Smackdown! 7 suggestions

We have been fans of your games for years and each year we have been disappointed in atleast one aspect of the games. So, we the fans of the Smackdown! Series from the neoseeker forums have come up with some ideas which are posted below;

The Titles
SD!
WWE, US, Tag Team, Cruiser

RAW
World, IC, Tag Team, Womens

Plus, for the legends introduce Legendary titles

European, Hardcore, 80s IC Title, Smoking Skull, Old WWF

and you can make current WWE superstars legendary by getting them noticed and raise their stats and then they qualify for these belts

Also there should be two sets of belts Season Mode and 'Exhibition & CAPPV belts'
The 'Exhibition & CAPPV belts' will include current belts and CAB Mode belts with an actual holder of the belts.

The Season
First, there should be two seasons Legend and Normal. On Normal the superstars should start off a storyline depending n their alignment (Face or Heel) and popularity (Lowercard, Lower-Midcard, Midcard, Upper-Midcard, Uppercard and Diva for the divas) and then show (Raw or Smackdown) eg. if you chose Scotty 2 Hotty (A lowercard Superstar) and you chose him to be heel and to be on SD! then he would be on Velocity and do a series of heel storylines on Velocity and through every week of the show it would be easy for Scotty to change his alignment because of the decisions he would make however, if a Uppercard superstar like Batista was chosen then it would be harder for him to change his alignment because of him being higher on the card and it would be stupid for him to change his alignment everyweek. Also, if a diva was chosen it would be gimmick diva contests, intergender tag matches and bra & pantie matches mainly on smackdown but, wrestling matches mainly and climbing to the top of the diva ranks and become the womens champ on Raw. The legends Season would be started in the legends lockerroom with Vince and Vince telling them they were all going to be given a 2 year contract with the WWE on two new shows named RAW is WAR in the old RAW is WAR arena stage set-up and the same with a show called Smackdown! with the old stage and they would air instead of the current RAW and SD! for two years. Then, you will choose your superstar with the same choices as the normal season. EG. You chose Bret Hart to be a heel and you were set in the Hart Foundation Stable, Vince may say 'Bret your up against Animal and Hawk with a partner of your choice from the team' OR 'Bret your up against Hulk Hogan' (these are just examples). Divas in the legends mode would be Valets until 4 divas from the normal mode qualified to be lengends and a womens title would be created (same with cruiserweights, when 4 qualify to be legends a lightheavy weight title will be created).

The Matches
The matches should be the same as what have been in all the previous smackdowns including more diva gimmick matches (but for season mode only), Buried Alive, Inferno etc. and we should have 5 on 5 matches

Create-A-???? Modes
Create-A-Superstar - Should contain more detail and clothes etc. for the superstars including names of superstars not in game on the profile section

Create-A-Move Set - Should contain more original entrances for superstars not appearing in game and actual musics and videos for all superstars, divas and legends.

Create-A-PPV - You should be able to set-up interviews and call-outs when creating the ppv.

Create-A-Belt - You should be able to go into more detail with the belts and actually have someone holding the belt and should be able to have more than just a one-on-one match. Also, we should be able to make tag belts.

Create-A-Stable I liked in this game the only problem is that they should have past tag team musics and vids and more entrances.

Online
I think that online should stay but have more playable matches.

Create An Entrance:
--Kind of like Day of Reckoning but better

I'd like to see CAW's with voices.. Like you can select a superstar's voice for when in season and stuff... Say you make Jeff Hardy, you give him Matt's voice etc...

Anyway they should make Rivalries better, make some of them last for a long time even a whole season depending on your actions. I want more freedom in the game, so when you're in a storyline you can have lots of choices to change directions your going in.

They also should put back the Tag belts, Tag is one of the matches I enjoy and other enjoy and a WWE game with no Tag belts is not the same.

Better CAWs are a must, as many said the clothes should look real and not as if they were painted on them, also they should fix this thing with the belts, the belts look like they're hovering around the CAWs.

Modifying Titles, so we can modify the titles like John Cena did with the US Championship Belt. But when we lose it the title goes back to it's normal shape. Talking about titles I'd also like to be able to defend them in Exibition along with my Created titles without having to have two memory cards. So the titles can change every now and then, but that does not mean that they will affect the Season mode titles.

Online mode imrpoved, they should try and improve it and that's pretty much all I ask. Oh and 56K compatiblility for people like me

A New Match won't hurt as long as it's good, or they can jsut return an old match, preferably a casket match. Or make a Buried Alive match.

Create An entrance, that would be great especially if you can edit the lights and how the camera is fixed oh and the actions you do. So everything in it would be your doing.

Fight behind the barricades, return that option, it'll be much better, well not really but just adds more space and then can allow you to bust throw barricades like Big Show did to JBL.

More Backstages, they should add more variety than just one place.

Realistic Submissions, I was thinking, how about if they make submissions just like the ones we see on TV? So then your submissions depends on how well can you hang on to the opponent. So if you're put in a submission, you have to button bash your way out of it, and out of the tapping out area. So when you reach espace or near escape(about 3cms near it?) for 3 seconds you'll quickly counter it and if you press O and L2 you can reverse it. Won't that be just better?

Realism! I'd like to see some shattered pieces of tables you broke just like the pieces you see when you throw an opnnent onto an announce table. And blood should come from anywhere and start dripping and if you slam the person and the injured part of him hits the ground you should be able to see some stains. And, if you managed to KO your opponent, EMTs should be seen running to the ring to take him away. Same thing should happen if you had to hit your opponent with a Chair in a DQ match with a body part of the opponent red. Oh yeah when you get DQed in a match in season you shouldn't be the one lying on the ground hurting, the opponent should be that person.

Better Rewards
- self explanitory

Create a Move
- Create you own move and set the damage

Create an Arena
- That would be the ultimate.

Multi-player season mode and General Manager Season Mode

We don't expect you to use all these ideas but, we hope you take some of these into consideration when planning and making Smackdown! 7.

Thank You
