QUIT TAKING AWAY MOVES! And fucking put the old moves you removed back in, and reanimate them when needed. There are moves that were taken out for no reason over the years (Regal Stretch, RVD's kick combo, the spinning choke bomb, rolling elbow combo, etc, etc, etc.)
On a similar note, quit restricting CAW movelists. Tell you what. If I want my guys to have "realistic" movesets, I'll give them to them myself. The categories they break them down into are ridiculous. And give us back 4 grapples.... I don't mind the ultimate control crap, but don't take stuff away for it... Give us one UC move from the front, one from the back.
Making striking mean something, and make it less annoying. The reaction to most strikes in the game are annoying, and there is no real punishment for abusing them. Slow them down a bit, make certain strikes stronger (ala, a punch shouldn't have the same effect as a jumping kick to the face.) and make the countering for strikes better ( think the KOC games). Instead of setting up a counter system that leads to constant counters for strikes, make striking counters more harmful. In KOC, you can counter punches into pins, arm bars, grapples, etc. Kicks can be done the same way.
In fact, improve the counter system all around. Make it more skilled, and give moves specific counters. And give weight classes different counters too. Imagine how much more awesome the game would be if you could reverse a german suplex into a quick rollup sometimes, instead of a stupid elbow over and over again.
Fuck it, just give the next game KOC's system, stick with the smackdown graphics, add in a sweet ass CAW, and give it FPR's level of customization...
Seriously. FPR is unrivaled in customization, and I LOVE KOC's system. It's the only game where I've actually marked out for things that have happened in a match that I was playing.
