[@yamiymikxxo2794]

It wasn't the fact that the 2008 roster was weak, it was the fact that there is three shows on gm mode so you have less of a chance too get a lot of stars, you will have too create new stars

[@TobiRulez1234]

omar proctor compared to smack down live their roster is kinda limited for a show that's 3 hours long. In hindsight if you was them you're basically forced to repeat matches and stuff or it wouldn't make sense or not the right person

[@theratedrlegend5226]

+TobiRulez Raws roster isn't really limited at all, they have 57 talent on their brand including the cruiserweights which trust me are more than enough to accommodate an extra hour. The only reason Raw keeps repeating matches is because they're lazy.

[@TobiRulez1234]

Legend Killer 57? wut? lol

[@jordynmack1032]

If this wins you have to start over and get a better roster

[@daburritohero634]

Hey Chris, here's a tip if you want a better roster. Hire legends as Smackdown superstars (like the rock, stone cold, mick foley...) and trade them for people like John Cena, Edge, Randy Orton, Batista... Thank me later ;). You'll get tons of great superstars on the brand.

You have to remember in the 2007 you had only 2 brands and in 2008 you have 3 so that is going to make the rosters thinner. They have a pretty good roster in this one.

you can activate legends or custom superstars for your GM mode (allowing to get The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin, king booker, etc..) making your talent pool bigger (either start new draft with them or just pick them up from free agency after activation)

[@Rychleji]

also make sure you have all superstars unlocked...!

I think with 2k18 they should bring it back but with a few new things like NXT being a choose or make your own brand to compete with NXT, SDLive, and RAW and still being able to choose RAW or Smackdown of course and they should keep universe mode as it is kinda like a sandbox mode of it
