With the inclusion of ECW, maybe a name change? Something like WWE/ECW 08 or along those lines.

Yeah, I think it should be WWE vs ECW or something like that - to flesh out the ECW roster they could have Legends from the original ECW, even if they are currently working for another company, WWE should still have the rights to most of the ECW names and appearances from that era.

Having the rights in many cases doesn't mean they can make a wrestler. See, it still refers to a given person (Chris Jericho refers to the character and likeness of Chris Irving, for example). It means that they cannot take their name and use it elsewhere, but there is a tricky legal issue if they start using the likenesses of other people in this fashion.

Hmmm...in that case, then I guess WWE Raw vs SmackDown vs ECW will have to do!

I bet if they have downloadable wrestler updates on 360 they'll probably make you buy them with fucking Microsoft Points.

If they released new wrestlers and included new moves I wouldn't see anything wrong with that, as long as they aren't more than like $1...

That's only about $1.25, so really it's not bad. But like I said, it would have to have new animated moves, otherwise CAW is the way to go.

Thing that worries me is that they will package sevceral wrestlers together and charge more. So you want to get (arbitrary choice) Sabu? Gotta get 4 craptastic jobbers. I could see myself paying a buck fifty or so for a new wrestler. Maybe two, but I'd have to really want the guy. |

Not only should there be replays of the biggest moves in the game (like Madden), but you should have the option to save the replays and then create your own Titantron video using the highlights. I want to be able to create my own entrance, create my own moves, create my own highlight reel…make it so I'm so invested in my character I don't want to play any other game, do anything else until I build him up to full strength.
I then want to play matches like Hair vs. Hair online with my created character. Can you imagine the pressure to win if your created character has the potential to get his head shaved, then use the clock of the system so it doesn't grow back for a week. I just want more incentive, more creative ways to use my created wrestlers. Maybe even a Loser Leaves Online match where if you lose, you can never bring that character online again (or at least for a month). |

For the Titantron on a CAW entrance, I think another option is to give us preset moves to put up there and a Titantron entrance editor. That way you can toss up graphics, and evertything. Hilights works, too. |

1. Ability to use music from hard drive for your entrance theme, no idea why those lazy fucks never used it in 07, then again it'll be marketed in 08 as some big new feature.
2. Build the fucking legends up, wtf is the point of having certain legends appearing one year then theyre gone the next? Just keep adding to them year after year don't keep removing certain legends to make space for another. 3. Creatable titantron like in the ign article. The amazing choice of the wwe logo flashing on an off got pretty boring. 4. Better pyro, use the 360 and ps3 to their ability and not have ps2 era pyro in game. case in point: the state of masters pyro in 07, looked a ton better in dor2 for the cube ffs. 5. More counter moves: if im leg dropping a guy off the top rope i dont wanna see some bs counter where i somehow get kneed in the stomach. 6. Better weight system. Khali was 420 and he was an ultra heavyweight whereas bigshow was 493 and only a super heavyweight? umm 7. More moves reanimated from scratch, the old moves from old gens of games somehow look out of place to some extent in this game. 8. If hogans in the game, how about an attempt at him riping the shirt off? Seriously how hard can this possibly be? mania 19 had it, it looked shit but they at least had a go at it.

More or less what KK started with, but with the option of having a few costumes for created wrestlers that you can choose from. To mix the look up for matches, or if you want the CAW to have somewhat of a different look/persona without spending hours between two matches making a new one.

I'm totally super serial! He can come out with a beret and encourage kids to eat their French bread and croissants and say their prayers to end evil American imperialism. He can work in a faux accent exclaiming he should have won the gold medal as a Frenchman. C'est magnifique!

No more Divas period. But since they'll be in no matter how useless they are gameplay wise, how about a Diva editor where... the female fanbase
... could dress them up with limited options (think Tekken 5) and play doll all day. I assume chicks would dig that much. How about a Managerial(SP) Mode that's somewhere between GM Mode and Season Mode where you pretty much Manage your chosen superstar.But yeah, boot the Divas altogether. |

I just create the females I have from my EWR. The cruiserweight and tag divisions also need a complete overhaul but that can be blamed on the WWE.

Although I never did get to play SVR07, here are some of the things I want to see in 08:
- Fully downloadable content like more wrestlers, OFFICIAL theme songs for the WWE PPVs (like Seether and Saliva and those) to make a truer feel to the experience. -For the love of God, BRING THE TRADES AND THE SIDE SWITCHING BACK FROM HCTP!! I LOVED that you could switch people from RAW to SD and vice versa, and now with the ECW people added, it would kick some ass to place people where we think they should go, and create storylines, and then change them from face to heel and back, as well. This could be a good chance to impliment a face/heel turn mechanic in which certain things you do in season mode can affect how people react to you, and you can tell them off, or you can do something really heroic after some time in thinking of you should help someone out or not. There should be NO excuse to not reintroduce this this year because of the added capacity they will have of the media they got to use now, and plus, when going in Exhibition mode, the commentators make reference to the people in the ring anyway, and how hard could it possibly be to add a few things into season mode, anyway. Maybe even make defactions or the "contract expiration" on another show be a factor (every year, THQ goes the exact opposite direction and restricts this more and more and more, for some reason). -A PC Version. Seriously, they've made they game for every other platform. Why not make the game for Windows/DOS/Mac or something. - The "unknown" gender in CAW needs to return. Would be fun to make an alien that isn't of any gender. And plus, in my CWE, I had intergender matches in which women were on even playing field with men and held the major titles. It would be fun to emulate this on the game again (I know, selfish reason to suggest this, but again, THQ is just restricting everything more and more). Or at least have a workaround for this. - Put me into the list of people wanting custom soundtracks. - Instead of GM mode, franchise mode would be more suited. I think I suggested this some years ago, but being in the drivers seat in the WWE and trying to make your product sellable and booking matches and that, while trying to control your backstage behaviors and people that help you run the company would be a major plus. Hell, they do this in every other sports game. -Create A Belt (or any other creating mode) needs to be less restrictive and more accessable. Yeah, I could create a belt....only after WINNING A GAZILLION MATCHES TO GET THE MONEY I NEED TO CREATE SAID BELT!! C'mon, THQ, by the time they get that money, you'll be making SVR 2012 or something like that. Just my 2 cents. |

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. |

Yup, its such an obvious feature as well, its not like they give us an option of creating one in game either. Maybe by the time we're onto xbox 690 and smackdown vs raw 2032 they'll figure this might be a good feature. |
