Basic info on the game:
The weak/strong grapple system from the past games has been removed.
Characters now perform different moves based on their opponent's current
physical state. Players now have a window of opportunity to attack
while still in a downed state and can also interrupt moves and Royal Rumble eliminations with attacks. Similarly, the pinning meter from the past games has been reworked to make it more difficult to kick out as a wrestler takes more damage. The game's artificial intelligence has also been adjusted to prevent players from overusing the same move. In addition, the ability to store finishing moves
has returned. A new feature called "Dynamic Comebacks" will give
players on the verge of losing the opportunity to successfully hit a
combination of moves to gain two finishing moves. New "wake up taunts"
bring a downed opponent to their feet for a finishing move (such as Randy Orton pounding on the ground before his RKO finishing maneuver). Players also have the ability to target specific limbs during matches and perform submissions through a new "Breaking Point" submission minigame.
"WWE Universe" mode will return, featuring new and more unpredictable
events based on player decisions. The "Road to WrestleMania" Mode will
also return with new storylines and gameplay improvements. Creation
modes will return for superstars, entrances, finishing moves,
storylines, highlight reels and the brand new arena creation, as well as
the ability to share creations online.
THQ
has promoted a new animation system dubbed "Predator Technology." In
addition to allowing players to interrupt moves, attack animations such
as John Cena's Five Knuckle Shuffle
no longer warp players to the center of ring. More realistic ring rope
physics have also been added, with ropes moving as characters are
slammed to the mat. The developers have also made efforts to prevent the
collision detection problems that have affected the series in the past. On July 28, 2011, it was announced that those who pre-order the game will be able to play as The Rock and also receive alternate attires for The Miz. On August 13, 2011, Jerry Lawler was announced as downloadable content.
