All the upgrades WWE '12 brings have been done in a gamecube game before

     THQ has decided to reboot the Smackdown vs Raw franchise, not just changing the name, but changing many elements that fans have complained about over the years. Here's the article at IGN for a complete list of changes and upgrades http://ps3.ign.com/articles/117/1171529p1.html . WWE Day of Reckoning on the gamecube(2004) has every single one of the upgrades this game brings, apart form the 'Dynamic Comebacks' feature and the 'no analog grapples' feature(please read the ign article. I don't want to copy and paste the features here). That's why DoR is my fav wrestling game of all time and why I don't play Smackdown vs Raw.

I don't understand why this has happened as THQ also made DoR but they're just bringing these features to Smackdown, er WWE '12 eight years later! I haven't owned a wrestling game since DoR(still have the spoilt gc disk) but I beatthe first Smackdown vs Raw on a borrowed PS2. After that, I noticed it was almost the same thing each year and I kept waiting(honestly) for the features that are now being added, the most important to me being the 1st two features mentioned in IGN's article.

WWE All Stars will be the first wrestling game I'll get since DoR but I will probably wait for the inevitable WWE '13 which will probably smoothen out any minor problems '12 will have. There are usually those minor problems every time a series is rebooted. What do you guys think? Any Day of Reckoning/some other wrestling game with the same features share my opinion on this?
