Reposted on: 31.10.09 0932.33 | Wow. That's all I have to say. I mean, they managed to get a LOT of people in here, considering that Just Bring It had like 32 wrestlers. I loved how they had so many in Smackdown 2, and I still play that game whenever I want to make a pay-per-view or have title matches. Smackdown 3 honestly disappointed me on that. I mean 60% of when I play the games is to make pay-per-views. I can see a few left out, or maybe I just missed some. I can already see my Create-A-Wrestlers now. Jamie Noble, Nidia, Victoria, Crash, Funaki, TAKA, Spice (well I always put her in my games, heh heh.) Seems really good, probably the best lineup yet, and NO Mark Henry!
Edit: On further inspection, Mark Henry IS in it. NOOOOOOOOOO! The pain continues.

Reposted on: 31.10.09 1022.27 | YES, Chavo! I totally overlooked him. Wow, well, another create-a-wrestler. I personally love the controls in the Smackdown games. The first game was what got me into wrestling games. I just HATED those games where it was like left, right, right, up, triangle, square, down, 360 degree turn on control pad to get a freakin' X-Factor! I played one of those once, and my match consisted of punches, kicks, and armbars. Chalk me up in the "I hope the controls are EXACTLY the same" catagory.

Reposted on: 31.10.09 1259.04 | I vehemently agree. The Smackdown controls are easy to understand and work for me better than any other games.
I am disheartened that they couldn't fit Rey Mysterio in the game, but I love how many people are in the game.
Man, the WWE is gonna make a ton of money from me on November 12'th (Smackdown and Anthology)! | El Pescado

Reposted on: 31.10.09 1516.40 | If they took the No Mercy controls, the match options and Create-A-Wrestler from Smackdown and gave you the ability to edit *everything* about the pre-existing wrestlers (appearance, entrance and moveset), you'd have the perfect wrestling game.
But, hey, Goldust is in this game, so there's nothing to complain about here! | drjayphd

Create-a-wrestler, of course.
I have to wonder why the hell Austin and X-Pac are in it, though. I guess I can almost understand Austin, since WWE will get as much mileage out of him and his likeness as possible, but X-Pac?!?! Will his inclusion have ANY effect on the sales? | Zeruel

no, but they own the likeness, might as well exploit it, ala the bret hart music firing up for the anthology CD.
you have to realize that the lineup was probably set a few months ago, so if the coders had already finished x-pac, why exclude him and waste all that effort...besides, people will be clamoring for him for NWA:TNA CAW's anyway.... | dMp

Reposted on: 1.11.09 0428.25 | Usually they make the wrestlers waaay before releasing the game and taking them out (or making new ones) is apparently costly and not possible.
Guys like Noble have been on the roster long enough that I'd think he should be in it, but Rey might be kinda short.
As far why X-Pac and/or Austin aren't out yet..
WWE Raw had K-Kwick in it I think?!

And they managed to get *Randy Orton* into the game, so there's no reason Knoble and/or Rey shouldn't be in there, too. | OlFuzzyBastard

Reposted on: 1.11.09 1120.01 | You know how they always have some pre-made wrestler templates in the Create-A-Wrestler section? It looks like they've found a way to work some of those guys who didn't make the time deadline into the game after all...
EDIT: Well, the pictures don't work anymore, but, if you didn't see them, rest assured they're pretty damn close to the quality of the in-game models.

Reposted on: 2.11.09 2307.25 | I'm heartened to hear that Face/Heel selection is back as a part of the CAW, which leads me to believe that they are (Finally) going to actually do something with that. Though I'll probably be fairly disappointed in that regard.
Still looking forward to picking it up though... | J. Kyle

Reposted on: 4.11.09 1124.47 | | To be fair, it doesn't seem like they really had time to add Rey (no excuse for Noble). Though I've seen screenshots of the "Rey Entrance" and the 6-1-9 (It's a turnbuckle move and it hits the stomach, but it's obvious that is what it's supposed to be), so I'm guessing creating him will pretty much be a snap. | bubblesthechimp
