Pretty much. 2010 is an improvement over 08 and 09 which were both shit, but this series will never return to it's former glory. The smackdown series needs a new developer.

I agree 100%. The wrestling game genre need a reboot in the worst way. Whats sad is that its not that hard to do

You guys are overdoing it a bit. SVR2010 is by far the best playing of the Smackdown games in history. Tons of moves, the animations are great, and there are more positions than ever before. Can it be improved? Yeah, what can't, but HCTP does not have better gameplay than this game. The CAW is also much better than HCTP. The wrestlers look really good now, have custom entrances, custom finishers, custom designs, custom music, alternate attires, etc. The roster is your own opinion, but the season mode is lackluster.

but the season mode is lackluster

And that right there is why HCTP is the best in the series. You can play the game dozens of times and still not see everything.

I don't agree. A solid engine, and better CAW options trumps the best season mode IMO, which SVR2010 has over HCTP. Was HCTP a high point in the series, hell yes, but people need to stop treating that game as the be all end all of the Smackdown series. They do tons of those "little things" better in SVR2010 than in HCTP in terms of gameplay in a match.

Reasons why HCTP is the bes

1) Roster
2) None of that joy stick shit
3) Season
4) Wrestlers felt more "authentic" ex Undertaker sit up, Kane no sells punches, Hogans Hulk up etc.
5) Best moves in the CAW
6) Best backstage

We put the PS3 and 360 versions of Smackdown 2010 side by side and here are the results : http://www.jv247.com/games/3288-NEWS2009-Comparaison-PS3-360-Smackdown-vs-Raw-2010.html (don't forget to select "Haute Définition", that's HD, in the menu).

Wish the DX entrance didnt have so much HHH and HBK. The 2007 version was great as you could use it for your caw's and have it integrate perfectly.

does anyone know a hardcore CAW site dedicated to posting formulas or uploading CAWs? Folks that are serious w/WCW, WWF, ECW, and Japanese wrestlers w/their movesets.

http://www.caws.ws is the place I go to see great CAWs. There are some perfect ones there.

Wasn't there supposed to be DLC for this game in January?

There is...kinda. They put Stone Cold Steve Austin on Xbox Marketplace and PSN so the people who didn't pre-order can buy him for $1.

so i bought a used copy of SvR09 for the wii. and its better then i thought it would be.
I always was curious of the motion control aspect and it works quite well

its still no day of reckoning or no mercy but its really a fun way to play imo
