I rarely make CAWs because I don't have the patience to so I usually just use the guys on the roster. It'd just be nice to see it have guys like La Res instead of A-Train, Jindrak, Holly and Cade though.
Oh well, still can't wait. |

Like today I was playing Fifa 2002 for Gamecube and I was in a World Cup mode. I was playin Brazil and was down 3-1 with like 3 min left and if I didn't win I was out. So I switched sides and became BRAZIL and I kept passing the ball to the goalkeeper and leting him score an own goal. Did that 3 times and then switched back and won 4-3. Pretty sick.

I had a need for a perfect record in MVP 2004 with the Mets, and thus I ended up having a 173 game perfect year.

I could of done without Torri, Sable and Staci though. They suck. I like to use Trish and Victoria if I need a Valet or something.

I say they do away with: Cade, Palumbo, Sable, A-Train, Jindrak, Holly and Scotty
In exchange, bring in: La Resistance, London, Kidman, Spike, Eugene, and Regal AHHH who the fuck am I kidding, I just want Eugene in. ![]() |

The good thing about perfect records are that sports games nowadays pretty much require you to have massive winning streaks to unlock all the cool stuff, like old school jerseys and whatnot.
But really, I can't stand losing either. Ruins my day. You and I share the same sickness, LC. ![]() |

I don't blame the makers for not putting in Eugene, I mean, if I was in their shoes, I'll have a hard time deciding what his finishing moves would be.
I'm in no way supporting that there aren't including him (and I'm bitter that they didn't put in Regal, London and Kidman,and they put in Sable, A-Train and Holly) but I can see the frustation with his moveset. Still, I'll be getting this game. |

here's the info on IGN
August 17, 2004 - THQ's WWE SmackDown! vs. RAW has definitely been one of the most popular games of the summer here on IGNPS2, with fans from all over the world clamoring to find out the latest information on it. And whether it's the fresh game modes, original feature sets, or brand new wrestlers that they're curious about, IGN readers just can't seem to get enough of Yuke's latest grappling hopeful. With that in mind, we're happy to announce that today we've confirmed the final lineup of wrestlers for SmackDown! vs. RAW with the most prominent superstar being that of the Excellence of Execution himself, Bret "The Hitman" Hart has made the cut. This announcement marks the first time in SmackDown's history that Bret Hart will make an appearance in the franchise. Previously confirmed to materialize in the GameCube's own wrestling title, WWE Day of Reckoning, Bret Hart is considered by hardcore wrestling fans to be the greatest score possible for the upcoming legends. And when you take into consideration that Andre the Giant, The Undertaker, and Kane are already those counted prestigious enough to be a part of that roster, it tells you just how important Bret Hart's appearance really is. Contrary to reports made by European magazines earlier this month, however, Bret Hart's late brother-in-law Davey Boy Smith did not make it into the game. Though his selection was considered at one time, negotiations fell through and "The British Bulldog" was left off the final lineup. Luckily, several other wrestlers did manage to make the roster. But in a revelation that is sure to surprise players who have been following the game's progress, no new names will be added other than what we've already confirmed. Even more interesting is the fact that Rikishi has been removed because of his loss of employment with the WWE, while Sable (who was also recently let go) will remain. Now some of you may be wondering why the lineup is smaller than the roster found in last year's Here Comes the Pain, but THQ has explained to us that the lineup cut came with good reason. That reason, of course, is the fact that this year's production values have been amped up. And with 40% more polygons, increased texture detail, bigger models, and full voice-over for each superstar, there just wasn't enough time or room to fit more superstars in. Of course, this doesn't rule out the possibility of more wrestlers in next year's lineup using the same feature set, but for this year's edition, the grapplers listed above will have to do you. Luckily, there are actually more legends than the ones we've highlighted above; but as a special favor to the team, we're going to officially reveal the remaining six over the course of the next two days to keep readers curious as the week comes to a close. So be sure and check back with us over the next couple days to get the skinny on that. Before we go, however, don't forget to check the media page below to check out some nice hi-res screenshots of Legend Kane, Legend Undertaker, and the Hitman himself, Bret Hart. We'll see you again tomorrow with the next three official legends announcements. here's all the new pics ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

I'm hearing on the Game Faq boards that Yoko may be a Legend because someone from IGN said there is an Ultra Heavyweight in the game. But it's not Andre or Show because they have already been confirmed.

I'm with the people who said they'd rather see fewer legends and more active wrestlers.
I, for one, play as everyone, and the fact that nearly half of the WWE champions are out, while I get to play as a guy who'll likely never wrestle again or a gimmick that Kane will never return to doesn't appeal to me at all. This is the first SmackDown game since JBI that I haven't been drooling over. I'm excited to play it, but I may not even buy it right away unless the game play and story mode are excellent. With limited CAW slots, I don't want to be wasting them on freaking champions. If I want legends, I'll make them myself. If they include the classic music, I'll be a little bit appeased, but if they're going to include these guys and have them come to the ring silently (like in HCTP)? To hell with that. I'll just keep playing HCTP. In a perfect world, the roster would be (assuming 50 playable characters is about par): Akio Batista Billy Kidman Booker T Bubba Ray Dudley Charlie Haas Chavo Guerrero Chris Benoit Chris Jericho Christian Danny Basham Doug Basham D-Von Dudley Eddie Guerrero Edge Eugene Gail Kim Heidenreich Jamie Noble Jazz JBL John Cena Kane Kenzo Suzuki Kurt Angle Lita Mark Jindrak Matt Hardy Molly Holly Orlando Jordan Paul London Randy Orton Rene Dupree Rey Mysterio Rhyno Ric Flair Rico Rob Conway Rob Van Dam Rosey Shawn Michaels Shelton Benjamin Spike Dudley Sylvain Grenier Tajiri The Hurricane The Rock Triple H Undertaker William Regal Plus, you could have people like Stacy, Hiroko, Nidia, Dawn Marie, Paul Heyman, Torrie Wilson, whoever wins the Diva Search, the announcers, and the McMahons as non-playable managers. I'd much rather spend a CAW slot on someone like Billy Gunn or Hardcore Holly that I'm not all that bothered about having look and behave perfectly than on the Cruiserweight Champion. |

Ok. Never have I ever been disappointed with a Smackdown game, but I'm with Vito with this roster. It leaves me excited but disappointed too. La Resistance have been in the WWE for about 2 years now, and are tag team champions, but still have not made this game.
The choices they have made for the roster this year have been pretty crap ones. I haven't seen Cade since Coach's feud with Eugene, cant remember when I last saw Jindrak/A-Train/Scotty 2 Hotty. Like many have said, alot of the champions aren't in. What they going to do with those belts? Give them to random people? Or maybe the last champs? In HCTP, I dont think I have played with a Crusierweight apart from Rey Mysterio, so I'm not bothered by Spike's absence. But not having either of the tag team champions in, is abit crazy. I would have played with Kidman/London if they were in, and I certainly would have used La Resistance. Its nice that Bret is in, as well as Old School Undertaker, but I would have much rather had La Resistance than Old School Kane and Andre the Giant. Final roster = ![]() |

To each there own I guess. I'd rather have no voice for wrestlers and more wrestlers though. They said that was one of the reasons they couldn't have more guys. But with that said, there are soooo many more features then the last game. Someone posted a long list on Game Faq's tryinh to appease the people who were complaning about the roster. It was a pretty big list and makes you see all the new stuff we are getting. Plus Online mode might be in. I'll go find the thread and post it here in a sec.
As for me and the roster. As soon as I make my CAW, (JesPac) that's all I usually play with. I might go through each guy once just to see entrances and everything. After that my CAW, Orton, Cena, Bret, Andre, Benoit, Angle, Guerrero, Kane and HHH are the guys I will probably always use. |

BTW, here's that list the guy that LC was going on about:
> New Challenge mode > Heel/Face meter > Mini games like stare downs, chop battles and push fights > More moves than HCTP > More popular legends > More licensed theme music > Superstar voiceovers > We can see the commentators at ringside > More commentators to choose from (JR, Jerry Lawler, Michael Cole and Tazz) > Season mode storylines are improved > New and interesting ring angle > More crowd chants > Charisma is added to the stats > New weight categories including Diva > New Chop battles minigame > New Spank meter > Improved weight identification system > Improved CAW > We can now take a photo of our CAW and use it on the "superstar select screen" instead of every CAW having that blue or pink face! > The pre-match screen looks better and like the pre-match screen from TV > 40% more polygons > Backstage areas now have more interactive objects (e.g. slam your opponents head on the buffet table)! > The new Parking Lot Brawl (also ahs variations like triple-threat and tornado tag)! > Royal Rumble meter > Royal Rumble is more realistic and last longer > Weapons in Hell in A cell > Harder to fall off the cell (realism) > Create a Belt > Create a PPV > For the first time ever we can actually create past and existing belts and defend them against a friend > We have both Earl Hebner and Mike Chioda > Ability to break up submissions > New and improved submission meter > Counter submissions into submissions of your own > You can now put your feet on the ropes when you are pinning > Better Wrestler animations > Less Smackdown icons and they are earned slower, meaning longer matches (realism) > Managers are now worthwhile and even interact with the crowd > Of course the roster and entrances are more up to date than DoR's and HCTP's > CAW parts, moves and more will be available in the Shopzone, everyone likes unlockables, it keeps them playing the game! > Updated CAW means the ability to create more CAWS on one memory card. Imagine if we could now create 50 CAWS! > Better lighting and smoke effects, (Watch Kane's entrance video)! > Sounds more realistic when a wrestler hits the mat! > Moves are more balanced, for example power moves are slower and easier to reveres that quick moves! > The view you get when fighting on the entrance ramp is much better! > The referee does more now than pin and order the bell to be rung at the end of the match. Heels can now argue with him and when you are in submission he will check to see if you are still conscious and much much more! |

BTW: How many CAW's do you guys usually create? I only created 1 with HCTP. It takes so long to create people in the new games. I remember with No Mercy I created like 15 guys.

The longer matches and the ability to defend belts in exhibition matches are enough to keep me happy. The only other thing that still hasn't been implemented is the ability to change the looks of current superstars. One thing that made the n64 games have such a high replay value was the ability to keep the premade roster up to date. I guess the reason they can't do that with the Smackdown series has to do with the quality of renderings and such between the premade guys and the CAW guys.
I'm also in the list of people that would rather have more wrestlers than all the extra audio stuff. The licensed themes are a great addition, but as far as commentary is concerned, I'm just going to turn it off anyway. No matter how much stuff they record it will get repetitive after a while anyway. I may play with it on for a week or so, but not too much more. |
