Can't Apply Submission Holds in Cage Matches (Escape Option On)


El Dandy

Recommended Posts

So apparently, when playing in a cage match with the escape options on (by climbing the cage or escaping through the door), you cannot apply submission holds on your opponent, which is simply a terrible oversight or design decision. What if I wanted to apply a friggin' submission hold to wear down my opponent or to weaken a limb to hurt my opponents chances of climbing the cage? Did anyone who works at THQ watch Bret vs. Owen at SummerSlam?

 

I would like to chalk this up as a bug, but I'll consider it human error and credit the great minds behind this game for making such a poor decision. Then again, they took a step backwards with cage match rules last year when they eliminated the option of having pins/submissions and escaping through the cage all being turned on simultaneously as a way to win a cage match. Since last year, they limited our options by having to choose between having pins/submissions on in cage matches or by escaping. Can't have both.

What's even more weird is that the announcers say you can win by pinfall, submission, or escape from the cage

 

Ah yes, I caught that too when The Fink is announcing the stipulations for the match. I guess we should give THQ credit, they're consistently inconsistent! Overall I'm enjoying the game but these oversights are a nuisance.

i don't think its a glitch because they took away the ability to use submissions out of table, last man standing matches, ko matches and as far as I know ladder matches. need to check the ladder match one though.
