When you download different "edit packs" or whatever, are they stand-alone ps2 saves? What I'm basically asking is, can you download multiple packs and merge/import them all onto your save file? So I could download some rings, plus some wrestlers, plus some belts, and have them all on a single save without much work?[/quote]
Im speaking about the Japanese version of the game here, but Im sure all this will apply to the US version as well.
You download entire games saves for the game and put them onto a second memory card, then in-game, you can 'import' individual logos and wrestler edits into your save game. So its entirely possible to create your own unique save game with only the wrestlers that you want.
For example, you can download my save game and just cherry pick one or two wrestlers out of it and put them into your save game.
The JPN version of the game comes with over 300 default wrestlers, and 500 edit slots, so you can have over 800 wrestlers total. You cant delete the default guys, although you can 'retire' them so they wont show up in wrestler select screens. But even still, you have the 500 slots to fill with just the wrestlers you want.
Ive heard people mention they cant believe how good some of the user created edits look. Theres a reason for this. Although American wrestlers are not included in the game due to copyright issues, their edit parts are included. Example: Hulk Hogan is not in the game. But in the edit mode, you will find his bald head, parts to make a costume just like his, his signature taunts and moves. So you can create him yourself. There are hundreds of heads in the edit mode that are designed to look just like the wrestlers you know and love. All you need to do is make them, or let someone else do it and download them.
There is tons of content available already for the Japanese game, but I highly doubt that it will work with the US version. But give the edit makers and fans of the game some time and they will begin to recreate their edits for the US game.
