Playing this game makes me really nostalgic about the product at the time. ( even though it was starting to go downhill) This game.... It definitely has issues, many are just glitches in gameplay or sound design.

When playing the Road to WrestleMania mode, there's a mechanic where you can fight other superstars backstage for points. These points are for upgrading your stats to help you progress in the mode a little bit easier. Man do these battles have sound issues, sometimes Irish whipping your opponent into the wall or an object may not even register a sound. Sometimes punches don't either.

The main portion of the game where you are in actual matches can sometimes have this issue but it's few and far between. Speaking of the previous mode I mentioned "Road to WrestleMania" there are some matches with stipulations that take SO LONG to complete its ridiculous. For example in John Cena's"Road to WrestleMania" there is a tag team natch between you and MVP vs Legacy (Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes and Ted Dibease Jr) where the stipulation is to hit both of your finishers on Randy Orton and also win the match. Seems doable right?

Maybe because my game is on hard mode but this match took at least 45 minutes to complete due to the AI almost never switching in Randy Orton to fight regardless of how injured Cody Rhodes and Dibease were. There was even a point where the match completely glitched on me and I couldn't tag my partner and neither could the AI. I had to hit my finisher again and then everything went back to normal. The game has wonky hit detection at times as well, there has been plenty of times where I've actually hit enemies BEHIND me from a forward moving attack. Using the tables in this game is also a hassle since whipping them into a table doesn't work anymore.

Don't get me wrong the game can be fun at times but it's just plagued with glitches galore
