>Can't taunt in tag matches without calling your partner in
>New grappling system dramatically slows gameplay just to add a few more moves you'll never want to use like chin locks that take 30 seconds to complete
>Reversals so braindead easy that all matches are just a back and forth of the same 3 counter animations until somebody is in the red
>Attribute system completely unbalanced. Speed is worthless as a stat. Any strength or durability advantage over 1 point pretty much guarantees you will win unless you're retarded.
>Literally impossible to outmash the AI on SmackDown difficulty to make them tap out
>Can't make somebody tap with the figure 4 or ankle lock unless you spam the same leg stomp 80 times beforehand because limb damage is retarded
>Can't German suplex somebody out of the ring anymore
>Can't dive off the titantron anymore
>Less backstage areas, no more subway and no more snowball fights
>Less alternate attires
>Shorter season mode
>No Hogan, Warrior, Jeff, DDP or Regal
>Legends literally nobody asked for or would want to play like Hillbilly Jim
>Models for guys like Triple H and Rock hideously downgraded, nearly every new character is unrecognizable
This is the most overrated wrestling game of all time and I don't get why anybody would like it for any reason other than nostalgia.
