To no one's surprise, WWE returns this year with a 2010 outing. The page was launched quietly this past week. The roster isn't posted yet, but a handful of noteworthy things are:

FEATURES

================================================== ================================================== ================

New info added 9/10/09, courtesy of IGN. Full article here (http://ps3.ign.com/articles/102/1023111p2.html), snippets below:

Create A Superstar is back, and some would say it's better than ever seeing as how parts load in a flash. This time around you're going to be able to have 50 CAS, which includes the guys you've whipped up as well as the ones you've downloaded from the SVR community, and they're each able to have three alternate costumes to their default duds. A nice touch: you can name these alternate attires so you know exactly what you're grabbing off of the character select screen. You can edit your guy or gal's entrance attire, cinematic attire, and ring attire, choose a screen pose, and so much more. Plus, these folks and all their accessories are in 3D this time around, so "shirts" won't just be painted onto their skin anymore.

One of the biggest changes to Create A Superstar for 2010 is the elimination of the layer restriction -- in past games, you could only have so many layers of clothing, paint, and other junk on a guy -- and the addition of a point system. When you're creating your character, you'll have 48 points to work with. Adding certain clothing pieces and items costs you a certain amount of points. If you don't have enough points left for a kickass pair of boots or something, you have to go back and make room in your pool or accept your shoeless hero.

If you're looking for nitty gritty details, the build I have has 76 hairstyles in it including Mr. Perfect and Jake the Snake-looking hairdos, there's a Foley-like flannel, British Bulldog dreads and pants, and so on. When it comes to giving your character a name the announcers can call him, currently, the list is just 35 generic titles such as "The Princess" and "Dynamite." Hopefully, that list will be expanded in the final product. When it comes to assigning your Superstar or Diva an allegiance, you can place him or her with Raw, SmackDown, ECW, WCW, WWE Legends, or the Free Agent pool.

We might as well talk about my jump into the Paint Tool. If you're just joining us, the Paint Tool gives you the chance to sit down with a simple set of commands (there's a pen, circle creator, line tool, eraser, rotate option, paint can, trash and color palette) and put whatever you can think up on the digital canvas. You select the mode, choose one of the 20 slots you have at your fingertips, select if you want the canvas to be 128 x 128 pixels or 265 x 256 pixels, and you're off. Important note for planners: you can't have hi-res and low-res logos on the same character and you can only have two hi-res logos and 10 lo-res images on one dude or dudette.

Create A Finisher is also on this preview disc and allows you to save 30 special moves. Although it has been overhauled visually and loads a hell of a lot quicker -- I mean, you pick a move part and you're seeing it instantaneously -- the big addition here is diving finishers. When you choose to create a new move, you need to pick at the very start if it's a front grapple move or a diving one. The front grapple one's the same system we saw before (start with 36 moves such as Poison Fog and Wrestling Hero Slam Clutch 01 as options and then start branching out into different holds and finishers from there) even though new moves have been added, but a diving finisher starts you on the top turnbuckle.

Your first decision is choosing one of 16 taunts or 53 take off animations such as simple leaps and the beginnings of flips. From there, you have more than 60 dives to begin stringing together that range from sunset flips to Superman poses to flying punches. After that, it's more dives, new descents, and finishing moves. It's sweet, and all the better because you're creating 10-step processes that could never happen in real life. I mean, some of the stuff I have created here has guys just flipping through the air and hanging in the sky for no reason. You can change the speed the guys are moving at as well as what trajectory each part of the move is coming in at so things get crazy quickly. It's insane and one of the few times I've been able to round up my coworkers to have them watch SVR and actually be entertained.

A quick hit before I end this preview, I got the chance to fool with Superstar Threads here as well. This is a pretty simple concept, so I won't beat a dead horse. You pick an existing WWE Superstar and get to save three alternative versions of their attire. You're not redressing them, just taking what they're already wearing and re-coloring it. So, you can only jump in and change the color of Cena's jean shorts, sweatbands, etc. You can't add or subtract these things and you can't add or change any logos the wrestler may or may not have. This is a simple way to keep your roster looking like it does on programming as well as changing Triple H into a pink outfit.

I played one match of the game at SummerSlam Axxess yesterday. I, of course, chose Edge and went against my friend who played as Kofi Kingston. I wasn't familiar with the PlayStation controls, but we messed around for about 5 minutes.

The graphics seem slightly improved, and the most striking change was that there was no HUD. Stamina/energy was displayed in circles underneath our chosen wrestlers. Edge wore his red star t-shirt to the ring. Controls seemed similar to last year's game, though as I said, I'm not familiar with the PS3 versions of previous installments.

Overall, it was pretty fun. One last note- they were handing out cards advertising Stone Cold Steve Austin as a Gamestop exclusive bonus superstar.

EDIT: My friend (not the one who was with me at the show) found a video of me and Jed playing the game. Go to 0:45. I'm on the right in the black shirt.

But from that little preview, sounds like we can do ALOT and make almost anybody. I might just pre order considering this would be the first Wrestling Game I have pre ordered since No Mercy.

I cant wait for this game. The roster will be announced on gamespot wednesday. Ill be getting this game, but i dunno how long ill be into it. With GTA DLC and CODMW2 coming out right after SVR10, it might hit the shelf after a week. But superstar threads sounds great, and the story creator can make this game last a long time.

Story creator sounds like it could provide stupid amounts of fun. Only real problem I have with this is that, once again, you are given SO much stuff to play around with but you'll know in the back of your head that there's another game coming out next October. I wish they could get it through their fucking heads that once a year is too much, but this won't change as long as they keep making money. :-(

I haven't kept up with the WWE, so two questions about that roster you posted. One, is that the full announced roster or can we expect a few more names to be released closer to release? Two, for Christian, is that Christian as in Edge + Christian tag team from the past or is this some new wrestler that shares the same name. I'm assuming the former, but not 100%.

Every game has had unlockables, I do not see why this year would be different. Steve Austin is Free DLC if you pre order from gametop. The Rock if you pre order from some company in the UK. Hulk Hogan also has been rumored to be in the game. Strong rumor that other legends are in the game. There could be DLC as well. THQ is known to hold off on info to suprise people. And yes it is Christian as in Edge/Christian.

I'd guess that's all we're gonna get for now. Maybe when a vid of the roster select screen pops up, we can get some clues to who's unlockable. (I'm hoping for the Hart Dynasty guys and the Burchills myself.)

Two, for Christian, is that Christian as in Edge + Christian tag team from the past or is this some new wrestler that shares the same name. I'm assuming the former, but not 100%.
Indeed the former except now he's ditched the see-thru sleeveless shirts and got himself a hair cut.

Glad to see that legends are being kept in the game... hadn't been following the news lately and I wasn't sure if another "Legends of Wrestlemania" was in the works.

What's the deal with the GameStop "exclusive"? Can you only get Austin if you buy the game from GS? Or can he be unlocked through normal means, and the GS pre-order just gives you a code or something that bypasses the unlock requirements? I hope it's the latter.

I read that the austin code is a one time download code. He isnt unlocked through the game. Rock will be downloaded too but free for everyone after a certain period of time.

I wonder what kind of moderation there will be as far as content trading goes. I'm sure there will be a fine-tuned Austin CAW making the rounds for people who didn't get the GameStop pre-order bonus. And you KNOW there's gonna be a flood of Chris Benoits like five minutes after the game comes out. Will such things be cracked down upon??

Naturally one has to wonder how storylines will be handled as well. I wonder if they'll do something to make sure that only "PG" dialogue can be shared online, or if they'll just throw it all under the "online interactions not rated by the ESRB" banner.

Also to be able to DL other peoples CAW is genius. no more printing out the codes and logics for CAWsI'm watching the developer interview posted on GamingRing.com, and the guy said that there would be no importing this time, unfortunately.

However, it sounds like there are some great new additions. Ground grapples are now specific to either face-up or face-down opponents, and you can manually turn them over (finally!) to set up the move you want. They've also added the SIDE of a downed opponent as a new move category.

Also, you can turn an opponent in the corner, and transition from a strong front grapple into a rear grapple. Also I noticed in the video that Matt posted that you can hold the strike button to do a strong strike. Yeah, it's silly that these games are still playing catchup with No Mercy, but it's still great to see these features in!

Interview with Cory Ledesma. Confirms that the full roster has not been revealed. Unlockables. User created content is going to be "modded" from the community and not by thq. You flag things you deem wrong. The created story, etc is going to be reviewed for certain words before being put online.Ah, thanks for the link! So an automatic word filter will be in place for dialogue, but nothing can keep you from uploading a story. Beyond that, it's up to user moderation. That's a pretty good way to handle it actually.

Highest rated SmackDown on a next-gen system.. highest rated since 2006 (which was a 9.2)!

I'm really excited about the presentation. It flashes the world title belt on the screen before championship matches (http://ps3media.ign.com/ps3/image/article/103/1035299/wwe-smackdown-vs-raw-2010-20091014082356962.jpg, it has the Copyright stuff http://ps3media.ign.com/ps3/image/article/103/1035299/wwe-smackdown-vs-raw-2010-20091014082343400.jpg, blood transfers (if your opponent's chest is bloody, it can transfer during moves and whatnot).. can't wait, finished paying it off today!!

10-17-2009, 04:09 PM

2 major gripes about the game.

1. You can only use your CAW's 10 times total in a CAS. That means 5 matches and 5 scenes or 0 and 10, or 1 and 9.

2. You cannot edit a downloaded CAW. You cannot change moves, entrance or music. Defeats the whole purpose of downloading a CAW. It's funny how you can edit so much of the Actual Roster (colors, movesets, attributes, entrance music, taunts, etc). But CAW editing gets neutered due to a couple of babies who do not want their "copyright" stolen on a CAW. Would it have hurt THQ/Yukes to put in a feature where you can allow someone to edit your CAW or not?

Maybe but create a story should add a ton of replay value that has been missing for years.

Couple of other notes. A ton of tag team moves have been put into the game. But several have been taken out.

Those include Doomsday Device, 3D and Hart Attack.

But several have been taken out.

Those include Doomsday Device, 3D and Hart Attack.
Weird. I wonder why they took out the Doomsday Device when they just re-animated it for Legends of WrestleMania.

I think if we do a league we'll need multiple people to work on creating storylines. I think I'm willing to organize things, but I would definitely need help making weekly plots and such. I also think it would be cool to try and have nights where we would put cards together on the fly. I think it should be a more story driven league and less dependent on records.

CAW Alt Attire Glitch.

This is just a heads up for everybody who plans on CAW. Create the Alt Attires at the start. A glitch has been reported on Gamefaqs.com that if you create a new attire for your CAW you will lose everything except for the current look. That means attributes, rivalry, moveset, etc is all deleted. You can come back and edit the attire later on but you cannot create a new attire.

Haha, Michael Cole looks crazy as hell in this game. It's pretty funny. So far I have just done an Extreme Rules match with Ziggler and Truth. I've also started a Road to Wrestlemania with Orton, but so far I am enjoying SvR2010 quite a bit.

DarkNessBear, I believe the reason for the limit on CAWs in story board is more of a legal issue with WWE than Yuke's just not wanting to put them in more than 10 scenes. A lot of it has to do with the obvious TNA storylines with TNA CAWs that people will end up putting up for DL.

whiptcracker

10-20-2009, 01:52 PM

The story creator is pretty dumb. You have to load between each scene and you can only use a CAW 10 times total (so if you have 2 CAW's in 5 scenes you are not allowed anymore). Also, you can only place 2 different types of Paint Tool data on a CAW (premade doesn't have a limit though). If anyone ever needs CAW tips let me know, I created a pretty amazing Spiderman and Venom char (my QA teams main focus was the Create modes).

The CAW limitation is appearantly because if you download a storyline with created characters, you download the CAWs as well and they wanted to limit the size of the files. That is why there is no such restriction on the PS2 version as they do not have the option to download storylines. This can be worked around by making stories in chapter form with created wrestlers.

First time I buy a Smackdown game on day 1 in a long time. I'm looking forward to see the other creations online.

Yeah seems like they really dropped the ball when it comes to sharing CAWs.

1. People can upload caws and select not to share them. I really dont know why this is an option, isnt this supposed to be for sharing? Not showing off. I dont give a crap how good a caw looks if i cant download it.

2. Like it was said above, downloaded CAWs cant be edited, which sucks if you want to use the correct themes for their entrance.

I will be checking out sites for CAWs more likely than downloading them, thats if im allowed to.

You can't edit a downloaded CAW period. Only the person who originally created the wrestler can edit the CAW. I'm assuming this is to stifle arguments about people stealing each others created guys and making minor improvements or taking credit for it. I'm unsure. The music makes sense as there's no way they'd allow licensed music to me shared from on HDD to another over XBL unless they wanted to face a lawsuit.

I normally turn entrances off after awhile anyway so I'm not personally bothered by this.

I have no idea why people make characters but don't let people download them.

There will still be CAW websites out there for formulas at least.

I didn't realize until last night that this came out today, I was expecting to have Borderlands tonight, but I did a quick read-up on Smackdown and what sold me, of all things, was the fact that the belt logos appear before title matches. I'm very easily amused. I rarely-to-never buy new games, especially sports games that depreciate so ungodly fast, but Smackdown brings a nerd-factor that no other game can, so it's easy for me to justify. I kind of wish they'd stop making them every year and just release DLC.

This game, I'm sure, will be absolutely detrimental to someone like me who works at home. :bomb:

Walmart has it with a $10 gift card. I got mine at Best Buy and it came with a code for $10 off a PPV, which I'm sure I won't be using, unless the Survivor Series card blows my mind in half.

Are you able to put CAWs on a memory unit and copy them to someone else's Xbox? And if so, can those be edited?

As far as putting stuff up on Live goes, are you able to "send" CAWs or stories to a person on your friend list, or do some sort of direct trading? Or is it just a general upload pool? Because I could see myself loading up a story with inside jokes that would only be funny to like three people.

It's a general upload pool but you can filter the search results to only things people on your friends list have uploaded.

Anyone who has this.. sort by highest rated CAWs.. look at "{TNA} Sting", the first one that pops up. Sting in a TNA shirt. This CAW is EPIC.

That is LAME that I didn't know about that. I am disappoint. Do you think they'd still honor it if I went back with my receipt?

I haven't really played it yet, and I didn't dare touch the story editor as long as I have work to do tonight, but my first impressions are overwhelmingly positive. One of the first things I noticed is that the champion introductions seem to have gone from choppy and terrible to downright flawless. Especially Justin Roberts, he really went for it while Lillian completely half-assed it, and I'm amazed nobody ever told her now to pronounce MVP's name properly. I hope they're as good for everybody and not just the preset champions. I love how the bell rings now and the intros don't start until after the pyro, I marked out huge for that. Lillian still stands with her hands behind her back in the ring, so if it shows her while she's announcing the match, it looks like she's talking out of her ass.

There's lots of small improvements like that that make me very nerd-happy. I ripped the cover off the turnbuckle and forgot about it, and later on in the match, JR said "and don't forget, there's an exposed turnbuckle!" I was blown away.

The other thing I noticed is that the wrestlers still randomly appear on the opposite side of the stage when the entrance is on the right. I'm a huge nerd for all the different sets and I'm glad you don't have to unlock them.

The championships look kind of small on the wrestlers, and I always thought it was funny that they have bolts sticking out of the back like the replicas they sell. I love the leveling up in exhibition matches and I love love LOVE that there's only one reversal button and you no longer have to guess what your opponent is going to do.

Okay.. Tazz is at ringside but I guess since he's with tna, they removed all of his lines. I think they did, anyway, because I didn't hear him talk once. I understand why they did this, but it's going to annoy me.

The only DVD that explicitly is excluded is the new Batista one.

My plan is already botched.....They don't have the Summerslam collection at any best buy. The only other one that trades for a decent amount is the Wrestlemania set (37.50) and they don't have that either. However one of the Wrestlemania volumes goes for 16.75....That will cover tax plus about 12 bucks off....Gotta sleep on this one.

My friend did e-mail me about buying it though, and he is somewhat of video game snob and he loves it but did mention a relatively weird amount of bugs. I am very tempting since my friend and I used to do wrestling leagues all the way back to WCW vs The World with a good old fashion pen and paper.

I'm playing the 3rd week of Randy Orton's storyline, and in a match with Batista, there's a point where Legacy comes in to help you.

I REALLY like how they switched from "earning" a finisher to maxing out the momentum (or whatever it's called) meter and allowing you to do finishers for a certain period of time (like No Mercy). This leads to "RKO.. no, counter.. He's setting him up for the pedigree!.. no, back body drop.. Orton with an RKO!" situations. It's really awesome that you don't lose the finisher when someone counters it.

I like all the small changes that have been made. The new HUD system is great. The reversal system is better with one button and smaller timing windows, plus they've appeared to have made a limit for chain grappling so that you aren't just spending forever just reversing and chain grappling. Maybe it's just me but momentum seems to build slower, and the matches I've played have lasted longer. This control/grappling system is my favorite since HCTP.

AI still needs a lot of work though, and the harder difficulties it's still a reversal fest. The ref gets in the way too often. Other odd bugs littered around the game. Nothing game breaking though.

I'd also like to make a correction to my earlier post.. using your finisher once DOES use up your finisher, but if your finisher is countered, it doesn't take it away from you and you can try to set it up again. As far as I can tell, you can't store finishers anymore, either.

Okay, that was awesome. Orton RTWM spoiler.

It comes down to DiBiase vs. Rhodes. Orton is the guest ref. If you help DiBiase, it unlocks Ted DiBiase at the end. If you help Rhodes, you unlock Dusty Rhodes at the end. I tried to attack Rhodes and they both turned on me. That was awesome.

Oh, Bob Orton just showed up.. I guess I'm going to unlock him. That's pretty cool, though. I thought there was only two outcomes to that match.

Actually, that's not it at all.

The WM match is a three-way with Orton/Rhodes/DiBiase. It doesn't matter who you attack in the DiBiase Vs Rhodes match, they both attack you regardless. The decision you make in the triple threat decides who you unlock. (Either Million Dollar Man or Dusty) If you pin/submit Ted, you then have to knockout M.D.M. to unlock him. If you pin/submit Cody, you then have to knockout Dusty to unlock him. Bob Orton is unlocked via one of those optional goals before hand.

It and the Royal Rumble minigame are my biggest gripes with this. Depending on your damage, you'll get a blue area on the bar that you'll need to stop the marker in by holding or tapping the button - it seems to be pretty forgiving, but I really wish there was a way to go back to the old system.

The Royal Rumble minigame is absolutely retarded when you're getting tossed out. I really prefer just tossing them over the rope and using a running dropkick instead of grappling with them.

Yea, I liked it for the like the first 5 people I threw out and then my hands started to cramp and I got bored with it.

The lag on the online play is still a massive issue. It really kills the gameplay with lag and it seems to happen more often then not. So as far as online play goes I am once again incredibly disappointed due to the lag issues, yet again.

I haven't tired this years online,but that is why I quit playing smackdown vs raw 2009 online. Seems like it really screwed up my timing, and besides that most people left during a match anyway.

I've run into a couple of snags with CAW. If I adjust the length of an armband, half of the armband disappears. Like say I move the value from 100 to 75. The armband will be three quarters of the original length, but it's only on one side of the arm. When I move it back to 100, the full armband reappears. Anyone else see this happen?

Also, I want to get a simple red, white, and blue wristband. In previous games I just used three layers of arm sleeves and adjusted the lengths, but I don't know if that's possible in this game. Wristband #14 looks like it would do the trick, but I can't really get any decent color out of it, just some shades of grey. Is there some obvious color adjustment I'm missing for that one? I mean I know I can tweak the shading of it, but it seems like the whole purpose of that clothing item was to be a multicolored striped wristband, so it's kinda odd that I can only get some really muddy color adjustments out of it.

I made a story with the story creator. Its a 3 month story, like the other Road to Wrestlemania stories. Its called "Cryme Tyme RTW".... you can search Cryme Tyme, Tag Team, or Eve. I dunno why i didnt put my username as a search item, oh well. Please download, play, and let me know how you like it. Its for xbox 360.

Yeah 7th Number I'll be giving that a shot! I gotta say, the ability to download stories is an awesome feature that I hadn't even given much thought to before the game came out. I was all on board for writing my own, but I underestimated the fun and longevity that simply DL'ing stuff from others would add to the game. I'm in the middle of a fun one that I downloaded from a dude on the Something Awful forums. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v60/BustaUppa/Comments/12859_159583817809_503952809_276935.jpg

Meanwhile I found some workarounds, tedious but effective, for my CAW issues. Since changing the length of clothing on a single arm seems to be all glitched, I left the piece at 100 length and used the "Logo" tool to cover the upper portion with a couple of flesh-colored rectangles. For the striped wristband, I turned the French flag sideways and lined a bunch of them next to each other until it went all the way around my forearm.

Is there any way to copy a layer in 2010? Because I'm really dreading making a second wristband for my alternate attire!

I had the weirdest thing happen today. I was playing a friend online in a player match (Punk vs. Hardy HIAC if it matters) and, after we got to a certain point in the match, what we saw on our screens was like it was from 2 different matches. What he was doing was not showing up on my screen, and vice versa. After I "won" the match, getting the 3 count with Punk, it said on his screen that I had dropped and he was left to play against the CPU.

I uploaded a new story called "Legacy - Episode 1", search Legacy, Santino, The 7th Number. For xbox 360.

Man the censors on story creator are really ridiculous. I have to fix the words Surprise, Cody, Watch me, Diabetes, Sexy, an end. Its really annoying since they dont point out which word is bad, and when you have a sentence that you would find in a 3rd graders color book, its hard to see where the bad words are. According to gamingring, the censors are from sony/MS and not THQ/Yukes. But still it makes submitting a story annoying. It wouldnt be so bad if you could fix the words offline, but you cant, and if you screw up its going up on the servers anyway!

To me, SvR10 is a step backwards from 09 gameplay-wise. There are many little things that are so annoying.

However, '10 has a lot of new gameplay modes and others.

I will be adding SvR10 stuff to my YouTube page (see sig). I'm working on several tutorial videos at the moment.

One of the biggest things i hate is the auto target system. I dont know what happened, because last years game had a really good auto target system. This years just seems broken sometimes. Like when you try to attack a manager outside the ring, or the non legal tag team partner on the apron. Usually my wrestler wont even look at them, even if the legal man is 20 feet away and i run and attack the non legal man. Ill end up turning and trying to hit the legal man. :bomb:

But otherwise i think its a fun game to play. I like the 1 reversal button over 2 buttons from last year. Rumble is a lot more awesome, but maybe too easy? I never tried it on legend or hard difficulty yet.

I missed the last couple of games so I never got a proper introduction to these "struggle submissions." When I'm in one, am I supposed to follow that prompt and slowly move the stick from left to right? Or is it like those ladder matches where I gotta move the stick until I find that rumble spot? When I'm the one doing the move is there any trick to it... I guess you're supposed to find a good time to release it so it doesn't get countered?

Oh and what about the ladder matches... are you still supposed to find the rumble zone to make the case drain faster, or is it a constant speed? As usual the manual leaves out a bunch of little details.

10-30-2009, 11:45 AM

I spin the joystick around while in struggle submissions quickly, and I find that works for me.

Ladder matches you have to hold the joystick up. Depending on position it's either both, or just the left or right one.

I made a tutorial on how to escape struggle submissions back in SvR08.

It is the same for 09 and 10.

Very detailed, very accurate. It shows exactly how to escape them. There are 2 ways. This video has been helping players for 3 years now.

LOL, is the lock icon gone in '10?

I've never noticed. I always kind of assumed it was there. I really don't need it though, after mastering the escape technique. You don't need it, really. You're totally fine if it's not there.

Here's my first tutorial video for SvR10:

This may be common knowledge, but I finally realized that throwing people out of the Rumble does nothing for your momentum. If you want to gain a finisher you will have to do plenty of "normal" (i.e. not Rumble-specific, meaning quick grapples probably don't count either) moves.

Also, 7th Number, I was reading the censorship thread on GamingRing (don't have an account there yet) and I think I figured out your issue. In the phrase "put an end to your stable," the offending term is probably "puta."

Nice! Speaking of stats, what was that glitch that we should be looking out for? Editing a CAW's appearance will erase your stats or something like that? Or was it your moveset that would get reset? or am I just getting my info mixed up?

When you create a wrestler, create their alternate attires at the start before setting up rivalries, entrances, and leveling them up. If you come back and create a new alternate attire it deletes everything. You can always come back and edit the attire after the fact.

And hot DAMN... I'm loving the game as a whole, but I'm blown away by how utterly bullshit the CAW Road To Wrestlemania is. Wow. Guess I'm gonna just turn the difficulty way down and cheese my way through it. It's like they consciously TRIED to make it a pain in the ass.

Not mentioned in the link above, they (THQFightGroup) have since uploaded on the 360 a Sheamus CAS and a Miz storyline. I think the PS3 has Zack Ryder, Doink, Tyson K, and David HS CASs.

Dumb question, but can the roster of WWE : Legends of Wrestlemania be imported to SVR 2010? I just picked up WWE:LOW and was looking to get SVR 2009, since the SVR2009 roster can be imported to Legends. If the price is right and the Legends roster can be imported, I'd rather get SVR2010. If not, then I'll settle for 2009 for now.

It's alive!

Picked this game up not long ago. I love the fact that you can download CAWs. There are some really talented people that can work some freaking magic. Got some sick variations of classic wrestlers along with a spot-on Hart Dynasty, Sheamus, Zack Ryder and mid-90s heel HBK.

I've heard the online is atrociously lagged, but I haven't given a shit about wrestling online since 2007-2008. 99 OVR CAWs ruled supreme and people glitched like a mofo whenever I played, so I just gave up on that years ago. At least we get something good out of it -- downloadable CAWs! haha
