Here's what I posted in the SVR08 Wishlist thread
---------------------------------------
1. You know how you get the weapons from underneath the ring? Well in SVR08 I think when Finlay does it, out comes Little Bastard and goes around distracting everyone for a minute.

2. Custom soundtrack.

3. More moves in CAW

4. Big ass career mode modeled after No Mercy for the N64

5. Use this roster

Raw:

John Cena
HBK
Triple H
Umaga
Johnny Nitro
Carlito
Ric Flair
Edge
Randy Orton
The Great Khali
Jeff Hardy
Super Crazy
Kenny Dykstra
Chris Masters
Charlie Hass
Shelton Benjamin
JTG
Shad Gaspard

Smackdown

Batista
Undertaker
King Booker
Finlay
Matt Hardy
Kane
Gregory Helms
Rey Mysterio
MVP
Ken Kennedy
Paul London
Brian Kendrick
Jimmy Wang Yang
Chavo Guerrero
Chris Benoit

ECW:

Bobby Lashley
RVD
Sandman
Sabu
Tommy Dreamer
CM Punk
Elijah Burke
Kevin Thorn
Matt Striker
Marcus Cor Von

Then add maybe 15-20 Legends

6. Alternate attires, NOT suits or stupid shit like that.
--------

Now to touch base on a couple of things. For the improved career mode, they need to work it so where you have a whole set of different paths you can take. For instance...

I start a career with C.M. Punk, the option at the start asks if you want to start as a heel or a face. Either alignment you chose brings you its own unique multi-branching storylines. I chose to start Punk off as a face.

You start your career wrestling on Heat and house shows wrestling guys like Charlie Haas, Gregory Helms, and Matt Striker. When you reach a certain amount of wins, you get called up to television. That's when the first storyline starts where you are in the middle of a bidding war to get your contract. Raw, ECW, and Smackdown are all trying to win your services. Raw is represented by Vince McMahon, ECW is represented by Shane McMahon, and Smackdown is represented by Teddy Long.

After wrestling on each show, you finally pick which contract you want to sign. And whatever show you chose you get your own unique set of babyface storylines for the show you chose. So there would be the following branching storylines...

Babyface Raw wrestler storyline
Heel Raw wrestler storyline
etc etc

On top of that, there can be 1 or 2 character specific storylines where a storyline is created just for that wrestler. And during any point of the season/career you can do a turn. So suppose I want to turn CM Punk heel, well there will be option where you can do a "turn". This will happen in a number of ways...

1. Turn on your tag partner
2. Use heel tactics to win a match.
3. Cheap shot your opponent after a post match handshake.

Then during that match there will be cutscene of the action you chose. This will lead to your branching storyline to switch to the heel storyline and your first feud will be the one involved in the turn naturally. And the catch is that you can only turn once a calendar year in the game. So this can be done if you want feud with a babyface/heel champion or if you just want to turn for the hell of it.

Also, if you compete and win in the Royal Rumble match, you can choose which brand's title you want to wrestle for at Wrestlemania. So say you're a Smackdown star and win the Rumble, you can pull a Benoit and show up on Raw and challenge for the WWE Title.

After Wrestlemania and you decide to continue on with your current wrestler then there will be a Draft Lottery angle where there could be a chance you get drafted to another show. This way it adds more of an unpredictable feeling to the season/career mode.

Now I know they will never do any of what I just said, but I think they have the ability to do that if they actually took time to do it.
