    I would say construct your Universe around your favorite era of wrestling. It gets boring or uninteresting playing with guys you've never heard of or know nothing about. Also, I did the cut off/on thing I get cut scenes but they dont flow consistently. As long as you have a half way decent imagination it wont even matter.

    Also scheduele matches that you want to play/see, it makes it more fun rather than always simming IMO, I used to sim all time only playing matches with my CAWs but now I play most of them and its more fun.

      Okay, I lost interest in my Attitude Universe.

      So, I started over with a current one.

      Pretty much the same rosters are we see in real life.

      CM Punk is WWE champion on RAW, Big Show is WH champion on Smackdown!, Kofi is Intercontinental champion, and since I don't have Cesaro, R-Truth is U.S. champion. Hell No are the tag team champions.

      Anyway, rather than treat it as me being the GM of the shows, I decided to use a Seth Rollins CAW, and work his way up the WWE ladder. I currently have him, Ambrose, & Kassius Ohno on RAW.

      I'm going to play all of his matches, and only his matches. I'll let the game determine the match cards, and create storylines and feuds. If Rollins isn't on the card, I won't play a match on the show. I may watch some main event matches.

        Thanks! And that's exactly what i'm going to do, keep my rosters to wrestlers that I know!

          What I'm basically doing now is play all the matches that DON"T have the interfere option. They always have cutscenes...while those that you can interfere in seems to never have...though I can't say it's fact.

          But it definitely seems that the matches the system don't want you to interfere in is the ones which has storylines. This definitely upped the enjoyment factor for me...since stuff is finally happening.

          I sim all the matches in which I can interfere, as well as tag team matches...my experience is no cutscenes in tag matches. Had my first branching storyline last night as well. Had an epic long match between Scott Hall and Bret Hart (me) on WCW Nitro. After a back and forth match Scott Hall finally got the pin. He put out his hand for a handshake...and a black box appeared. With no options in it??? Though I could hear the cursor changing if I press up and down. Anyways just pressed x to select either one of them since I can't see what they say. And Bret Hart knocks Scott hall down...was very cool. So now they are booked for a rematch this week on WCW Nitro.

          Also had a wrestlemania quality match between Brock Lesnar and Undertaker on Raw is War...with Undertaker coming out on top. This match also had a cutscene where they went at each other before the match on the ramp. After a lengthy battle they made it in ring and the bell rang to start the match.

            I'm just putting this out there for people that might just be starting their Universe. Make sure you go into your wrestlers and fix the allies and enemies for each one. It seems to help the story lines. Unless you want the Universe to control everything.

              SteviePhresh's WWE 13 Universe



              Statement released by Vince McMahon:

              "Today marks a new era in the World Wrestling Entertainment industry. For a long while now, I feel, along with other members of the WWE front office, that the WWE has not been living up to expectations. Once known for having the #1 ratings on national television, we feel that we are not on par to what we used to be.

              The WWE is now in a revamp period of it's career. Starting now, the WWE will be starting over. Call it a re-birth, a Renaissance, if you will. New, talented, young superstars will be joining our show. Old faces from the 80's-90's era will make comebacks. New alliances and rivalries will be formed. All of these changes mean one thing and that calls for completely new storylines. The storylines of our show have most recently been called "corny" or "childish", amongst many other names that are hard to swallow. It was never our intention to provide our viewers with something they deem "immature", rather we were trying to keep it PG-friendly.

              It seems as though this approach has backfired and the majority of the audience would like to see something a little more on the "PG-13" standards. That being said, we have signed contracts with the FX station which will allow us to make our scripts fit the criteria of more mature storylines, providing our viewers with what they want to see.

              We start off simple, with the RAW and Smackdown brands being our two major shows. Both shows will have a major belt, a minor belt, a woman's belt, and a tag team belt. The addition of the Hardcore belt will also return, but to which show I will not reveal just yet. A General Manager for both brands will be announced on it's respectful night of the show. RAW will take place on it's usual Monday nights and Smackdown will take place on Thursday nights. All PPV's will take place on Sundays.

              That is all for now, please ask any questions you have and I will answer to the best of my ability. Thank you."

                I did this as well! I still control all my matches though.

                  I agree with this. Treat Universe Mode like your own personal WWE. That's what I do.

                  The stars of today and the Attitude Era that I want as part of my stories are on Raw and Smackdown based on real rosters or where stories have taken them, and the guys I dont particularly care for or want to use are on NXT.

                  I play every match, only occasionally simulating a divas match or something. I book every match (unless i see a predetermined story that I approve of... I got about 4 of them going on right now), hope for cut scenes, and use my imagination for the rest. I've enjoyed Universe, even if last year was better.

                    You can get cut scenes in "interfereable" matches, but you're right it's not common.

                    I use those matches to build my own matches and feuds, while letting the pre booked story matches play out (unless its a dumb feud that I reject.)

                    I agree with playing all the matches.

                      Good call, I need to go through and clean that up to reflect how my universe is actually playing out.

                            Question about universe, are there only cutscenes and stuff happening on Todays Highlighted Match or can it happen for any match?

                              I hope you keep yours going, stevie. It looks interesting so far.

                              Though I would recommend sending a few more top guys to SD, it looks like there's a bit less star power on that side (much like in real life I guess).

                                Welcome to The Great Debate my friend , where we all have an opinion about cut scenes but no solid answers!

                                Well, I am getting cut scenes but not story scenes if that makes sense. I get people interfering and after match cut scenes but no branching story lines.

                                I did the cut off/on trick. There was also a post about matches where you CANT have match interference with having the story lines.

                                Bottom line, none of us really know but if you use your imagination you can have "infinite cut scenes"
                                Rather than complain about life, take responsibility and do something about it..
