1. Less legends, more current roster.

I agreed with most of what you said except for this. Maybe it's because I almost never end up using half the guys in the game, including the guys I like in real life, like Carlito and Benjamin. But I'd much rather have a ton of legends in there.

As for Junkyard Dog, WWE really needs to make a DVD about him or something; people forget/never knew how much of a draw he was, and he was easily one of the most likeable wrestlers in WWF history. It sucked in SvR because they understatted him way too much. They shafted him on strength and charisma, his two biggest attributes, and made him no better than a midcarder.

And they introduced him as "The Legend," that's just sad

Yeah, I should rewrite that. I mean less of the same legends. If they are going to use the same ones over and over again, then give me more of the current roster.

I'd rather have omre CAW spots then either of them. Hell WWE just give us a blank game.

[E:P]

How about eliminating those piss-poor load times on the CAW entrances?

[Crappler El 0 M]

Put back the moves they took out. I agree on getting rid of the crotch/ass blur.

[Sharpy Snow]

A story mode that dosn't involve 6 Diva Chasing story lines.

[samachine]

Super Brainbuster, uh and crazy idea

Adjustable skirts. Raven does not need a grandma skirt.

[DukeDavis]

The reason the CAWs take so long is because all a CAW save file is are a bunch of directions not unlike a CAW you'd find online. So every time you load a CAW, it has to reconstruct the character from scratch while the game is loaded, instead of just reaching onto the disc and finding JohnCena.wre or TrishStratus.wre and placing it there.

So the only real solution is likely coming with the PS3 and the harddrive. If a CAW is made and, instead of just being a list of body sizes and clothes types and colors, it saves the actual body as a 3D model and the clothes as an actual texture, then it will load significantly faster.

Of course, the whole issue might be moot if the PS3's processors are strong enough to load the whole thing instantly. Which may be the case, and may also be why we're paying $600 for it.

[Oak: Certified Jade Hater]

Would that be accessible on the 360? Because I don't really feel like shelling $600 for the PS3 just for that feature.

[bret screwed bret]

Just one small request: fewer Wrestlecrappy storylines in Season Mode.

For example, finding the person responsible for the hitting of Teddy Long with a car was an actual storyline. First off, nobody would bother hitting Teddy Long with a f***ing car. Second of all, even if somebody did hit him with a car, nobody would give two shits about it. f*** Teddy Long.

[Cyno]

One of the features I'd really want, custom soundtrack ability for wrestlers' entrances, comes standard on EVERY XBox 360 game via the XB360 Dashboard, so unless the rest of the game is horrible and buggy, that's sold me on the 360 version.

Other things I want:

More arenas. RAW, SD, Heat, Velocity, and the PPV are pretty much standard. But I want to see 2 ECW arenas. An ONS arena based on the Hammerstein Ballroom (like in SDvR06) and an all purpose ECW arena based on the New Alhambra/ECW Arena. I also want to see some older RAW and SD arenas. I'd mark out for the SD Ovaltron or the RAW set with the red curtains, not to mention older Wrestlemania arenas. Finally, I'd love to have the old WCW Nitro set. Honestly, this could be downloadable content on XBL Marketplace and I'd pay money for it.

Move wrestling moves - SDvR06's move database was pretty big, but even more stuff can be added. Hopefully, with the addition of ECW, there will be some more crazy moves. I'd love to see the Van Terminator in there.

Savable Audience Gauge - SDvR06 started off on the right foot by having the choice of fighting Clean or Dirty effect if a wrestler gets cheered or booed. Now they need to expand it. Have two different meters: one that goes from seething hatred to all cheers (middle of the road being a mixture of cheers and boos), and another that determines how big the reaction is (low-end would be the Conway Pop, high end would be Stone Cold winning the WWF Championship at WM14). Have the ability to save these reactions not just for CAW's, but pre-made superstars so that we can keep up-to-date with turns, and more importantly, indepedent of how clean or dirty a wrestler fights. (Having to change Kurt Angle to "fight clean" manually everytime is a pain, especially when the fans still boo him after he wins the match.)

Expanded Create-a-Belt. Make it more like the CAW options, with the ability to flip, rotate, and move around parts of the belt. Also, more belt parts in general.

Tons of buyable, downloadable content on XBL Marketplace or the PS3's equivalent - Since downloadable content (I think price is optional and up to the publishers) is pretty much required of MS for publishers of 360 titles, we can probably count on this, but still, I hope THQ/Yuke's doesn't half-ass it. I'd love to have new entrance videos, new CAW parts and announced names, new arenas, new weapons, new moves, and other new content available for download.

Take out Fuffill Your Fantasy. That match type was worthless. At least Bra & Panties wasn't as humiliating to play.

Interactive promo cutting. Nothing too fancy, just a few options for your wrestler to say in the middle of the ring or backstage in order to make story mode a little more interactive.

Finally...

BRING BACK EDIT MODE!! Seriously, that was the best feature of WM2000 and No Mercy and I'd love to see it come back for pre-made WWE superstars.

That's all I can think of.

[Allison Reynolds]

Its just a small issue, but I hate when you create a wrestler and their name or at least a similar name isn't there and you have to settle with something like "the prototype" or "the legend killer"

who would really make another John Cena or Randy Orton anyway?

Seeing my superstars announced as "making her way to the ring: sexy girl!" Now the real life counter part is sexy but thats not the name! I wish there was a way we could get their real names in there somehow or just have an otion to not announce them, like in the old N64 games, but thats just me.

Similar to call names, please don't go overboard with only having names like Stephen but not Steve, or Raymond but not Ray, or Robert but not Bob or Rob. Catch my drift? Also, let us use the regular superstar names too.

[Allison Reynolds]

Yea... I looked over the list and they always have 2 of the same name I mean wtf?

They have Shawn and Sean... they have Stephen and Stephan.. They are pronounced exactly the same..

[Blindkarevik]

Wishful thinking... it'll never happen... but I wish there was a special jump button, along with a balance meter... so you could do freestyle jumps onto turnbuckles, ropes, tables, whatever... and the balance meter you'd have to keep centered until you pressed a button to do an attack.

More than anything else though, I'd love more freedom to experiment with moves.

For example.... currently if you make two impacts simultaneously on a double team move.. (maybe a legdrop and frog splash).... it will only register one impact so one of you will act as though you missed the move. If they could make it so the "in pain" animation could be broken up by a second move, it'd add more variety to double team moves... and not limit you to strictly pre-programmed or irish whip set-up moves.

Ive always wanted something like a jump button so you can do like what Sabu does and jump of a chair onto the ropes onto the outside

Multiplayer Season
A large collection of WWE themes, even for people who aren't on it
Canadian Destroyer
Get rid of all the stupid shit on CAWs like the pictures of clowns and basketballs

Indeed, just a waste of space for that.

Plus another thing I'd like to see would be that when you set up a table or ladder, it doesn't slide across the ring is someone grazes it or walks by it. Nothing more annoying then having a table move out of position during a match and having to keep setting it up.

Also being able to have you tag team partner be smarter during matches would be nice along with the ref not constantly stopping you or your teammate from coming into the ring.

Yeah, old themes & vids would be appreciated for CAWs.
Remove the stupid ass/crotch blur. Only idiots spend any time dancing with myself over OMGZ!!1!11! t3h n00d tRizh 5tR4tUz CAw!!!1!1!!!1!
Sort out the "looping" entrance themes. I want lengthy versions (full versions if possible) of Conway's, Paul London's & Snitsky's themes so I can apply them to my lenghty CAW entrances.
Divas should be playable in any match type.
CAW Divas should be included in "Fulfill Your Fantasy" matches. Actually, scrap "FYF" matches. They suck!

I agree about the crotch blur needing to go, besides its impossible to accurately make 99% of any decent wrestler perfectly with it.....but, sadly, lots of people DO make OMG N00d DIVAZ....I've faced countless naked Melina, Trish, and Maria CAWs online, its really sad. I'll post my wish list in a second, I'm still too mad about Goldust being fired.
