Can we talk about the underlying things?

Seriously. I get so fed-up every year of seeing cosmetic, immiterial things discussed. Things that won't get updated until next year's game - if they even get updated... What about the little things that we can't seem to fix ourselves no matter how much AI tweaking we do?

1. Why do designs placed on CAWs sometimes lose their color settings when you switch attires, or enter/exit menus? Every time this has happened to me, the CAW is essentially trashed and I have to completely change the attire I was trying to make. Even if you can exit CAW Mode successfully with the colors intact, the CAW will have default colored designs in match.

 

This piont is really annying me this morning. Placed a lot of logos, was happy wiht CAW, changed hair in appearance, and the logos defaulted. Re-made in from scratch, and went into Body, it happened again. Remade from scratch, copied attire into entrance attire slot, and happened a third time. Don't tell me no one else has run into this?

 

2. Why do wrestlers run around the ring post and slide into the next side of the ring instead of just entering the ring again?

3. Why do most of the long hairs stop certain wristbands from being used?

4. Why does the wake-up taunt still look horrible, place wrestlers way too close to the corner for corner finishers (making HBK's Sweet Chin Music look rediculous - and the fact that he's still stomping after they are on their feet and turned around).

5. Why does the ref run around in circles like a headless chicken when you go for a pin, before finally getting down and starting the pin? Like I could have had a 2 count before he even started counting.

6. Why can changing a finisher or a signiature move as the only change to their moveset that you make, completely change how dominant a caw competes in the ring? A caw's affectiveness should be based on how well it's moveset flows as a whole, or how well it's moveset is backed-up by complimentary attributes, abilities and skills. Not randomly replacing one move affecting how good your caw performs, what is that about?

7. Why are real wrestlers running-in on CAW vs CAW matches, in exhibition, when I have no allies/rivalries with real wrestlers setup (2017 exclusive bug).

8. Why did the crawl-to-pin animation get downgraded to hell after 2015? It used to happen all the time on that game, it was great. I saw it twice on 2016 and haven't yet seen it on 2017.

09. Why don't wrestlers interact with the ropes anymore when in a pin or a submission? I have ropebreak set-to automatic. I've seen wrestlers get pinned right next to the ropes without reaching for them, and they never crawl for the ropes when they're in a submission hold like they would back on, say, WWE SVR06. I miss the little gameplay elements.

10. Why do some of our created items not appear on the upload menu? I'm tired of having to plaster a created wrestler in logos, and upload the wrestler, because the logos themselves won't upload to CC.

I think the main problem with these games is that there's not enough time to work on the next title. All that they seem to be able to do is update the roster, add a few commentary lines here and there, add new areas and new moves, and add a couple of new "features".

That's the only reason why everything else is half-assed, from a detestable and broken "MyCareer" mode to little things that you mentioned above.

I wish they had enough time to work on the core gameplay itself.

7. I think it suppose to add to the anything can happen feeling.
8. I have seen it happen quite a few times.
9. They will do this on some submissions but I am guess that hasn't been added to all of them. I knew a single leg boston crab allows you to crawl.

Most of the other things are glitches/bad programming.
