Tips

Learn how to counter effectively, anticipate timing of opponents moves. Isolate your opponent leaving them no opportunity to tag in tag matches. Double team legally, get the person on the outside to interfere as much as is legally possible. Keep to the centre of the ring if you want to survive longer in Battle Royals and Royal Rumbles. Double team when someone is on the apron, having more people helping to eliminate gives you a greater chance of victory. Attack vulnerable or groggy opponents in Elimination Chamber matches to build up your meter enabling signature moves to be executed. Stay out of the way of the main action in Elimination Chamber matches.

Negatives

Online purchase code for more content. Full Online Access is 6.29 for any second hand or rented copies of the game! About 15% of the value of the RRP of a first hand copyStill not a complete Royal Rumble quota of 30 real playersCan take a very long time to get into a Royal Rumble matchNo option to turn off chat in online lobbyThe crowd still look poorToo frequent disconnections (patches may resolve this)Crowd sounds don't match action. You have won the Royal Rumble and you can hear a pin drop in a Diva's cleavage!Royal Rumbles not as frenetic, action packed or populated as they should be. Simply Battle Royal's by another name.Matches where entrances are 'on' can take 8 minutes before you actually play the game - and where there aren't many people online and only these types of matches (with entrances 'on') it can be frustratingYou probably won't ever play in the majority of match typesCommentary can be repetitive and annoyingToo many Irish Whips and button bashing in the rumble'Championship Scrambles' frequently end in draws, too difficult to pin opponents
