it was a few years ago anyways...roughly 2008 or so. It was my first SVR game, as they didn't have SVR2006 at Gamestop at the time.

and from what I'd heard about SVR2008, $10 for 2007 made alot more sense than ponying up the $40 or so for that one. I gotta buy it to round out my collection now, tho.

I was bored so I tried taking a stab at the potential roster factoring in the rumors of NXT inclusion, etc. and keeping in mind that the roster cutoff for current guys seems to be somewhere between February and March. I decided to not exceed a roster of 82, which was what the roster size was last year not including DLC.
Current Roster Alberto Del Rio Bad News Barrett Batista Big E Big Show Bo Dallas Bray Wyatt Brock Lesnar Brodus Clay Cesaro Christian Cody Rhodes Curtis Axel Damien Sandow Daniel Bryan Darren Young Dean Ambrose Dolph Ziggler Drew McIntyre Erick Rowan Fandango The Great Khali Goldust Heath Slater Jack Swagger Jey Uso Jimmy Uso Jinder Mahal John Cena Justin Gabriel Kane Kofi Kingston Luke Harper Mark Henry The Miz Randy Orton Rey Mysterio Roman Reigns R-Truth Rusev Ryback Santino Marella Seth Rollins Sheamus Sin Cara Titus O’Neil Triple H The Undertaker Zack Ryder The current roster would be really well represented here, especially since there has been very little turnover. I would think CM Punk is one of the first character models that they worked on, but I can't see WWE wanting him in the game right away. If anything, I could see them holding Punk up for DLC. A few head-scratching inclusions like Gabriel, Clay, Ryder, etc. but recent history shows that guys who have been in the last year's version of the game have a better chance at being thrown in than brand new characters, like Los Matadores. As an aside, I have Bo Dallas and Rusev listed here since they're technically now main roster talent, but really I think they'll be in for NXT mode as they were making regular appearances there during cutoff time, otherwise they'd have missed out and been DLC, like Adam Rose. NXT Adrian Neville Aiden English CJ Parker Corey Graves Konnor Mojo Rawley Sami Zayn Tyler Breeze Viktor It's not a huge NXT roster by any stretch, but I think they'd have gotten most of the "key" guys in. Could not give a fuck less about Mojo Rawley, but I think he'd be more likely to get in than Enzo, sadly. As mentioned above, if you figure Rusev and Bo Dallas are representing NXT in Career Mode and you sprinkle NXT with main roster guys like Cesaro as they do in real life, there should be plenty of guys to make the start of Career Mode fun. I won't even complain about CJ Parker being in because he'd be fun to use as a test dummy against CAWs. Legends Billy Gunn Edge Goldberg Hulk Hogan Jake Roberts JBL Mr. McMahon Road Dogg The Rock Scott Hall Shawn Michaels Stone Cold Steve Austin Ultimate Warrior 13 legends would make me go "ugh" but then again the way they're categorized in this list could be misleading. Vince is always in, it's just a matter of whether he's listed as a legend or main roster guy. Ditto for JBL who I think will play a role in NXT in Career Mode, though I'd rather have Regal for that. The Outlaws are also just kinda listed as legends by default as they're no longer acive, I think they're getting in the game because they were the tag champions at the time of cutoff and featured on TV weekly pretty much right up until WM. Roberts and Hall I just kinda threw in as placeholders since they went into the HOF with Warrior this year but really there are a billion legends that could be put in the game interchangeably on a year in, year out basis. Sting will probably be in but technically as a pre-order exclusive, so I won't count him in this list. Divas AJ Lee Brie Bella Cameron Charlotte Emma Naomi Natalya Nikki Bella Paige Sasha Banks Summer Rae I honestly would be fine with no divas in the game since I really never use them, but that won't happen. AJ was the long running divas champion at cutoff, so she gets in along with pretty much everybody from Total Divas, because of course WWE would want to put them in. Paige and Emma are main roster divas now, but I figure they're mainly in for NXT to go against Sasha and Charlotte. Summer Rae could play into that, too. I would think there will be a divas Career mode of some sort so they'd at least want NXT representation. You have RVD, Los Matadores, Adam Rose, Xavier Woods, etc. all kept aside for a possible DLC pack along with a standard legends DLC pack and possibly even another NXT pack if more people debut sooner rather than later. |

Random injuries should be in again, only make it more frequent and random. Maybe this time throw in bumps and bruises that carry on for awhile (maybe a closed eye, or a black eye), something like that.

So far so good. Hope they can get Regal, Saxton, Tom Phillips and Renee for NXT mode. Love them all. Nothing on mechanics except match flow jargon. 2k has major problems with game flow in NBA series. They have insane comeback modes.

Cant believe they never had Cole and King together talking. I guess they can't fucking stand each other. What about JBL Maggal?!

I would expect the graphics to be improved, given the change of dev and next gen too. Just want the mechanics sorted out so that it 'feels' more real.

I quickly scrolled past this to post my previous post, and I initially thought the "Cole and King" part of that post said "Cool King".

I wonder if the commentary will no longer sound so robotic now they are doing it that way.

Also, reading that and other stories about how Cole and King are actually working together, it makes me think:
Are we not getting JBL on commentary then? |

Meh, adding a 3rd commentator just takes up a ton of extra space.
I remember one game (SVR 08, I think) where they had 3 unique announce teams for Raw, SD, and ECW - and as a result the roster itself was probably one of the worst in the history of the series because so much room was invested for commentary. And the commentary still sucked based on everything I'd read. Then again, that's the one game in the series I never got around to playing. |

Out of all the SvR games, 08 was the one I most regret buying(despite it having Marcus Cor Von).

I remember the roster reveal for that game they were hyping 75 characters being in. And there were...including NPCs. They included announcers, ring announcers, refs, storyline NPCs, alt attires, etc. in their count. And they defended themselves by being all like "we said 75 characters, not 75 playable" even though they had to know it was blatantly misleading.
The roster was shit enough that I wanted to skip out but held out hope that story mode would save it. Then they announced you couldn't use ECW guys and the actual list of guys you could use was so small and I skipped. Never played anything of that game other than the demo. Admittedly wish I had given it a rent at one point solely to cane the shit out of people with The Sandman. |

I will say I kinda loved SVR 06 and SVR 07's story modes. Yeah the voiceover limited your options for who you could play as, but they still had a pretty solid list available plus you felt compelled to at least play several times through since Raw and SD had their own set of storylines plus there were different ones for face and heel.
I did play the everloving shit out of HCTP's story, though. Probably went through it over a dozen times. Same exact storylines every year no matter what show you were on, but I'd always mix up the rosters and face/heel alignments and it somehow was enough to keep it feeling a bit fresh. |

Yeah, SvR '06 had a story mode that was way better than 07 or 08. Fucking loved the Legends Tour story.
Still remember having a CodeBreaker disc with codes for '06 that made a bunch of NPCs playable, good times. Was always funny though to see certain NPCs come up in the selection menu and see it say like, "NO IMAGE" or something. |

I used the CodeBreaker to unlock Jake "The Snake" Roberts as I didn't have a PSP at the time, and now you made me want to play it's story mode again, so thanks.

Yeah, I'd forgotten about the fact that they had a code to unlock him without needing to hook up a PSP since I didn't have one either and he was the only unlockable I hadn't gotten.

It's been a dream of mine that every superstar in the roster would mo-cap their own entrance, signatures/finishers, taunts, etc. I understand if that's a logistical nightmare. But if they get an active guy with experience working with a lot of different people, in a physical class that makes him able to recreate a lot of different moves, that works too.
