nevermind, i restarted my 360 and did the exact card over and it worked. No clue, but that was fucked up.

Maybe Mark Henry injured them all.

It means you dont have enough guys to cover the matches against the other brand. Just hire some jobbers and put them in the least important ones.

Its me with yet another issue with what has to be the worst Smackdown Vs Raw game ever. Well as far as GM Mode goes.

Aight here is the deal. I'm doing GM Mode 2 players simply cause I don't want to battle with the computer but for fun I like to make the cards a bit "interesting" building up both shows on my own.

Now the problem starts when I finish an entire show for Raw and then I go to Smackdown. None of my matches that I do register at all. It's like I do a match on Smackdown, I win it, then when it gets back to the card itself it's showing up on the Raw card, I switch shows to SmackDown and the match looks like it never even took place.

Then the most recent happening, as in a minute ago. I had the card for both shows laid down. I decided to do SmackDown first and have CM Punk compete in his match and win of course. But his match on Smackdown didn't count. His match was number 3 on the card. And the matchup on Raw that was in the number 3 slot that I didn't even touch was done. And the person that was in the position that CM was in got the win and the other got the loss.

GM mode is completely gay on '07. I thought that these new updates and stuff would make it the most enjoyable that it could ever be but it's made it the worst. Last year's was better because you could actually have a feud that didn't require gay storylines to complete. And you could also put anyone in a feud on the other one. On this one only certain people can fit and even then it's gay cause once the storyline is done nothing happens.

GM mode is kinda good, but I have a big problem, You can either choose set roster, which is good because you have loads of wrestlers, but their contracts run out so damn fast. If you choose to pick your own roster you get about 3 main eventers and like 20 jobbers. ASS

My friends rented it and I have to honestly say that I'm severely disappointed with it. Yukes is still showing their laziness by using a lot of the same entrance animations, CAW materials and pieces, commentary bits, and total lack of alternative outfits. The grunts and groans are f*cking cartoonish, the grappling system is needlessly complex and annoying. Ladder matches and the like seem more like a chore than a good time. I'm sorry, I know a lot of people are digging this game and all but I have to give this one a BIG thumbs down.

Just got it for X-mas, gonna check it out.

Anything else you may have gotten CC would be at least 5 times better.

I rented it for 2 weeks (PS2), and I liked it. I hated the loading times and shit and CAW is a mediocre. The appeal of the new controls and moves lasted a little while before I got bored. I hope 08 is better. I'd give it a 6/10.

Haven't played it in like 2 weeks.

I really hate the new move controls.

The only thing I hate (360 controls) is the "back" button for secelcting opponents. The autoselect is retarded by default, and having to either reach across the control pad to hit it or take my thumb off the D-stick is really bad placement.

Anyway, if you don't like the control scheme, can't you simply opt to change it? I don't know if you've got the PS2 version, but the 360 version seems to have the option.

Oh, is there any way to import music in this game? I haven't seen any mention in the manual or interface, but I thought it'd be a no-brainer.

I still haven't played this, but I almost spent my Christmas gift cards on it, just because I have every SD game since the second one.

But I remember how quickly I got bored with '06, and it seems like the consensus here is that - while it may not actually be WORSE - they didn't do enough to make it better.

So instead, I bought the X-Men trilogy on DVD and the (relatively) new Audioslave album.

Some things are imrpoved, I must say.

Just not enough.

Probably the single best thing that's improved is the custom entrances. But that's about it.

Why did they take so much out of the CAW, anyway? And tone it down?

Those were cool, except for the glitches (like your wrestler won't wear a title belt and the ring announcer and opponents are walking through each other and you'll do the same.). Also, Advanced CAE mode damn near made my PS2 explode.

I still wish they'd put in some of the elements from the DoR series.

No there is no custom music. :mad:

I have to say the 360 version is pretty great. The new grapple system, after getting used to it, is pretty great compared to the button one.

The things I wish they had improved and should next game:

The Animations - I understand how hard it is to recapture everything, but I think for either the next or the one after the next they should recapture every move and animation (or at least things like taunts, strikes and common moves), considering the next gen consoles make them look pretty bad.

Import music - Come on!

As KK said, the in-match select is horrid.

Fix the fucking online controller lag - While I have adapted to it on the 360 (never could time it right with the PS2), there really is no excuse for the amount of time it takes for it to register. It makes those submissions with the ball and bar almost impossible apart from mashing until it hits one.

Really, though, I think, at least the 360 version, is the best of the entire SmackDown! series.

I really love the interactions too and they didn't make the crowd thing as shitty as SmackDown! 3. lol, remember that? You'd go into the actual crowd, no chairs there and it's just a box with fans around it.

How do you grab signs/weapons from the crowd??

When you're in that are in the area in the top right fans will randomly show items including signs, crutches, umbrellas, and belts. Take them like you take any other weapon (it's escaping me right now, but it's either X or A).

Pretty much all my complaints in a nutshell. Except one.

The new grappling system is nice if you only want to grapple, but I hate the way you need to take your hands away from the grapple "button" in order to attack, run, Irish whip.

Meanwhile, Why even have R1 as a shift? have quick grapples done by jabbing in one direction, and strong grapples by holding in that direction.

WHOOOOO!! Just put a shitload of my own music in the game. Good times.

I quite like the way they have done that. I think if it was just hold the direction it would take away from the fluidness of the moves :-\

how

Copied the ISO onto my computer, cut down some wavs, imported them in place of tracks in the game, saved the iso, and burned it to a new disc.

This is on PS2. If you're playing on PS2, and can play modded games, I can give you more indepth instructions if need be.

Got 360 so I guess I can't. :(

I fail to see how R1 adds to the fluidity.

I had a modded ps2 once but it burned out.

That sucks. I just installed a flip top on mine.

Very VERY Nice work WWKD. I never thought of doing that. I was thinking along the lines of a USB exploit.

It's just easier to do than flick and hold, IMO.

This is a well-known trick done since the PS days. :|

I'm failing to see how. Especially in terms of fluidity.

IT JUST IS, OKAY?!

A few interesting points if anyone wants to swap music and can for the PS2 version.

The real songs in the game have some of the longest entrance run time (22.7mb). The regular entrance music is limited by how long the entrance itself is. Basically if someone's entrance is only 40 seconds, there music only runs for 40 seconds, and can only be replaced by a song that file size or under, so if you use it for a longer entrance, it'll cut out like the music does for some CAE.

Also, there are seperate entrance tracks for each song, one for faces, one for heels. So, if you wanted to, you could double the entrance music by having face and heel music. (I gave Trips King of Kings for his Heel music, Angle his percussion entrance off Anthology, RVD Walk, etc.)

For those of us who arent wizbangs on the PC, can u go through step by step of how to get different music, thanks man
