Pfft, screw not having a restriction on the weight system thingy I want it to be as realistic as possible. Also BOOOOO that they are no environmental finishers either. I guess I'm not gonna be picking up this game after all.

update on the FAQ:

Q: How is the hit detection this year?

A:The hit detection is much improved this year. We've spent a good amount of time fine tuning individual moves that were having hit detection issues in the past. We've also adjusted the rate at which the striking Superstars rotates towards the opposing Superstars when they are not facing each other exactly. This gives you better range and cuts down on the amount of missed strike attacks. Lastly, we've also adjusted the diving attack hit detection quite a bit as well. We have some new technology in the game for diving attacks so that the attacks look a bit more natural and sync up better when the two Superstars collide. While hit detection is always a work in progress and almost impossible to get perfect, we believe this year will see some substantial improvements.

Q: Will stats determine Grapple lunge speed again this year?

A: Attribute levels do not determine Grapple Reach speed in WWE '12. Instead this speed is determined by the weight class of the Superstars. Each weight class has a corresponding Grapple Reach speed. As an example, Cruiserweights will have a faster reach speed than Heavyweights.

Q: Will we have the option to mute music playing during the menus as previous to '11?

A: Yes, music can always be muted in the Options Menu.

Q: Can you make the Championship belts one default size, so they're the same regardless of champ?

A: Yes, championship titles will be one default size so they are the same regardless of who holds it.

Q: Will there be a Commentary team for Smackdown this year? Cole, Mathews, Booker T?

A: The commentary team for WWE '12 is Michael Cole and Jerry "The King" Lawler.

Q: Will there be new arenas in WWE '12?

A: Yes, there will be new arenas in WWE '12. Not only we will obviously update many of the arenas to match the WWE's PPV schedule, but we are also introducing some new, never before seen arenas that will be unlockable in Road To WrestleMania.

Q: Is the Skin Color Hue wheel back for CAWs or do we still have preset colors only?

A: Unfortunately the Skin Color Hue wheel is not back for Create-A-Superstar. We will address this feedback next year. We apologize for not being able to address this feedback for WWE '12.

Q: Do we still have Gender restrictions in WWE '12?

A: Yes, WWE '12 still uses gender restrictions to match what you seen on WWE television. This is a requirement for us to have in the game. Although we see several requests to lift this restriction from the game, this is not in our control. We apologize that we are unable to address this feedback.

there you go

...that's really what tipped it for you? Come on, son. Plus, thanks to the new physics system last year, certain finishers are technically environmental already. With the right position, you can do something sick like F-U your opponent onto the steel steps or Batista Bomb on a chair and whatever more.

Exit themes = awesome. Was kinda tired of hearing the intro to Rey's theme playing when he won a match.

Ah, was hoping for the two sets of announce teams. Would have been odd having Booker, maybe, as a playable and on the announce table too, haha. Michael Cole should be hilarious on commentary if they've given him some heelish line. Will be pretty gutted if it's just the generic stuff from last years game again.

Looking forward to finding out those never before seen arenas, too. Although, as they're to do with RTW, I can't imagine them being quite what I'm hoping for. I'm calling an empty arena as one, haha.

the exit themes should be good!

the unlockable never before seen arenas should be a nice touch

Q: Can the RKO be hit from any position, countering a diving moves, etc a la WWE All Stars?

A: This is a very cool, entertaining, and exciting part of WWE All-Stars. So much so, that the team is investigating the possibility of having this functionality in the future. So, unfortunately this is not possible in WWE '12, but we are excited about the possibility of adding this type of functionality in future WWE games.

This would be great.

Never tried it myself but I can see it being possible. Someone going for a springboard and then hitting the finisher buttons with Orton. None the less, it'd be an awesome feature in future WWE games. Although, other than the RKO, it'd be heard to rack up a list of high profile moves/finishers that'll make it all worthwhile.

I swear they should have been added that since sometimes i get kicked when i do move from the top rope and that should follow a stone cold stunner or something.
