Multiple Man Ladder Matches Suck

[rab357]

I get it, it's a video game and you're dealing with AI. Still, I've come to realize you'll only ever be able to do the coolest stunts and spots in a match if it's a one on one, you and one opponent. You think of great multiple Man ladder matches from the past, whether MitB or TLC, and there's all these great spots. Well, can't do those because AI opponents only care about setting up the ladder and getting up that thing as quickly as possible to play the little mini game and win. If your guy is down, then you'd better hope and pray the other AI guys stop the AI dude trying to win and not just stand there and stare at him while he gets the briefcase or belt. I've never had a multiple ladder match go past, like, five to seven minutes. The setting I use is Hard, with some of the sliders tweaked for less damage so (theoretically) the match goes on longer. If I want the match to go longer, I literally have to stand my guy in the middle of the ring and "protect" the area from AI guys putting up ladders so they can't put them up to climb.

Again, it's just funny. I know there's limitations but I wish some tweaks or something could be done so ladder matches, which are generally regarded as more "epic" matches, can have some of that "epic" feel. I just had one that ended after, eh, a minute or so. Six men, one immediately ran outside, grabbed a ladder and hauled it in, set it up, and climbed and finished mini game to win while, eh, three to four AI guys just stared at him while I was fighting other AI guy outside the ring.
