I have to ask: Why do we get excited for this game every year? Hope springs eternal, young man. I know I was hoping that a move to the 360 would give them a chance to work out any bugs and make improvements in the AI and playability. Then I realized who we're talking about, and what generation this, and just sighed.

I have to ask: Why do we get excited for this game every year? Because they tell us all the awesome features, and then take them away as we near launch date. Bait-and-switch, ya see. word, and cause there's no competition. I tell you this, if there was a GOOD wrestling game with decent graphics, custom soundtrack, and a better CAW than SD, I would never buy SD again.

I'm also getting it this year because i figure it'll at least look awesome despite playing a bit meh (though they apparently fixed the selling), plus this will be the first year I can actually do online play, instead of playing my friends who pretty much telegraph their moves (and vice-versa)

I like the Smackdown games. Even the new ones. People here just like to complain about very little details, like the music.
But I do agree that THQ is pushing it´s luck with 80 spinny thingies and a Locker room. Seriously, who used that crap in 06?

The locker room is like getting horse armor in Oblivion, nobody but you will see it much less give a damn about it.

Music is a very EASY thing to implement, its not like we're asking for a totally new grapple engine. Even easier? Enable custom soundtracks so we can fix it ourselves.

Yeah I do agree they are easy, but they are a minor fact. When I do CAW videos I just edit the music and there ya go.

Yeah but a lot of us play online and want our guys to be as realistic as possible (Although I dont know if any game has custom soundtracks that work online?) Me personally, my TV is right next to my computer, so I'll just set all my CAWs to no music, and play their proper theme myself off the CPU lol

That may add what...5 seconds to load time? Again I don't know if that's how that works, so don't quote me on that if one is going for accuracy

WOW, nearly thirty pages five times (five times over) on a wrestling video game. I hope the new game is better than SVR 06.

I get excited cause of the CAW creation, to be honest. It REALLY is the most enjoyment I get out of the game and with fewer active wrestlers that I have to create, the more new CAWS I can develop.
YES they should do more with the # of slots, the music, the movesets and some of the commentary, but you have to make it fun for yourself sometimes however you can.
I'm countin' the days right now. Next Tuesday, I'm getting me a copy.

I filled up 2 different memory cards last year....
