Story Mode:
The game quits if you lose, no sliding down the rankings?
Can you only enter one character into story mode? On Smackdown 2, you could enter as many as you wanted to
You can't choose what league you enter? No European or Intercontinental, just the one league?

I hope I'm missing something here, because otherwise this game blows.
Bigger?
More places to send Fred Durst, err I mean your opponent through?
After playing the game fo a few more hours, i have to admit that it aint as bad as i first thought. BUt i cant see me playing this game past the end of the week. I should have unlocked everything by then. I only really enjoy the single player. I think the multiplayer is dodged up and doesnt "work". the control system for facing a different opponent just aint right.
When my mates come round we play on Wrestlemania or NO mercy on the N64. they may be slower, but they are much more playable.
The only way to get around this is an entrance like tag champions which can be selected in stables. Thing is your tag team will walk down the isle with the belts even when their not the champs which is pretty stupid.
Also, me and my friends tried out matches only to find that belts don't change hands through exhibition matches ! We even went into a TLC match which said "TLC Title Match". Sure enough the belt was hanging above the ring and after a hard fought battle the belt was finally grabbed.......did it change hands ? NOPE !!!!! God thats crap ! So the only way you can win a title is through the "story mode" (term used loosely) and you can't even defend your title against human opponents !
After playing Smackdown:JBI today for about 2 hours+ i have found it quite boring, control system is very poor in my opinion. But maybe in time i may get used to it. I suppose its probably becasue i have the No mercy control system inprinted in my mind.
