Most of that is true, but if logic, and the stubbornness of the game on certain issues is any indicator, no matter which 2 I choose and sign for 1 Year, I will still have to go day-by-day...at least that would be the way it seems. Maybe you've played through that way in GM mode, and if so, and your advice works, I'm sorry I doubted you, but this OBV wasn't that great of a game to begin with.

The upside of all this crap is that they'll probably put out a really good iteration next year.

D Mac 11-21-2007 06:33 AM

It's a whole nother year tho. :(

I said this to myself ... last year.

I'm slowly coming to terms with the fact that the developers are lazy douchebags who will take massive steps backward for every small step forward. For each new feature, an old feature is retardedly downgraded, and the commentary is going to be the same fucking obnoxious a;jokdfj;ajf for the rest of my life.

Russenmafia 11-21-2007 03:53 PM

this game sucks ass big time. Going to trade it for something better.

Lara Emily 11-23-2007 07:15 AM

SO am I to guess that you can can't change if your guy gets booed or cheered outside of GM mode anymore?

Lord-Of-Darkness 11-23-2007 07:25 AM

Only with CAWs I think.

Zeeboe 11-23-2007 08:35 AM

I don't watch wrestling at all now. Haven't watched it regularly since 03'. However, I always played the Smackdown games, then later the Smackdown vs. Raw games, and when I saw the new one at Blockbuster, I had to rent it.

There's so many wrestlers now that I've never heard of. And all the older wrestlers I liked..Ric Flair, The Undertaker, and Kane were all on Smackdown. And I'm a Raw guy and wanted to wrestle on Raw...and I don't recall, but I think I used HBK as my main wrestler last year, and I wanted someone different, so I picked Triple H. I'm just beat and defended the title at Chris Masters at New Years Revolution PPV, and I first won the belt at Vengeance, and I've had it since.

It's a pretty fun game. I had trouble getting into it at first since I'm not really a wrestling fan anymore, but as time went by, I started getting into it. It's been fun beating down those young punks.

I wish there were more legends though, and that Hulk Hogan was included.

Rulk Fogan! Jesus, don’t you get it? If there was never any legends being bumped off year after year, we’d just always get repetitive, boring legends in the rosters each year. And besides, who really ever plays SvR or any SmackDown game as Hogan anyway?:?:

Because nobody in their right minds would play as some one who knows only 2 moves. The Leg Drop and the Hulk Up combo. He’s just not someone who had a lot of skill.

And yet he is one of the most loved wrestlers ever. As hard as it is to believe and as odd as it might sound, there's more to wrestling then just wrestling.

What Would Kevin Do? 11-23-2007 08:34 PM

Okay, so unless it's a struggle submission, it can't make someone submit... Fucking worthless. So essentially the ankle locks, tazzmission, texas cloverleaf, spinning toe hold, etc, are all worthless. Brilliant.

Exactly, it should have been all the old system, or all as the new system. Putting in submissions that dont do anything is retarded. I like the idea of SS but being that there are only 10 of them, its kind of a waste.

When you consider some of the wrestlers in the game hogans "moveset" probably looks massive. :lol:

Champion of Europa 11-24-2007 05:04 PM

A friend bought this for his PS3 and we've been playing it like crazy.

We mostly play as our tag team, 70's Sex. The team is comprised of World Heavyweight Champion Frankie "The Cunt Pummeler" Francis, Randy "Big Daddy" Body, and Rudy "Fistum" Smackbooty.

Skippord 11-24-2007 06:52 PM

lol, Fistum

Fignuts 11-24-2007 06:55 PM

lol this game is so bad.

Kalyx triaD 11-24-2007 07:09 PM

The online mode not having a lobby/party system is one of the three biggest disappointments I have with the game, along with the roster and the targeting mechanic.

Zeeboe 11-25-2007 12:17 PM

I've already played a storyline with Foley, and am now playing one with Piper, and I'm just curious if anyone knows if there are any other angles that involve any legends?

James Steele 11-26-2007 01:55 AM

I created Chuck Norris (with badass entrance) and Dog the Bounty Hunter (with stupid entrance). Together they form...
















TEAM BADASS

D Mac 11-26-2007 03:13 PM

Snitsky is the new World Heavyweight Champion. Won the Beat the Clock sprint.

LOL this thread is dying already.

Disturbed316 11-30-2007 05:23 PM

I won the gm of the year last night, so easy to do if you know what your doing.

KingofOldSchool 11-30-2007 08:33 PM

Is there any good sites to get CAWs from?

jcmoorehead 12-01-2007 05:33 AM

I use Caws.ws for mine, covers all systems and usually has some pretty nice ones.

Anyway as much as I liked the game and I did enjoy it I just haven't been able to bring myself to play it for about three weeks now. I don't know what it is but I just have no desire to go back on it. Maybe that'll change over the Christmas Holidays but with games like COD4 and Mass Effect to play I just can't bring myself to play this.

D Mac 12-06-2007 05:19 AM

Yeah created my own guy and tried 24/7 mode with him, but 24/7 is so god awful I have no interest in completing it. Probably going to sell this soon.

Gonna be honest, me too. I've never sold a Smackdown game before the new one comes out, or around that time anyway. But this one is just failing to keep my interest. I went back and won KOTR with Hart last night, which was ok. And started a 16 man Road to Wrestlemania Tourny, but got fed up.

I went on to play Spiderman 3, which I've been stuck on for a while(fucking Kraven) and staying stuck on that and getting frustrated was more fun than playing smackdown.

What Would Kevin Do? 12-06-2007 09:54 AM

Yeah, I totally gave up on this. I was going to buy it from gamefly for pS3 for 35 bucks, but it just wasn't worth it to me. The system needs an overhaul.

Disturbed316 12-06-2007 12:29 PM

Online is still so god damn awfull. Everyone uses cheap/repeating moves over and over again. Its always big boots or spears, totally gay. Done pretty much everything I can do in single player, not gonna touch online unless its against someone I know.

I will be getting gold for christmas, so I think I will make use of the game then, like you said, to play against people I know.

Which means I will be up for kicking your ass just like last year :cool:

Disturbed316 12-07-2007 01:46 PM

And I'll steal the victory during triple threat matches, like last year :cool:

Lord-Of-Darkness 12-07-2007 01:52 PM

:rant: I'll get you one day!! :mad:

Coincidently, theres always time for a HIAC match where the cell isn't actually used if I remember rightly....

D Mac 12-08-2007 01:03 AM

I went ahead and said fuck this and sold it today. Good riddance. Got Guitar Hero 2 since I never played it and is something I probably will enjoy. Unlike this piece of shit. :mad:

Funky Fly 12-08-2007 01:32 AM

You all knew it was gonna be gay. Why is everyone so pissed?

D Mac 12-08-2007 04:50 AM

I thought custom music would make up for it. But no. :(

If it had create a PPV mode I would play around with it a little more but it didn't.
