		<description>Hey Marcus, i hope with your presence in the company a sign of change for SvR is eminent. If you have the time i have some ideas for this years installment, that is of course if you don&#039;t mind skimming through.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ideas For Exhibition Matches &lt;br&gt;Superstars can appear ringside at the announce table and call commentary for almost all match type offering their input and expertise on wrestling or cut a promo. They can leave and return to the announce table at their own volition. The superstar ringside can interact with the wrestlers if their nearby the announce table causing a distractions or trash talk the superstars. Their involvement in the wrestler’s match is strictly unbiased meaning he can be ringside not as a manager but as a very interested spectator serving his own purpose. The Superstar have several prerecorded responses to each question asked by the commentators.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ideas For SvR 2011 Ladder Match:&lt;br&gt;The Ladder Match has been a constant favorite of mine in the SvR game series and I had some small suggestions as far as ladder finishers and ladder tipping. First off is control of your superstars as far as climbing the ladder; in previous installments we were forced to wait until our superstar reached the ladder’s peak before we can regain control. Ladder sizes small and large would really elevate the excitement of this gimmick match. For the most part ladder finishers have been the most fun and exciting to use to swing the tide of the match into the players favor. In this SvR game I think the ability to interact with opponents on a ladder parallel to your position. You should be able to punch, kick, push the ladder over sending the superstars flying to the outside and perform finishers such as the RKO, Twist of Fate, Side Effect, Green Bay Plunge, Book End (or King End), etc. In the event of the ladder being tipped over the superstar(s) on that ladder can leap over to a nearby ladder parallel to their position.  An interesting feature that I thought  would make a good addition to this game would be the ability to prop the ladder up on the ring apron and the outside barricade allowing any individual to do whatever comes into their maniacal little minds. I mentioned being able to send your opponent off of the ladder to the ringside I’m thinking maybe the superstars can get hung or tangled up  in the ropes on top of falling directly outside the ring. The last addition to this thought  is adding more ladder finishers to this match allowing the gamers to choose which finisher the superstar can use.    &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Idea for SvR 2011 Money In The Bank Match: **Updated**&lt;br&gt;In addition to this franchises already impressive in game features i wanted to offer ideas to the company and help build the reality factor of this video game. To perform a proper M.I.T.B. (Money In The Bank) cash in a superstar must compete in and win a traditional M.I.T.B. match. At the conclusion of the match a player must head to the superstar management options at the main menu, locate the superstar in possession of the M.I.T.B. briefcase and reveal the page pertaining to that superstars stats and abilities. There you&#039;ll notice a section called money in the bank which is mark by a silhouette of a briefcase. By selecting that you will reveal a M.I.T.B. inquiry which documents the time and date you obtain the briefcase and any additional information that can be added in. In that section you will be asked to select a championship you wish to pursue and your options are as shown; WWE, World, WCW, &quot;none&quot;, or random which the system will choose a champion for you. None is an option if you feel that decision can&#039;t be reach or you want to wait. If you have made a decision and for example have chosen the “wwe title” then you&#039;ll be prompted to save and returned to the roster page of superstar management. To trigger the M.I.T.B. briefcase the title you selected must be defended in a match. The current champion doesn&#039;t have to retain and there are no specifics to the match type the title is defended in. Once the title match concludes regardless of who&#039;s in possession of the belt Mr. Money In The Bank&#039;s theme music hits and he sprints towards the ring and shoves the briefcase into the hands of the referee which subsequently leads to the announcer declaring this a WWE title match. Before the referee rings the bell the character select screen is displayed allowing the players to decide if they want to play as the champ or the challenger. Amongst the individuals playing the video game only two are allowed to compete in the following match. Once a selection has been made the match is then started with the current champion in the same condition he won his last match in and Mr. money in the bank with a full momentum meter. While the superstar is in possession of the briefcase he has the option to decorate and/or customizing your briefcase to fit your personality or the personality of the superstar in possession of the briefcase. As for the superstar with the briefcase a special entrance for certain individuals, such as CM Punk and Edge, will add additional style. If a superstar is in possession of the M.I.T.B. briefcase then the M.I.T.B. match cannot be played again unless the carrier is participating in the match defending his case. The carrier of said case will be allowed to defend his briefcase against any opposition that challenges him in any match type he wishes to do battle in (One on One, Elimination Chamber, Hell In A Cell, TLC, Etc.).</description>

		<description>Great interview Marcus. I hope you can help get Smackdown vs Raw 2011 headed in the right direction. I would love to get back into playing WWE games. In my opinion, THQ hasn&#039;t had a good WWE game since Smackdown vs Raw &#039;06. After the &#039;06 version, they changed the controls which had been the same since the original WWF Smackdown for the original Playstation. The easier the controls, the more casual gamers you may get to play it. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Also, the road to Wrestlemania has been messed with too much to the point where it loses it&#039;s flavor very fast. It is by far too limited on who a player can use. Why shouldn&#039;t a player be allowed to use Chavo Guerrero or Jimmy Wang Yang if they want to? WWE legends could fall into this as well. I know there are plenty of fans/players out there that would love to be able to have The Rock vs John Cena at Wrestlemania.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Well, I&#039;ll step down off my soapbox and leave it to you and the rest of the crew at THQ. Thanks for listening to my rant.</description>

		<description>Well I sure hope that you can fix this game for online. The past years the game was fun online and took alot of strategy because you had to guess if they were going to punch or grapple you. If you had a guy that used fist of fury all the time in last years game you just had to tap the strike block. But now you have noobs taking over the online gaming experience. Where they do not even try power lockups all they do are running grapples and quick grapples. Also they changed all the original superstars abilities which i think takes the fun out of the game. Come on Rey mysterio with Kip up. I sure hope you can fix the online gaming so that these noobs dont take it over next year like they did this year.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Some matches I would like to see added to online gameplay also&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Elimination Chamber&lt;br&gt;Survivor Series Tag Match&lt;br&gt;Championship Shuffle&lt;br&gt;And if possible a 30 man Royal Rumble &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;That would be great to see online.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I use to play SVR online all the time untill svr 2010 came out becuase of the reversal system is hard becuase of the lag but I do like the reversal system.plus just all the cheap players have taken over the online gaming of SVR this year.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thanks hope you can improve the game.</description>

<p>Some matches I would like to see added to online gameplay also</p>
<p>Elimination Chamber<br />Survivor Series Tag Match<br />Championship Shuffle<br />And if possible a 30 man Royal Rumble </p>
<p>That would be great to see online.</p>
<p>I use to play SVR online all the time untill svr 2010 came out becuase of the reversal system is hard becuase of the lag but I do like the reversal system.plus just all the cheap players have taken over the online gaming of SVR this year.</p>
<p>Thanks hope you can improve the game.</p>

		<description>Wow, this could be exactly what the SvR series needs.  Someone who will actually LISTEN to the true WWE fans.  I have bought every Smackdown game on the release date (excluding Just Bring It...I didn&#039;t have a PS2 yet), and I see the glaring flaws every single year.  Don&#039;t get me wrong...the series has improved in many different ways, but they&#039;ve also taken several steps back since the PS2 days.  Please Marcus, if you&#039;re reading this, tell the developers to fix the basics (i.e. the various gameplay glitches, the old choppy animations, etc)} before adding new modes, features, etc.  SvR began feeling stale around 2007, especially for veterans like myself.  The series needs a major facelift.</description>
