Re: Smackdown vs Raw 08 Announced

I played 07 alot but I wanted to play more online but man it was just laggy as hell sometimes. Plus all of the button mashing got tiresome at times. Although it was fun with the guys from here, TJ, WTF ect. Masterlock was Supreme LOLOL.

Plus pressing the discs in a manner so their not loud as hell on the 360 when spinning in the drive.

Re: Smackdown vs Raw 08 Announced

I can not stand freakin mashing buttons....Why can't everything be like the N64 games..so fun, so easy , did I mention so fun and so easy to learn and play.

I put myself so hyped in Smackdown vs raw and really I barely ever played it

Re: Smackdown vs Raw 08 Announced

If they don't reduce the loading times, there's no way in hell that I'm buying a game from this series again. It was pathetic. Loading screens between menus! Give me a break. I enjoy the game but those loading times were as big an annoyance as I've had in another game.

Oh, another two things that will make me hesitant to buy this game- no ability to trade superstars and the inability to play custom music. With an old-*** roster (Kurt Angle in 07 was hilarious), you damn well better let us able to trade superstars and use our own music.

That was a softball interview- I think these above issues are the things that a lot of us have voiced concerns about and I'd love to get answered.

Forgot about the loading times somehow... it's definitely issue #2 on my priority list.

I definitely agree about the butt-load of glitches, but the loading times really frustrated me. I have a load of next-gen games, and none have the loading time problems that Smackdown has (some of those games require a bit more juice from the 360 than Smackdown). Honestly, loading times like that were left behind with the PSOne, or atleast I thought.

Re: Smackdown vs Raw 08 Announced

Be nice if they would put more moves in the game. They eliminated about 200 moves to implement that system with the analog stick from last year.

And General Manager mode is gone as well. Bummer.

Re: Smackdown vs Raw 08 Announced

What? GM gone?! WHAT!?!

I'm still playing GM mode almost nightly with 07.

Re: Smackdown vs Raw 08 Announced

WWE 24/7 mode?

That sounds like a helluva headache

Re: Smackdown vs Raw 08 Announced

They gotta let us cheat this year! I never even bought the 360 version because you had to unlock everything yourself and couldn't download any CAW saves. Terrible. If they don't let us do either of two things, I'm gonna pick up the PS2 version, if there is one.

it's been like that for awhile though. There's youtube vids of the previous year's game on the psp with loading screens for loading screens.

It's called ****ty programming, and they need to be called out on it.

Loading screens for loading screens Honestly, the game looks good but there are many games (Oblivion) that didn't need egregious load times like that and required a whole lot more dedication of system resources than Smackdown. Hell, they're animating two models in the ring and a whole bunch of rudimentary 3D figures in the crowd. That shouldn't tax the 360 as those loading screens make it seem like.

And loading screens in the main menu is just plain inexcusable- I hope they realize just how freakin annoying it was to play this game.

As Jiggidy said, the inability to trade CAWS online was weak. Please don't use a lame excuse like "People will write curse words on the trunks of players." Rate the game as M if you think that will happen. When you have one of the most outdated rosters in the history of wrestling games, you damn well better give us that option.

As you can see, I was very bitter about the game. I loved playing it but I just got tired of some parts of the game with time.

Re: Smackdown vs Raw 08 Announced

My biggest problem is with the gamplay. Fix that first. Change it completely. Fire Pro, No Mercy, Virtual Pro Wrestling, Koc2, All Star Pro Wrestling, whatever. Just change it into something playable.
