Oh yeah, BTW...
This game gets a 90%, maybe a 91%. The gripes I have with the game keep it from getting a 100%...and it's annoying because it was certainly possible with this title. Hope I don't have to shell out megabucks for a PS3 to play the next installment. Since there's so many positives with this game, let's start with the cons: from a "legal" standpoint, unlocking Jake The Snake with a PSP only? Thumbs down. (Hello, Codebreaker) I can live with the Divas not bleeding (now), and not being in First Blood matches as a result. But to take them (and their CAW counterparts) out of every match worth a damn? Thumbs down. This better not have been a WWE thing. (Again, hello Codebreaker...) Auto-save always being on? Crap. At least give the option to shut it off. It was great to see a lot of moves reanimated, and some new moves (however unexciting they are) in the mix. But some of the omissions seem a little excessive. Since they went to the trouble of using Rumble Roses parts in CAW, they should have jacked some of the moves from there (particularly Evil Rose's finisher, that looks a lot like the Canadian Destroyer). And bring back the REAL F.U. (Samoan Driver), dammit. I think that they should really implement a tug-of-war system for "out-of-weight-class-range" grapples. Since we've actually seen Rey Rey do grapples to those he (in this game) wouldn't be able to lift, they should do this No Mercy style, and give a Momentum Bonus for success. By no means should a Diva or Cruiserweight lift a Super Heavyweight, but they should be able to lift Light Heavyweights and Heavyweights with a little extra effort. Victoria, for example, probably could suplex HHH in a match. Ditto for London to Cena, or HBK to a Lesnar-type. The lack of truly "original" themes (that have been in SmackDown since the third installment) in CAW kind of sucks. Create an Entrance needs a few tweaks. The pyro timing is kind of off, if you try to replicate the entrances of Batista or Kane. Others have discussed the problems with gimmick matches, but I won't discuss them here. Otherwise, the rest of this game gets thumbs way, way up, especially with the way they "hid" Rock, Austin, and CAW EXP points. I shouldn't have to Codebreaker things like Divas in certain gimmick matches or Jake The Snake, though. Without that PB&J, this game would have been an easy 100%.... even more so since this is the only game that's gonna have Hassan in it, ever. |

the sweetest thing happend in season mode
I had a CAW with jackhammer as a finisher on smackdown's season mode, teamed up with triple h to face cena and angle in a hell in a cell match we somehow did the Jackhammer and Pedigree at the same time, I pinned angle, he pinned cena, the ref counted to 3 on triple h, but we both had them pinned, it was awesome [/easily impressed] |

Something like that happened to me. I was Hassan and I was with some guy against two other guys, forget who, and I was down playing possum, and my partner hit his finisher and we both did a pin and the ref counted it. Looked cool. |

Or just use a second controller for the other manager.

Use two controllers, or before the draft, take out all the main eventers and just leave the jobbers/fillers. select one of them click start then go to the free agents turn on the main eventers and then draft them.

Yeah but how do you turn off all main eventers before you draft?

Um.. When it's at the draft screen look at the bottom there should be something that says Roster somthing push whatever button it says to push then it will give the whole roster of superstars then when you get to all the main events press O to turn them off, then do the same thing in the free agents list when you start the GM Mode.

Was in a match a few days ago (Bret Hart=me, HBK=my mate vs. John Cena and someone I can't remember).
I get Cena in the Sharpshooter but my mate drops an elbow, Cena comes loose and my mate starts pounding on him. HOWEVER. Bret is still in that crouched Sharpshooter position and then 'Give Up' flashes across the screen, even though Cena is now being suplexed or something by my mate. WTF? Another thing: I can't play the game anymore as my PS2 is fucked. Everyone point and laugh @ me |

why are so many people complaining about GM mode and finding ways around it's difficulty? God forbid something in a video game be challenging!
I'm having a lot of fun trying to top smackdown and build up my favourite wrestler and CAWs popularity, while trying to beat smackdown at the same time. It's a lot of fun, really I enjoy it more than the predictable voice over, less flexibile season mode. GM mode is great, and next year imagine how good it would be, being able to actually watch the promos and perhaps even create storylines instead of just matches. Screw jobs, heel turns, face turns, etc. |

And be able to create how many promos there are in matches. Like instead of having 2 promos on each show, you can have like 4 or so? I think that would be good. |

I kinda cheated. I started GM mode up and did the draft regular. Then I made Rock and Austin available, but somehow the other show got them, so I went back and ended up gettin Hart, Andre, and Hollywood Hogan. I used Legends if that counts as cheating, eventhough the other show had legends as well.

man i love GM mode, the fans were into my Cena/Orton feud for 10 weeks and it ended with Cena winning the title in a last man standing match at vengeance. Orton had the title since the beginning, it was sweet
got 850 000 fans to my show with that payperview

^yo, that sounds awesome. I didn't know they actually have attendance rates. Fucking WWE should learn how to book shit with GM Mode instead of using writers

GM Mode is probably the best improvement in SvR2k6 in my opinion.
I understand it was a late addition, so imagine what 2k7's will be like where they have a whole year to plan it. |

Maybe I missed something but being able to edit the rosters so they weren't 3-4 months out of date might be a nice idea

Edit them how? You mean like in No Mercy? How many times does this need to be explained?
The No Mercy wrestlers were based on the CAW feature, so you could basically completely change a wrestler. Ever since then, they have ALL been customized models. Which is why you can't edit them, add stuff to them, or change anything about them. It's honestly no big deal. Just pretend their outfits aren't outdated, or make CAWs of them to "replace" them if it's that big of a deal. |

No, he means the rosters... Benoit on SmackDown!, etc...
It wouldn't work because it would mess up the commentary (not that it isn't messed up already...). |

It doesn't really mess up the commentary, it just means that the commentary would be cut down to just calling the match. If it is really that annoying you can just turn it off too.

Something's been bugging me about this game.
Ok, everyone here is aware that they are two opening sequences, a RAW video and a Smackdown video. What's bugging me is that song that plays during the Smackdown video. Does anyone know what song that is? |

Not positive, but if it's the current SmackDown! theme it's called Rise Up by Drowning Pool and it's on the WWE Vol. 6 CD.
