Will we ever get a true wrestling sim in america?
In the vein of Fire pro R, or King of Colosseum?

I love playing smackdown multiplayer. Its a great party game, but it falls flat for me in singleplayer. And despite, many little tweaks to make it feel like more of a sim, it still feels too arcade like to be considered a true wrestling sim. In singleplayer I cant remember one match i had that really resembled an actual wrestling match, whereas in fire pro and KOC I have them every time I play. KOC especially.

DOR series is a little better in that regard, imo, but it still also has that smackdown like arcade feel in many areas. The closest we've ever come I think, is the aki games.

Also, before anyone gets snippy, this is not some elitist purogamer, "smackdown sucks, japanese games are god" thread. They two very different type of games and I happen to like the smackdown series and the puro games. But to call smackdown a true wrestling sim, is just false. And I would just like to see a TNA or WWE game that has the same kind of depth as games overseas.
