I got the game last week, been playing it a little bit over the last few days. I chose Batista to play the season mode, since I was playing with him during my last two seasons of HCTP too. He's definitely improved since the last game. He's kinda like in the real show, a mixture of Goldberg and Brock Lesnar of the last game. He has all their favorite moves, with the exception of the finishers, of course. He has a better running clothesline, but I had to put his spinebuster into his moveset myself.
Overall, I think the characters definitely have improved. I have only played with a few thusfar though, I always wait with trying out more so that the game doesn't get old too fast.
When I was playing the game, I felt happiness and disappointment at the same time. I love the improvements, but some things just downright suck. One example is the absence of the Hardcore and Tag Team title belts. That really blows. Another thing that annoys me is the SmackDown stage and how it looks so rectanglish and unfinished. Ric Flair's entrance music.
I'll list more of the things I like and dislike later when I've played some more.
Right now I have a question. How do you actually play a challenge game? I tried to select them, but all they did was give me information regarding what they do when you win them... Do I have to unlock them first or something?
