I will play this for years to come
First off, even if you have a problem with the Japanese Roster, just create your own people. It's no problem. I am a professional wrestler from Atlanta and I have create everyone that I can think of in my wrestling school. You know why? Cause it was fun.
Creation is this games selling point. 500 Edit a wrestlers mean that you can make everyone in the game already (327? 326?) and have over a hundred EAW's left! Awesome.
And yes, it is a little tough to hit a dropkick, but very rewarding in comparison to the Smackdown series. In addition, instead of just watching animations, you get push button satisfaction on most moves. In the Smackdown series; you have to wait for a few seconds until the animation finishes.
If you are a mainstream wrestling fan and looking to grow up a little more in the wrestling business, Firepro is a perfect start. It is not for everyone, but for those who are diligent enough to stick with getting your butt kicked in the first few matches.
I enjoy renaming characters and creating as much as playing. While this may not work for you; it corrects my main gripe about the Smackdown series. In smackdown, you have one set of costumes and outdated rosters.
Here, you sidestep all of that by just going in and fixing all of that. Plain and simple.
This game gets you the most bang for your buck at just 15 dollars
