CAW used to be my favourite part of the WWF/WWE games but, recently, CAW has been a chore I've only managed to finished once or twice. I used to max out the CAW slots pretty quickly. CAW has a few problems I hope they fix but know they wont.
Creating the moveset is just so boring and lengthy. I know more moves = longer putting your own together but it's just so dull. Maybe if they did what No Mercy did and let us see our CAW doing the move rather than Green/Red guy. It would be a little more interesting actually seeing what does and doesn't look good instead of guessing "That green guy suits that powerbomb, maybe my CAW will suit it aswell.". It would help with selecting grapple tag moves, too. I have no idea which of the two green guys is supposed to represent my CAW in the double team. It wouldn't hurt to stop playing entrance themes and really bad bands at me while I'm spending an hour trying to make a moves list. Menu music shouldn't be loud and even noticable. It should be fitting but in the background, hence the name "background music". The older games had it right.
Building up your CAWs stats is dull aswell. Especially if you have multiple CAWs. Plus, you're going to keep working on your CAW until he is at 99. At 99, it takes a lot of the fun out of playing CAW vs CAW with a friend, especially if they are the one at 99. Give us a set number of points to play with at creation that makes our CAW at least "mid-card" level. No leveling up after matches. After finishing the CAW RtWM, reward that CAW an additional set of points to be "Main Event" level but no 99 or 97 OVR.
Remove useless things like selecting what kind of eyelashes our CAW has and give us more clothing options. Bring back the patterns like stripes, tartan etc. Like someone already said, using custom themes should be easier than having to create a seperate playlist for it.
Most importantly of all, let us use our CAW if we are playing against someone else on their save. If I'm playing against my brother and he is using his save, there is no reason why I can't access my CAWs when I sign in to the 360. My CAWs are on the same 360 and I've just signed in, so why are my creations still locked away? I think that's the biggest reason I don't bother with CAW. My brother plays SvR more than I do and anytime I play is usually as Player 2 against him. If I can't access my CAWs 90% of the time I'm playing the game, why bother making them at all?
