This is the first game in the series to include the comments of Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler for RAW. This is the first game in the series to have the Brand Extension with WWE SmackDown by Vince McMahon and Raw by Ric Flair. The player 'works' only for the show that drafted him. If the chosen superstar has been created, then the player starts at Sunday Night Heat. The season mode features a lot of angles with Hulk Hogan's nWo, Kevin Nash and X-Pac who replaced Scott Hall. The championships can only be defended in season mode, such as Undisputed, Intercontinental, European, Tag Team, Cruiserweight, Intercontinental and Hardcore. The Smackdown! arena is that of Madison Square Garden, although Jim Ross announces a different city at the beginning of each event, the exterior remains the same. The game exposes many arenas that have been exposed during the shows dating from 2001 and 2002. There is also an arena based on each WWE show.
