Are we sure that Smackdown is gonna be onn the Xbox, or will it be something like RAW or Wrestlemania 21?

I think he meant the 360. And personally, the "water down the CAW on 360 so it doesn't overshadow the PS2" doesn't hold weight becuase both CAW's are still the same on both systems, and the 360 even has twice as many layers.

That's true, but what about not having logos, designs, and text on your caws for the 360 version? If you have any, you can't go online with your caw. Yukes claims they did it because they were worried people would make ofensive caws.

That's just a load of BS. If that restriction should have been placed on any version, it should have been the PS2 version. There
is absolutely no reason for it on the 360 version. We can police that stuff ourselves with the feedback and complaint systems.

As for Smackdown vs Raw 2008, it will be on the 360, as it's being developed on the 360 and then ported to the PS3 like 2007 was ported to the PS2.

I'm hoping that since 2008 will be for 2 very capable next gen consoles, that Yukes does a complete overhaul on the game engine. That might be a pipe dream though.

Damn the Power 25 in GM Mode! Bastard won't let me put Foley in the elimination chamber for the title.

Can anyone give any advice on beating Khali with Mickie?

It's really starting to piss me off.

Have you turned reversals down?

Have you changed Mickie's moveset so it actually resembles her real moveset??

Does anyone have a Bart Oates CAW?

I cant beat Edge in the Magic storyline, i dunno why I always climb the ladder then he jumps up like hes Cena or someone then I lay on the ground for an hour while he takes his sweet time.

It was tricky, no question.

I had the idea of letting him take the case down to one notch, and then I'd knock him off the ladder, throw him out of the ring and nab it myself. It took quite a while to get him to grab the damn case and not try and elbow drop me.

I let him pull at the case until there was a sliver of red left, pushed the ladder out of the case's range with a few strike animations, threw him out of the ring, Tiger Driver, grabbed the case.

I enjoyed the "Turning into a woman" thing, just for my British wrestler, Matt Rogers, telling Viscera to shut up in his Brooklyn accent. It didn't make a lot of sense, but it was awesome.

GM Mode can be real good fun, and real annoying. For instance, I booked a great Kennedy/Foley feud on SD for 2 months, and a Benoit/Angle feud for 2 months that's now going on in a new direction for another 2 months. Hometown involvement can also be useful-- for instance, before a Smackdown in Ireland, I hired Finlay and ran a debut promo, then he debuted in-ring in his home country (Ireland, obviously) and beat the world champ, skyrocketing his popularity. However, I do find a couple of things annoying- one, fans tend to turn on a rilvary right before a PPV- I had an excellent Mexicools/MNM tag title feud that had 2 thumbs up, then went thumbs down on the SD! before Judgement Day, forcing the Title Ladder match to be the final match. Also ,the contender system- guys can drop out of contention due to losing 1 match, yet others can lose 4 in a row and remain contenders. Melina hasn't been used much and has been a winning amanger even less, yet she's higher ranked than my tag and cruiser champs, the rest of MNM and Kid Kash. Or the world champion can lose 3 weeks in a row yet still be No.1, while the No.1 contender is about number 5. Finally, the morale system annoys me. A guy whinges for a title shot constantly, then you give him one, he lsoes, and he whinges because he's losing all the time. RVD's my favourite wrestler, yet is currently on a heavy losing streak vs Kennedy- 0-4. I'm booking it this way for his recapturing of the US title to mean more, but he's complaining and is 'Unsatisifed' so I'll have to jump the gun on hsi title win and maybe have Kennedy win it back (Which I don't want as I'm moving Kennedy to the Main Event after the Great American Bash). Still, overall I'm finding GM Mode fun, despite these niggles.

So to get Vince, do I have to win the title on Raw mode 5 times or go through it 5 times? Same with SD for Long and Heyman? If I am gonna dedicate myself to doing that, wanna make sure I do it right.

I'm pretty sure you can't unlock Vince at all.

On another note, I HATE THE GOSHDARN ONLINE MODE!

that is all.

I'm wrestling Carlito in season mode as my CAW Steve "The Ace" Huchins. His strength is a 7.5 currently. I attacked Carlito with a german suplex; he's on red for the whole body; difficulty is on Normal. He sells for about 3 seconds, and gets back up. I proceed to hit him with a running grapple shining wizard. He immediately gets up. First time this has happened to me. It's ridiculous.

[Majibb]

GM Mode can be pretty infuriating sometimes, for one thing I don't like having former WWE superstars like Jericho, or Christian Cage and have them start with 20 pop. points, they should let us customize CAW popularity levels, or at least put them around 50.

Based on what I'm hearing about SDvR08, am I assuming correctly that WWE dropped the lawsuit against THQ?

Also, I too am sick of 'I Got A Bullet With A Name! (Bullet!)' Thank God for mp3 players.

I was playing against my friend the other day. He was Hogan and I was Triple H. We were both red on head and body. The match was going for about 20 minutes. I hit him with the pedigree and I kid you not... He got up in less than 5 seconds.

And on a different note. The voice acting for every single CAW voice is insanely terrible, IMO.

[cronker]

GM mode is frustrating at times. The contender nonsense gets annoying, but Im getting the hang of it.

Just last night I played with my friend as a tag team. He was Hogan, I was Piper and we had a tornado tag TLC against Cena and Snitsky.

We layethed such a lovely Smackethdown on Cena.

Just quickly, how do you get to the Magic storyline?

[Majibb]

Don't challenge for the title when Vengeance rolls around.

Especially the one that, in the sample, doesn't sound Mexican, but then when you get to a cutscene sounds like a Guerrero with a cold.

Sounds like someone's working you.

You cannot unlock Vince, Long, or Heyman period.

So I did something on the game last night too cool to ever happen in real life. Had Rated RKO in the ring, and (this is all in my head, of course) they're cutting a promo, Edge is saying how they are the most dominant tag team ever, and how no one can touch them, especially all the old 'super teams' the fans loved..."The Rockers? Marty Jannetty doesn't want to lose his place in the unemployment line! Demolition? Old, fat, DEMOLISHED! LOD? One of them is dead, buried, and useless....and, oh yeah, Hawk passed away too."

Then Orton goes on his boring legend killer spiel, talking about how he single-handedly wiped out all the WWE's legends, and now he's doing it in the tag ranks too, and there is NO ONE around that can stop them....

So cue Steve Austin storming the ring. Austin says he's been waiting for 4 long years to kick somebody's ass, and a brawl is on. Austin is in charge at first but starts to get dominated....when a tapping white boot appears on the Titan Tron... DUDE LOVE runs out to aid Austin, and 20 minutes later after a helluva match WE HAVE NEW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS, OWWWW HAVE MERCY, ITS 1998 ALL OVER AGAIN!
