Creating The Ultimate Wrestling Game

4. A Great Creation Suite

Aew Vs Wwe Game

For over 20 years now, gamers have seen the Creation Suite become a hugely important part of a wrestling game.

Of course, the detail and accuracy offered up to the more creative sorts these days is unprecedented. But even in the days of the first SmackDown game - where you could only use set templates for head, upper body, and lower body pieces - or the vanilla world of WWF War Zone, there was still a buzz about being able to flesh out your roster by taking to the Creation Suite.

Whether you prefer to just d*ck around with the creation tools, or whether you take that stuff extremely seriously and with a strict eye for precise detail, it's a guarantee that anyone who has picked up a wrestling game over the past decade or more will have at least a handful of CAWs downloaded and utilised as part of their roster.

To fully indulge gamers with a truly great Creation Suite, mind, that means that we need to be allowed to upload custom music to go along with our favourite creations - an option that was sadly removed from WWE games a couple of years ago.
