Create modes "Create modes" have received a complete overhaul from past years' editions. The game introduces the "WWE Story Designer" mode, where the player can now design storylines for WWE's weekly shows and
pay-per-view events with
storylines, scenarios, and
matches of their creations using a variety of preset options. There are over 100 different animations and 25 different locations to design each scene. Subtitles can be written in through a controller or through a USB keyboard. The player can now control how long the storylines goes on, how many WWE Superstars or
Divas are involved, and what takes place in the storylines. The match-making feature allows the player to set a match type, set a stipulation, and set any winning conditions. In addition to using created superstars, the player may also integrate actual WWE superstars and Divas into their created storylines, scenarios, or matches. Created wrestlers are limited in the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions to ten appearances in the mode. A new point system has been implemented where each item is given a point value and the player is able to attach up to 48 points of items. For each created wrestler, the player can create up to three alternate attires for them. The mode also features an additional "Paint Tool" in which players can create their own design that they can use as to use as a logo or a tattoo for their created wrestler. "Create-a-Finisher" has also been reworked, with the mode expanded to include
aerial techniques. The player is also able to adjust the jumping trajectory and speed of the maneuver.
Match gameplay SmackDown vs. Raw 2010 features new additions to match gameplay. A new feature that has been added is the "THQ Training Facility", a tutorial option. The player is able to choose a superstar, their
non-player character opponent (or they may choose to play with another player), the match type, and the game or match settings. During the match, various pop-ups will appear with different instructions on how to perform actions, such as the grapples or maneuvers available to be performed. The game features a revamped
HUD that cuts down the on-screen information. The momentum meter now appears as a small halo underneath each superstar, while HUD icons and information relevant to the match are displayed around the superstar. Another new match type is the
mixed tag team match. However, apart from the mixed tag team match, intergender match-ups are no longer allowed. The mode introduces a Diva-based story involving
Mickie James, and a story specifically for one of the player's created wrestlers. This year's co-operative storyline, titled "Brand Warfare", features
Triple H and
John Cena. The remaining three stories involve
Edge,
Shawn Michaels, and
Randy Orton respectively.
Road to WrestleMania also includes storylines that branch out through interactive cutscenes before and during
WrestleMania 25. The DS version also features a revamped story mode in which the player will participate in various storylines. Along the way, the player has to compete in matches, in addition to being able to improve a created wrestler's statistics, nursing the wounds suffered by the player's wrestler, or visiting WWE Chairman
Mr. McMahon's office. ==Roster==
