Re: WWE 12 Retail Impressions

Before each show can you set the matches up, like all 4 custom matches on Raw, then start the event?So you dont have to go back to the title screen the set the next match.

He would have to confirm if we can change the card while it is in progress. If not, you could only have the KOTR final match, so again, lame.

Yes, you can change the card once an event has begun, so it should be possible to run a tournament-type PPV. I haven't tried it, though, to confirm.

You can set your card before you start a show and then it will flow directly from one match to the next without taking you back to the match select screen. It will also transition on to the next show if you want.

OK, music...

I ripped William Regal's Man's Man theme from the WWE Attitude CD and assigned that to him. It is a little louder than the default themes and is lacking the reverb that the others seem to have.

Post-match, his theme only plays during the match highlights and then stops. By contrast, a regular theme continues to play while the winner celebrates in the ring and Cole & the King talk about the match. It actually continues to play until you exit the match. Regal's custom theme didn't do this.

Not sure if that helps answer your questions. If you were looking for something more specific, let me know.

This sounds like the glitch from last year, only worse.

Is there any chance you can try turning OFF the replays/match highlights and see if the custom entrance music plays for the winning animation then?

I think they tried to fix the problem of the music playing twice by telling the game to only play it once, but then it doesn't KEEP playing it for the winning animation. So I think if you turn off the highlights, the game might play the custom music for the winning animation instead...

If you get a chance, can you test this out?

Re: WWE 12 Retail Impressions

I'm hearing comments about not being able to reset universe. So my question is how do you start a 2nd universe if you want different wrestlers in them because you got the Legends DLC months later and you want them in your universe. Do you have to delete a save file or reinstall the whole game again or can you start a 2nd universe and ignore the 1st like you can do with seasons for other sports games.

Or is it possible to change the roster in the middle of an existing universe?

Since the game doesn't track years, only months, you can simply insert whoever you want into your universe and it will generate angles for them. Because you can always reset each wrestler's stats/allies/rivals and assign titles to whoever you want, it's not that difficult to restart your universe. But you can only run one universe at a time.

Awesome thanks.
Can you set up a full month of cards or just the show your on?

Just the show you're on.

Turned off postmatch highlights and custom music plays throughout, through the celebration animation and keeps playing until you exit the match.

Last year we could change the card match by match, even after you've played a match - so I don't see why that would change.

Lol you'd be surprise

You are awesome man is the undisputed championship a shared title between raw and smackdown and how is the WCW title announced and written during ring announce?? WCW championship or WCW classic championship??

[Aggies7]

I'm sure it's been answered but is there openings to each show with music and pyro? And you said you can go match to match without having to go back to match screen. Is there anything in between matches such as stuff going on backstage setting up storylines?

I think you can choose which brands compete for which belts. So if you want the Undisputed title to be Raw exclusive, you can set it that way, if you want it so all brands can compete for it, you can select that too. I might be wrong about this, so jrider99 can clarify. The problem is, I think you have to have two active major titles, though I could be wrong on all of this.

Re: WWE 12 Retail Impressions

If I got this I'd be interested in a completely CAW Universe w/o WWE guys and me "booking" CPU vs CPU matches and watching them play out. If anyone gets the game and has information on how/if this works this year (like 11?) then I'd appreciate it.

Yes, the shows open up with pyro and everything. In between matches, you get a screen showing the next match while the game loads. It's just the same graphics they show on TV. Looks pretty cool actually. All of the cutscenes/storyline stuff I've seen happens once a match begins or after it ends and before you advance to the next match.

I'm the same way. I'm curious if the AI in a CPU vs CPU is better than last year...
