How are your CPU vs CPU matches and what slider set are you using?

Seem better than last year so far. It's good having the option to choose between, quick, normal and epic though - will do epic for ppv's etc.

All sliders default except I've increased finisher damage by a couple of notches.

Started mine, sorta went through a year quick, and just played the "Highlight" matches and some good PPV's.

Ryback and Miz joined Ziggler and Swagger to form the Varsity Club, while Chris Jericho joined the Brothers of Destruction.

CM Punk & Eve joined HBK and HHH in DX, and were fueding with the Varsity Club until Ryback, CM punk and eve broke off and formed their own trio.... that was pretty cool.

Great reads guys, it's making me really want to pick this game up, but unfortunately the money situation is forcing me to hold off for a little bit.

I had a quick questions if someone could answer

If you change the match on the card, do you have the option to still make it CPU vs. CPU? I swear last year if you edited the card you had to play the match which annoyed me.

Will me editing matches not bring on cutscenes?

Most of my matches from last year were CPU vs CPU. Even if I did change them. You have to make them CPU vs CPU from the wrestler select screen.

Yeah. I really have no desire to see Gangrel/Slater for no reason.

Pretty sure if you change anything about the match (wrestlers, even their attire, or match type), it will void the storyline, unfortunately. I wish that weren't the case. A bummer for sure.

I've come to the above conclusion after reading everything on here, threads from GameFaqs, Neoseeker, THQ's WWE '13 forum and IGN's.

You can 'tell' if the match has feud/storyline implications if, after you click A/X to launch, you click 'Match Creator' and you get a warning in regards to changing anything and messing up the storyline.

I guess for the ones you don't get the warning message for, you can edit away to your heart's content.

Well that's good at least. I will at least be able to change matches that don't matter.

Too much BS in this mode. In the whole game really. Too many bugs.

If a patch doesn't fix most of the crap going on I probably won't be playing it much.

Do you guys play the matches or just watch, me personally i'm not into just watching the match.

A storyline match will also say "Tonight's Highlight Match" on the match card screen.

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

I don't have a ton of unlocks yet, and I'm still kind of figuring things out as I go along, so I'm not sure how happy I am with the Universe Mode yet, but I'm hoping things start coming into their own.

My first match was The Miz v. Mike Tyson, which was a very fun match that unfortunately The Miz lost after Tyson no sold 2 Skull Crushing Finales and getting put through the announce table, and finished Miz off with a right hook. In the weeks that followed (well, week, really, as I'm only in my 2nd week), I'm trying to develop a feud between Tyson and The Miz by having Tyson interfere in a match between Miz and Shawn Michaels, attacking Miz and costing him the match. I would like this to lead to a match between Miz and Tyson at Extreme Rulez (possibly for the Intercontinental Championship), and a possible reunion of D-Generation X (when I get the people unlocked that I need to form a DX stable). With Miz being the Intercontinental Champion, I am considering moving him to the Smackdown brand. But, being a huge Miz fan, I also kind of like having Miz show up on both shows, appearing on Raw for his feud with Tyson, and on Smackdown for Intercontinental Championship business.

My biggest storyline currently is the WWE Championship picture, which involves WWE Champion CM Punk, The Rock, and Chris Jericho. My first week's Raw main event was between The Rock and CM Punk, which Jericho ran in, and attacked The Rock. Rock still picked up the victory, and he and CM Punk shook hands in a display of sportsmanship after the match. This past week on Raw, The Rock faced off against Chris Jericho with CM Punk as the special guest referee. Jericho attacked The Rock before the match began, as Rock made his way to the ring, and once the 2 men finally got into the ring, CM Punk immediately threw the match out, disqualifying The Rock who accidentally struck him while trying to get to Jericho. The question now is, what were Punk's motivations? What will this lead to? Rock and Punk were seemingly on good terms, but is Punk really aligned with Jericho?

My World Heavyweight Championship picture sees Sheamus going at Stone Cold Steve Austin. Sheamus made his way to the announce table during a match between Jericho and Austin on Heat, and Sheamus was sure to get in Austin's face. The next night on Smackdown, Sheamus defeated Austin one on one, and followed up by attacking Austin the following Monday on Raw. Sheamus is obviously trying to make a name for himself, provoking the Texas Rattlesnake. I'm considering moving Austin to Smackdown, and building this up to a title match at Extreme Rulez.

Those currently are my biggest storylines. Ted DiBiase is currently building a rivalry with Hunico, but it's unknown to what means. Ziggler has been getting himself tangled up with Brodus Clay. And Team Hell No are the next WWE Tag Team Champions. I've recently added Bret Hart and British Bulldog to the roster, but don't have any plans for them currently. I've deleted the Thursday Night minor show from the schedule, and am just running Raw and Smackdown currently, after doing a week with Heat. Contemplating whether or not I want to add another show to the mix to utilize some of the talent not in main storylines.

RAW Week 1:

Match 1: Dude Love v Kane
In a dominant performance The Big Red Machine moves into the #3 spot for the WWE CHAMPIONSHIP, forcing Dude Love to Tap Out

Match 2: Primo & Epico v The luchadors Rey & Sin Cara
Primo & Epico get the W and are the first Team to move another step closer to Tag Gold

Match 3: Eve v Brie Bella
Eve moves on with a decent performance in the Divas Tournament

Match 4: Otunga v The Miz
With United States Title aspirations on the line Otunga gets assaulted during his entrance by Champion Jack Swagger. Otunga and miz go toe to toe but Otunga proves to be too strong and gets the huge Win... After the match when Otunga left the ring Eve came out from the back and hooked Orungas arm escorting him to the back

Main Event: Dolph Ziggler v R-Truth
This was a storyline match so Im chrious to see where it goes, it was a good back and forth match which saw Ziggler picking up a great Win
