Pretty fucking cool. Check out some of the other new vids.

[Xero]

Fucking hell, the blood system is fucking AWESOME. Quite ironic, since we never see it on TV anymore.

[Xero]

Looking forward to this, need to trade some stuff in and I'll probably get it mid-next week.

[D Mac]

Yeah, I should have enough money. Don't know whether to get the PS3 or 360 version. Some games have been freezing up on my 360 so I'm wary about buying new games for it.

#2. ‟Stone Cold” Steve Austin
http://ps3media.ign.com/ps3/image/article/103/1030601/igns-wwe-smackdown-vs-raw-hall-of-fame-20091015115957951.jpg

Was there ever a doubt that Stone Cold Steve Austin would make our list? The man was one of the pioneers of the Attitude era and Vince McMahon's rival for more Pay Per Views than most would care to remember.

Thing is, Austin was never super-popular because of his in-ring prowess. Sure, the Stone Cold Stunner was a great move, but it was only A-W-E-S-O-M-E because it usually was done on top of the announce table, with someone spewing beer as they went down, or with D-Lo Brown flipping around after the fact.

All that said, we're picking Austin from WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2008 because this grappler is how we'll want to remember Steve in games -- a solid entrance, a black vest, the middle finger, and a whole lot of glaring. He's not in Jean shorts, he's not driving a beer truck, and he's not all roided-out like Legends of WrestleMania.

This is the Rattlesnake, and we miss him.

[DAMN iNATOR]

#1. Brock Lesnar
http://ps3media.ign.com/ps3/image/article/103/1030601/igns-wwe-smackdown-vs-raw-hall-of-fame-20091014093009891.jpg

Oh, Brock Lesnar, why did you have to be such a dick and quit the WWE?
In WWE SmackDown! Here Comes the Pain, you were nothing short of a brain- stomping powerhouse.

Do you, reader, remember the first time you throttled someone as Brock? The way he swung his fist and tape-wrapped wrist? The way he physically dwarfed everyone in the ring? The way the F-5 left other characters destroyed on the ground? The way you played -- mouth agape -- as you ran over challenger after challenger with those massive clotheslines? Those are memories that will stay with us forever.

The saddest part about all of this is that Brock was such an ass when he left the company, we probably (never say never in the WWE) won't ever see him as a Legend in a future title. I mean this guy was one of the most powerful characters in the history of the franchise and we'll only have Here Comes the Pain's goofy cover to remember him by.

Damn you, Brock. Welcome to the SmackDown Hall of Fame.

[Triple Naitch]

Thank god that's over.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Thank god that's over.

Yeah. If Greg had made some smarter picks and maybe re-positioned some of the guys who belonged there, it might have been a half-decent list. But, seriously, Brock Lesnar as #1? I'd rank him probably #5 at the absolute lowest, but he definitely should not have taken top honors.

[thecc]

missing the point, huh

[DAMN iNATOR]

missing the point, huh

Not at all. While nobody can doubt that Brock did some pretty amazing stuff during his roughly 2 years in WWE, he's still pretty far from deserving to be mentioned with some of today's and yesterday's top WWE talents. You know who I mean, guys like Jericho, Jeff Hardy, Punk, Austin, Rock, Benoit, Flair, Perfect, "Hitman", "Piper", Sammartino, etc., etc., etc.

So, like I said before, he was definitely deserving of a spot on that list, just not #1.

And to address your point, thecc, yes it was pretty ridiculous to make up that list by Greg in the first place. The only reason I can think of as to why it may have been done is that they wanted to put together an article that they felt could replace the SmackDown! Countdown from years previous. Obviously that was a huge flop, and should never be attempted again.

[Xero]

I thought the point of the article was for the in-game characters, not the wrestlers themselves.

In that case, Brock easily wins. He was easily the most dominating in the games.

If even YOU thought it was an odd idea for that Greg guy to do a list, why did you feel compelled to post it in this thread? THAT is the point. This isn't a flame. I'm just trying to figure out your motive here.

[Kalyx triaD]

Okay, we wanted this for years... And now I think we're about ready for an actual TPWW program with SvR10. I will never let rest the absurdity of this board never having a successful meeting/tourny/league/promotion with the game since it became online enabled. There were many factors (XB360 owners, online connectivity, meeting times, so on), but I think we ironed out some of the complicated stuff. Most of us are Gold Members so there's a major hurdle handled. PS3 owners suck it.

How will this work? Well after some thought I figure it works somewhere in between cfed, league, tourny, and 'wild west' rules. Also, for the sake of a form of fairness - I thought about certain restrictions regarding the CAWs we would enter... All of these ideas stem from how we meet, and why we don't meet, in these online games. I believe I found an elegant way of doing this. These ideas also stem from how me and a buddy been doing it for a fuckin decade. Some things you can trust me on.

First of all, I think it would be kick-ass to do this 'para-kayfabe'. It would operate as a promotion called True Pro World Wrestling (TPWW). We would have one show to start (and choose a PPV arena to be 'our' arena), and these shows will be made up of matches set up by a real TPWW Commissioner (who will also be para-kayfabe). The name of the show will merely be the name of the arena we choose.

We will all enter one CAW into TPWW. There will be standards. I'm sorry, but I don't wanna fight one of those 'joke' CAWs with chicken masks or some shit, how about you? Be individualistic, of course, but I hope we can agree that if we can't see him in real life, head back to the drawing board (and don't be personally offended). This 'company' will only support singles competition for now. If you want to participate, lend (or in my case, make) a CAW especially for TPWW's promotion.

Let's talk about attributes. This is very important, because we all know how it is to face over-buffed characters in games that support upgradable characters with online versus modes. Some of us have time to buff up a CAW into a 99 rated god, some of us don't. What we did at home was ignore stat collecting altogether and keep our CAWs on even ground, and it kept it fun. However, because of how they structured CAWs in the last few years we should allow upgrading to a certain extent. Something to be done quickly. The new abilities system (and how you stupidly collect them instead of just choosing them) influences this as well.

The first TPWW show should be a big deal, and handled similarly to the real shows in the Wrestling Forum. Threads with card previews and results and all. Also, promos will be cut right here. All the drama and shit talk in text (a cfed borrow). However, I don't think Story Creator will serve us well in an online meet up. A show doesn't have to happen in one night, a 'broadcast' lasts as long as it takes for us to meet up and have our matches. I recommend we stretch one kayfabe night into a week or so. After each match members can cut a promo right here. A real week should look like one night of programming. After four shows, we have a PPV. If you're in a program with another member, coincide via PMs to really entertain the others. Why not? Wrestling's fake! Set up surprise finishes and 'scripts'!

So in summary:


We have some online exhibition matches, test the waters.
We create, slightly buffer, and submit CAWs to TPWW's inaugural roster.
A Commissioner is chosen. He may create a CAW as well, play heel or face, and join the action at times. He will be in charge of setting up the card however.
Somebody (not necessarily the Commish) will make an official thread hyping this show (hopefully a VG/Wrestling Forum simulcast). He posts the cards the Commish sets up in the OP. After each match, similar to the SF4 Tourny, updates will be posted. Members with an upcoming match can cut promos after this (scripted or improved, both has uses).
Repeat until a 'night' is concluded.
Then we mull over the event and whether we can keep that up for a full season!


This is the most elegant, sensible way I see this happening based on past meet-ups and my own experience with playing out CAW promotions. Khuntri's seen this first hand, he knows what time it is. And we've seen us have some decent meet ups too. What do you guys say?

[D Mac]

Yeah I aint reading all that.

[Kalyx triaD]

That's really sad.

But the summary wraps it up nicely.

[D Mac]

I'll probably end up getting the ps3 version anyway. Because you can copy the custom music directly to the ps3 instead of having to burn a disc and ripping it to the 360.

[Kalyx triaD]

It really isn't that tedious a chore. It's well worth it for that extra cool intro. But we purchase things for our own reasons, I guess.

[The Mackem]

I worry that you will get a load of people that will drop out of your 'vision' at the most frustrating times. Good luck though, anyway.

[Kalyx triaD]

The slow pace fits the structure, but I hope we can get at least one good show going.

[PorkSoda]

So this comes out Tuesday?

I won't be able to get it till NEXT Monday. :'(

[FourFifty]

Wait, it comes out the same day as the Batista DVD?


SWEEEEET! ONE MORE REASON NOT TO GET THE BATISTA DVD!!!!!!!

[The Jayman]

I thought "Batista DVD" was more than enough reason not to get the Batista DVD

[Anybody Thrilla]

"Diarrhea for sale!!!" is a reason to not get the Batista DVD.

[D Mac]

Dave rules.

[D Mac]

I'm already trying to come up with a story that allows the player to beat the shit out of Cena on several occasions.

[Disturbed316]

I'm all for a fed, but it will most likely fall flat on its arse.

[D Mac]

I've come up with a name for my story.

Cena does NOT overcome the odds!

[Lord-Of-Darkness]

Already put together the outline for a story. I want a monster heel faction to tear through the roster, picking up members as they go. Then have them war it out with top face stars for like a year. Attitude style.

[loopydate]

nWo style! God, I miss the nWo...

[DAMN iNATOR]

Certainly you don't mean the WWF/WWE nWo, because that shit was stupid. Now if you mean the WCW nWo factions, I entirely agree. But the thing about the WWF/E nWo was that they booked most of it so stupidly that the once 3-man group, grew to such massive proportions, that finally it just basically imploded, I believe starting with the kicking out of the nWo of Booker T.

[loopydate]

I definitely mean about the first year of the WCW nWo. Once they started letting everyone and their mom join (and then again during their horrible WWE run), it was way less fun. But Hall, Nash, Hogan, Syxx, Giant, Bischoff, Bagwell, Norton, etc. The real nWo. Where week in and week out, you didn't know whether they were going to cover up the set with their own logo, recruit a new member, arbitrarily beat the shit out of the participants in a match... Best TV WCW ever produced.

[FourFifty]

I've come up with a name for my story.

Cena does NOT overcome the odds!

Omg we NEED to have a contest for this! Who can make the best Cena does NOT overcome the odds" Create A Storyline contest!

[D Mac]

Also thinking about making one where you end Taker's Mania streak.

[D Mac]

I have to get a USB keyboard.

<font color=goldenrod>Jesus Christ...right out of the GamingRing review:

""So if you just happen to download a Zack Ryder CAS from online you will not be able to edit in his music, fix his moveset as you see fit, or any other aspect of the character"

I knew we couldn't edit appearance...but can't edit moves or music either? :| And since I'm assuming custom music will once again not be allowed online, that means no CAWs will have the right themes unless they come with the game...

Fucking hell, the top two things I was looking forward to (Create-a-Storyline and CAW Download) are both flawed to shit. I guess it still beats having to spend hours on complicated formulas, but what the fuck THQ...why can't we edit fucking anything?

"It's Your World Now!"...lol</font>

Figured as much. I wonder if you could copy them then edit. Probably not.

Guess if I want custom music on CAW I'll have to make them myself.

I'd be up for that tbh, but yeah, looks like it'd fall on its face. Not enough people would be willing to stick with it.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I'd do it, but I have a PS3, so fuck you guys.

[LuigiD]

IGN AUS has a review out for the PS2 version..it says that the PS2 version does not have the caw limit for CAS.

[Sovereigntywillpr]

so you will be able to download CAW's again this year? It drove me nuts that they took that out last year....


will there be an online royal rumble?

and Can I play in the Fed as Orton or Dibiasee or does it HAVE to be a CAW?

[D Mac]

No online Rumble from what I understand.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>UGH. Even more bad news from submission vids on Youtube:

---

Only Hell's Gate, single leg crab, Heel hold, and glam slam are new "Struggle submissions", as in tappable submissions.

The rest are are "rest hold"-struggle submissions.

these include

Both Ankle locks
Regal stretch
All 3 Tazmissions ( now listed as Half Nelson Chokes)
Double Chickenwing lift
California Dream
Celtic Knot
Inverted Fig 4 Leglock.
Cloverleaf (Haas of Pain)
Romero special (ceiling hold)
and Koslov's leg sweep armbar combo. No tapping.

---

So if you make a Kurt Angle CAW, nobody will tap to the Ankle Lock. Christ this game sounds worse with every update. Shame I'm a sucker and will still buy it first day.</font> :o

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Apparently so.</font>

[Fignuts]

Garbage. Will get borderlands, and wait til next year to see if these crappy ristrictions are lifted.

[redoneja]

I was looking forward to this but now I feel kinda meh about it. Think I'll pull out the ps2 and fire pro for a bit.

[D Mac]

Meh I don't use submissions anyway.

[Kalyx triaD]

Well some people do and those restrictions are a black mark on the overall engine.

[D Mac]

Sucks to be them.

[Kalyx triaD]

Yeah, it does.

[Kalyx triaD]

And to bring up an old issue I had, journalist aren't giving them enough shit during press about this matter. It's been a few years now for fuck's sake.

[D Mac]

I can't believe that the STFU would not be tappable, since it's Cena.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>That list didn't include already tappable moves.

The big deal is they hyped more tappable submission moves this year but then made like 5 more of them tappable. Typical.</font>

[James Steele]

I never got someone to tap to a non Struggle Submission move when I had them as finishers and was a submission specialist.

[Verbose Minch]

I never got someone to tap to a non Struggle Submission move when I had them as finishers and was a submission specialist.

I did it as Tazz.

Pedigree over the top?</font> :cool:

[Kalyx triaD]

That's cute.

[James Steele]

I bet T-Bone Suplex 6 looks badass.

[Lord-Of-Darkness]

I bet something like the Pedigree Rumble finisher will just be - Pegidree > oppenent struggles up > running clothesline to the outside. I mean, how else could they do it?

SCM as a rumble finish would be cool. Kind of like HBK > Diesel in 95

[Lord-Of-Darkness]

I did it as Tazz.

How the hell did you do that? I once Tazz once, got the other guy on complete red, and applied the tazzmission everytime a finisher came up. Went on for like 10 mins after I beat him down. And nothing. I had to finish with a tazzplex and pin

[CSL]

SCM as a rumble finish would be cool. Kind of like HBK > Diesel in 95

Just to be a bitch, 96

But yeah, loving how much effort they seemed to have put into revamping the Rumble. Just a shame it's out the same week as Evo. Probably pick it up in a few weeks.

LOL chicken head Vince.

Think I wanna do Orton's storyline first to unlock the Legacy's dads.

And TBK has a big role in Mickie's storyline.</font> :cool:
The Rock is an unlockable? I thought he was download only or whatever.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>They said that "The Rock will be available at some point via transferrable code" to everyone. Which I think pretty much means if you ordered from Play.com or whatever you got the code for The Rock from the get-go. Whereas Austin will only be unlockable via GameStop pre-order.

I like that Champion of Champions belt...amazed they actually put ECW on it.</font>

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>And apparently, there is slated to be a DLC download within a couple of weeks of the game's release...meant to be a big surprise.

Have a feeling it will be something lame...or some gay shit like everyone gets to unlock Austin even though it was supposed to be Gamestop exclusive.

But, if it's new current characters or some sort of patch that allows us to use CAWs in offline CAS mode, or lets us edit downloaded CAWs, or something...that would rule. Not counting on it though.</font>

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

If it's a fix for what they did wrong such as un-editable DL CAWs, or even Yoshi or Ryder I may fork up the 5-10$ it'll be.

[Lord-Of-Darkness]

3 attires for HBK? Anybody know if you can edit alternate attires as well?

[D Mac]

Yeah if there's a patch it should be free but I doubt there will be one at all.

[Triple Naitch]

I wonder what the Special Santino DAS Story involves?

Either way, plenty of unlockables this year. :y:

[D Mac]

Working on another story where it's the DX vs Rated RKO fued renewed but you control Rated RKO.

[CSL]

Be pretty sweet if The Rock was involved in Edge's RTWM story, even without a voiceover

[Anybody Thrilla]

Working on another story where it's the DX vs Rated RKO fued renewed but you control Rated RKO.

Working on? Maybe you should wait to see what you can actually do before you start writing storylines?

[Evil Vito]

Yeah if there's a patch it should be free but I doubt there will be one at all.

<font color=goldenrod>Yep. THQ/Yuke's just do a really shitty job with some things. It seems as though their concern with CAWs was that people would download them but then re-upload them as their own.

The simple solution would be to just put downloaded CAWs into a different section and you aren't allowed to re-upload or copy them.....this allows free editing without anybody losing credit for their creations. But instead they pick an option that limits it.</font>

[Kane Knight]

Working on? Maybe you should wait to see what you can actually do before you start writing storylines?

don't be such a debby downer.

(Besides, he's probably been "working on" this for like a year, and now he just happens to have an outlet....)

[FourFifty]

I'm currently working on an outline for a story. It's pretty much Sports Entertainment vs Wrestling. 4 on 4 feud that works it's way up to Survivor Series.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Wow. :| Apparently there is one thing that CAN be edited with downloaded CAWs...their stats. Because they all start at the default OVR rating when you download them. :| You have to build them all up separately.

While this isn't a huge deal, as CAWs can be built up hella quick this year even if they are just a CPU character in a match, and it gives you control over the OVR (prevents you from having to d/l a Zack Ryder CAW and see it be 99 OVR)...so gay we can edit that yet not edit the fucking theme music.</font>

[jaycool2k]

If anyone is on now check out http://www.justin.tv/byron_tv1

Seem to have the game and broadcasting it...

[Verbose Minch]

How the hell did you do that? I once Tazz once, got the other guy on complete red, and applied the tazzmission everytime a finisher came up. Went on for like 10 mins after I beat him down. And nothing. I had to finish with a tazzplex and pin

I just beat the crap out of him then I locked it on. He tapped, I dunno. I didn't do anything special.

[Lord-Of-Darkness]

For anyone that hasn't read this yet. A link from the official site to a Q&A with one of the designers.

"We had removed the Crippler Crossface the past couple of years because of the Benoit incident, but as a wrestling fan myself, I've noticed (and have been noticing) that a lot of people like Triple H and Shawn Michaels doing the Crossface, so... we got it back! This year, in SmackDown vs. Raw 2010.

It is a struggle submission, and we've got that back, as well as couple of new moves that we didn't have."

CROSSFACE CROSSFACE, WOO WOO WOO

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>LOL the game glitched in the final entrants of the Royal Rumble

Swagger was pushed under the ropes but froze on the outside</font>

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

Not only is the Crossface in, but Macho Man's Rope Hung Leap is in as well as the Macho Elbow.

[Fignuts]

Can't wait to create Benoit and murder some fools.

[DAMN iNATOR]

I'm guessing the best Eddie CAW's that people create for others to download will be excellent as well.

[thecc]

I guess some Game Stops are doing a midnight release for this.

[D Mac]

don't be such a debby downer.

(Besides, he's probably been "working on" this for like a year, and now he just happens to have an outlet....)

No not really. Just jotting down some events and matches leading up to a PPV where it ends.

[taker707]

anyone found any torrents for this yet for ps3 found a bunch for xbox 360

[CSL]

Why? PS3's are nigh on impossible to 'chip'

[DAMN iNATOR]

I guess some Game Stops are doing a midnight release for this.

Is there a list of participating locations somewhere? I tried checking their site, but couldn't find any further info. about this, and as I have a copy reserved at a store near me, you can see where I might be interested in finding this info, OBVI...

[D Mac]

Wal Mart Supercenter.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I got a call from my GameStop saying they were having a midnight release (I pre-ordered)...and told me to come at 10 PM so that my order can be processed just after midnight.

As if there are going to be that many people that you'd need to go 2 hours early. :lol: I'll just grab it during my lunch break tomorrow and then will be playing a couple hours later after I finish with classes for the day.</font>

[thecc]

They said the same thing for ghostbusters and there were only 2 other people there besides me.

[jaycool2k]

For people in the UK, is anyone going to somewhere like Tesco to pick this up after midnight? Or has everyone just pre ordered with game and stuff like that?

[FourFifty]

Just got a call from GameCrazy. They have my copy in.... I wonder if they can be bribed....

[D Mac]

Good things come to those who wait.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I'm gonna pick this up tomorrow after work.

[Shaggy]

I still have my giftcard from when I picked up up ODST- I guess I can head to TRU to use it.

The only two good deals I have seen for the game so far are-

Best Buy: $10 ppv cash and any WWE dvd except Batista only $5 with purchase with game.

Toys R Us: Free Action figure....I now the year before last it was a Rey Mysterio figure...and last year it was a DX two pack. Dont know what it is this year because Ive been gone for a 2 weeks.

[FourFifty]

Not gonna run down and try to bribe anyone. Gonna spend tonight with my gf. WOOOOO!!!

However, Wednesday I'm going to ROCK at that game.

[LuigiD]

I ordered mine on amazon since I had a ton of gift cards. I guess I will have to wait a few days :|

[Fryza]

When any of you CAW guys get the game, let me know if you can make the game's last dude's preset face. This new one is pretty awful.

[Lux]

gonna grab this today.

[D Mac]

Our first gay storyline.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Getting it in a few hours. Pritty excited.</font>

[Lord-Of-Darkness]

Does anyone know what NPC's are available in CAS?

Also, can you use the Superstar Threads alternate attires in CAS?

Its a shame it doesn't hit the UK until Friday, but I'm looking forward to it.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I was watching a JTV stream of somebody playing...seems like ALL the NPCs are available. Roberts, Chimel, Lilian, Ross, Tazz, King, Cole, Grisham, Striker, the ref, Shane...didn't see if Long or Vickie were in the game but if so they'll prolly be usable as well</font>

[Xero]

So I picked it up. Haven't played yet, but despite not pre-ordering, I got the code for Austin anyway, it came inside the game. Either this is for everyone or for the first shipment. Either way, :cool:.

[Xero]

There's bruising in the game, I suppose to show what body parts are injured (Cena's back is all red now). Holy shit. This is awesome.

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

The unlockables was posted on the last page. I got my copy and am playing it right now, you can manually target again but you need to set it up in options.

[Nark Order]

I like it alot so far. But wait a second on the superstar threads deal. You can't actually change their attire? Just the color of it?

[Xero]

Yeah.

[The Jayman]

afraid so

[Nark Order]

lol, what's the point of that then?

[Xero]

It's better that nothing.

Also, I love that the training arena sort of looks like the FCW arena.

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

I guess for people like Rey who changes his colour every day.

[The Jayman]

alright Dark Slicer, post your review

[Xero]

Online lag is still there ffs.

[Triple Naitch]

Is there a Superstars arena this year?

[Fignuts]

So I caved in and bought this.

[LoDownM]

I went to Hollywood Video to rent this like 15 minutes after the place opened, and it was rented out, along with Borderlands AND the bluray version of Revenge of the Fallen, wtf, 15 fucking minutes.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Enjoying for the most part but unfortunately, Championship Scramble mode is a bust. The AI is set for everybody to break up ANY pin attempt, even though the current "champion" is really the only person who would have a vested interest in stopping the pin.

So unless you win the belt early or have someone who can utilize submissions, there will be no title changes as the likelihood of having all 3 other guys knocked out is remote. I had a draw the only time I tried playing it.

Shame, the mode had potential.</font>

[Xero]

Yeah, Scramble is a shame. It makes no sense for the others to break up a pinfall. It's like the MITB match, impossible to win the fucking thing.

[Xero]

Both reversals being on one button is throwing me off.

Also, the wonky rope physics are fucked. Too loose looking. But I'm happy with the apron system.

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

From what I've done in the game thus far, which is edit 3 attires/create my guy/2 exibition matchs, I like it better then last year. I haven't played online yet but I figured the PS3 version would still lag a bit like last year. I actually like that if you hit the reverse button you have five or ten seconds before you can use it again.

I'm currently doing Randy Ortons RTWM.

[Nark Order]

All of my gripes are basically nitpicks. This is a fucking sweet wrestling game.

[Xero]

Agreed. :y:

[Fignuts]

There's bruising in the game, I suppose to show what body parts are injured (Cena's back is all red now). Holy shit. This is awesome.

Yeah, first match I marked out when I saw christians chest get red from chops.

Played a few matches , and a couple weeks of rtwm, and I'm surprised how much I'm enjoying it.

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

It definatly beats the last 2 years :).

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I've actually gotten so used to auto targeting that I think I play better with that than manual.</font>

[Fignuts]

The restrictions on caw downloads bother me, but since I am used to plugging in formulas for Firepro and KOC, it's no more than a small annoyance to have to do it here instead of what we all thought it would be at first.

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

The CAW restrictions doesn't bother me, yet.

[Fignuts]

I don't feel like looking through the thread but I assume that if you download a character, it doesn't come with the entrance theme if the music is custom.

Also, since you can't upload superstars that you download, I fail to see the point in not allowing you to edit downloads. I'm hoping there is enough of an outcry that a patch comes out, because it renders the online sharing community useless for those who like their caws to be as accurate as possible.

[D Mac]

What system did u get it for Figs.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Bought it this morning before work from GameStop. I didn't pre-order, but I got the Austin code as well.

Gonna play right now. BRB.

[Fignuts]

I got it for 360, since I figured most people from tpww would do the same.

[D Mac]

Bought it this morning before work from GameStop. I didn't pre-order, but I got the Austin code as well.

Gonna play right now. BRB.

PS3? I might get it for that. What's your PSN?

I think I tried to add you once and you didn't respond.

[Fignuts]

Dunno how much time I'll be spending on this atm, as I also just got Uncharted 2, and 10 minutes into it I'm already 5 year old school girl giddy.

[Anybody Thrilla]

PS3? I might get it for that. What's your PSN?

I think I tried to add you once and you didn't respond.

Yeah, I'm MisterFooDang. I was in Phildelphia for a few months and haven't looked at any online gaming stuff in a while. Just added you and a couple others. :y:

[Anybody Thrilla]

I also bought FIFA Soccer 2010 today, just so you guys know.

[D Mac]

You and WWKD are playing this right now. I'm waiting to get paid then I will try to snag it.

[Fignuts]

Diesel Mac did you hear? Thrilla bought Fifa! Better go out and buy it so we can all play together.

[D Mac]

You do know how I feel about soccer don't you. :p

[Fignuts]

YOU LOVE IT!

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

I have it for both PS3 and 360. my PS3 ID should be in the gamertag page, the 360 is brothers but I'll get the gamertag later for anyone that wants a real match.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Haven't tried downloading any CAWs yet. Think it might be awhile before any top notch ones go up.</font>

[D Mac]

Added you DSD

[D Mac]

Right, finally got paid so I'm off to rent it for now.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Is there a Superstars arena this year?

No, unless it's unlockable.

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

Superstars arena isn't in at all this year, but it's theme is.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Been stuck on week 2 of Edge's RTWM for fucking ages now trying to unlock Jesse. Fuck fatal 4-ways</font>

[Vietnamese Crippler]

Been stuck on week 2 of Edge's RTWM for fucking ages now trying to unlock Jesse. Fuck fatal 4-ways

Same here :mad:

I get one finisher in and it takes forever to build up to another one. Then trying to get another finisher in, the other two finish the match.

[Fignuts]

just keep tossing the other two outside. They'll actually stay out there for a while fighting eachother.

Also, the diffuclty settings for exibition and rtwm are in two separate menus, fyi.

[D Mac]

UGH, Installing game data...

[Fignuts]

lol why would you buy it for ps3? You know that Create-a-story gets 500 slots on 360 as opposed to ps3's 50, right?

[Evil Vito]

just keep tossing the other two outside. They'll actually stay out there for a while fighting eachother.

Also, the diffuclty settings for exibition and rtwm are in two separate menus, fyi.

<font color=goldenrod>Haven't been able to pull that off. It's times like this that I wish stored finishers could come back.

I forgot...tappable submissions can be broken up right? If not I'll have to assign Edge one otherwise I'm gonna pull my hair out.

At least it's a challenge.</font> :o

[Fignuts]

I suggest you all check out R-Truth's entrance.

[Fignuts]

<font color=goldenrod>Haven't been able to pull that off. It's times like this that I wish stored finishers could come back.

I forgot...tappable submissions can be broken up right? If not I'll have to assign Edge one otherwise I'm gonna pull my hair out.

Dunno. Got it on my first try without a problem. Was on easy tho.

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

I did see R-Truths entrance, they did well.

[Xero]

Okay, this was pretty awesome.

Just had an awesome Michaels/Jericho match, I was Michaels. Hit SCM, went for the pin and Jericho reversed the pin into a rollup for the win. That was fucking awesome.

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

DAMN, I wish I could've seen that.

[PorkSoda]

I don't have the money for this game till next week :'(

Tell me: Is the difficulty harder? If you put it on the hardest mode, will it feel like its on easy?

[D Mac]

lol why would you buy it for ps3? You know that Create-a-story gets 500 slots on 360 as opposed to ps3's 50, right?

I didn't know that. I just rented it anyways.

[D Mac]

Found a created Sting and it said, "user has not authorized this for download." Yeah, doubt if it was the user.

[D Mac]

It's 50 slots for CAW and only 10 for CAS. :n:

[Anybody Thrilla]

I doubt I'll need more than 50 CAWs or 10 CAS at any given time.

[Skippord]

is this worth my purchase?

[Anybody Thrilla]

I don't know if it's just the RtWM, but I think it's cool that the interference actully does something worthwhile. As Orton, Legacy ran down and distracted the ref. Then Cody jumped in and rocked Batista with a chair. I didn't really know what was going on, but I ended up tossing Batista out of the ring accidentally. He didn't get up, though. I won by count out. :cool:

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

Just finished Orton's story, and I have to say it was pretty good.

[Anybody Thrilla]

DON'T SPOIL IT!!!

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>This isn't exactly a spoiler I don't think...I don't know the details of how it comes about, but I just read that you have to win a Championship Scramble in the CAW RTWM.

God damn it. Praying you are one of the first two entrants.</font>

[Anybody Thrilla]

Instant replay? Nice.

I like the match highlights at the end as well.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I also like how Orton's ringtone in RtWM mode is "Voices".

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I have no idea if it was a glitch or what, but the first time I tried using Match Highlights, I had no way of exiting the mode. None of the buttons worked.</font> :o

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

That didn't happen to me yet, might just be your system or just a minor mishap.

[PorkSoda]

Someone tell me: How is the difficulty this year?

[taker707]

Walmart version comes with unlockable arenas

[D Mac]

Difficulty is about the same.

Yeah, just finished playing a pretty decent CAS invloving Edge and Christian vs Hardys.

[D Mac]

I doubt I'll need more than 50 CAWs or 10 CAS at any given time.

Yeah, once I finish a story I'll probably delete it and if it's awesome I'll keep it, can always download it again if I want to.

[Fignuts]

Hey where is a good place to get entrance themes?

Not torrents.

[Triple Naitch]

Does Limewire count?

[Anybody Thrilla]

There are already some pretty good CAWs online.

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

Which ones?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Search by highest rated. You'll see.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I just got a great idea for a story. Would any old USB keyboard work on PS3?

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

I think so, not 100% sure.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

It should, in theory, yeah.

Also, from what I've seen from playing, I'm actually really impressed with this game. Especially how many new moves they put in.

[Jannettyzilla]

Man, I've been creating my wrestler, threads, entrance, etc, and it's definitely great. The new strong grapple system is really cool too.

Glad I upgraded. Starting CAW Road now....

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I'll prolly get the ball rolling on my CAW tomorrow...gotta pick a theme first</font> :shifty:

[taker707]

whats a caw and whats a cas

[Jannettyzilla]

Anyone else started the CAW RTWM yet? My created moveset didn't come into it with me. Very confused.

Nevermind, guess I fucked up.

[D Mac]

Just wanna say, Royal Rumble is awesome. They finally did it right.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Yeah I absolutely love the Rumble. I could go from #1 until the end with ease in past years, not so this year especially with some of the bigger names entering with 3 stored Rumble finishers. I've not even lasted halfway yet when entering at #1.

It's genuinely terrifying seeing Taker and Kane's pyro hit when they enter and you are already at a high damage rate.</font>

[Anybody Thrilla]

Everything in the ring is just so much more fluid this year. Pretty nice.

[Kane Knight]

Walmart version comes with unlockable arenas

We know.

Side note, mine should be in in like two days, tops.

whats a caw and whats a cas

CAW=Create A Wrestler. CAS used to mean Create A Superstar, but now it will probably mean Create A Storyline.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>OH GOD FUCKING DAMMIT :|

Hit my finishers on all three guys, couldn't get two of them to stay outside the ring.....then Kennedy fucking gets himself DQ'ed by choking me out on the rope. It pops up and says EDGE WINS BY DQ! And I mark out...but the game treats it as a loss so I have to replay the match. :|

Never gonna finish this story, it's been several hours and I can't even get past week 2 on easy. Hopefully the cheats surface soon...I only care about unlocking characters anyway.</font> :o

[D Mac]

Who cares about Jessie anyway? :p

[Evil Vito]

Who cares about Jessie anyway? :p

<font color=goldenrod>I'm pretty much anal about making sure I unlock everybody...drives me crazy otherwise.

Anyways, in typical me fashion, I finally beat the match on the "last chance" I would give it due to strategically pinning when Jesse began a wristlock animation on Kennedy.</font> :o

[Xero]

So male vs female matches are disabled except for the mixed tag. Wow.

Overall, I'm loving the game. Just doing exhibition so far. Need to get my spare keyboard for create a storyline.

I don't know if it's my imagination but the AI seems to work the matches better this year. Matches come out slightly more realistic when facing them.

Of course, I enjoy 'working' matches, so that does come into play.

[Jannettyzilla]

OK, Royal Rumble on easy is really, really, really easy. :rofl:

[D Mac]

I filled my shit with CAstoryline. Played one where you are Austin. So he is on disc regardless.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Had Triple H cutting a promo mocking jobbers, so he was promptly mugged by Santino, Primo, and Festus. Looked hilarious.</font>

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Downloaded a decent Zack Ryder CAW just to test it out. That was practically all they had when I looked in terms of active WWE guys that were left out. So I deleted him for the time being...I'd rather d/l all the new guys in one shot, plus it'll give the noted CAW makers a chance to put their guys up.</font>

[D Mac]

And a patch for editing Create an Entrance.

[Kane Knight]

I filled my CAstoryline with shit

[Xero]

A Sid storyline, eh?

[D Mac]

:mad: !

[Xero]

I just figured it out. The AI has improved because they can't just spam reversals now.

[D Mac]

Holy shit. Just downloaded a CAStory featuring all created wrestlers and the load times were fucking ridiculous.

[Fignuts]

I find you can "work" some pretty realistic matches this time around.

[Jannettyzilla]

The CAW storyline is pretty terrible. For at least five weeks you don't even get to look like your character.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Apparently the CAW storyline isn't even a Scramble match...but a 5 man, 1 fall match :o Fuck.</font>

Just realised I have Friday off and a gift card for GAME that still has about £20 on it. Looks like I know what I'll be doing Friday!

[Anybody Thrilla]

Who wants to trade storylines? I have a pretty good one in mind. I just have to get a keyboard.

[Anybody Thrilla]

OK, Royal Rumble on easy is really, really, really easy. :rofl:

True. In the only one I've done, I was Swagger and drew number 5. I think I had like fifteen eliminations and won pretty easily.

Are there preset entrances for all of those?

Also kinda surprised at samoa joe and styles being in there. Sure it's not someone else?

[LuigiD]

Kinda sad to see the nature boy is gone :'(

[Fignuts]

Who wants to trade storylines? I have a pretty good one in mind. I just have to get a keyboard.

Ithink most people here are getting it for 360.

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

It's definatly them, AJ has Landing Pin(Styles Clash)/Frog Splash as finishers with Corkscrew Moonsault(Spinal Tap) as signature whereas Joe has Pump Up Buster(Muscle Buster) and STF as finisher. I'll do pre-set entrances after I finish my guys moves.

[Fignuts]

Kinda sad to see the nature boy is gone :'(

Well he's on the preset movelist, so he's easy enough to make.

[CSL]

Buying Pro Evo and leaving Smackdown 'til next week?

[Fignuts]

Pro Evo is horrible this year. Better off with smackdown.

[LuigiD]

Well he's on the preset movelist, so he's easy enough to make.

I know. But still..just kinda reminds me that he is gone. I guess I always under-appreciated having him on just about every Smackdown game.

Pro Evo is horrible this year. Better off with smackdown.

Yeah, only it's not. It came today. As I said in the FIFA vs. Evo thread, the final game plays different to the demo (as is the case just about every year) Comfortably the best Evo in years (gonna stop there before I continue with my reasons why in a Smackdown thread)

And you're dead to me XL

[Anybody Thrilla]

I "turned heel" and got FIFA already.

FIFA is the man. I haven't opened it yet, but I'm sure it'll be great when I do.

[FourFifty]

Currently making notes on for a storyline I'll start on tonight. Starts off with Jim Ross and Matt Striker calling Raw on how Cena overcame the odds once again. And then... "Okay, so we're off the air? Good. Ya know, I'm getting pretty bahgawd sick of this sports entertainment crap. What ever happened to wrestling?"
I need to unlock Jesse and The Rock for this to work out how I want it to.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I'm gonna do a story where Vince McMahon threatens to close ECW until Christian steps up and sets out to make it the number one show, recruiting other guys and whatnot.

[The Jayman]

I thought about doing a story where WWE has its own Main Event Mafia consisting of HHH, HBK, Cena, Orton, Batista, etc and having them feud with a team of mid carders like Miz, Morrison, Ziggler, Christian, Kofi, etc

[Anybody Thrilla]

These all sound like fun ideas.

[Lord-Of-Darkness]

I will be doing a modern Ministry of Darkness story. Starting with the Undertaker taking superstars into the Ministry by force, like in 99, and then start causing chaos with Vince and the face main eventers.

Now that the gme is out in the States, and most of you have it, can someone answer my question from earlier? Can you use Superstar Thread attires in CAS? I'd quite like to have some black-themed Ministry attires for this story if possible.

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

Here's me and my brothers 360 tag, SoulGrinder 40k

[LuigiD]

I am getting ready to make a story that involves the WWE not having any new talent. John Cena is injured after a match at Wrestlemania with Taker. WWE brings in a bunch of old guys and hires some indy talent as well.

[Funky Fly]

God damn. So tempted to cave and buy this now instead of waiting until some used copies are out. Fucking THQ.

[PorkSoda]

What is FiFA?
