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

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

I prefer Taker, just because I'm not a huge fan of Big Show myself (although I have been using him semi regularly in my own Universe, mainly as a partner to Otunga who has gotten an out of this world push, as you have commented on lol). Although, if you're doing the Smackdown brand, I much prefer Alberto Del Rio as the main guy over there. I'm a huge Del Rio mark haha. Not sure what your rosters look like tho.

Punk v. Austin is a good feud. I've really been enjoying my Punk v. Rock feud for the WWE Championship.

For Triple H and Jericho, who would be the heel and who would be the face? This feud makes me happy because those are 2 of my top 3 all time favorite wrestlers (the 3rd being The Rock, who is my all time favorite)

Sounds like some good stuff going on there man.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of Show too much either, I just figured realistically a heel Show would ask for a rematch or whatever. But Undertaker figures to fit into the title picture too. If Show loses in a one-on-one vs Orton or normal triple threat where he's pinned, he's probably out of WHC contention for a bit. I'm certainly up for another Legend Killer vs Legend feud, the first one was awesome.

And Del Rio, he's a face on Smackdown since he recently turned in real-life. He could be a guy that wins that WHC #1C (to shorten it) tourney and get the next shot after Show/Taker. I don't know, I'm not as big on him, but he figures to be in the upper mid-card and higher.

Punk vs Austin should be good. I'm gonna try and keep it going over a few months and get a couple different matches with different stips, all of them I think are gonna be fun to watch.

Well, HHH actually attacked Jericho (who I had as a face since that was what he was in his last run) in a cutscene, so he turned heel. That's what I'm running with. I'm wondering though, whether Triple H should be partnered with somebody as heel HHH usually is (DX/Evolution/Corporation/etc). Either way, I'm liking this one too.

Thanks.

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

April Week 2 - SmackDown

Match 1 triple threat
Zack Ryder vs John Laurinaitis vs Yoshi Tatsu

After being dared to compete in this match, John Laurinaitis quickly made it be known that he wasn't going to compete. He then walked to the back and the match became a singles match. After a thunderous kick, Yoshi Tatsu got the win.

Yoshi Tatsu def. Zack Ryder

Match 2 one on one
Drew McIntyre vs The Miz

This match was made because of what happened on Raw when Drew McIntyre attacked Miz after his win over X-Pac. What seemed to be a highly competitive match, a Future Shock put Miz down. Could this be the start of a rivalry?

Drew McIntyre def. The Miz

Match 3 one on one #1 Contenders Match
Nikki Bella vs Brie Bella

Anytime the Bellas square off against each other your in for a show. It was hard trying to figure out who was beating who, but back to back action ending with Nikki landing a face crusher gets her the win and a shot at Beth's title.

Nikki Bella def. Brie Bella

Match 4 one on one Steel Cage
Ted DiBiase vs Hunico

After leaving the ring and being counted out in his match against Ted DiBiase on last weeks Smackdown, DiBiase and Hunico meet again. This time in a steel cage. Hunico had nowhere to run this go around as DiBiase punished him. After a viscious Dream Street, Ted DiBiase climbed the cage for the win.

Ted DiBiase def. Hunico

Main Event one on one
Shamus vs Daniel Bryan

After making an excuse to losing to Sheamus in their non-title bout last week, Bryan got a rematch against the WHC this week. Sheamus was taking it to Bryan letting him know he don't need weapons to beat him. After landing a devastating Brogue Kick Sheamus gets the win. While celebrating, Dolph Ziggler hit Sheamus with a lead pipe. Looks like SheamuSheamus has many eyes on his World Heavyweight Championship.

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

going into my 3rd yr of universe mode i switch it up some as i switched ryback to raw and after being sneaked attacked 3 times by cody rhodes and being knocked out of the heavyweight #1 contender match.....ryback entered the RR at 15 and took everybody out to win it and getting his shot finally at the WWE title at wrestlemania and finally ending punks yr and half reign as WWE champ.

Rybacks next oppent is dolph ziggler as he came out and attacked the champ after his triple threat match.... im gonna make it to where punks chasing ryback for few months before he wins strap back.

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

Alright guys, just signed up after reading through all your Universe experiences which all sound great.

I've just finished my 6th PPV (N.O.C) with Hell In A Cell just around the corner.

My rosters were Raw and Smackdown! and consisted of a mix between current and AE stars but over time I've mixed it up a bit and have actually got rid of most of the AE superstars. That's mainly because I didn't start watching until very late 90's and I was young then so most, although I know them, I don't get much from playing with them, whereas I've been enjoying using the likes of Ziggler, Bryan etc.

Anyway, a summary of what has happened so far with regards to titles:

Judgement Day:
WWE Championship: CM Punk(c) def Chris Jericho
WHC: HHH(c) def Bret Hart
U.S: HBK def Bulldog(c)
IC: Dolph Ziggler def Miz(c) & Kane - Triple Threat

King Of The Ring
WWE Championship: Ryback def CM Punk(c) - Last Man Standing
WHC: HHH(c) def Undertaker - Iron Man
U.S: HBK(c) def Bulldog - Last Man Standing
IC: Dolph Ziggler (c) def Miz & Kane - Triple Threat

** Don't know why I named this King Of The Ring because if there is a way of making an actual KOTR style PPV, I have no idea how lol

Vengeance
WWE Championship: Ryback(c) def Randy Orton - Last Man Standing
WHC: HHH(c) def The Rock
U.S: Bulldog def HBK(c)
IC: Dolph Ziggler(c) def Kane, Miz & Wade Barrett 4 man Elimination

Money In The Bank
WWE Championship: Ryback(c) def Alberto Del Rio
WHC: Undertaker def HHH(c), The Rock & Rikishi - 4 man Elimination
U.S: Not on card
IC: Dolph Ziggler(c) def Chris Jericho
MITB: Miz def Brock Lesnar, Rey Mysterio, Big Show, Wade Barrett & Daniel Bryan

Summerslam
WWE Championship: Ryback(c) def Randy Orton
WHC: Undertaker(c) def JBL, Playboy Pete, The Rock & John Cena - Scramble
U.S: Cody Rhodes(c) def Christian **I installed Rhodes as the new champion after I removed Bulldog from the roster during a shake-up. He may return to take it back someday, who knows?
IC: Kane def Dolph Ziggler(c)

**Playboy Pete: my original CAW. Admittedly not my greatest effort but he'll do for now

For anyone wondering about the Tag Titles; for some reason I have very little interest in building towards and carrying out any feuds/matches for these titles because I quickly get bored. So I sim that match when it pops up.

That's what had happened on the title scene up until my most recent PPV. Other noteworthy feuds have included:

Sheamus v Brock Lesnar
Dolph v Jericho (had my best 2 PPV matches with these)
Billy Gunn v Bret Hart (Bret has since been removed from the roster after losing a brutal cage match which I'm now calling his retirement match )
Daniel Bryan v Edge
Booker T v Cody Rhodes

For anyone wondering how I have been playing my game, I have mainly been playing most Raw/Smackdown matches on 'Quick' with the aim of trying to get to the PPV asap and saving myself for an 'Epic' match there. However, I've started watching some lately so save boring myself constantly in squash matches. I'll always control someone in the PPV's; it varies depending on if I want someone to win or not. Although I often let the AI take control at some stages just to keep it realistic and enhance the match. A recent example would be when I got caught off the top rope with a tombstone... I didn't even try kicking out because I couldn't stand how unrealistic it would be and it deserved to be the finish.

Now for my latest PPV: Night Of Champions

Intercontinental Championship: - 4 man Elimination
Wade Barrett (me) def Zack Ryder, Kane(c) and Ted Dibiase
Barrett spend most of the match going back and forth with Ryder while Kane did the same with Dibiase. After a long match with Barrett and Kane getting the better of their respective rivals, the remaining two went at it, taking the fight outside the ring before finally Barrett hit his finisher on Kane to claim the title.

Last Man Standing
Dolph Ziggler (me) def Chris Jericho
Arguably one of my most enjoyable matches I've had on this game so far. As always, I've found with these two, it was back and forth with both stars having the upper hand at various points. Ziggler hit Jericho with the Zig Zag but Kane, seemingly angry at his earlier loss, intervened and Chokeslammed Ziggler while Jericho made it to his feet. Despite making it up at the count of 7, Ziggler was then hit with back-to-back codebreakers but to Jericho's shock it wasn't enough. Ziggler snapped however, and planted Jericho with a vicious chair shot and when he made it to his feet at 8, he was met with the sweetest of superkicks to seal the victory for the Show Off. I can feel Ziggler v Kane storm brewing, though what will Y2J make of his second PPV loss to Ziggler.

U.S Championship

Cody Rhodes(c) (me) def Billy Gunn
After Billy Gunn retired Bret Hart in the steel cage I moved him up in the rankings. And despite not a single bit of build up to this match, Billy was still rewarded with his shot at NOC. This was never gonna live up to the previous match but didn't disappoint either. Billy Gunn sent Rhodes crashing through the barricade with a spear with Rhodes responding with a ddt through the announce table. Rhodes finally got the win after Crossroads.

Edge v Christian (both current era)
I had no idea where this fued had come from and decided to interfere in it rather than see it out. I hadn't seen CM Punk in a feud for a while so I got him involved and hit Edge with the GTS giving Christian a win over his former partner.

WWE Championship - 6 man Elimination

Stone Cold def Ryback(c) (me), Brock Lesnar, Sheamus, Randy Orton, Alberto Del Rio.
This was a fast-paced match with finishers left, right and centre. Stone Cold definitely had it in for Ryback here for some reason because he hit him with multiple stunners early on but Ryback just wouldn't stay down. He wasn't kicking out of an F5 however, and the final 2 saw Stone Cold fight it out with Brock Lesnar before back-to-back stunners saw off Lesnar.

WHC:
Undertaker(c) (me) def Daniel Bryan
An epic series of matches between Daniel Bryan and Edge, from which Bryan emerged victorious, was enough to give him a push up the rankings. And after leaving John Cena in a heap amongst the destoryed announce table for the 10 count, he earned his shot at the Dead Man. However, it proved a step too far for Bryan as he was dominated by Undertaker who eased to victory with a Tombstone in a relatively short match.

That's where I'm at so far. Sorry if it has been a long and messy read but I had a lot I wanted to catch people up on. I don't know what I'm gonna try and make happen this month but I want to try and get Cena, Lesnar and HH involved as they've been missing of late other than when there's been big title matches.

Oh, and nice to meet you all. Carry on the good work!

By the way.. are most people on here American or is it a bit of a mix?

I'm from the UK myself, just wondering who I was talking to that's all. Don't wanna be throwing out any of my slang

I'm guessing that, I'm from New Jersey myself, but I don't know. I'm willing to bet there's a good amount of UK people also though.

Nice one cheers, and likewise!

I dunno what kind of updates I'm gonna do, don't think I can manage one for every Raw/Smackdown because I like to fly through it but I'll give it my best!
