Wow so it's that bad huh? And to think in the retarded recesses of my mind I was still entertaining thoughts of buying it...I'll just get a frisbee instead.

It's still better than, like, the last 3-4 SVR games, but that really isn't saying all that much. Though after playing the abortion that is Dead Rising, SVR11 is actually so good, it's semen inducing.
Why am I doomed to forever purchase such shitty fuckin' games?
EDIT: And just an update, I'm still being told the servers aren't available. If you buy the game preowned, you actually have to pay for online access. Good lawd THQ are truly the work of Satan.

Well, I could actually view the created content today, but when I tried downloading I was timed out by the server again. So that’s progress I guess rofl.
Universe mode is turning out to be a fun little feature. Was having a Ziggler/Declan match, just to get Dec up the rankings. As we were fighting, Ziggler just randomly jumped to the outside and punched Cara in the face (who was there as a manager). So the match ended in DQ and next week I set up a mixed tag match as a chance for revenge… Dec and Cara vs. Ziggler and McCool. Ziggler is getting the shit kicked outta him and goes to tag in McCool, but she leaves the arena as he tries to do so, leaving him utterly screwed. So then it’s a handicap match and Cara ended up getting the pin on Ziggler. Meanwhile McCool shot right to the top of Ziggler’s enemies list rofl.
And WTF? Since when is Big Show’s finisher a PUNCH?!
20/10/2010 The day open mindedness returned to UGWC. Lest we forget.

he's had that for a while, after the match with Floyd 'money' Mayweather if memory serves correct.
The price looks right on the game ($50), so I might get it since the universe mode sounds like quite an interesting thing (serious 'lol' at Ziggler v Dec xP)

Nah, it’s not that good, Severino lol. Ziggler got DQ’d only because he hit a girl. Normally you cann attack managers without consequence. I actually hate that about the women… I want the days of HCTP when the divas could go in any match, just like the guys.
And then McCool leaving was just random. I don’t think it’s something you can choose to do. That made it even funnier, that the game was just pwning Ziggler by chance.
So, I’ve put together a crew of Orton, Show and Masters that are just going around dominating everyone. Show and Masters will be going for the tag titles, while Orton plans on anally assaulting Rey to take the World Title. So Morrison and R-Truth (who are a tag team that come preset in the game) were fighting Show and Masters. I had been thinking to myself ‘Morrison as face? That reeks of fail’. And then, during the match as if the game read my mind, Morrison lays out R-Truth and heads backstage, turning himself heel lmao. So now it’s two-on-one and I’m like ‘sweet, got this match in the bag’. But then CM Punk comes out, who is enemies with Show and Masters (and Punk interferes in SO many matches! He’s as annoying in the game as he is in real life). So I’m thinking ‘fuck, he’s gonna break up every pin attempt I do until the ref boots his ass’. But I was not to fear, as about 8 seconds after Punk appeared, Orton came rushing out behind him and beat the fuck outta him rofl. So then I made R-Truth submit to the Masterlock, as Orton was just kicking Punk’s face into nothing. Was a true dominant victory. So good, haha.
EDIT: Oh man, the main event of the night was Orton vs. Mysterio and Big Show returned the favour, attacking Rey as he was heading to the ring. This rocks.

The Universe mode is kinda engrossing, but you need to fill in most of the blanks yourself. It's not a bad thing, but I don't think anyone would have complained if they had spent some time on some text based storylines that could generically pop up for those occasions and keep the experience going a bit more. Basically unless you get jumped backstage nothing happens outside the confines of a match in the WWE Universe.
One cool moment I ahd though was when Travis was World Champ, he was tagged with Vance Archer, I have no idea who he btw. Anyway he had an IC title shot, which I took control of, and when he won Travis entered the ring to celebrate in the ring with him, and the commentary said something about them being friends and both now holding gold.
But like P says, interesting stuff does happen, and it does get ya kinda hooked. I've downloaded a few real good CAWS and inserted them into the game, which is spicing things up, especially given I don't know who 50% of the roster are.
I think it's a lot of fun, just wish their was a bit more meat on it's bones.

HCTP was definatly the last great or even good game, awesome storyline mode, the ladies could go in any match, good roster...just needs the women to be able to win any title gets boring having Gabby munch through the divas.
And Morrisons fail at everything besides being a breakdancing robot.

I thought SVR06 was also awesome. I’d say that was the last great Smackdown game. That being said, it still wasn’t as good as HCTP. I played through that season mode so many times and still didn’t discover all the different angles.
Just had another cool thing happen. Had MVP vs. Sheamus on Raw. Jericho appears at the start of the match, sitting in the front row to watch the match, as he’s an enemy of MVP. After I whoop Sheamus, Vance Archer comes out onto the rampway. But that’s all he did, just stand there and then I was taken back to the main menu… so I booked the next match as MVP vs. Archer in an extreme rules match just to see what would happen. No entrances or nothing, the match just starts with Archer beating down MVP. Awesome touch. I’m playing as MVP and I make my comeback and then Jericho interferes, who I had totally forgotten about. I beat Jericho up and sent him crying to the backstage area and then defeated Archer after a suplex through a burning table, an elbow drop from a ladder and a Playmaker onto what was left of the table.
Seriously love Universe mode.
And CM Punk is a worthless piece of Jensen turd. Fuck that guy and his homeless man beard.
Sounds awesome...though why are you playing as MVP he sucks testicles just not Vinnie Macs which is why he doesnt get pushed. Sounds like they've added all these cool little touches but still ignored the storyline mode which is the biggest gaping hole in the last 3-4 games.
CM Punk is God #2 only JBL is better than him, you're just jealous of his manly beard.

Well, at least you're not praising Raven as the pinnacle of humanity. And JBL does have a nice willy. Just ask Test's corpse.
I've always been an MVP fan. As soon as he came in and beat that jobber, I knew he had uber potential. Wasted, sure, but it's there.
And yeah, I agree with you on the story mode. I wish they'd introduce a a text based season mode, like HCTP had. They could call it 'Non-Shithouse Road To Wrestlemania' or something. though hopefully they'll combine that sort of thing with Universe mode to make it truly epic next year.
Man, Rey Mysterio is a bitch! I was fighting him as Dec and (surprise, surprise) Ziggler came out to intefere. Well, I immediately dived to the outside and began beating the fuck out of him. Meanwhile, Mysterio (who's a face) went outside and started beating up Cara! And since the ref had his back turned by watching myself and Zig, the little bastard didn't get DQ'd or anything. So I quickly sent Zig weeping like Osirus, to the back area and went after Rey. Threw him into an exposed turnbuckle until his back was blood red, knocked the ref out and beat Rey with a chair, punched, kicked and slammed his face until he was bleeding and then defeated him with his own 619. Now the little fuck is on both Dec and Cara's enemy lists rofl.
Might start working on my McSkinny CAW soon and let Bret Hart spend the next 6 months jobbing to him.
