if you don't like them.. you can turn them off.. Boon said it in a video or something you can turn off fatals and stage fatals...

if anything the fatality gimmick is enhanced by the death traps.

now we have 7 options of death in each match.
your 2 fatalities
your oppoents 2 fatalites
you and your oppoents hara kari
an the instant death trap.

the fatality is better then ever

I think the death trap con be avaliable on all the rounds!!
