My brother got the spinner belt.

He finished the RAW Season as a CAW and got it. I haven't done a season yet, so I don't know if it's just random that you get the spinner belt or if you have to finish the RAW Season as a CAW to get it.:-\

All I did was beat JBL with Cena in an a title match in exibition and I got the spinner belt.

For the spinner belt, Just defend or win the World Title in Exhibition and then you can choose if you want the Spinner or the regular title.

For the eliminate 10 people in a Royal Rumble challenge do I have to eliminate all 10 people with the guy I started with? Or does it have to be 10 total.

11-22-2005, 04:54 PM
I think it's by the guy you started with, and eliminated 10 by yourself, and not by double team eliminations.

McDoogle
11-22-2005, 04:58 PM
Is there any easy way of doing this? Can I do the SvR style of being Andre of Big Show and just tossing them out? If so how do you just lift them again?

Volchok
11-22-2005, 04:59 PM
Nah it can be double eliminations..

McDoogle
11-22-2005, 05:11 PM
But does it have to be with the same person you started with? Also how do you pick them up and toss them over the ropes with Andre and Big Show...I completely forgot.

DS
11-22-2005, 05:15 PM
Just pick anyone and then stay back until someone starts pushing someone else and just run up there and help them finish the guy off. Then run away. Get 10 then do whatever you want.

TerranRich
11-22-2005, 05:39 PM
To lift someone over your head, make sure you're at least 2 weight classes over them, and just grapple them while near the ropes. I believe any grapple will do.

Does anyone know how to do the Dirty Super Grapple Move Thingie? Is it Circle then Circle or something, while your momentum is high and a special is stored?

The camera on this years Elimination Chamber sucks.

It's really far away from the ring, and you can't see anything. Plus it doesn't help when the computer always tries to climb when it has a chance. It does that with the ladder too.:n:

ladder matches = suck with computer.

lol, horribly. I still think they're fun, even though it's cheap.

I was doing that Money in the Bank match with JBL and DiBiase, had Dibiase all the way in the red except for his arms. I go to grab the title, he pulls me down (I have NO damage whatsoever), goes up, and grabs the title before I can get up.

At that moment, a small child died.

11-22-2005, 07:39 PM
Yeah I was having a Ladder Match, it was My CAW ( Who is 99.:cool: ) VS Orlando ( Who is 85 I think. ), so I got his head, torso and legs all red and his arms orange.

I hit my finisher on him, and he was flat out. So I went for the belt, I was hanging there then OJ gets up and pulls me down, but as I'm recovering, OJ gets straight back up, climbs the ladder and wins the damn match!

My reaction: :eek:....:wtf:....:mad:....:rant:

And it annoys that when you go for a roll up, and when your opponent kicks out, they get up before you do, and you take another 20 seconds to get up.:nono:

Also the sepia finisher only works when you have full momentum and in a single match.

This might sound like a stupid question, but I have PS2 mini and can anyone tell me if Codebreaker will still work on it? I've had some trouble with the 4-player multi-tap (yes even the official one) and I want to know if I'd be wasting my money going out and buying one.

If my local Super K-Mart's return policy isnt' as strict as other places around here, I might go buy one, unlock everything on Smackdown, then take it back.

I just thought of an amazing challendge to have in the next game:

you enter the royal rumble 1st and whoever comes in second HAS to win, also, he's against you like normal so you have to watch out for him, while he sometimes tries taking you out, think how hard that would be..

TerranRich
11-23-2005, 11:55 AM
Yes, Code Breaker works with the Slim PS2. It's just a disc, no reason why it wouldn't work. Any games/discs that work with PS2 work with the Slim PS2.

And YES, Disturbed, I meant the Dirty Super Finisher. How STUPID of me to get one word wrong. I can't imagine how you ever figured out what I meant from my mangled wording.

Codebreaker saved me a lot of trouble. My fiance is staying over tonight so I had to clean up a little bit, so I decided to create a PPV and have it play while I cleaned.

I have to say that I'm pretty impressed with the game even in that respect. My WWE Tag Team Champions are Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit, and I had them against Chris Jericho and Christian in a ladder match. Eddie ended up winning the match for his team and I was just all over that. Although it's just a game, it was fun watching today's greats vs yesterday's greats. The PPV is at the Wrestlemania IX arena and I have a mix of Smakcdown, Raw, and Legends all through it.

Kane and Big Show defeated Mega Bucks (Ted Dibiase and Andre)

RVD won a 6 man over the top rope battle royal against Booker T, The Rock, The Undertaker, Ric Flair, and JYD.

Chris Benoit and Eddie Guerrero defeated Chris Jericho and Christian in a ladder match. (Awesome match by the way)

Triple H defeated John Cena.

JBL defeated Batista in a Last Man Standing Match.

Mankind, British Bulldog, and Jake Roberts defeated Randy Orton, Carlito, and Edge in an Elimination Tag match.

Shawn Michaels defeated Bret Hart in a Steel Cage match.

Stone Cold Steve Austin defeated Hulk Hogan.

Just about everyone I was rooting for lost but I was still impressed with how the matches carried out. This game is going to keep me entertained for a long time.

11-24-2005, 12:16 AM
like in HCTP?
Play as a character with dropping the dime or Eddies similar move.
beat up the ref and then knock him onto the ground.Start dropping the dime and, as you go on the apron have the other player punch you, if done right you will fall to the outside and be able to wander around. Them player 2 does the same move to the ref but this time player 1 punches player to and then you are both out the cage.

<font color=goldenrod>Anybody heard of the easy GM Mode exploit?

Basically, deactivate all of the big names at the start of GM Mode, leaving only midcarders and jobbers (before the draft) and then draft only one person (meaning the CPU takes the rest of the jobbers)

Activate all the big names in the free agent screen and skip your first show, and then after that go on a signing spree and take all the big names, giving you a roster of main eventers/legends and basically an easy GM Mode win

Pretty cheap, tbh. I'm gonna try to win the trophy the honest way......but if I go a few years without getting it I'll prolly use that cheat</font> :o

How exactly do you press slam guys over the top rope in Battle Royals.

You need to be two weight classes above the guy (If your facing Rey Rey, you have to be Heavyweight. If facing a heavyweight you need to be Ultra Weight a.k.a Andre etc) and I press right + O when near the ropes, but other directions work well.

First, get the negatives about this game off my chest.

Holy shit? Has ANYONE played a ladder match where the CPU did anything but getting the ladder, climbing it and trying to get the belt 100% of the time? Absolutely pathetic. This is my biggest criticism about the game.
Limiting the moveset and not allowing that freedom for picking whatever moves you want. Probably makes the characters more realistic by restricting them to three styles, but I prefered that freedom.
Again, there isn't a playlist option. Aside from two songs, I'm really disliking the songtrack once again (on a sidenote, thank fuck that nothing by Zebrahead is on the soundtrack). THQ/Yukes, would it REALLY be that hard to include in the options a playlist option so you can deselect songs that you hate?
Speaking of songs, they got rid of the original BGMs, and I was looking forward to giving the Hogans the Blue Danube. :(
I'm slightly annoyed by the game that in previous games, when you created a new character, you were given a few creation points that you could upgrade a little before you played a match and it isn't in this game. Although as soon as the infinite creation points are unlocked, this will no longer be a problem.Now, don't get the impression that, from all the negatives I listed, that I dislike this game, because I don't. I love it. I'm really loving CAE (aside from the forementioned 'water bottle' annoyance), I'm loving this new design for CAW and how intensive it is. Graphic-wise, they're scaring me with the detail. I can't even imagine how realistic some of the wrestlers are going to look when the Smackdown series hits PS3. I've always been a fan of the commentary, and I feel that they've outdone themselves this time. Playing a match, listening to Cole and Tazz have a discussion about a particular wrestler... *puts on a afro wig* That's cool.

There's so many more postives I could add to this, but to be honest, I'm sure that very few people have bothered to read this from start-to-finish, so I'll cut it off here and simply say on a scale of 1 to 10, this gets a 9 from me.

The commentary isn't that good, really.

My biggest problem with the game isn't the ladder matches (because I don't play them alot anyway) but the Elimination Chamber matches. The AI like doesn't understand the concept. Everytime somebody is being pinned or in a submission hold the other computer guy will walk over and keep bumping into the pin/submission. Wicked annoying.

loopydate
11-25-2005, 06:55 PM
I don't mind the commentary, although it's a little weird sometimes. For example, they have Eddie as a heel in the game, except Cole keeps talking about how much he loves Eddie and how much the fans are really getting behind him, but the fans are booing their heads off at him. I'm sure that's just a problem where they recorded the commentary tracks too early, but still...

Also, it pisses me off that they ALWAYS interrupt themselves for reversals, no matter how minor. They could be a minute and a half into this huge diatribe (that's actually kind of entertaining), but you miss ONE punch, and the thing slams to a halt with a "You're not gonna get him with THAT one!" No shit, JR. You were saying?

But it does feel a lot better than in previous games. Although, once again, given the choice between commentary and a slightly larger roster, I'll take the slightly larger roster any day. I can provide my own commentary.

Cool King

I was thinking about doing my pros and cons of the game but I didn't do it.

So I'll do them now!:D

CONS!

1: The Ladder match, or any match you can climb something. The computer climbs it 100% of the time. (Like what The Fugitive said)

2: The Joint PPV's. Whenever I pick to have a match at a joint PPV Arena I always get Tazz and Cole. I would like to hear J.R and Jerry if I'm having a RAW Match.

3: No Original Music.

4: The playlist. It's driving me nuts! Everyday I'm hearing the same thing over and over again! I don't hate rap but I do hate Bumpy Knuckles.

5: Taking a pic for your CAW. You can't do it the good way in this game. so all your CAW's have the same expression. Kinda like this---->:| So when I go through my CAW's I see this.

:|
:|
:|
:|
:|
:|
:|

But in the last game you got to move there face and pick a cool expression.

6: Stamina. Now I'm all for the stamina being there but I don't think it's fair that your stamina goes down when you taunt. Why would you be out of breath when the only thing you have done is raise your arm?

7: Taunts. Now I like the taunts in the game. I like that there are brand new ones and some original ones, but the thing that annoys me is that they are far to slow. I pick a taunt where I raise my arm Undertaker_Style and the taunt takes a full 6 seconds to do! now by that time, my opponent could have gotten up anf hit me or if he's a heel, taken 2 turnbucles off AND hit me.

8: Rob Conway doesnt have his proper music!:mad:

9: Profile. I hate having a profile. Because you have one and you don't want to get a black mark on it by losing soyou have to try harder to win. But because your thinking about you might lose and get a black mark, you can't concentrate on the match, so you lose.:-\

10: Places: The lack of place names suck. Because the only British places you get is England, Blackpool and Manchester. Now I live in Scotland and it annoys me that I can't have Scotland as my hometown. I don't know why they didn't put it in because you might make Roddy Piper and you don't have a place in Scotland to give to him.

11: Voices. Just like Place Names, there is a crappy selection of voices, and there ALL American accents. Just say you want to make a character and he's from Japan. You can't because you don't have a Japanese accent to give to him.

12: Entrance Attire: The lack of entrance attire sucks. The only person who has the entrance attire is Flair. What about Masters, Edge, Hurricane and Dupree?

13: Commentating: It really old. I heard Tazz talk about how he use to like Beniot but because he's on RAW now, he's not as good. And Cole talk about how he would love to have Batista on SmackDown!:wtf:

PROS!

1: The finisher cameras. I love the way you get to pick what they do. Most of the time I pick the spinning camera.:y:

2: The commentating. I like the way the just blab about anything and some of the jokes are funny too.

3: CAB. Thank God it's cheaper to make a belt this time!

4: CAW. 3D At Last! No more skin tight shirts.

5: Canadian Flag!: Eventually, after about 6 games THQ have finaly put the Canadian Flag into CAW!:D

6: GM Mode: That is all.:D

7: Season: It's bigger better and funnier than last year.

8: Hogan: You know it was coming. But I'm happy to see Hogan in the game.

9: Titles: I'm happy you can defend Title whenever the hell you want too. and you get to see the history of it too.

Well that's it.

If I do remember something I'll post the number and talk about it.

So overall I give this game 98%.:D

I have a few problems with the game, but I have to admit I'm so busy being impressed I rarely think about them.

As far as all of the complaining about the ladder match, well count me in.

Some of the things that stand out the most to me are as follows.

1. The fact that the heel opponents try to get themselves disqualified. It really, really adds some realism to the Title Matches.

2. The Stamina System: I hate playing 2 player games with people who have no idea what they're doing, constantly reversing due to lucky button mashing, running around so you can't hit them, and just being annoying. Now if they run away or button mash they pretty much pass out. Great addition!

3. I don't know if anyone has checked out the "Advanced Options" yet, but you can set the AI to reverse more or less, among other things. So a lot of the problems you have with the AI can be fixed by you. Great idea.

The only thing that really bothers me is that it's too easy to knock the refs around by mistake and get DQed. That's a pain in the ass if you're not paying attention.

Other than that, it's pretty solid. I haven't even touched CAW or GM mode yet because I've been busy, but I'm sure they're great.

Online is great if you can put up with the lag. I had a pretty good ladder match with someone even though there was a shit load of lag.

Ok I got the urn as SCSA on SD. It depends on what options you choose through out story.Like who you accuse of hitting Long (RVD or Cena) I'd assume.
If its the RVD glitch I think you mean then you power whip them into the crowd barrier and then you stand on the apron (run at the apron and tap square) and not the turnbuckle and then you do a diving kick. Infact its not RVD it can be anyone you just need to give them the "Diving kick" or something in create a move set

For those of you with complaints about the music in the game, you can turn the music off under the options menu at Sound Options.

What would be cool is if in the next game they play WWE themes instead of having Bumpy Nuckles and Bumpy Nuckles songs playing in the background. Like how you can turn each individual loading screen on or off, you could turn the themes that play on the menus on or off. So if you just wanted to hear John Cena and Batista's music, you could turn the two on and they'd alternate.

Does Eddie appear in season at all after the buried alive match?

Kenny
11-27-2005, 06:25 PM
In regaurds to seeing Eddie in the casket, I haven't had that storyline yet but one thing that did really get me was seeing him run out of stamina. The way he grabbed his chest and fell to his knees was an odd feeling.

For those of you who don't know I've spent about a year now studying the Bible and learning a bit about Jesus Christ. I've learned so much and found so much comfort. Prior to Eddie's death I had no idea he was a Christian, but after hearing the testamonies of WWE superstars and staff I know he wasn't just a Christian, but a very good one. In Edge's phone interview on WWE.com he talks about Eddie reading the Bible to the Big Show and that Eddie bought a Bible for Edge himself. To my SHOCK, RVD even talked about learning about Christ from Eddie Guerrero.

I know we all have our different views on religion and whatnot, and I'm not here to try to pull anyone in. But as a Christian hearing these kinds of things about Eddie offers me so much comfort. Both his life and death had some great lessons for me.

Today when I play Smackdown I act like Eddie never died. I have him as my co-Smackdown tag champ along with Chris Benoit. They make an awesome in-game team and I can't imagine what kind of team they could have been in real life. Next time I play with a friend I'd like to pull a top rope headbutt on one side of the ring, followed by a frog splash on the opposite.

The "generic" RAW storyline is: Uneasy Allies (starring HHH, Flair, and Shelton); the "Special" tag team storyline with Eugene, Real, Edge, Christian & Torrie; and then "Time To Rumble" where you play the triple threat or the Iron Man match to get your spot in the Royal Rumble. If you play as HHH or Shelton, the first story becomes the WWE Legends Tour. If you play as Eugene, Real, Edge or Christian, the 2nd storyline becomes WWE Legends Tour (since they're in the "Special" storyline).

As for Smackdown, I haven't explored it as much as I have RAW. I'm sure it's the same. For example, since Eddie is in the "Urn Your Spot" storyline, you get the Legends Tour (I think) if you play AS Eddie.

It was time for the first Joint-Brand PPV since Wrestlemania, Raw had no high level fueds to feed off, and Smackdown was given the Main event slot, Smackdown had good united states and world title matches, I had to go all out if I was going to beat them.

My first match was a 6 man battle royal for the IC title and my second match was a 4 man ladder match for the WWE title, Both titles were held and retained by John Cena, my Main event was Steve Austin Vs The undertaker in a 60 Minute Ironman Match, both title matches got four stars while the Ironman match got a 5 star rating, The next night John Cena had 7/9ths of his fatigue bar filled, so I'm not putting him in any huge matches for a bit.

In his season mode, Hurricane had a title shot and JR and King were talking about "not the usual title match here" and "Hurricane has the odds stacked against him" before Triple H smacked him with the sledgehammer and pinned him in what King called "the quickest title match ever".

What the fuck? They wasted space with duplicate names and left out the obvious choices like Jillian, Melina, and Animal.

I'm serious though, it's not just a rhetorical question. Somebody please tell me the differences between the above pairs of names and I will rep you.

Oh, Divas, they should be able to be playable in bar brawls and last (wo)man standing and all the others.

THQ cutting them out of those matches was piss poor. Wonder if it was another Act of Vince.

Batsu
11-28-2005, 08:26 PM
Oh yeah, BTW...

This game gets a 90%, maybe a 91%.

The gripes I have with the game keep it from getting a 100%...and it's annoying because it was certainly possible with this title. Hope I don't have to shell out megabucks for a PS3 to play the next installment.

Since there's so many positives with this game, let's start with the cons:

from a "legal" standpoint, unlocking Jake The Snake with a PSP only? Thumbs down. (Hello, Codebreaker)

I can live with the Divas not bleeding (now), and not being in First Blood matches as a result. But to take them (and their CAW counterparts) out of every match worth a damn? Thumbs down. This better not have been a WWE thing. (Again, hello Codebreaker...)

Auto-save always being on? Crap. At least give the option to shut it off.

It was great to see a lot of moves reanimated, and some new moves (however unexciting they are) in the mix. But some of the omissions seem a little excessive. Since they went to the trouble of using Rumble Roses parts in CAW, they should have jacked some of the moves from there (particularly Evil Rose's finisher, that looks a lot like the Canadian Destroyer). And bring back the REAL F.U. (Samoan Driver), dammit.

I think that they should really implement a tug-of-war system for "out-of-weight-class-range" grapples. Since we've actually seen Rey Rey do grapples to those he (in this game) wouldn't be able to lift, they should do this No Mercy style, and give a Momentum Bonus for success. By no means should a Diva or Cruiserweight lift a Super Heavyweight, but they should be able to lift Light Heavyweights and Heavyweights with a little extra effort. Victoria, for example, probably could suplex HHH in a match. Ditto for London to Cena, or HBK to a Lesnar-type.

The lack of truly "original" themes (that have been in SmackDown since the third installment) in CAW kind of sucks.

Create an Entrance needs a few tweaks. The pyro timing is kind of off, if you try to replicate the entrances of Batista or Kane.

Others have discussed the problems with gimmick matches, but I won't discuss them here.

Otherwise, the rest of this game gets thumbs way, way up, especially with the way they "hid" Rock, Austin, and CAW EXP points. I shouldn't have to Codebreaker things like Divas in certain gimmick matches or Jake The Snake, though.

Without that PB&J, this game would have been an easy 100%.... even more so since this is the only game that's gonna have Hassan in it, ever.

I had a CAW with jackhammer as a finisher on smackdown's season mode, teamed up with triple h to face cena and angle in a hell in a cell match

we somehow did the Jackhammer and Pedigree at the same time, I pinned angle, he pinned cena, the ref counted to 3 on triple h, but we both had them pinned, it was awesome [/easily impressed]

That's because they had to have used the Rock's premade CAW face. That CAW's crap. Tazz's eyes are closer together in real life and he has thicker eyebrows, and slightly smaller eyes.

In similar news, I made a Jillian Hall CAW from scratch (her wrestling attire from Velocity last month and face mask). I'll put up the formulas if anybody wants.

Use two controllers, or before the draft, take out all the main eventers and just leave the jobbers/fillers. select one of them click start then go to the free agents turn on the main eventers and then draft them.

Um.. When it's at the draft screen look at the bottom there should be something that says Roster somthing push whatever button it says to push then it will give the whole roster of superstars then when you get to all the main events press O to turn them off, then do the same thing in the free agents list when you start the GM Mode.

I kinda cheated. I started GM mode up and did the draft regular.

I used Legends if that counts as cheating, eventhough the other show had legends as well.

And be able to create how many promos there are in matches. Like instead of having 2 promos on each show, you can have like 4 or so? I think that would be good.

Edit them how? You mean like in No Mercy? How many times does this need to be explained?

The No Mercy wrestlers were based on the CAW feature, so you could basically completely change a wrestler. Ever since then, they have ALL been customized models. Which is why you can't edit them, add stuff to them, or change anything about them.

It's honestly no big deal. Just pretend their outfits aren't outdated, or make CAWs of them to "replace" them if it's that big of a deal.

Basically, he's dressed in all blue and he has leg and arm paint. It's white squiggly's. He has white hands (gloves) and red sneakers. He has a mask with a blue horn. On his stomach and back he has a square brown smudge. He kind of looks like the evil mailbox from Toejam and Earl. I hope thats a good description.

His entrance is killer. He starts out with aerobics, then he does the Paul London sprint to the ring, does the aerobic dive through the bottom rope, then the Paul London backflip off the rope. He has London's music, too. His moves are all speed and luchadore.

But what made me post this is that it says that THQ will lose the WWE license in 2009, and Activision is expected to pick up the license after them.

Now, If Activision does get the license. Do you think they will make good WWE games or will they just make WWE games that suck?

I laugh out loud when I forget to judge the distance and then fall off if I'm too close. I simply tell myself that I should've done it farther from the edge and I pretend it was a planned spot. ;)

I really don't see what's so bad about PS2's HIAC matches over Gamecube's. I've played all three games (WrestleMania 21, DOR 2, and SVR 2006) and I still prefer SVR 2006's HIAC over the other two.

realistic? who cares, it's a game

top of the cell fights are supposed to be fun, not make you worried about falling off by doing moves
