Smackdown Vs RAW 2010 has a secret…

Posted by admin on October 10, 2009

Smackdown Vs Raw Logo

Smackdown Vs Raw Logo

It has come to my attention, sulking around the forums of the internet, that the new Create a Story mode in the upcoming Smackdown vs Raw 2010 (To be released October 20th, here in the states) is going to limit the use of created wrestlers to a mere 10 events (Matches, Interviews, etc all fall under this catagory)…

This is quite disappointing to me as a fan. I can however, understand it due to the space it would probably take to save a full story (which can otherwise hold 500 events) full of created guys… but I still feel a bit shortchanged, all things considered.
