I be asking myself the same thing but it may be because of the Wrestlers not there anymore but they can still do contracts with them like the NBA does with its old players as well
I wish we could have a preset. Or even like in NBA 2K/ Madden, where you can legit customize and save a roster save so you don't have to redo everything
I tried matching with the real ones that played out that year. There was always a RAW bias in the 2000s which is crazy to see because of the star power that Smackdown always had
@Mutable Cloud110 I am more of a fan of the attitude era. Its a perfect sized roster and you can still use wrestlers that came to WWE in 2001/2003 . RVD, Booker T, NWO and Eddie Guerrero for example
I am playing this game on PC as well. I have this problem when I download something in game as created wrestler or title, the next time I open the game I need to start all over the showcase, the universe mode and everything. " Data problem occurred ". Even if I try to create a wrestler it happens again. How can I fix this and play with downloaded characters?
Assuming you play through Steam, could it be that you're starting the game before the cloud data connects with the server? Sometimes when I run the game, my cloud data needs to connect and takes a few minutes
Back in the Attitude Era when Smackdown started, everyone on Raw was on Smackdown. I tried to mimic that. What I ended up doing was putting "98" on Raw and "2001" on smackdown. That way I could play with the same wrestlers with different attires. So Ministry Taker on Raw and ABA Taker on Smackdown
