JackFetch Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 October 9, 2008 - Every year, THQ and Yuke's put out a WWE game, and every year, fans piss and moan because the roster is out of date -- someone switched shows, someone won a championship, and so on. WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2009 gives you the power to shut up and fix any continuity errors. Yes, via the Roster Editor, fans can pop into the game's roster and switch Superstars to whatever brand they like (Raw, SmackDown, ECW, Free Agent, Legend, or a special classification that's only available after being unlocked), swap titles, decide who is clean and who is dirty, as well as view stats and Abilities. In addition to the Roster Editor, SVR 09 packs a feature called Team Management. Here, you can create or destroy tag teams, give the duo a name, or add others to the stable. These changes only affect the exhibition stuff -- i.e. changing a champion isn't reflected in Road to WrestleMania or Career Mode -- but both of these modes are good for every character -- created, unlocked, Diva, etc. -- in the game and available from the moment you turn on the system. http://ps3.ign.com/articles/918/918351p1.h...mp;RSSid=918351 Some guys have been announced for the game even though they were let go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Okay, that feature was in the first Smackdown vs Raw. Doesn't fix the 30 guys that they leave out of the roster. Also, why the piss can't it be reflected in career mode? There's no stories to be told. It seriously can't be that hard to program. Why would I care if Matt Hardy is on ECW in exhibition mode?

SuaveStar Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Big Daddy V is in the game! That would be worth the money to see how he looks alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-T Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 My biggest problem with 2008 was the control scheme. I am not fond of using the analog sticks for the grapples. The control scheme in 2006 was the best of the series, followed by 2007, then 2005. And can we please go back to text-based storylines? I would much rather have tons of different storylines to play than have voices in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 I'm hoping they got rid of the "Hardcore, technical" and all that crap from the last game as that really ruined the fun of the game. Now for James or Dubs to say something about that not being the only problem... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 That wasn't the only problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 To be honest, it was a good idea on paper, but they executed it horribly. The main problem I have with modern wrestling games is that outside of moveset, no one is really distinctive. In Fire Pro, you can not only set parameters for their movement speed, whether or not they climb the ropes or do dives, whether or not they taunt before a big move, how often they go for their finisher, how different sorts of moves effect them, etc. They completely eliminated weight detection, no one has realistic movesets, and even guys like The Great Khali can do planchas. It's absurd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 At least in 07 it was near impossible to pick up Khali if you were a cruiserweight, in 08, the only person who couldn't lift him was Mysterio! Plus Orton has the punt now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 The punt? Wow, only took them three years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 The punt? Wow, only took them three years. Two. Wow someone's being very cynical! You could at least pretend you wouldn't rather be stuck in a room with me and having a conversation about chef hats, than play this game!

SuaveStar Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 Juts played the demo, and it seems a lot better than last years effort. The game feels more fluid and fun to play, it was hard going back to 08 after playing this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-T Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 At least in 07 it was near impossible to pick up Khali if you were a cruiserweight, in 08, the only person who couldn't lift him was Mysterio! Plus Orton has the punt now. On the PS2 version of SDvR 2007, only super heavyweights (Kane, Big Show, Umaga, etc.) could pick up Khali. Even John Cena could not lift the "Ultra Heavyweight." It was stupid that they had Khali in a higher weight class than Big Show, who (at the time) was 60 pounds heavier. Also, Mabel/Viscera/Big Daddy V is 50 pounds heavier than Khali. I wish, just one time, that Jerry Lawler would squeal about "puppies" when Big Daddy V (Big Daddy Double-D?) is coming to the ring. Just one time. That would rule.

SuaveStar Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 Picked it up today, it's underwhelming... You can only play the story mode as few characters and the story for taker is crap. It's still better than iMPACT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 I completed road to wrestlemania with all characters this sunday morning, I got it friday afternoon. It's an ok game, but I would say rent it if your not going to play multiplayer as the AI in tag matches is terrible, especially for your partners.

Guest Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Ha. IGN gave it a 7. They're usually the ones that pimp this game the most, too. The reviewer didn't seem to know what he was talking about half the time, as he was touting the AI sliders as an innovative new feature. That's been in the games for at least two years now. Career mode is a sham, create a finisher is too limiting, the AI is still horrible. All shockers. Apparently THQ also announced a patch today that is going to fix CAW attributes so you don't have to take all of them through career mode. The game just came out and there is already one huge problem they had to fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
