WWE '13 Universe Mode Thread - How's Your's Going?

Re: WWE '13 Universe Mode Thread - How's Your's Going?

I ended up splitting my roster as well, and I definitely like it. What I may do is just disable all these new guys I cant stand and then balance out my rosters. That way I never have to see the bums

Exactly. I don't know why so many people keep wrestlers on their shows who they don't want to use. I've even had rosters without shows... or shows I just sim. Time is finite - ain't no one got time for waiting out the AI's Scotty 2 Hotty vs Stone Cold feud.

see now..Stone Cold is cool, Scotty 2 Hottie is HOT NEGATIVE on my roster !

But I am definitely going to DISABLE, Epico & Primo (who the are these bums!), Kofi & R-Truth , and there are some others who will be getting the GET THE OUT BOOT!

Im still learning this game and didnt want to have a bare roster but I am definitely learning that even when I have a full roster the CPU will still fill my shows with bums!

Most definitely. Here's my current show match card (Saturday Superstars) (all generated by Universe):

* Arn Anderson vs. Rick Rude (winner AA via TKO)
* Sgt. Slaughter vs. Mr. Wonderful Paul Orndorff (winner Slaughter via TKO)
* Randy Savage vs. The Iron Sheik (winner Savage via Count Out)
* Rey Mysterio vs. Big Boss Man (winner Boss Man via pin)
* Chris Jericho vs. Paul Wight (winner Wight via pin)

NOTE: I added in TKOs to speed matches along a bit and simulate injuries. I'd never seen two on any one night before just now.

RAW is War - May, Week 1

I've decided that on RAW is War and Smackdown!, I'm going to just Simulate the "undercard matches", and watch the bigger matches. I'll watch all of the PPV matches, and give a decent sized write up on them. This way, I can pass the months and years quicker, and won't really have to worry about lesser "feuds", and I can get into my ultimate goal quicker.

Match 1 - Rikishi vs Jeff Jarrett (Winner - Jeff Jarrett)

Match 2 - Dan Severn vs Steve Blackmon (Winner - Dan Severn)

Match 3 - Lita vs Stephanie McMahon (Winner - Lita)

Match 4 - Ken Shamrock vs Triple H (Winner - Triple H)

Match 5 - The Rock vs Kane (Winner - Kane)

Thursday Night Smackdown! - May, Week 1

I'm running NXT in addition to the default shows. The AE guys are being used but only the ones who are 'realistic', and would be able to compete today, like Rikishi, Val Venis, Too Cool, DDP, Foley and Shamrock plus a few others.

Some of the CPU booking has been a bit dodgy, but my first PPV, Extreme Rules was really enjoyable:

United States Championship:
Michael McGillicutty (c) def. Jack Swagger, Justin Gabriel and Booker T in a Ladder Match

WWE Tag Team Championship:
Kofi Kingston and R-Truth (c) retained their titles against Primo and Epico via disqualification.

Intercontinental Championship:
Seth Rollins def. The Miz (c)

World Heavyweight Championship:
Edge def. Sheamus (c) in an Extreme Rules match

Daniel Bryan, Christian and John Cena def. Dolph Ziggler, Big Show and Cody Rhodes

Steel Cage Match:
Brock Lesnar def. The Rock

WWE Championship:
CM Punk (c) def. Chris Jericho in an Extreme Rules match

I had some terrific matches, especially when Sheamus gave me as Edge 3 High Crosses, managed to somehow kick out, and in the end it took 3 Edgecutions, two of them on steel chairs, to get the win and take the World Heavyweight Championship from the Celtic Warrior!

Playing/Watching my King of the Ring PPV tonight.

Card includes:

HBK (WWF Champion) vs The Rock
Stone Cold vs Kane
The Undertaker vs Paul Wight
Road Warriors (Tag Champions) vs New Age Outlaws
Triple H (IC Champion) vs Val Venis

Really happy at how the Universe created these matches with the last one for the Euro title being the only one that I added.

I thought when you put someone on the "inactive" roster in Universe this year they would not appear. I just had the '99 Rock and Kharma, both who are inactive, interfere in a match. WTH?

I've heard that even if someone is inactive, that can be overwritten if they have a rival. I think to be truly inactive you have to make sure their rivals/allies is clear and they're also on the inactive list.

Re: WWE '13 Universe Mode Thread - How's Your's Going?

When starting a universe should you clear all rivals and allies and set them up how you want or have the computer do it. I want more cutscenes and a better chance for branching story lines

Re: WWE '13 Universe Mode Thread - How's Your's Going?

I just recently restarted my Universe Mode after deciding to download Fan Axxess & all the available DLC characters. I just had the Money in the Bank PPV.

I have two major shows, RAW IS WAR (Monday) & RAW SuperShow (Friday). I have one minor show, Sunday Night Heat, on a Wednesday...
RAW IS WAR consists of the Attitude Era roster & my CAWs (original, wrestlers, & non-wrestlers).
RAW SuperShow consists of the RAW & Smackdown rosters along with CAWs of current wrestlers not in the game (Ryback, AJ Lee, Tensai, etc.).

The four titles (WWE Championship, Hardcore Championship, Tag Team Championship, Women's Championship) are shared between both shows.
- WWE Champion: Me
- Hardcore Champion: Santino Marella
- Tag Team Champions: The Headbangers (Thrasher & Mosh)
- Women's Champion: Harley Quinn

Randy Ortion just won the Money in the Bank PPV.
Gangrel is injured.

Notable rivalries going on right now:
- The NWO (Hollywood Hogan, Nash, Hall) vs Insane Clown Posse
- Brodus Clay vs The Godfather
- Bane (Dark Knight Rises) vs Mike Tyson
- Shawn Michaels vs Stone Cold

What screen do I have to go to see who's fueding? Im not going to start my Universe over AGAIN, but I would like to start my own fueds once I download everyone I need to download as well as make some custom belts.

Also can I assign belts that arent actual belts in my Universe, then have matches for those belts?

First question: Edit Universe > Click on the Wrestler > Go to the Rivals/Allies page. It isn't really "feuds" per say, but the higher up a Rival is, the more likely they are to interfere in a match or produce a before or after match cutscene, making it seem like a feud. My Universe keeps booking NWO vs ICP and when I play them out there is almost always a cutscene, but usually the same one (one team attacks another before the match).

Second question: Edit Universe > Edit Titles > assign the titles to whoever. Then just do custom matches with them.

Re: WWE '13 Universe Mode Thread - How's Your's Going?

Should you assign rivals and allies before starting your universe or leave them blank and let the computer assign them.

Yes I would do that IMO. I assigned a few rivals and allies and left the rest up to the CPU before I restarted mine and within the first month I started getting cutscenes. Also a good idea is to turn on interference in the match, that tends to produce more things like interference.

Another way to start a rivalry is to interfere in a match. That automatically adds whoever you screwed over as a rival.
