In 24/7 Mode, there will be injuries that can affect how much damage the player’s Superstar has already sustained prior going into a match. This adds a new strategy as players must now take into account the physical toll that that WWE Superstars place on their bodies by merely stepping into the ring.
Thats 24/7 mode
If the player elects to play as a General Manager, injuries will play a more significant role as Superstars can end up on the shelf for weeks at a time, providing players with a true simulation experience."
GM Mode.
That article is about how injuries will play a role in the two different modes

Well I don't know about it that much as I said before so we'll have to find out when the game's released.
I already posted this, so pay attention, its in a interview i posted... IGN is better than w/e site you go to

wait, from what i hear, your superstar can be GM in the 24/7...it makes sense to me. i always said that the only thing HCTP lacked is to become a GM in the season mode.
I don't know myself how they are doing it but i know you have to do both, i don't know if you become gm after you become a legend but I know the season is multiple years long and you have sub-marks to meet, like winning the title, rumble, king of the ring, but main goal is becoming a legend.
I think when you start you get t choose to do both gm and season, or just one or the other.

What I would like is in 24/7 mode if you are a caw, you increase your skills in the first few seasons but you start to drop a bit as you get older, a bit like football (soccer) games. thoughts?
^^^ never liked it, as wrestlers get older in real life it doesnt matter half the time they are still as good as most. If getting old started to hurt my guy i would make him retire when he is at his best, i think it would be ok if you start to lose your matches and loss your push your skills could go down, that way it pushes you to win
SDCC 07: WWE SmackDown! vs. Raw 2008 Progress Report
Now this is extreme.
July 26, 2007 - We wish we could tell you we played as someone other than the Sandman when we got out grubby paws on WWE SmackDown! vs. Raw 2008 at San Diego Comic-Con, but that would be a lie.
If you're too young -- or too mainstream -- you might not remember how awesome the ECW of old was. There were people diving off scaffoldings, Mike Awesome throwing Masato Tanaka from the ring through a table and onto the concrete and ladies that weren't afraid to get hit with steel chairs.
It was like 300 in a bingo hall.
Anyway, Sandman. Today, in front of the dozens -- and dozens -- of fans at the THQ booth, we took the ECW original into a hardcore match with Rey Mysterio. We thought about being one of the other superstars -- this build featured John Cena, Kane, Randy Orton, Triple H, Undertaker, Bobby Lashley, Chris Masters and Jeff Hardy -- but it's about time Sandman got some videogame love. The guy was only featured in a couple crappy Acclaim games. He faked being blind for an angle -- give him his spotlight, you Cena fans!
So, if you're reading this, you're obviously a WWE fan and have probably read IGN's in-depth overview from a few weeks ago. In it, the article said the Sandman smashes a beer can on his head and enters from the crowd.
Friends, that ain't the half of it.
As the Sandman's theme kicks up, the main man walks into the audience from a side door with his Singapore cane in one hand and a beer in the other. He swigs the beer, slams the can repeatedly into his head and then spews the frothy beverage into the air. From there he marches through the impressively animated and detailed crowd, and the fans go nuts. He pushes past the throngs of folks -- some holding signs proclaiming that they're diva search rejects -- climbs onto the black barricade and hoists his cane into the air.
That's how you make an entrance.
Rey's introduction is equally as impressive. His music hits, the camera pans the cheering audience and then the highflier pops up from the depths of the stage. As a purple lightshow goes nuts in the arena, Rey runs around whipping the fans into a frenzy and then slides into the ring to share the spotlight with a scantily clad Lillian Garcia.
The bell rings, Sandman moves in and lands a solid kick to Rey's gut. From there, Sandman basically owns the cruiserweight. Superplexes, steel chair shots and submission moves follow qs Rey prays for death ... we're pretty sure THQ has dialed the difficulty down for its all-ages demo.
What was amazing for most of the first-timers stepping up to the control pad was how deep the controls were for being such a simple system. The left analog stick moves the wrestlers, the right analog stick performs simple grapples, run is controlled by holding a shoulder button and moving and submissions are now part of an analog-system where the person performing the move uses the stick to apply pressure and the opponent in pain tries to match the movements of an onscreen lock with the right analog stick to break the hold.
Picking up weapons, climbing in and out of the ring and performing strike maneuvers are all as easy as a single button press.
Although stunning visuals are expected from this generation, these guys still looked extremely impressive. From the sweat on Rey's chest to the tattoos on the Sandman, everything looked perfect -- even the fans holding up tired signs such as "I'm With Stupid" had animations for picking the poster board up from underneath their chairs and for putting it back.
Before we jumped into our slobber knocker with Rey and Sandy, we took a brief spin through the options in WWE SmackDown! vs. Raw 2008. From the main menu was the jump-in-and-wrestle Quick Play, Exhibition, Create modes and online. The online option was blocked out, but the creation category had slots to build move sets, stables, superstars, entrances and championships.
More than 200 new items will be available for this year's superstar creation mode and will be spread out across several customizable categories -- including but not limited to head, face, facial hair, face paint and piercings.
Once we got into the match types, we found a number of the bouts blocked out but had the opportunity to choose from a normal fight, first blood, hardcore, ladder and last man standing. We chose hardcore, Sandman wailed on Rey with a steel chair, and in the end, the ECW original pounded a beer in celebration while his opponent writhed in pain in the background.
November can't get here soon enough.
Now this is extreme.
