What's the point of an awesome CAW mode with 100000 different matches if the foundation is shit and looks like shit
I want EA to get it so they can modernize the genre, just give me a simulation of what I see on TV and not fucking slow mo finishers

It doesn't matter to me which publisher ends up with the license as long as Yukes isn't the developer.

Worried but also excited
It's been so long since I looked forward to a WWE game as they had got stale
Hopefully ea has looked at fan feedback about the Smackdown series and will do the right things

Which cost Vince more, THQ or Linda?

I wouldn't even care if it had the game had no specific match types as long as AKI makes it. Also it would need a roster full of Legends/Alumni which by given EA's track record shouldn't be too much of a problem.

When was the last time Aki made a wrestling game?

I wanna say Fight for New York, but I think they made another one after that. Then they died and became Syn Sophia.

The biggest issue with Wrasslin games these days is that that Yukes DOES NOT make a Wrasslin game every year. They make a WWE game. Games like No Mercy, Revenge, KoC and Fire Pro are all based off of Japanese style wrestling which is why the games are a lot more sim like. WWE is the foundation that Yukes looks to when making their yearly games.
WWE '13 was good with the sliders up and defiantly a step in the right direction, but still a far cry from a sim style match that you can have in past games.

Means every CAW gets the same entrance because different ones are DLC.

yup, the worst insult was when Yukes made the UFC games and they looked 10 generations ahead better then the trash WWE games they were putting out every year
Have to be Shane so they can use the HERE COMES THE MONEY intro.

Good at least we might get an yearly game where the content is actually new. Not a 2006 game released in 2012. Get this away from Yukes also their "artists" SUCK.

This is the last game AKI made
I'm going to assume most of the people who have made up the old AKI are gone now.
The engine can certainly still be worked with. It's going to require a big overhaul though.

I really hope EA gets it. I don't want any more Yukes shit. I don't even care that the game looks shitty. It's just not fun to play at all and that goes for pretty much all of them, even WWE 13. 2K sports would probably give it to fucking Yukes again.
This x infinity.
Apparently they made a PSP game with the Def Jam engine

The Kinnikuman games on PS2 and PSP were really good.
But the Kinnikuman Muscle Grand Prix series (which is a straight up fighting game and not wrestling at all) made by Aki/Syn Sophia was simply amazing and one of the better new and original fighting games to come out in recent years.
Sigh, memories, but even then a return to No Mercy would be appreciated combined with EA style presentation.

I'd wager that Style Savvy is probably better than Yuke's last batch of WWE games.
Maybe they could make a WWE edition where you kit out the fans with Cenation merchandise for ridiculous prices.

Yeah, I would be surprised if they are still capable of making a wrestling game.

They are, the combat engine still lives based on the PSP Yakuza games and the Kinnikuman games they've made in recent years.

Wherever it goes, please no Yukes
You mean to tell me Booker T DOESN'T look like Black Beta Ray Bill?
God damn Yukes is an abysmal company.
Style Savvy is actually a well made business management game, Nintendo would not allow anything of low quality to tarnish them (Other M aside).
Real talk.

If it means a new game enginre, I'm game. As far as dlc, it'll prob be the same as wwe 13's, plus maybe it'll have an awesome manager mode as well.
The key is going to be the CAWs
