WWE '12

[Cymbols]

I hope you can change competitors in elimination chamber matches.

I hate Cena vs Edge vs Triple H vs CM Punk vs Primo vs Darren Young every year.

[NM!]

Yeah, I hate having no names like Cena, HHH, Edge, and Punk hog up my title matches.

Screw that. I just hope there's more control over booking title matches, since title matches being PPV-only (outside of an exploit) is incredibly unrealistic.

And MITB. I really want them to make a more... concrete way to qualify for the match(es, most likely, considering I think they'll put the MITB PPV in the game) aside from "oh, these six guys".

The thing that sucks is that Darren Young has won the last three...

[Cymbols]

Thinking about the roster, if there's going to be around 70, the people who were released will probably get in. I presume they've already done all of the character models so I guess we'll see Kozlov, Melina and Masters (maybe Smaith and Kim).

Question. Will we see Khali and Mahal?

[R.W.]

I'd say yes to Khali, but no to Mahal

[tenaciousg]

I'd say yes to Khali, but no to Mahal

I'm just hoping we might see guys like McGillicutty or Riley or Brodus in there. I feel like, at the very least, we could get the first two.

But.. that's how it's done for the PPV now.

[TKz]

Does it really bother anyone if JINDER MAHAL doesn't make the cut? >_> I mean... the guy makes dirt on the ground look interesting.

[The Buscher]

Screw it, I'll go ahead and do a roster prediction since the reveal is on Saturday. Last year's game shipped with 66 playable characters on the disk, plus it's been said that Hurricane was intended to be playable and Carlito was still buried on the disk somewhere. So I'm gonna use a cap of 68.

No real glaring omissions this year. Guys like Curt Hawkins, Trent Barreta, etc. could get in at the expense of guys like Primo and David Hart Smith, but I'd give the edge to people who were in last year on priciple. Only reason they'd make the changes is if they were looking at the roster disbursement at Mania time and purposely tried to give SD some extra jobbers to even out the rosters slightly (kinda like how Vance Archer got in last year since ECW wasn't dead yet when the rosters were finalized).

I'm sure I put too much logic into the Legends selections by picking mostly people who have been on TV during the year. Doubtless some of those guesses are wrong. Also there's said to be a character that won't be revealed until September but I have no clue who would be "important" enough to warrant the special attention.

True, but they pick six upper-midcard guys. I routinely get MITB matches that have maybe one high-card guy versus JTG vs. Santino vs. Tyson Kidd vs. Primo vs. Yoshi Tatsu.

Seems like a pretty good prediction. One thing that no one's considered is NXT. You have to think that the NXT arena will be there and that someone like Titus O'Neil or Darren Young shouldn't be ruled out.

I really hope that Trent Barreta will make it.

[Guest Canary4life]

I hope they sort Universe out. On 2011, Vance Archer won the Royal Rumble, the WWE title and then held it for the next 6 months before losing it to... Santino Marella.

From LordsofPain

- A source at THQ reports that designs have been created for Brock Lesnar to appear in the new WWE '12 video game. So far there is no talk of Lesnar appearing on WWE TV or doing anything WWE-related to promote the game.

[TKz]

I look forward to Lesnar breaking the game like he did in every other game he was in. Dude was always super overpowered. >_>

[MalaCloudy Black]

He was a beast in Here Comes The Pain, I remember that.

[The Buscher]

I must have played through HCTP's season mode over a dozen times. I definitely remember using Brock at one point, and finishing a season in a matter of hours because most of the matches were under 2 minutes long.

[TCO]

I wasn't that interested in the but if Brock is in it, that changes. I really wanted to skip it this year.

If it's true though, I wonder if it's classic Brock or a modern Brock, complete with penis tattoo on his torso.

Well, they have modern Rock, so I imagine they would have modern Brock. It's not like he's past his prime or anything, either.

[Noah]

Any news on pre-order deals? I got the Bret Hart one last year but the pre-orders for this game dont seem to come with a bonus
