I'm not sure what how everyone else feels about this but I think the legacy table works much better for single play than the new multi player table. I heard the legacy table is going to removed which I think is a real shame

It does work better for single play. Shame if it goes away.

I would imagine it might be a space thing.......I do like the old game table, but it could be a bit wonky at times.
However, yeah, the new one is a bit of a pain when you're playing by yourself especially tag matches (haven't even tried 6 man tag)

I like the old one, but the new one works better all-around for me. The old one took a long time to load and set up, and being an Adobe flash program meant it would often slow down or not work quite right. This one is good to go at the click of a button. It's an entirely different experience and I can see the arguments against change, but I prefer the new.

The biggest problem I have with the new table is that it takes a lot longer to play a match. I think it was much easier to click on the card section you needed than to click on the dice and read it down the middle of the screen,the scrolling back and forth between the two cards and the new chart selection system are a lot more time consuming as well. I'll try to get used to it though

It's actually much faster to me. You click the section of offense or defense to get a move, you click the turnbuckle,ropes, etc to get the result so there's no more chart menu to pull up and scroll through. Everything you need is right on the screen at the click of a button. What do you mean by scrolling back and forth between two cards? As it was in beta you had to bring up different screens for the different cards but now you can summon up to six at once. I can see up to four cards with very little problem. The only time I have to scroll the screen is when I get six cards going at once. You can hit "Ctrl" and "-" to reduce the size of the cards if they don't both fit on your screen because of monitor resolution.

I just think the old chart menu was easier to scroll through without changing back and forth from the wrestlers stats. It's great that they finally have multi player up and running but the new table just seems like a lot more work. I helped someone roll out a card a few weeks ago and it took 3.5 hours to roll out 8 or 9 matches. I think the best game table is the one in my kitchen when it comes down to it

It's odd that two people can report such different experiences using the same interface. I just rolled a tag match with four of the ladies and it took five minutes. No scrolling, as they all four fit on my old, low-tech monitor quite nicely after I sized them down a few times. Like I wrote, the only time I have a problem with them not fitting is when I do six person tags.
Like you wrote, the cards and dice will always be king but this new system makes it quicker for me to play as opposed to the old one.

This is the card (125) that I mentioned that took almost three and a half hours to roll out filsingergames.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=gwfdeds&action=display&thread=7546&page=4To be fair it was my first time using the multi player table and there was a battle zone match. We started at 7PM then took a break for an hour at 9 so he could watch some zombie show. We started up again at 10pm and didn't finish until almost 11:30.
