That's IT! ************************************ 1.04 SOME GUYS I WOULD LIKE TO THANK ************************************ Myself, for writing this FAQ My Mom, For Buying Me My Computer and granting acces to the internet. Yuke's, For creating this GREAT GAME! WWE, For The Great Wrestling, Rey Mysterio, Randy Orton, and John Cena. Supercheats, for tempting me to make this FAQ. And The Voices In My head, because without it, who am I? ************************************ ALRIGHT, THE FAQ ALREADY! ************************************ Well here it is . Hope you enjoyed reading it more than i writing it (which is ain't that good, really) ************************************ 2.01 INTRO ************************************ General Manager Mode is a new entry of game modes in WWE Smackdown! vs RAW game franchise. And for a new mode, it isn't half bad at all! Rather than being the guys breaking the back, it's the guy telling guys to break their backs! You will be competing against the other brand, so if you are Theodore Long you will be competing against Eric Bischoff, or vice versa. The brand that got the most fans will be awarded the shiny General Manager of the Year Award, presented by The Mr. No Chance In Hell Vincent McMahon himself! As all things, money is involved. You will be given money to plan matches, make promos, etc. To increase your amount of bucks, you have to organise a large fan base for more tickets, and use ad promos. If you have a PPV, use it wisely as it is handy as hell. PPVs are discussed below. Have fun raeding! ************************************ 2.02 HOW TO PLAY ************************************ From Starting Menu, Select Game Modes and then select General Manager Mode. Then Select New or Continue. But i believe if you're reading this just continue from the start. There, that was easy was it, no? ************************************ 2.03 ROSTERS ************************************ These are the database you will be handling your players with. The more popular your wrestlers are, the better your chances are to get higher match ratings, and ultimately the more chance you will get for your hands to touch that GM of the year award. Keep in mind though if you have more popular wrestlers, the more money you will have to pay. But if you do put superstars into their right matches, there will be higher profit. It's like a game of risk/rewards, really. 2.03.01-Draft Roster This kind of selecting roster is based by your own desire. Select your brand first, Smackdown or Raw. But Raw has a little advantage that will be discussed in the wwe roster section below. By The way, the draft. You have alternating choices. If you have the first choice, choose Taker or HHH. If you have the second choice, choose the guy that's not chosen betwen them. Simple enough, huh? For your second choice, choose Angle or Cena, a guy who could compete with Taker or Trips. The rest is your choice, really. About contracts, give the 1st pick 6-12 monthers. The 2nd-5th pick 3 months or 6 months, and the rest is yours. I seldomly use drafting anyway. 2.03.02-WWE Roster Alright, Smackdown fans beware, that it's extremely hard to win the GM of the Year Award this way. Smackdown is the B show, and you really have to make good use of your PPVs.RAW have the advantage because: 1.They have divas, that is better use than cruisers. 2.They have the first PPV (Backlash) 3.They have the Elimination Chamber Match, that was the only match i scored 5 full stars. 4.They simply have better superstars. So you will know, here is the roster breakdown sorted by their popularity __________________________________________________ Superstar Popularity Show __________________________________________________ 1. Undertaker 87 Smackdown 2. Triple H 83 RAW 3. Batista 83 Smackdown 4. John Cena 81 RAW 5. Kurt Angle 77 RAW 6. Randy Orton 77 Smackdown 7. Shawn Michaels 76 RAW 8. Eddie Guerrero 72 Smackdown 9. Rey Mysterio 72 Smackdown 10.Chris Benoit 70 Smackdown 11.JBL 68 Smackdown 12.Trish Stratus 68 RAW 13.Big Show 66 RAW 14.Kane 65 RAW 15.Stacy Keibler 64 Smackdown 16.Chris Jericho 63 RAW 17.Edge 62 RAW 18.Booker T 61 Smackdown 19.Eugene 60 RAW 20.Ric Flair 59 RAW 21.Rob Van Dam 58 RAW 22.Torrie Wilson 58 RAW 23.Christian 57 Smackdown 24.Muhammad Hassan 55 Smackdown 25.Shelton Benjamin 54 RAW 26.Carlito 53 RAW 27.Lita 53 RAW 28.Paul London 51 SmackDown 29.Orlando Jordan 50 SmackDown 30.Khosrow Daivari 49 SmackDown 31.Rene Dupree 49 RAW 32.Chavo Guerrero 47 RAW 33.William Regal 43 SmackDown 34.Doug Basham 41 SmackDown 35.Danny Basham 40 RAW 36.Heidenreich 39 SmackDown 37.Chris Masters 38 RAW 38.Sylvainn Grenier 37 SmackDown 39.Scotty 2 Hotty 33 SmackDown 40.Steven Richards 29 SmackDown As you can see it looks like it's evenly balanced, but Smackdown has their bigger share of sour strawberries. Plus, RAW's lamest superstar Chris Masters has an Overall of 82, which would certainly worth making a rivalry against Flair, Shelton, or even RVD. So if i do know something about RAW's dominance, is that even their lamest can actually wrestle unlike Steven Richards, Scotty 2 Hotty, and others. So i suggest you select RAW if you want to select default roster. Now, that's things that's the symbol of a rich culture of WWE. The belts. You will be asked to assign the belts to someone. Instead giving the main belt to Trips or Taker, give it to someone like Angle or Cena, or even Mysterio. This will push their popularity up, considerably. Then, rivalry them to the big guns. This will make 2 superstars go up. Then bla-bla-bla, you know the drill. ************************************ 2.04 SCHEDULING ************************************ Well, it's like setting your lineup in real sports. But here's some catches: It's not a sport,but your stars will fatigue. But anyway, to the topic. You should start the first week with some singles matches, why? To build rivalries which, of course, will be discussed below. Anyway, singles match isn't only matches which is bogus. It's matches with a pre-game mini-game enabled. Hardcore singles are also available.For the second week onwards, keep the rivalries intact until it's stale (thumbs down). Consistent scheduling will make you a great GM and make you worthy of a GM of The Year. ************************************ 2.05 PPV's ************************************ These are matches you should worry about! PPV's are a great way to steal a huge fan base from the o- ther show. When i have that 5 star rating at NYR, i steal 900000 fans from SmackDown. Of course SmackDown didn't use a buried alive match at Survivor Series, so all hail me! Anyway, if your rivalry is involving a title, cashing it in on a ppv can cause the match improving to 4 stars or so.So ppv's are a way to "cashing in" on rivalries. ************************************ 2.06 MENUS BREAKDOWN ************************************ I have no idea why i should put it here, but it does adds kb's. Schedule Well, where you organise schedule and view your ratings of your edition. You can go back if you are ma- king matches, but if you are done doing that the desicions are locked and there's no way back. E-Mail Here's a tricky menu. If you do not check you e-mail, you maybe missing warnings like superstar's con- tracts, but if you check out rosters often, you won't actually need this section. Now that's what i call confusing. Rosters Here you can view anything roster related. You can even manage your created superstars attributes (how on earth did that get there). If you select a wrestler, you will also be able to negotiate their contracts,release the damn guy, see where they live, and so on so on so on. The Rivalry menu will tell you which superstars are currently in a rivalry, and the rating of the rival- ry. Good rivalries are thumbs up, bogus ones are thumbs down. The Propose Trade menu is, well, for you to purpose trades to the other show, simple really. But again the other show wouldn't accept if the trade doesn't profit them, so maybe that menu needs to be fixed. Free Agency is where you can sign superstars who werent drafted originally or were recently let go, by you or the other team.. From here you can also turn Legends and CAWs available or not.Press Start and you'll see a list of the available characters, you can toggle anyone except wrestlers who isn't released yet (surprise surprise), but the changes wont take effect until the next week. Reports Here you can see the results of your matches, fan support andratings. Selecting J.R.'s or Tazz's Reports will give some tutorials on GM mode. But do you really need it? You can just print this, you know! Financials Shows your financial statements of last week. Pretty bogus except if you're trying to learn accounting, of course. But if you're not, i's damn bogus. News This is where you can see the ticker that shows match ratings,fan changes, current fan base, and some news from SmackDown (left) RAW (right) and the news of the day (middle) ************************************ 2.07 BUNCH O'SPECIALS ************************************ 2.07.01-Match Types Some matches can only be played in certain PPV's. So if you're in these PPV's, make sure you got good use of these match types. Elimination Chamber ------> New Year's Revolution Buried Alive ------> Survivor Series Fulfill Your Fantasy ------> SummerSlam RAW got the Elimination Chamber which is somewhat better than Buried Alive. 2.07.02-Wrestlers Some wrestlers can give match higher ratings, but it have to be their way of course. These are it: Benoit, Masters, Angle, Flair, Benjamin Submission Christian, Edge, RVD TLC Eddie Guerrero, Cena Parking Lot Brawl Edge, Christian Ladder Mankind, RVD, SCSA, Tajiri, HHH Hardcore Mankind, HBK, HHH, Taker HIAC Mankind, SCSA Backstage Kane, Taker Buried Alive JBL Bar Room Brawl HBK Iron Man Stacy Keibler Fulfill Your Fantasy The Rock Handicap ************************************ 2.08 RIVALRIES ************************************ Well this IS the thing that spoils me to know that wrestling is fixed. But without it wrestling's stale, any- way, to make rivalries just set up a singles match between the superstars you want. Or get a Start a Rivalry Promo that will be discussed below on the Promos thread. By the way, the rivalry game is a kind of a win-win treaty or some sort. If match ratings of rivalry is good, the rivalry rating will go up which can make match rating goes up as well. Confused? Well me too, actually.But the point is, you should involve titles in rivalries to make a rivalry better. And, of course make match types the superstar's specialty like above.BUT, you should try to also put minor superstars in rivalries so it will push their popularity, because even if superstars who involved in a rivalry loses, its popularity will still rise. Making right desicions in rivalries will result in a better rivalry, and decreases a rivalry's chance to go stale. "Go stale?"you say? Well, yes, nothing can go forever. If a rivalry is deemed now boring, the match types which is not variative, it will go stale and instead it will be a negative reaction to the popularity and match ratings. An exciting rivalry will also go stale, but it will last a tad bit longer (maybe 7-10 weeks). A boring rivalry (with no titles, etc) will last shorter (3-5 weeks) Keep in mind longer rivalries=good rivalries. ************************************ 2.09 PROMOS ************************************ You can select promos to increase money, match rating, or steal fan base the heel way. You can select two from 11 promos on one card, but you can select two of the same promos on one card also. Here's your choices: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Promotion | Cost/Profit | Effect | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- New Superstar -$50 000 This one is only available if you have purchased a superstar or benefiting a de- fecting superstar. This will boost their popularity considerably, considering the money it costs. Rivalry (In -$2000 This builds the hype for a rivalry currently going, so you can select a different Place Of A match. This Promo WILL NOT increase rivalry rating though. Match) Start a Rivalry $0 Instead of putting superstars in a match together, use this to begin one. Inactive Su- -$2000 If a Superstar isnt put in matches or promos their popularity will start to fall, perstar so if they do, use this promo will help maintain their popularity. Injury Return -$50 000 If a superstar is injured and hasnt been given an Inactive promo, their popularity Promo will suffer. Use this promo to bring the popularity to what it use to be. Advertising +$150 000 Using this promo will guarantee you $150 000 the following week. Good if you're in Promo a hole. Merchandise +$????? This promo will earn you money, but if you just begin to use it, the profits will be Sponsorship low, repeatedly using this the cash would flow more. Main Event -$50 000 This promo hypes up the main event, so the match will receive higher ratings, good for a Hype main event where it doesn't involve titles/rivalries. PPV Hype -$10 000 Builds hype for an upcoming PPV, using this more and more will increase the rating of the darn PPV Interference -$50 000 You'll send a superstar to the other show to screw up the other show, to make that show Promotion suffer. Slander -$50 000 You'll spread rumors over the air about the other show, but use it more than once a Promotion month it will backfire. *********************************** 2.10 FURTHER TIPS *********************************** 2.10.01 RAW Alright, now if you're handling RAW, you have the advantage even before JR and King starts talking (look above), now here's some tips to extend that advantage. *Put all titles and rivalries on the line at your first PPV (backlash) Backlash actually steals most fans, after NYR. *Let Trish and Torrie battle it out for the divas title. If it goes stale, put the champ vs Lita, and then continue with Trish and Torrie. Lita should just be Edge's manager. *Make full use of the Elimination Chamber. Put your best 6 stars out there. And also make sure titles are also contes- ted there, and also rivalries are contested there. 2.10.02 SmackDown Well you have to make up ground for your lack of Superstars poularities. Here's some tips to make you gain some ground. *Get Kane before Survivor Series, feud him with Taker who have the World Heavyweight Championship. The Buried Alive match Kane vs Taker which is feuding for the belt may just be your best match of the year. *Use Interferences and Slanders once a month. SmackDown has better chances of stealing fans than RAW. *DO NOT PUT REY MYSTERIO A WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!. That's a must, i don't care how big a fan of Rey are you, you must not put him a champion. Just make him an undisputed Cruiser Champion. *********************************** Well, You Should Skip This *********************************** *********************************** 3.01 FAQs! *********************************** How do i put legends and CAW's in my brand? Go to free agency, press start then select wrestlers on/off. There, next question. What does wrestlers hometown do any good for? Match ratings. If your show is on The carribean, make sure carlito wins. That "advantage" works like hell in PPVs also. Can you play this mode with 2 players? Yes, you still can win the award also. It's cheating actually. How do you put a title on the line? Make a match with the current champion(s), and add in the opponent(s). Then after done, press right until you get the desired championship. My PS2 shut down when i'm saving! Tough luck. *********************************** 3.02 Copyrights (AGain) *********************************** This is created by me Maulanna Maryunani aka grafartist.
