SD vs RAW seems to be geared more towards multi-player and on-line action.
As for SD vs RAW 2006 the stamina may work against you alittle bit when in single player mode. But if you learn and watch how the computer controlled wrestlers act when their stamina is depleted you will find opportunities to hit them with devastating moves and take them out. In the other modes the stamina thing is great in my opinion. Before a wrestler could trap you in a series of moves and just pound you to a win. Now that is not possible too many moves strung together and the wrestler loses their stamina weakening them and slowing them down so you can either counter their moves. Or turn the tables on them and pound on them until your stamina decreases.
I do agree the AI needs to be tweaked again. I won alot of matches because the computer controlled wrestlers would do moves like hit the referee too man times and get DQ'd. Or my fav from them they would grab a weapon and smack you with it and end up getting DQ'd for doing it.
As for the countering in the previous game the computer controlled characters had the upper hand in this move. It took me forever to perfect it and make it a useful move. In the 2006 series it feels more balanced to me. I can counter most of the computers attacks and if you learn how to vary your attacks it makes it harder for the computer controlled wrestlers to counter your moves.
The ladder thing I am amazed at that myself. In one of the my ladder matches I was playing as a tag team. I took the ladder away from the ring and placed it at the entrance where the wrestlers appear before the match. To my surprise my computer controlled tag partner and one of our computer controlled opponents both climbed the ladder and had one heck of a battle. During this the announcers kept saying so and so going for the belt, but they were like no where near the belt.
The load times are a bit long. For going into a match I do not mind the long load time. But when I am working on a CAE it gets to be annoying to have to sit for minutes at a time to wait to see a quick clip and decide if that is how you want your entrance. Hopefully they will add a view screen or some other way to see a quick clip of your entrance.
