Anyone play Smackdown 2 story mode???
Having a Master League like that would smash all competiton of football games out of the water, we should have user-interactive cut-scenes.
And why in the name of Britney spears isn't a multi-player master league available?
Let's face it right now, Master leagues are monotomous, games like COD and Metal gear solid are loved because of the story, but it'd have to be smarter than that, every game has to be different, every story has to be different.
Impossible, I think not.
I support Chelsea and in which time, we've had
2 successive Player-managers appointed in Vialli and Gullit,
we've had John Terry facing Jail time,
Mutu and Bosnich drug storms,
almost going into administration, and needing to win the final game against Liverpool to qualify for the UCL
Ranieri Sacking - Tinkerman label
Roman Abramovich Takeover,
Mourinho's controversial actions,
Gallas' constant sniping and wanting to go to Milan,
Controversial Refereeing decisions,
Did the Luis Garcia's goal cross the line?
Sven Goren Eriksson transfer saga,
Arnesen transfer saga,
Ashley Cole transfer saga,
Obi Mikel Transfer saga,
Evra and Ground staff brawl at Stamford bridge
Barcelona going through on a wack referee.
Gael Kakuta transfer Saga, transfer ban
That's obviously not everything as well, but that's just Chelsea
When we think about what goes on in Football, with Match-Fixing in Serie A
Bankruptcy etc.. Master league should be more than just what happens on the pitch.
How would they do this? Simple as I mentioned before, cut scenes.
The way it worked on Smackdown 2, is that some cut scenes, you could press the start button and skip, but some were to important to the story for you to go past.
Managers would have to come into the game, and when you pick a team you are now actively the manager.
The key is not to have too many cut scenes but every now and again, and you go on story curves, so you'd have cut scenes for multiple curves.
Meaning every single game will be different, you'll also have one-off cut scenes that are situational rather than a story curve.
Imagine if during a match when rooney is taking a corner, somebody throws a missile that hits him on the head, then it goes to a cut scene where Rooney picks up the corner flag and then throws it into the crowd.
There are press conferences afterwards, you have to defend or chastise the player..
Imagine a storyline like Adriano's where you have a player that doesn't turn up for training, and goes AWOL.
The Chelsea owner leaves Chelsea, and all of a sudden, there's press conferences asking you who you are going to sell, and you have to do it or go into administration and get relegated.
A controversial refereeing decision..
You put a player on your scout list, and then it goes to a cut scene where you are at a restaurant, do you go and tap-up the player.
Maybe you do, you sign him, and everything is going okay, and then Bang
Transfer storm...
Everything is going good and then all of a sudden your star player, who has been on red for the last 10 games, has been on red because of Drugs.
All incidents that happen in football....
Players reacting badly to the crowd...... Diouf, Drogba, Cantona, Beckham
Drug bans .... Mutu, Bosnich, Rio, Davids
Refereeing decisions
Zidane Headbutts,
Transfer embargo's tapping up.
Alcholoism
If Smackdown 2 can achieve that equivalent for WWF almost a decade ago, then, they should be able to do it today...
What do you think?
