ALTHOUGH WITHOUT A DOUBT THAT WWE SMACKDOWN VS RAW 2011 IS THE GREATEST WWE WRESTLING GAME EVER, HERE COMES THE PAIN IS STILL, AT LEAST IN MY OPINION, THE SECOND BEST WWE GAME OR AT LEAST THE BEST NOW CLASSIC GAME. THE GAMEPLAY, SEASON MODE, FEATURES, AND BREAKDANCE/WORKOUT MUSIC PLAYED IN THE BACKGROUND ARE UNDENIABLY ADDICTIVE. HOWEVER, SINCE THIS GAME IS OLD, IT BARELY HAS ANY OF TODAY'S MODERN DAY POST BRAND SPLIT ERA SUPERSTARS(EXCEPT JOHN CENA, BATISTA, RANDY ORTON, SHELTON BENJAMIN, AND CHARLIE HAAS). SO WHAT I DID(AND WHAT I ADVISE TO DO IF YOU LIKE TODAY'S SUPERSTARS) IS I CREATED ALMOST EVERY SINGLE MODERN DAY "H.D. P-G" ERA WWE SUPERSTARS. SUPERSTARS SUCH AS MVP, CM PUNK, THE MIZ, JOHN MORRISON, TED DIBIASE JR, CODY RHODES, JTG, SHEAMUS, VLADIMIR KHOSLOV, DANIEL BRYAN, WADE BARRET, HEATH SLATER, JUSTIN GABRIEL, DAVID OTUNGA,ALEX RILEY, SANTINO MARELLA, KOFI KINGSTON, EVAN BOURNE, ETC. IT KEEPS THAT MODERN PARENTAL GUIDANCE HIGH DEFINITION WWE FEELING WHILE PLAYING A HARDCORE CLASSIC. CURRENT DAY SUPERSTARS MOVE SETS AND FINISHERS ARE IN THIS GAME AS WELL(SUCH AS THE OVERDRIVE/PLAYMAKER, THE STARSHIP PAIN, CM PUNK'S GO TO SLEEP, SHEAMUS'S CLOVER FINISHER AKA "THE RAZORS EDGE", ETC). ALSO, YOU CAN UPGRADE AVAILABLE SUPERSTARS IN THE GAME. I GAVE CENA THE STF IN ADDICTION TO THE F-U, THE FLYING FAME-ASSER, AND SGT. SLAUGHTER'S SALUTE TAUNT. RANDY ORTON'S TAUNTS(TWO OF THE ACTUALLY BEING KURT ANGLE AND HARDCORE HOLLY'S HAND RAISING TAUNTS AND EDGE'S SNEAKY CRAWLING TAUNT), AS WELL AS THE SHINING WIZZARD FINISHER(WHICH IS CLOSE TO RANDY'S PUNT). ANYWAYS, I JUST THOUGHT THAT I WOULD GIVE Y'ALL SOME IDEAS FOR YOUR CLASSIC GAMING EXPERIENCE, AND ESPECIALLY IN HERE COMES THE PAIN. POST YOUR THOUGHTS ASAP !!!!!!!

Woah man take a chill pill, this ain't the greatest wrestling game as you point out, Here Comes The Pain is by far MILES better than SvR 11.

Here comes the Pain is the best of the original SmackDown game series and SvR 11 is up there to be ONE OF THE best games of the SvR series, BUT NOT the greatest.

I do agree, here comes the pain is the greatest. That is the one game I can't stop playin', but I had to show some respect for the current game. The reason I posted on this board is because nobody responds to posts or even makes any on the WWE SD HCTP Board anymore. But anyways, what do you think of how I created CAWS of just about every single WWE Star from today ? I created everybody from the "Sheamus/Miz" Generation A.K.A "PG HD Era". Whenever I play Here Comes The Pain, I still get nostalgia of High School during the 2003-2004 "Goldberg Era", while getting the modern day "PG WWE" feel. YOU HAVE TO SEE MY CAWS !! ESPECIALLY MY SHEAMUS CAW. I've got just about all of them down to a tee. I do admit that some of my CAWS ain't as accurate. My Tyson Kidd CAW sucks the most. If I could post a video of my "WWE SMACKDOWN HERE COMES THE PAIN PG MODERN DAY EDITION", then I will do that. Anyways, keep playin' those games.

I have played every WWE/WWF game since 'WWF Attitude' and I have to agree this is BY FAR the best wrestling game ever, yes there are other games such as HCTP that have stuff which I wish I could do in SvR 2011 like season mode of paticular types of matches though lets be serious every time THQ bring out a new WWE game they get better every year.

And by the way please dont type in caps it is very hard to read.

Smackdown Vs. Raw 2011 has nice ideas, but most of them aren't fully realized, and others just fail.

The series has been showing it's age for the last three years. This feels like...you know how they re-release old games and give them the HD upgrade? That's what these games feel like.

They need to start from scratch. Entirely new engine. Nothing from last-gen. They need to drastically improve the awful AI. I watched a match in-game, CPU vs. CPU, and I was amazed at how idiotic the gameplay was. Majority of the match was Irish Whips and reversals. They spent a lot of time randomly walking out at ringside. A lot of times, they would irish whip, and never follow up with an "irish whip rebound", instead they'd just taunt or stand there. Whenever someone was irish whipped into the corner, they walk over, and turn them around (back facing you), and then turn them around again (facing you), only to stand there....or taunt. If you have a finisher or signature move that is able to be applied as an "irish whip rebound", it seems that that's the only way the AI will execute it. If your superstar has the ability to perform Springboard attacks, the AI will make your superstar try to execute these attacks at the most absurd moments, and they usually do it two times in a row. Same for Top Rope attacks. They make you go up twice.

WWE Universe mode was a great idea, but it wasn't executed properly. If you're the WWE Champ or the World Champ, you should not be competing for the IC/US titles. After I won the title (which I basically had to give to my superstar because I never had matches other than random tag matches with R-Truth or John Morrison at all times, or I was forced to accompany William Regal to ringside), I was basically facing the superstars in contention for the US title and started climbing the ranks (which is something I found funny because this never happened when I was going after the WWE title). Then the way they make teams form...these random guys get put in tag matches and if they win, they're automatically a team? I went ahead and skipped the entire year just to see how the roster would progress, and the "Teams" roster was filled with awful teams, Triple H & Goldust, Undertaker & Yoshi Tatsu, John Cena & Finlay....and any team that I created was done away with. Just wiped out. Replaced by these..."teams".

Okay, I'm starting to rant...anyway, what I was trying to say was, this game is nowhere near being "the best" or "the best in a long time".
