Weird Controls

[Jenro]

While, I may be a bit behind the times, I finally decided to switch over from 2006 and go all the over to 2009. I was expecting some differences, sure and it's not even the Ultimate Control part, I did play 2007 for a while, so I know about it. But it feels so darned awkward to use the new controls. I can't move around and grapple at the same time, running even feels like a hassle...in fact most of the controls feel sloppy to use.

Did you guys feel the same way, or is it just going to take a while to get used to?

The new submission system is weird at first but it makes sense afterwords. The CPU gets out of a hold [i]way[/i] too easily though. Play with a friend or online to really get the sense of it.

My PS2 doesn't have the online piece, usually I just play with friends over. Anyways, it's not just the submission system, it's the grappling system combined with the ultimate control system. It's a total rearrangement of controls where stuff used to be. It's just very uncomfortable to use, I feel like I need an extra hand to play it properly.

you need the struggle submission ability it makes cpu tapp out more often to submission

or you could just had submission be your finisher then it is the stringest submission

I don't really know the difference because I played the old Smackdown vs Raw 2006 and then made it to Smackdown vs Raw 2009 on the Wii with virtually no problems.
