I want to see them make a game with Day Of Reckoning's old engine, it was like having a New Japan match with superstars, the moves list in that game were awesome as well. On the real though, that would be wonderful. What REALLY gets me is that YUKE'S DEVELOPED THE DOR GAMES AS WELL. They clearly know how to make a truly awesome game. And don't get me wrong, I enjoy the modern WWE games as well, a lot more than most. But still, Day of Reckoning 2 is probably my favorite wrestling game. It's just so damn great. I want more.

Loved me some SVR 06. Matches flowed so well on that game.

6. Nothing like naming your wrestler, and needing to have the announcer give him a name. So any name, I came up with, would need to sync with the announcer. Oh and because they're lazy, they only have first names available, along with several other very generic ring names. That forced me to get somewhat clever. Wesley became "Wes Lee" and so forth. Again, going back to Warzone, I'd almost prefer if they'd just generically call me "Player One". I named my Bobby Lashley CAW "Ashley".

Honestly I think you have to turn down the counters to make the game enjoyable because it turns way too many matches back and forth in circumstances there they shouldn't be (though going from 2006 back to HCTP is hilarious when you re-live the experience of just massacring guys as Goldberg or Lesnar)
The two biggest weaknesses are the roster and the near impossibility of hitting top rope moves. I had a 25 minute marathon between my CAW Randy Savage and 80s Hogan that went that long because he wouldn't stay down for the damn elbow drop. It took multiple sledgehammer shots, all my big moves, and pure luck that I managed to hit it.
I do dig some of the Rumble mechanics, though I do think there's got to be some good medium between the quick tosses of the HCTP era and the meter stuff of 2006.

I was one of the "bumpmeisters" back when that was cool on YouTube. The only way I ever managed to hit a diving finisher (outside of using a table) was to hold the O button on Player 2 so they would be ready for the suprise rollup move.

Another thing I'm sick of is the damn crowd chanting 'Boring' even though the match has just started, at least crowds In real life have waited for a little bit to have a fair opinion, I've heard the boring chants in SvR 2006 before a minute has passed.

Here Comes the Pain and Smackdown vs. Raw 2006 are 2 of the best WWE games.
I had a lot of fun with both. With SVR2006 matches felt like real matches they really felt competitive.
Worst things about the game though?
-The Elimination Chamber glass breaking sound was gone(though it was in HCTP) also throwing people into the cage inside the chamber didn't make the same sound.
-Sometimes you would accidentally hit the referee because he was standing too close to you while you were trying to hit your opponent.
-Only being able to unlock Jake the Snake Roberts through having the PSP version of the game. One of the STUPIDEST ways to unlock anything ever.
-Not many unlockable costumes. Shut Your Mouth and Here Comes the Pain(IIRC) had more.
Other than that though the game was awesome.

I still remember hearing the crowd chanting for a low-carder like saying "Conway sucks" or even chanting for "Eugene." Okay, I get that Eugene was over at one point, but Rob Conway? He may have gotten SOME kind of heat as one of La Resistance, but not in his singles career. He got NO REACTION in real life at all.

I also like how the default CAW music was f***in' Sylvan. And IIRC, both he and Conway were in their La Resistance attire, yet had their singles' Titantron and such.
Another travesty of the game was who the default champions were; Hassan and Daivari were tag champs for some reason.

This was the only time that you would ever see Joy Giovanni and Christy Hemme in a video game. I can understand Christy's inclusion in the game as she was on TV a lot during that time, but to this day, I still wonder how Joy got in the game.
