I'll never understand why they didn't build the main series off of Day of Reckoning. The gameplay and graphics absolutely killed the Smackdown vs. RAW series. I guess they figured that 90% of the audience were familiar with the SVR games, and rather than alienate them, they'd stick with that formula.

The PS2 was the best selling console. The Smackdown games sold like gangbusters because more people owned PS2s than GameCubes. I'm suspecting something similar happened with PS1 games compared to N64. That's probably why THQ let go of AKI and stuck with Yuke's instead...

I think AKI left to work with EA on the WCW Mayhem sequel on PS2, but it ended up cancelled when WCW was bought out. And they later worked with EA on the first two Def Jam wrestling-style games.

Sometime, I feel like making an outright list of every single thing that annoys me about the AI in this game. It'd probably take hours to do, but still.
Either way, given just how frustrating it is, the tendency of the AI to insist on always, always, always pairing up into one-on-one fights and being obsessive about keeping them up no matter what would probably be the list's Armbar equivalent.

i'm sure its been quoted/liked mentioned many times but DAMN that Daniel Bryan entrance is spectacular. I hope they keep his with title entrance in from '13
Thankfully we dont have anorexic Ryback this time around.

I'm just waiting on the full roster reveal. I really want to see the Shield's models, and see if guys like Fandango and Big E. are in.

You know it's really a shame that it is impossible to recreate the dudley/e&c/hardy thriple threat from wm2000 in a wrestlemania celebrating game. i can't understand why tag team thriple threats are not possible especially since at least hardcore ones were there in svr06

I'm not usually one to complain, and I'm getting the game no matter what, but it does seem ridiculous that they want people to preorder and they still haven't released half of the roster.
Although I'm not much of a gamer, so this could be common practice for all I know.
