>>10571094It continued getting worse and worse with each game, eventually they settled into the Road to Wrestlemania formula of shitty cutscenes followed by in-match objectives which they're basically still using today. It peaked with HCTP/SVR imo but 06 and 07 were fun goofy shit (like Torrie Wilson's rule 63 wand) even with its limitations. 08 onwards is when the whole series flew off the rails including season mode.
>>10571102I haven't compared animations directly but Cody had plenty of appearences in the Yukes era of WWE games, wouldn't surprise me if it's re-used. Or maybe they have like one competent guy on staff, he certainly didn't do the run animation lol
