So, after playing the demo...and being the avid Smackdown fan I am. I really don't think I'm gonna like this years incarnation. Hopefully it's just because the demo's not finished.
But I just can't see why they needed to change the controls, hell they do it every year, and it gets annoying having to adjust to a new setup every year. And they didn't do it for the better as it seems they took out half the move options you could have since right and left grapples are automatically Ultimate control.
Also, I'm pretty sure I hate the styles. I mean they showed all this stuff you could do on those video demos (like with the chairs, and setting fire to tables...) and I think only people who are extreme can do them. (Either that, or it's only in the extreme rules match) But if it's the former, I really doubt there are that many extreme people..It just seems the styles are going to limit gameplay, and take away from the fun. I mean, if I personally like fighting with weapons...I shouldn't have to use Sandman to do it. Hell, maybe I want to do it with Mr. Kennedy. You're telling me I can't??
Maybe in the final game you can pick from all styles instead of just two (But I doubt it...since then you'd have high flying HHH's) then I wouldn't complain, but since I doubt that's the case, really don't think I'm gonna enjoy it as much this year. Although, technically I will since it has the likes of Punk, Burke, Corvon, etc...but controls took a step back for sure.
