---------------------------------------------
- You can’t wrestle as Stone Cold in his normal wrestling attire, for some reason.
- They expect Jake Roberts to be the secret legend on PSP and to be taken out of the current build of Smackdown! vs. Raw.
- 3 tiers of blood are “done very well.”
- Plenty of wrestlers cannot be used for season mode. I didn’t have a chance to get them down... but the list is large. This could be do to the fact that this is an early build, and hopefully it is, but as of right now most of the lower and mid card roster can’t be used in season.
- Anyone can be added into a stable, fixing the issue from last year. 5 people can be in a stable.
- Women cannot be used in 6 man tags.
- Fulfil Your Fantasy is better than bra and panties matches of years past.
- Million Dollar Man comes out with his suit and belt... but no tron or music yet.
- Two modes of Create An Entrance... ‘Easy’ and ‘Advanced’. Easy, obviously is easier. Advanced gives you more options. This will apparently “keep you busy for awhile.”
- Superstars entrances are changeable.
- No tag titles, CW titles, hardcore titles, etc. in season mode. Only the US, IC, WWE, and World Heavyweight.
- Buried Alive matches are “very fun.” Ends with backhoe dropping dirt on casket filling the grave, lighting hitting the tombstone, and your music playing. Other hosts say the match is very hard.
- Create a PPV is basically the same as last year. You still can’t change the rules for matches.
- Area between cage and ringside in HITC is a little smaller than last year.
- Game is a “remarkable improvement over last years game.”
THey also said that they completed 1 year of Season mode, and during the 2nd year, EVERYTHING WAS REPETITIVE!!! (Why THQ WHY?!?!?!)
The guy was trying to create the original WWF championship belt, but he couldn't find it.
You can create the old IC title and the Smokin Skull belt.
From the gamecam, the title matches in Exhibition are gonna be off the hook. Right when you select TITLE MATCH, you can choose to challenge for ANY of the 10 championship belts (or any created belts), and you can defend/challenge for them in ANY match type (INCLUDING BATTLE ROYALES), although I don't think you can play for them in BURIED ALIVE matches.
There doesn't seem to be any I QUIT match this year, and I don't see PARKING LOT BRAWL anywhere (unless it's under the new BACKSTAGE BRAWLS matchtype, which they didn't go into).
The main title menu reads like this:
EXHIBITION
CREATE MODES (CAW, Create a Moveset, Create Entrance, Assign Attributes, Create Stable)
GAME MODES (they didn't go into this)
ONLINE
LOCKER ROOM
OPTIONS
They also mentioned that the AI in the ladder matches SUCKS BIG TIME. They don't even try to win or anything.
They also said that British Bulldog's entrance looks dope (especially his cape), but he doesn't come out with his dog.
Jake doesn't have Damien (the snake) with him.
Ted DiBiase doesn't stuff dollar bills in his opponent's mouth after winning the match.
They also mentioned that Batista's attire is the same one from 2 years ago (the one we've seen in the pics lately). THey didn't say anything about him having an alternate attire, so hopefully that's not a bad sign or anything.
They also said that "they wouldn't count on everyone's entrance attires being included in the final version of the game". Hopefully, they'll be wrong in the end.
besides the addition of the second ladder and the lack of AI (which is the only match the computer is stupid in, trust me.) It's the same ladder match from last year. No different.
1.) Yes the cage has been greatly improved. You can now slam people off the cage in the game. You can also if they are leaning against the ropes the grapple move drops them to the floor and you can sling shot them into the cage, it's sweet! You can also hit up and circle when the person is climbing and climb up behind the guy grab him by the trunks and slam him back to the mat. The new added features makes me enjoy the cage match for the first time since No Mercy. And yes there is a door to go through, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to go through it! lol As soon as I figure it out I'll let you know.
2.) I was not the one who said it was just rumors, that was Charles Shane. I was the one who said, "All I have to say is, have you people seen the back cover of the Austrailian box art?" All I can say is...the box is real. So take it for what its worth lol
3.) Hell in a cell isnt much different from last year. You can reach under the apron for weapons now but there aren't any lol. You climb the side of the cell a whole lot slower which is great. And the cell looks like it was re done. But other than that, there really isn't anything different about it this year.
4.) CAW I only messed with for about 20 minutes but I was blown away by how detailed everything was. From hair to clothes to the faces of the wrestlers...Everything looks fantastic, with the proper time and effort you should have no problem creating anyone you want.
As for the nWo theme question in an earlier post. What's weird about Hollywood is it's very faint you can barely hear it. But it is the nWo theme, I'm just assuming it will be fixed by the time for the final version. But trust me when I say this I was not a supporter of all 3 Hogans at first but seeing all three of them now they are all fantastic and deserve to be in.
Stamina affects alot of things in the game, like if you have no stamina...and your opponent hits you with an irish whip to the turnbuckle. You won't even make it there because your knees will buckle and you will fall to the floor mid-run in exhaustion. It affects you mostly after you pull off moves, but it will slow your wrestler down to the point that it's hard to counter and pull off moves against your faster and more well rested opponent. It's really such a great concept...It's about time Yukes stole it from the Fire Pro series lmao!
1.) Season is great even though it is ONLY one year. The day I got the game I hammered down a season with Carlito and won the WWE Title at Wrestlemania, after that the credits rolled (which are still the credits from SVR 05 weird) I went back into the game to play as Carlito again and I figured I would start my reign as champion and it made me play from the beginning all over again! Dats not cool!!
But there are character specific story modes because I saw one for myself with John Cena, who ironically unless you select him is a Smackdown character in season but if you pick him he is on RAW. I have no idea how to explain that, but I would assume by picking the respective 2 champions in the game. The two generic story line years for both Smackdown and RAW and a few character specific story lines it seems like there are probably about 4 or 5 years at least of story lines without repetition which is quite good if you think about it.
2.) The only title you can defend in buried alive that I could find was the Hardcore Championship held by Mankind. No other titles were defendable in Buried Alive except that one.
Q: What I want to know that I hope can be answered tommorrow is about attires.Are there anymore attires that we don't know about that we could be informed of? Also if he can answer if any legends have multiple attires? Rock, Austin, Mankind?
A: The only one of the three you named that has a muliple attire is Stone Cold, he has his street gear along with his traditional wrestling gear, yes Charles Shane made an error last night. He does infact have his wrestling gear in the game. So people can calm down about that.
Q: I couldn't help but notice that you said your season with Carlito concluded at Wrestlemania. As I’m sure you’re aware from the IGN coverage of the Raw Season Mode, it begins in August in preparation for Summerslam. Is this also the case for Smackdown Season, or does it begin directly following Wrestlemania so as to allow the season to last a full twelve months?
Also, I noted whilst listening to the show tonight that there is an issue with Stone Cold’s traditional black boots and black trunks wrestling attire not being in the current build that you guys have. Is this definitely the case or is it a misunderstanding, because if it isn’t in, it would seem somewhat unlikely that his traditional attire would be added into the game in the final 10%?
A: As ashamed as I am to admit it, i played through the season so quickly I dont remember what PPV it started me at, it was definitley a few months after Wrestlemania. So I don't believe it was an entire 12 months...sorry sad As for your Austin question, read the answer above lol.
Q: Can divas (and female CAWS) finally bleed in this game?
A: No they cant.
Q: Can you fight divas (and female CAWS) in matches like Buried Alive/Hardcore/Backstage Brawls?
A: I havent checked that out yet, but I figure if they can't be in a 6 man they won't be able to do those matches either. I'll check on that though this week.
Q: Is the Vengeance PPV Arena from 2004 or 2005 (the Vegas one)?
A: I haven't went through all the PPV arenas and I don't remember the ones the WWE shows each year, I just know they all look fantastic and well done.
Q: Is the 10-count in the Last Man Standing match a lot SLOWER this time (like in HCTP)?
A: Have not played a last man standing match, will definitley have an answer later this week once I have played it.
Q: Can you make multiple attires for your CAW (I'm talking about match attires, not entrance or cutscene attires), and how many can you have?
A: No extra match attires, just one...And hell if that isn't enough just go back in and change him before your next match lol, BOOM! Multiple attires.
Q: How many backstage areas can you fight in? And can you access the backstage areas from the main ring area, and do they all connect? (like in SYM and HCTP)
A: I believe there are 3 or 4 backstage areas to fight in but don't quote me on that, and I do not think they connect from the main ring area, I tried to go up the ramp in a hardcore match at a PPV and there were no arrows anywhere that allowed me to leave the arena.
Q: Unlike in SvR, in the Hardcore backstage match, where you could only do 1 on 1...has that been fixed up in SvR06, where you can do backstage tagteam/triple threat/4-way/6 man/time-limit matches? (just like in SYM and HCTP)
A: I only played one on one so I didn't think to check, sorry man. I don't know.
Q: I know and could see that the Stamina meter does a lot for the gameplay, but is the SDVSRAW2 momentum meter as effective as it was in the old THQ games like No Mercy etc. You know like if I have a really low momentum meter and my opponent has a higher one will it be easier for him to reverse me or harder for me to reverse him? Because I don't see it in the vids
A: Trust me...If you have zero stamina, and your opponent has full. The best thing you can do is stay away from him, by walking not running you will just fall on your face...And try to get far enough away to be able to hit the select button to regain your stamina. You will have a tough time trying to keep up with the CPU if you have no stamina.

- Doug Basham
- Eugene
- Heidenrich
- Mark Jindrak
- Paul London
- Ric Flair
- Rob Conway
- Scotty 2 Hotty
- Snitsky
- Steven Richards
- Sylvain Grenier
