and if they do please god please let them bring back the time limit title match I loved that so much is Smackdown! 2 |

The FYF match in svr 2006 was retarded.
as was the bra and panties match in svr I have made a couple of diva's for fun, and to use as managers, although I rarely fight with them. And im hoping against hope that they include Daniels in the game, I really don't want to make him again, last time I was nearly done, and BAM the power goes out |

Since I'm a roster nerd, here's a current crack at the roster (going back to April/May...the supposed cutoff date for active workers) RAW: Big Show, Carlito, Chris Masters, Edge, Eugene, John Cena, Johnny, Johnny Nitro, Kane, Kenny, Lita, Melina, Mickie James, Mikey, Mitch, Nicky, Randy Orton, Ric Flair, Rob Van Dam, Shawn Michaels, Shelton Benjamin, Triple H, Trish Stratus, Torrie Wilson, Umaga SmackDown: Ashley, Batista, Boogeyman, Booker T., Brian Kendrick, Chris Benoit, Daivairi, Finlay, Great Khali, Gregory Helms, JBL, Jillian, Joey Mercury, Ken Kennedy, Kurt Angle, Lashley, Matt Hardy, Mark Henry, Paul Burchill, Paul London, Psicosis, Rey Mysterio, Super Crazy, Undertaker, William Regal Others: Bret Hart, Eddie Guerrero, Hulk Hogan, Mick Foley, The Rock, Sabu, The Sandman, Stone Cold, Terry Funk, Tommy Dreamer --- This would be a solid roster, IMO. The only thing I don't like is that the Raw side seems kind of...boring. Mainly because you just know that THQ is gonna use the Spirit Squad as an excuse to slack off and they'll all be identical. I think MNM will be this year's Basham Brothers (they'll all have the MNM gimmick but be on different shows). Hopefully the entrance is in at least. The others is very much just wishful thinking on my part. It is possible though...you have to believe that even then, WWE knew they were bringing all those ECW guys in and that there'd be a huge storyline. So essentially you get 5 WWE Legends and 5 ECW Legends. And as a bonus, Mick could have his Cactus Jack attire as an alternate. |

I'm doubting the ECW guys. Especially Sabu. The majority of their creative time, Sabu was working in TNA. So unless they step up production I don't think we'll see him.
It is a decent roster though. |

Eh, only vid worth watching there is Rey/Shelton cause its the only one with new things.
Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't there only 5 confirmed guys to this point? Rey, Angle, Shelton, HHH, Cena. Obviously there's some others that are locks, but still. Surprised there hasn't been more pics or footage or something. |

Looks decent enough. I want to see what it's gonna look like on PS2 though. Although I want to get it for PS3, the stock shortages will probably put me off for a while.

Best Buy is still selling it for $49.99
...which leads me to REALLY want to sell my copy off now (I plan on selling all PS2 stuff to help make money for 360) and I'd be lucky to get a dollar for most of my other games. |

It seems this will be a game for CAWs. The real wrestlers aren't represented well this year (Razor's Edge for everyone just to sell the "Play Maker" control? No thanks.)

The Play Maker control looks awesome, if you ask me. Most moves will now allow you to control what you wanna do. Gonna be cool.
Anyways, apparently Cory Ledesma has said in some sort of video interview that the season mode is meant to be like the one in HCTP, much more player choice. WOOOOOOOO

You know I had no beef with last year's season mode? I liked it; it's the only season mode that made me like my CAW (Tommy Jay) even more after I played it.
HCTP is still the shit, though. Mostly because of how it let you set up the rosters for RAW and Smackdown! and choose who's a face or heel. That system combined with General Manager Mode could be an awesome combo. |

Yeah, and it generally takes more than a couple hours to finish the HCTP season.
I'm guessing this also means VOs are gone, which is good. Sure, it adds realism and looks nice, but they limit the season mode beyond belief, unless they have EVERYONE record EVERY voiceover. |

I can do without VO. 'Professional' reviewers bitch about VO not being in the GCN games than bitch about the acting/enthusiasm of the wrestlers when it is in the PS2 games (although SvR06 was much better). If no VO means more options in Season; go for it.
Developers need to please us, not the review crew. |

I'm not sure Voiceovers added more realism. I wasn't any more immersed with it than without.

I think what Big Vito was going at was the feel of WWE programing with the VO in. In the last SvR it did at times feel like a televised event. (I'll go as far at to say it was more entertaining at times.) Still, kill the VO.
2K needs to teach them a thing or three about commentary tracks, though. ESPN Football 2K5 is unmatched in that regard. |

They will ultimately need commentary and voice-overs to make the game a complete success but it seems this generation is looking to perfect graphics over audio. I think with the release on the PS3 and 360, they will probably put more into the audio section and I wouldn't be surprised to still see voice-overs with more choices because of the release on next-gen. So it might be more like HCTP with choices, but I'm sure they will still put the voice-overs. If they do that I'm sure they will have to put it in there for the PS2 version as well so who knows.

You have to weigh in the time restraints and the ever-changing nature of WWE for that to be logical. If when a game based on a cartoon is being developed, proper VO from the show's actors is common sense; all they do is sit down and yell in a mic.
Wrestling games are different, where VO is more or less a bonus that doesn't add much to the bottom line. When I see forums and chatrooms speaking about SvR06 (now released for nearly a year), I don't read anything about the VO. All I see is extensive discussions on the CAW and General Manager modes, and whatever cool event during gameplay they just have to tell their friends about. Madden 06 for 360 introduced in-game VO for select players... What you think of that is exactly my point on the matter. |

I don't see voice-over as much of a bonus as a necessity in a wrestling game. I think they shouldn't worry about it with this game and wait until they go exclusively to next-gen where they have a wider capacity to work with, but it should ultimately be put in. A game with quality voice-over will always outsell the same game without the voice-overs.
It's no big deal really, but if you are trying to make a game that feels complete, you need it. Other sports games aren't a big deal because they don't really have the players talk, but this is a sport that relies heavily on voice work. I would much rather them give me the options for season, but if they could do it with the voice-overs, I would take that instead. |

VO or no VO I will still be getting this game.
SVR06 lacked something because of the VO. Honestly THQ can put in VO without taking up alot of space for the enxt gen consoles but this game is released on both PS3 and PS2 thus the addition of VO's will take up space in the PS2 version and I am sure they do not want to make two completely different versions of the game. |

Just read that a few ECW Extremists have been confirmed to be a part of this game
No names given though.I'm assuming/hoping they aren't just talking about the "yeah, no shit" guys like Angle, RVD, and Big Show...especially since Angle's already been announced. Though it could just be a misleading statement.

When I play as Ric Flair; I actually climb the turnbuckle and wait for my opponant to toss me off. When my friend wails on me with a bunch of moves consecutively, I do his 'Beak First' falling taunt. And I don't feel good about a match until Flair's bleeding.
If any of you don't share my style of playing a wrestling game, and play with a win-at-all-cost mantra (which kills the fun); don't bother looking me up online. Extremely early warning. Ofcourse I wanna secure the W, but only at the end of good fun match. That is all. |

I guess you can also officially pencil in Mark Henry and Rob Van Dam to the roster.
Never bothered reading those interviews on IGN, but since I'm incredibly bored I did...and in each they asked RVD/Henry what they wanted to see out of their characters in the games. God I can't wait for the next update...even if it will mean going back to the days of refreshing IGN every 5 minutes
