Introduction =============================================================================== Hello, I wrote this FAQ a year ago after this game released. Ok, this FAQ will cover anything in General Manager Mode. They may be superstars, storyline writers and so on. =============================================================================== [How]2. How to access General Manager Mode =============================================================================== Firstly, connect all attachments of the PS2 to their corressponding extension. Press the blue button to open on where you will place your game. Then place the SmackDown! vs RAW 2007 CD in there. Then close it and turn on the game by pressing the green button. Wait for about 1 minute then press start. Skip the THQ thing by pressing START button. So you do not need to wait for about 1 minute until you see a mini-clip of either SmackDown! or RAW. When something like this appears "Press Start Button", press it then quickly highlight Game Modes. Press X Scroll for General Manager Mode then press X again. Choose "New" if it is your first General Manager Mode game. Choose "Continue" if you have a saved game from this mode. I will explain the rest later. =============================================================================== [Version]3. Version History =============================================================================== Version 1.0 - March 31 2008 = Submitted the FAQ. Version 1.1 - April 3 2008 = Added some new sections.

Parts of General Manager Mode =============================================================================== First of all, these parts that I am talking about is the options when you either load or start a new General Manager Mode. Second, I will explain their functions as we step further. A. Schedule - this is where you will set-up matches week by week. This is also where you can see your previous weeks that are done. For your first week, you should make it a bit interesting. Put up specialty matches like TLC, Table, Ladder and so on. Check back regularly to see if your matches should be arranged. B. E-Mail - This is where emails are stored when somebody e-mails you. People who are e-mailing you are as follows: 1. Vince McMahon - He is just reminding you of what to expect at the next PPV. Mostly, PPVs that are Joint PPVs. If we say Joint PPVs, it means that both brands will be on the same PPV. Having your brand's superstar defeat the rival brand's superstar is crucial to get the GM of the Year award at the end of the year. 2. Brand's Commentator - E-mails that you received from one of your brand's commentators are very useful advices. They help you obtain the GM of the Year Award in an easier way, useful way or in an advantageous way. Whatever brand you pick, you will end up with the specified commentator as follows: SmackDown! - Michael Cole RAW - Jim Ross 3. Your own Superstars - They only e-mail you for certain reasons like losing matches every week ( -6 losing streak ), contract expiry or title shot demands (a month overdue for a title shot). 4. Rival Brand's GM - Haven't you noticed that your rival GM only e-mails you when you proposed a trade between the both of you? What you get from him is the response to your proposal. Whether he accepts your proposal or rejects it, it also appears on your e-mail. C. Rosters - Here is where you are in charged of your brand's roster. This section has everything it has to do with the roster including viewing your brand's roster, current champions and managing rivalries. 1. View Roster - You can look at your current superstars along with their morale, popularity, fatigue, contract remaining and injury (only applies if the superstar or diva has an injury) 2. Current Champions - View your brand's champions. To change the current champion with a new champion, there are 4 ways : � Trade them to your rival GM, With the champion on the rival gm, you can now appoint one in your roster who DOES NOT yet hold a title. � Put their title on the line. Let any of the contenders win the match and the title is theirs along with their victory. � If your superstar is injured for 6 weeks and above, you will be given an option to either vacate the title and appoint a new champion or simply don't. � The champion himself (or herself) transferred to the opposite brand because of his/her morale. The common reason why they most likely transfer is that they had a bad losing streak on the show. This happens when the he/she loses for more than 6 matches. It appears as negative integers like -6, -7, -8 on the "Matches Loss". 3. Rivalries - Here is where you can organize and set-up rivalries. In order for you to know how rivalries can be formed, consult the [All]All Roster section. Find the Notice. Then formed one rivalry. I would recommend setting up rivalries that have high popularity with a 5-star storyline. For example : Bobby Lashley - C ( 76 ) Booker T - D ( 75 ) Chris Benoit - C ( 75 ) Ken Kennedy - D ( 74 ) The letter next to the superstar is their match tactic. While the numbers inside the parenthesis are their current popularity. If you square off Bobby Lashley and Booker T in a 5-star storyline rivalry, ( e.g Undisputed Champion and so on )you will get good ratings or match ratings per week. * Do remember that you get good match ratings every week when the popularity of each superstar involved in the rivalry doesn't have a big gap. Let's say your rivalry with Bobby Lashley and Booker T was 20 weeks. Bobby Lashley has a current popularity of 88 while Booker T has a popularity of 70. The outcome of the match ratings would'nt be satisfying as the big gap of popularity of both superstars interfere with the match ratings. 4. Propose Trade - Go here if you wanna trade with the opposing GM. If you did not yet unlock Cost and Trade under Options that will be later explained, then your rival GM will be picky. Trading him your superstar whose popularity is at least 1 point higher than your rival GM, the rival GM will take your superstar irregardless if its a CLEAN or DIRTY superstar. You have up to 3 slots when proposing a trade to your rival GM. 5. Free Agency - This is a list of superstars, divas or legends that are not either signed by both brands (RAW or SmackDown!). If you have at least 19 superstars, you can sign one more to complete 20 superstars for each brand. If you are thinking of signing a legend, think before you do so. If you have the money, sign the legend a 3-month contract with your show. Oh yeah, you should know what match tactic they have. The game does not show the match tactic of the superstar you are signing. 6. Storyline Writers - This is where you get your storyline that can be used in rivalries. You have a free of 6 storylines that you can use. Read each description, on how to form the rivalry and what kind of superstars will be involved in that rivalry. 7. Customize Attributes - This is an interesting part. You can edit the current attributes of the superstars that are in both brands and superstars in the Free Agency list. 8. Edit Available Roster - This edits the roster that will affect the Free Agency List. If you turn them on, they will appear the next week after you turn them on. If you turn them off, they will quickly disappear from the Free Agency List. So think wisely. D. Reports - You can view useful information here like fan supports etc. I will explain them. =============================================================================== [CL]6. Clean Superstars' Specialty =============================================================================== Clean = These are superstars who are "good" wrestlers and they never cheat while wrestling. To perform a CLEAN move, you must first have at least 1 finisher stored and a finisher that is flashing then press L1+L2 at the same time when your opponent is stunned by a strike. Please note that you must be in the correct finishing move situation in order for this to work. =============================================================================== [DI]7. Dirty Superstars' Specialty =============================================================================== Dirty = There are superstars who are bad wrestlers as they try to cheat to win the match. To perform a DIRTY move, you must first have at least 1 finisher stored and a finisher that is flashing then press L1+L2 at the same time when your opponent is stunned by a strike. Your DIRTY superstar will use a special dirty move. Here is a list of DIRTY moves your superstar performs when his or her match tactic for the match is DIRTY only : A. Your DIRTY superstar will poke your opponent then he/she will do a Double Arm DDT similar to Mick Foley's Double Arm DDT finisher. B. Your DIRTY superstar will back off and will kneel then do the super low blow on the targeted superstar. C. Your DIRTY superstar will back off but this time, he or she will kick the targeted superstar to the groin. =============================================================================== [Contact]8.
