@@TCTrapCat could be that or they didn't want the championship coming across as a toy. It was gimmicked for Thuganomics Cena as a custom belt originally.
It looked cheap but also the logo would always end up upside down on the belt. Not a good look for your brand you want to keep. Probably made the right call to have the logo locked upright.@@TCTrapCat
I recently sat down and emulated all of these classic games since I've never played them, dang I really missed out. These games are absolute fire, My personal favorite is SVR '06 but I can't deny that SVR '07 is pretty fire as well.
You can't ignore rope breaks in 2k24, automatic rope break in 2k24 is only for the one locked in the move. Who ever is applying the move has to left go of the rope when rope break is called you can't be disqualified for not breaking it.
I think most of us can agree, game companies used to produce games with pride and care about quality and creativity, now they just care about money and leave the quality and creativity out
To be fair, SvR really was leaning into trying to make playing on Raw branded or SmackDown branded arenas feel unique, meanwhile now the games are just celebrations of the WWE as a whole.
no lol THQ alone was a dumpster fire, that's why their company went down the drain. Yukes alone was also the former. Together? Meh, some good games every once in a while.
@@thechosenonedrewmcintyre THQ was definitely a SHIT company to work for, but every now and then they produced some bangers. I’ve heard some stories from former employees about how bad that company was lmaooo

It’s crazy the things you could do in some of those games and can’t do now, really wish they would have a season mode where you can play as your favorite wrestler and not a caw
SvR07 was one of the best games i grew up playing on the psp. The story lines, plus so much more made you want to keep playing the game. I have it on PC & it runs smooth on the emulator!😆
Exactly why I still play all the old wrestling games till this day, I brought 2k24 this year but it’ll be my last 2k game I purchased. The older games are just a lot more fun than the new ones.
They had commentary on the places the arena is At?! They need to bring that back. I know a friend they'll be real happy to hear Micheal cole say good things abiut Atlanta
smackdown vs raw 2006 spinning belt is better... it spins following the motion of the character..more realistic... i dont know if it is called in-game physics.. lol
Personally I don't miss intergender matches. I never really played them. Also the wrestlers not moving on the matchup screen makes sense, WWE stopped doing that. I don't miss Buried Alive match, Casket pretty much fills that spot for me. Not using wrestlers in MyRise is fine with me, but I do wish the superstar variant of Universe mode was more fleshed out. And the spinner belt stopped spinning over a decade ago.
I wondered if these newer games could actually do half the things I remember were possible back in the day. And I'm not surprised that they can't. They focused on graphics. But hair of triple h still looks laughable. Still looks cartoony. And the gameplay is worse on top of it. Pretty much across the board. On the other hand you could literally just upscale svr, improve lighting a bit, and voilà. Plus these newer games are like 150gigs, while the old ones are like 4 gigs max. All svr games combined don't make even near 150gb. So it's more practical on basically every level. If you want to have fun, the choice is clear. Not only were the og games fun, and packed with content. They also didn't constantly try to sell you some crap. Modern games not are only lacking everything, they're charging for things that you used to get by default back then. And even if you buy it all, you still don't have the same depth that you used to back then. It really is wild how gaming industry turned to dookie.
brother, i agree with you on every other point except your 3rd one. my guy... PS2 was made 24 years ago, Most of them weren't even in HD. Current games take so much space due to hundreds of reasons, PS2s weren't even functionally close to TWENTY gigabytes, let alone more. But yeah.
@@thechosenonedrewmcintyre Thats the point. Yukes WWE games don´t want to make realistic Wrestling Games..and that was more fun that that "realistic" Trash that now 2k makes!
@@roxxs easily. WWE Games by 2K are wannabe knockoff fighting games. They fail miserably at the Wrestling aspect, and fighting game aspect. Boring games 2K makes.
The whole cool factor of the spinner belt was that it could spin. If you can't do that then change the title look, it's just not worth pretending to be cool when it can't do the thing that makes it cool.
Wwe 2k really needs to ditch the whole copy and paste and PG crap and step up instead of just throwing in patches and just have the same stuff every year at least yukes and thq wwe games were badass and just too good to play even in 2024 wwe 2k will never beat the good old SVR games that's for sure
These old games were on crack, they were so ahead of their time that it doesn't make any sense. The amount of features, attention to detail and interactive stuff they added completely towers any other 2k game. And don't even get me started on here comes the pain.
2K24 even doesn't have a motion that wrestlers grab the rope! Are they serious? Also, in 2007, the weight of wrestlers mattered so Rey Mysterio couldn't 't lift the Big Show, which made the game more realistic.
2k24 is a fighting game, not a wrestling game lol. I will stand by this until they readd promos, weight detection, more animations and chain wrestling back.
Absolute #1 thing SVR 07 did better then ANY other wwe game to the best of my knowledge, was the unlimited tables glitch, I’d set up tables for hours just to smash my opponent though them all then end the match
The belt is listed as '05-'13, also rock spun the belt before it got vacated. I think it should spin or there should be 2 variations. to be fair, it doesn't say WWE SPINNER Championship, but it's just such a letdown.
@@thechosenonedrewmcintyre I think when Cena and edge had it it did spin I think it stopped spinning maybe when Miz won't the belt I'm really not sure. But I know for a fact it did stop spinning the one the rock had might've been a different version that was brought back especially for that segment
@@dannyrivera8300 it spun with edge, and i’m 16 right now so i don’t recall exactly when because i wasn’t.. really old enough yet. But i’m pretty sure after Randy won in 2008, it stopped spinning mostly, then for sure when Miz had it it never spun after. Miz cashed in on Randy so it was for sure 2008-2009.
@@thechosenonedrewmcintyre I'm 33 but around that time I wasn't really watching wrestling .. just recently came back because of the whole bloodline angle
I've play SD here comes the pain before I know SVR. It's indeed SVR have better graphic, much more. But, I'd prefer the game motion speed in here comes the pain instead.
It wasn't a spinner belt after 2008. Also, what do you mean "NOW A DAYS" brother? 2005 John Cena WWE Championship hasn't spun in any games since SVR 2008.
Also something that always had bothered me, the ring is so small right ? IRL it seems so big, in 2k when it comes to 5 men match it’s so messy bc everybody steps on each other
Well in regards to the last one didn’t they actually stop the real title from being able to spin at some point? Like it always kept the W in the upright position, but would be cool if it allowed the game to still be able to spin definitely something I did a lot on the ps2
