we figured if we wanted to beat each other, the best way to help us would practice against the computer on expert. So if anyone challanged the computer, in any type of match, the game was set on expert.
AndrewTS Posted July 18, 2007 Report Posted July 18, 2007 Hm, go fig. Ever get those long strike reversal chains against the computer? *Strike**catch**counterattack*catch**counterattack...? Not so much hard, again (cuz CPU isn't really much smarter), but like I said, more even because of far more reversals.
Big McLargeHuge Posted July 18, 2007 Report Posted July 18, 2007 Yeah, I get those all the time. That's why I fitted my CAW with a counter that wasn't a strike. You can't reverse a arm drag takedown, baby. I'll rent the new smackdown game for the Wii just to test it the waggle controls. Definitely won't be buying it. I fell for that last year and haven't touched SvsR 07 since February. Any improvements made are minimal/cosmetic. I'll probably just go back to playing No Mercy and Revenge.
AntiLeaf33 Posted July 18, 2007 Report Posted July 18, 2007 The constant reversals were a big headache last year. Yes, I don't mind a move getting reversed as it happens all the time, but when it prohibts you from actually working a decent match, thats when you might wanna rethink your system
dubq Posted July 18, 2007 Report Posted July 18, 2007 Isn't there a slider to adjust the rate of reversals like in 2006? Anyway, I just picked this up extremely cheap from ebay. Even cheaper than I saw it for used in a shop here in town.
dubq Posted July 26, 2007 Report Posted July 26, 2007 07 came in yesterday. It's not too bad, at all. The new controls take some getting used to but I like that you can use the old style controls as well. One question: how the hell does the "only announces one tag team members name" bug get by development? You'd think it'd be something pretty easy to notice AND fix.
Obi Chris Kenobi Posted July 26, 2007 Report Posted July 26, 2007 You'll start to notice other 'easy to spot' bugs that should never have gotten past developers, which is a major annoyance and downfall for the game.
dubq Posted July 27, 2007 Report Posted July 27, 2007 The latest one was playing the Vengeance (I think) arena, and it was Lilian Garcia's voice doing the ring announcing... buuuut, Tony Chimel was in the ring. Oookay then.
Obi Chris Kenobi Posted July 27, 2007 Report Posted July 27, 2007 Yup, and JR calling the wrong spots "STUNNER STUNNER!!!!" When you've done a chair shot...
haws bah gawd Posted July 27, 2007 Report Posted July 27, 2007 In any game that had Rhyno and Commentary, you would aften hear GORE! GORE! GORE! and Rhyno wouldn't even be involved in the match. Same with any move that Tazz did being called "Tazzmission".
dubq Posted July 27, 2007 Report Posted July 27, 2007 BTW, Gerweck.net has posted cover art for 2008...
Broward83 Posted July 27, 2007 Report Posted July 27, 2007 wow, that cover art isn't outdated at all by the time the game comes out now, is it?
LivingLegendGaryColeman Posted July 27, 2007 Report Posted July 27, 2007 Has there been any rumor of timeframe when the roster should be announced? Not only the legends this year, I am curious for the actual roster.
Golgo 13 Posted July 27, 2007 Report Posted July 27, 2007 I think real info of that sort doesn't usually start coming out until late August/September with IGN's annual countdown starting around the same time. This is everyone who's been revealed or said to appear thus far. Ashley Batista Bobby Lashley Chavo Guerrero Chris Masters CM Punk Edge Elijah Burke Jeff Hardy John Cena Kane Kevin Thorn Marcus Cor Von Randy Orton Rey Mysterio Ric Flair The Sandman Shawn Michaels Snitsky Triple H Umaga The Undertaker
Obi Chris Kenobi Posted July 27, 2007 Report Posted July 27, 2007 wow, that cover art isn't outdated at all by the time the game comes out now, is it? SvR07 was 6-12 months out of date when that came out, at least it felt that way, damn annoying, but not much you can do about it, I guess.
AntiLeaf33 Posted July 28, 2007 Report Posted July 28, 2007 I can't wait to play this just so I can do the Pounce!!!!!! Also, I wonder if they will put all of Punk's tattoos on correctly (IE: the Pepsi tattoo)

Sandman and Dreamer would be a helluva fun tag team to play as.
Danville_Wrestling Posted July 28, 2007 Report Posted July 28, 2007 Not if they don't fix the tag team AI where its nearly impossible to get pins because your CPU partner doesn't try to fight off the other CPU guy. That gets annoying REAL fast and forces you to have to do texas tornado-style tag team matches if you want them for fantasy booking/just to have a fun match.
Obi Chris Kenobi Posted July 28, 2007 Report Posted July 28, 2007 And lets not talk about the MITB physics and AI ¬_¬

You'll start to notice other 'easy to spot' bugs that should never have gotten past developers, which is a major annoyance and downfall for the game. Which is what usually keeps this series as "rent" and not "buy" for me.
Danville_Wrestling Posted July 28, 2007 Report Posted July 28, 2007 And lets not talk about the MITB physics and AI ¬_¬ Yea absolutley. I just rented 2007 instead of buying a copy and am glad I did. It's amazing how they are unable to get any of the ladder match type AI/physics correct. I remember in 2006 that it was impossible to do ladder matches because you could never keep your opponent down long enough. However, the Smackdown v. Raw series has the same problem with EA and its non-Madden type games: they know they have a niche market out there that will make the game a top seller regardless of how much work they put into it. I also feel that the series puts too much emphasis on graphics and not on gameplay. It's not that graphics aren't important to me BUT graphics without gameplay equates to one crappy gaming experience. I am interested to see what legends have been put into this year's game, though. I imagine we'll still get Austin, Rock, and Bret but I'm praying for them not to do something stupid like give us three versions of Hillbilly Jim or something like that.

Yeah I rarely ever play in regular tag team matches because of that. Most of my tag matches are tornado style. But it really doesn't bother me that much since I don't do any fantasy booking or anything like that.
USC Wuz Robbed! Posted July 28, 2007 Report Posted July 28, 2007 I don't have a problem with the tag matches because I wisely knock the partner off the apron before making a pin.
Nate Posted July 28, 2007 Report Posted July 28, 2007 Not if they don't fix the tag team AI where its nearly impossible to get pins because your CPU partner doesn't try to fight off the other CPU guy. That gets annoying REAL fast and forces you to have to do texas tornado-style tag team matches if you want them for fantasy booking/just to have a fun match. thats one problem i seriously hope they address that was always such a pain in the ass, also i hope if you play as CM Punk vs Khali, that you'll be able to strike and not retract like it hurt, maybe where Khali would no sell
The Flamboyance Posted July 28, 2007 Report Posted July 28, 2007 I really hope Tommy Dreamer is a part of the final roster. Sandman and Dreamer would be a helluva fun tag team to play as. Yeah, I'm hoping for that too. I always thought it was unfair that Dreamer never got a spot in a Smackdown game, especially while he was hardcore champ. Also, I'm kinda bummed that Sabu won't be in it. It would have been pretty cool having him in a WWE videogame. Shame that RVD probably won't be in it either. RVD and Sabu tagging or against eachother would get me to pay full price for that game. I'm crossing my fingers for Dreamer and Balls. Back when the 3rd SD game came out, I rushed out and bought it just for Jerry Lynn, Raven, Tajiri, and Rhino. Also, I hope the CAW will improve so that I can make KENTA and Marufuji, maybe McGuinness too, if they include Thorn's finisher.
Obi Chris Kenobi Posted July 28, 2007 Report Posted July 28, 2007 I bet RVD and Sabu movesets can be found in the CAW, it's not too hard to believe that they were already in the game, programmed and probably ready to be tested when they were released. So they'll just shift the info into CAW for you to create them.
