A pleasure man, none of this is possible without you, I am so happy that so many people appreciate your hard work, very excited to continue working with you!
Wow, this is like a dream come true, 24 years later - The definitive version of the most influential wrestling game of all time.

WTF?!😂 The original game and the original roster is already from that period, so how does it feel like a time capsule?🤣 You act like he took a game from 2010 or 2020 and did a mod about the year 2000. Are you high?
Just discovered this channel and the mod. Can't wait to play it and looking forward to the new mods as well. I got Smackdown 2 when it came out back in 2000 and has always been a favorite of mine. Thanks for keeping the legacy alive and thanks to you and your team for all the hard work!
Welcome aboard! The channel is sort of a hub for mods for all the older games so if you search trailers or mods here on the channel, there will be no shortage of playlists and you might find mods you like even more than this one! Thank you for the kind words about the mod!
Did not expect a shout out for those suggestions. Thank you so much. Awesome work all round, now I need to decide what version will be my main choice 😅

Good video Sean. It's crazy that amount of mods that exist for classic wrestling games now. Before, the focus was more on the AKI N64 games and modern WWE 2K games. But seeing the Smackdown games getting some much needed modding attention has been cool to see.
@@SeanomaniacwrestlingreviewsIs the black Taker attire in V2 something he wore? I always remember the blue attire in V1 as his post Judgment Day 2000 attire. That's the only thing that has thrown off a bit with the mod.
@Seanomaniacwrestlingreviews Oh no doubt at all; thank you for clarifying this for me and for all of the hard work you've put into this. It pleases me to know so many others love Smackdown 2 as much as I always have.
Wow! I knew you was working on something but this is a crazy amount of choices you putting out all at once. 😮 I am blown away by this... Well done! I really love that no Hud feature.. it's strange but it's a great option to use once you are a pro at wrestling games and everything is second nature. It's nice to be able to sink into the simulation of it.
I basically wanted to cover the entire ground so yeah I think we got there, there's truly something for everyone here Yeah like the no HUD is fine for me with other games, I record so much footage with no HUD but seeing Smackdown 2 like that I thought this was strange
Another amazing project Sean, I just finished watching all 3 videos and it is beautiful work. The OSTs of this game are very nostalgic, this type of music is something I miss in current games.
Yeah I hadn't really properly listened to the music with headphones and all before but I found it so fun there was no way I wasn't having that as the soundtrack, I don't like licensed music soundtracks for wrestling games I think 07 has a great one and then it's very hit and miss
I Just stumbled upon this channel I'm blown away I've had SD 2 since it came out I always wanted these updates I can't wait to download these especially Kane it always bothered me they didn't put him in his mesh attire or the reverse version now he's got them looking forward to the oh hell yeah version love WM 2000 2K24 what I'm going back to my childhood.
Take all the time you need, the upcoming projects sounds awesome. This final It Doesnt Matter Mod will keep everyone busy till they come out. Thanks so much to everybody who had a hand in making these!
I've been playing and enjoying SmackDown 2 for 2 decades to this day, it singlehandedly turned me into a diehard wrestling fan. I'm from the Philippines where our economy is shitty but I was privileged enough that my folks got me a PS1 for a present (PS2 and Just Bring It were already out at the time, but I also understood at that age that gaming was quite the expensive luxury hobby those days, especially in the Philippines. So we took the older console and older game lol but it's still a solid, fun time, and I'm very, very grateful to my folks. And that's also why the prospect of a Just Bring It mod is just getting people like me more excited but again, thanks for all your hard work and not letting this great game die, it's just awesome that lots of people still come back to it.)
Just downloaded V2 to my handheld and it's everything I wanted as a kid. HUGE THANK YOU! I can't see the created wrestlers though, I specifically want Raven. Where can I find these? Thanks for the amazing work man, can't wait for JBI!
@@Seanomaniacwrestlingreviews Ah good to know! I'm very new to the emulator scene (this is my first console, it's the r36s) so I'll mess around and see where those files go! Im assuming they go in the psx one? We'll see. Thanks dude!
Incredible work man! I'm really excited to see future projects as well. Does Ravens theme exist in V2? I'm just curious if the hidden models have hidden themes as well?
Nope, you can see the timeline in the video it just goes up to Invasion PPV and they hadn't debuted the new set yet, I think it came just before Summerslam
Smackdown! 2 is a super underrated game by those who didn't play it when it was new. It perfected all of the shortfalls of Smackdown! 1 and had a great season mode to top it off. I played this for years as a kid even though I had Just Bring It! I'd even say it was even better than the beloved No Mercy. Today's WWE games are stilling running on the framework of the original Smackdown! games.
Oh I think the big thing for me when comparing the two was that Smackdown 2 didn't have the multiple attires to cover as much ground as No Mercy but now with my mod, I cleared up the biggest issue I had so I think it has a chance of standing up to it!
Hi Sean. I just wanna share that your mods (SD2 IDM Rumble DLC & V3) works fine on my Jailbroken FW9.00 PS4 without any crashes. However, the bad part is the converter to convert the bin/cue file to PS4 pkg files does not have the option to import memory card. Well, it doesn't bother me. Nice work, sean!! 🙏
@@Seanomaniacwrestlingreviews Welcome, sean! 😉 Can't wait for the Invasion era mod and maybe Golden Generation or New Generation era on SD2 in the future!! I wish 🙏😂
Fantastic work Sean 👑. For your future SD 2 mods, what are the chances of being able to tweak the facial appearance of Stone Cold?. I’ve always thought the SD 2 model looked quite off in which is there any way to say, take his facial texture from JBI and incorporate it into SD 2 if that makes sense?.
For the OHY Mod, I don't think I want to change faces of the wrestlers I want to keep it very much in the same style of this is Smackdown 1 just in Smackdown 2 but for the JBI mod I would like to play around with faces, Austin, Angle for sure so we will definitely see about it
Now I’m torn between this and the Inspired Patch mod. I don’t know which is better. I’m just now really getting into the attitude era and I enjoyed the other eras of the 90’s and 80’s. I’ve yet to see the 2000’s era.
Well I would never ask anyone to choose one over the other haha The Inspired mod has more innovations than this mod but this mod is all about timeline accuracy so it comes down to what you value more ^^ If you watch through late 99 to autumn of 2000 and you love that period, this is the mod for you
Question are all the season mode is going to be the same just like in the original game or will you be able to set up the story lines that went down in the year 1999 2000 2001 on each respective mod
@@Seanomaniacwrestlingreviews none, It was my Mistake, sorry about that....btw, How I can Unlock Andre The Giant here??? Sorry about the questions if bother you..but I'm a noob in this kind of things
The excel sheet tells you how to make him in the CAW mode he is not unlockable, have a look at the readme too, it might answer more questions you have@@MegaBronsky1
It will have 2 RAW stages one that will have the WWF logo and the second one will be the WWF logo with the 9 lights behind it that they began to use in the Summer of 99
He's in it yeah, I just didnt include him in the video because I don't use him at all, he's more of an inclusion because of his slot being disabled originally more than an inclusion for the timeline, hope that makes sense to you
It's definitely possible but it would not be done without someone paying for it and from a rough estimate, I think you would be talking upwards of 1K for it
Do you actually mean make it or do you mean play it? If you mean play it, instructions are in the readme If you mean make it, Inspired did the work on attires, I simply commisioned it
