I also was wondering if you're able to select where you want the belt to be positioned on your CAW (ie..over the shoulder). Probably not..I'm assuming.

I'm pretty sure there is an option in the Create An Entrance for how you want to come out with the belt.

I've heard reports of a lot of people getting it early. Especially in the UK; so, be on the lookout now until Tuesday if you guys are at stores that sell games.

Its been leaked onto the net for a few days now, a lot of people have it.

Stop tempting me. Must resist. Extreme Rules does not make up for all the other craptiness. I laugh at you weak minded puppets who bought the game on release day. The Anal Gnomes (Prefer it to 'buttgoblins') shall control you forever.

Hang on, No Mercy is coming back, and updated? Awesome. that and Fire Pro will make me set for wrestling games. CHIKARA No Mercy CAW Roster, ECW Roster, Legends Roster, or ROH roster? That's my only dilema.

Well, some of us enjoy the WWE and not CHIKARA/ROH, and enjoy the theatrics of Smackdown games. The entrances are usually top notch and exciting and bring a definite atmosphere to the game.

One of my favorite things to do is run through all of the entrances the wrestlers have in the game and see how they stack up. I'm going to enjoy this more with the custom soundtracks.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the theatrics, gimmicks and flashiness of SVR at first. But it got old, and I want a lot more substance behind it now.


I'm still being tempted by it, mainly because it looks like it may be my only wrestling videogame option, with no FPR European news and me not having a 360 or PS3 for iMPACT. But the answer to oen question could decide whether or not I buy the game:

Created Titles. Do they have proper titleholders and title records now like the in-game belts, or are they the same system as last year, where you can't have an all CPU match, can't challenge the belt and can only defend it, and there's no proper titleholder.

It's the same system as last year.

After even further playing i have discovered that JBL's commentary is the exact same lines Tazz has been firing out over the past few games. *sigh*

Ohh and two more questions to those who have it, is nWo music or titantron in the game? And who are the default skins for CAW?

I don't remember seeing any nWo music or videos, if you have a 360 you can add the music

I haven't look at skins yet but the template wrestlers didn't look like anyone I know apart from number 1 he look a little like Benimaru from King of fighters

[shiranui]

I think there was a female CAW face that looked just like Victoria.

I should create her, so that there'd be some contention for my custom SHIMMER title which looks nothing like the real SHIMMER belt.

Anyone figured out what cheat mode does yet?

Boo-urns. No dice THQ. No proper created belts equals no buy. Created belts are basically worthless props- just unneccessary pixels and disc space.

Just out of curiosity, since they had the time to do the DX entrance and even gave HBK and Triple H DX attires, does anybody know if there's an actual DX storyline in the new game?

No, there isn't.

And like hell i'd have a bunch of 15-year-old jackwads with names like "THA BIG PUN" fight for anything I create.

Now if we had a league going, I'd be more open to it.

We wanted to get a league going last year, and I'm dead serious about following through with it this year.

Seriously, a WC 360 league is the ONLY thing that will make me buy this game. Custom soundtracks woulda been good enough, but once I learned the most retarded decision in the history of video games, banning logos/text from online CAWs was back, I said f*** it.

Does anything think that there will be any possibility that in future WWE games they will add the more recent crowd chants such as:
"TNA! TNA!"
"You can't wrestle! [*clap, clap, clap clap clap*]"
"Borrr-ing!"

[s1mplemathematics]

These CAWs are looking pretty nice so far. I've seen a good Raven, and a good old school Undertaker on caws.ws

Looks like the hair options are a lot better.

The thing is, A lot of WC players have PS3s as well

That could be heard many times in every single CAW match on SD vs. RAW 2006.

If you're looking for a way to get the GM-mode achievement on the 360 the easy way, then have a look at this link:

boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=938801&topic=39461257

It took me about 80 minutes until I had the 100%, just after I finished Cyber Sunday I had all the points I needed. Just keep sure to have two happy wrestlers, if they are asking for a new and better contract, then just pay the money, you won't use much money anyway.

[shiranui]

Time for a couple of stupid questions...

Is there anyone who could tell me how the hell I change the targeted wrestler in matches with more than two participants? The automatic "target nearest wrestler" system sucks ass and causes too many unnecessary mistakes, and I just can't seem to find the button to change my target despite trying to press all of them. The manual doesn't help either.

Also, how do I fine-tune my CAW attributes? I have bought a technical starter pack and premium pack for Sara Del Rey, raising her overall to 80, but is there any way I could just assign attributes manually? I checked CAWs.ws and they had various custom attributes for wrestlers, but I can't seem to figure out how it's done as there isn't a "Change Attributes" menu like in previous games.
