Controls
For anyone that has played smackdown vs raw and has got used to the controls then you'll have to make a bit of a change because there a couple of changes. like instead of the L1 button being the finisher button it's now the trinagale button and the L1 button is the run button. There are also new modes of Gameplay but ill get to that later.

Fighting Styles
This is a new feature for 08 and it's a pretty cool new feature it lets you express the life of a WWE superstar. as for the high flighers like Jeff Hardy you can walk over to the ropes and press the square to do a spring board off the ropes. A powerhouse superstar can easily kick out of a pin attempt by throwing them off you. There are also finishers like instead off storing your finisher you have to store a fighting style which can be quite helpful. Dirty superstars do a low blow when you use a fighting style. to use a fighting style you get them in the postion for you fighting style finisher and hold down the R1 button then press the Tringale button to use you finisher.
Stuggle Submission
This is another new feature for 08. instead of button mashing like in the old games you now have to use the right analog stcik to make them tap but if you pull to hard then your rival will get out. So you have to use a various serious of moving the right analog stick up and down and try to keep them in the hold.
