WWE 12 Retail Early Impressions

[Aggies7]

I don't have the game but call names have indeed been improved. There is a much bigger list to choose from that has much more variety, such as having alot of real names instead of gimmick names. Also for the first time you're able to string up to 4 different names together, to allow for alot more possibilities. So yes, CAW announce names should be much less generic this year.

Just wish they would add a feature where you could do your own announcing or download someone like Howard Finkel saying the name or that gal that used to do it and upload it for the entrance.

But still good news it's been improved.

Re: WWE 12 Retail Impressions

Can you create your own title matches for unranked titles in Universe?

So, say I want to bring the European title back; could I put all the other unranked belts on a legend in WCW, give someone the European title, and make them defend it when I want?

Also, is it possible to swap out major and minor titles in the middle of your Universe or is it something you set from the beginning? I want my CAW to get rid of the god awful spinner belt and bring some attitude back to wrestling when he wins the WWE title in Universe.

I doubt you can defend non-sanctioned belts. You can only have 4 on a brand and if the European isn't one of them, then it won't be defended. You can have someone wear it as a novelty, i.e. Shane McMahon.

I've a question ?
If u ever played against someone else in a 1 on 1 match......how does it feel ? Does thr match feel slow and sluggish....or is there action in the match and the flow of the match ?

You could do title matches in Universe with the secondary belts last year so I hope they didn't take that out.

Re: WWE 12 Retail Impressions

Not to be a bother, but have you checked on the custom music yet. Last year these bugs really annoyed me and I'm just curious to see if they were fixed

I'm checking this out now. Will get back to you in a few minutes.

I've played plenty of 1v1 matches and I think the matches flow just fine. The overall pace of the game is different from past SvR games; it's somewhat faster, but it feels less arcadey if that makes sense. I think it goes back to how well moves are sold. I'm just not seeing guys hop right back up ready to fight after getting hit with a move.

Re: WWE 12 Retail Impressions

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.

Yes, secondary titles can be defended in Universe. I just put the Hardcore strap on Alex Riley, then put him in a match on Raw against Nash with the strap on the line. Nash won, and it even acknowledged in the news section that Nash has won the hardcore championship.

You can switch out titles whenever you want in Universe. I just switched to the old IC belt and that is now recognized as the minor title on Smackdown.

Re: WWE 12 Retail Impressions

what happens if they drop the unified straps?...do all of em transfer?

Finally had a chance to check this and only the unified titles transfer. I put the unified straps on Ziggler and Swagger, and Air Boom came out wearing the world tag titles and were introduced as such. Gotta find a way around this.

Re: WWE 12 Retail Impressions

Well so much for finding a work around for the tag titles. Unlike every other minor belt, those can only be assigned to someone from Raw or Smackdown. And since they can't be vacated...well, you get the picture.

I think I'm just going to go ahead and manually move them to the unified champs whenever those titles change hands.
