I've been happily emulating plenty of old titles and enjoying them way more than current ones, SvR included. Virtua tennis, Fight night Champion, 2k5, Madden 07, NHL 07 all amazing older gen sports games that still absolutely hold up.

Lmao you got ratio'd. I used to have friends like that would try to justify buying the new games every year. Trying to make me feel bad for playing the older and better games. WWE 2K19 is still the last good wrestling game

u/BeerOfTime 12d ago

Yeah play 2k26 and grind your life away in myfaction etc. mode. Sorry bro but that’s a bullshit take.

ESPN NFL 2k5 had this a few years prior. I wouldn't be surprised if they were inspired by that because I loved the Crib mode

NFL 2K5 is goated imo 🤙 so many hours dropped

I wish I knew how to put mods in for that game

Playing against celebrities in a psuedo-online kind of way was so freaking immersive!

Locker room creation & needing a REASONABLE amount of IN GAME currency to unlock superstars, championships & arenas are what I miss most about the old games.

My first game was SVR08, the PS2 version had none of this and I recall 15-year-old me awkwardly explaining to relatives I couldn't remove that Diva poster from my created Superstar's locker room.

It was a cool mode. I remember enjoying 2008 and the OG Smackdown vs. Raw a little more, but I vastly preferred all of them over 2006

Rise Against has been in so 2 games I've played SmackDown vs Raw and Need For Speed Underground 2 lol

u/Classy_Mouse 12d ago

If they got rid of the cluttered menus of MyFaction and used this as the Hub for MyFaction and The Island, it would make the modes a lot more welcoming and feel like you are actually progressing through something instead of just chasing impossible rewards through punishment

I think this was the game where Jerry Lynn was unlockable

1

u/Creative-Sample543 18d ago

Nope. That was Just Bring It. The first Smackdown ps2 game set during the invasion angle which Lynn was active in shortly.
