WWE 2k15- What are your Plans for Universe Mode

Re: WWE 2k15- What are your Plans for Universe Mode

Might do "seasons" where guys are ranked in certain divisions and can move up at the end of seasons by challenging up.

Also thought about seasons that are run like a sports league with 3 month seasons. Split them into different levels and have them move up and down after a season where they do more of a round robin style season with a tournament at the end.

That sounds really fun might try that

Probably one big brand with a mix of current guys and legends. I usually loose interest in Universe due to the lack of cut scenes and actual stories during a feud. Hopefully this is something 2K has fixed seeing THQ could never get it right after 4 games with Universe

Yeah I kind of have season in my current one for WWE2K14 but might want to try and to more of it. Not sure if I would included big feuds or have a schedule where each person in a division wrestles everyone a certain number of times and then have a tournament at the end. Maybe split each title into multiple divisions depending on how many guys are in each one.

Re: WWE 2k15- What are your Plans for Universe Mode

Definitely liking the season idea, but my thought will be to use a spreadsheet to keep track of the stats of each season.

May do a draft every 6 months, have 3 shows, with only the top 2 shows getting PPV's every month. (Maybe only do 2 shows, with 1 show having a PPV, will have to plan that out when full roster is released.) But I will have a Major/Minor on each show, and possibly a tag on all shows or at least 2/3.

Every 6 months, the top and bottom of each show will be shuffled around, and if one of the current champions happen to be in the top of the standings, then a tournament will occur for the vacated title.

This will keep things fresh for me and could make for fun storylines.

I'll definitely be placing Ambrose in the WWE WHC scene on the RTWM. He'll be the one to defeat Lesnar. I also plan on having Wyatt, Sandow, Cesaro and Rollins in the mix as well. Roman Reigns will be a midcarder, naturally.

Definitely would have to use some sort of spread sheet to keep track of wins and loses and stuff like that. Also you could do a hockey type thing where you have points as well (depending on type of win)

Would also have to work in Triple Threat and Fatal 4way matches. In triple threat the person who didnt take the pinfall could get a tie.

Put a certain number of guys in each "division" and figure out how you want to run it.

After each season I would probably take the champion of the lower division as well as the next two top ranked and let them "challenge" for a spot in the high division. If you end up doing round robin type thing it would also guarantee that the titles get defended plenty of times.

I personally would definitely be doing tag and women's divisions. Just have to figure out hoe many guys per division and if I do them on separate shows and have a main card and mid card on each brand or not.

Also have to figure out season lengths.

For me I would probably be doing RAW, SD, and NXT with the NXT Champions getting a chance to move up to one of the main rosters.

not sure if I would have PPVs every month with this type of format or just do one every three months or so at the end of a season.

I love the draft idea as well but not sure how ofter I would do it or just have it be after WM>

The way in thinking of doing my draft is moving some PPV around and having the seasons start night after wrestlemania with the draft that night, week 4 march. Then having the that season end at the ppv I choose for week 4 September, with the relegation draft night after.

That would be two seasons a year at 26 weeks a piece and 3 shows a week and 1 ppv a month for main show, maybe 1 every two months for a combined bottom two shows

You wouldnt be able to move WM until after the first year though because it starts after WM in the first week of April.

I am trying to figure out a set up and scoring system that will allow for good divisions as well as enough time for matches.

With this idea there cant really be any big rivalries set up but you can still set up rivals.

That's why you do a draft based on what you want, you don't have to do it based off of W/L record. No since in having a guy on the bottom dropped if you have plans for him. It's all personal preference anyways.

I would set up things originally (possibly with a draft or pre-Universe draft). Then do an actual season like a sports season with groupings within divisions and brand champions. At the end of the season have a tournament and the winner of the tournament gets a shot at the World Titles.

Re: WWE 2k15- What are your Plans for Universe Mode

I got some big plans for 2k15. It starts with the return of the brand split, and a full fantasy draft of the entire WWE roster between Raw and Smackdown. The two brands are in competition to put on the best show (which is what I did last year)

Then i'm going to add an extension brand. The brand has to go into the indies to fill out it's roster, and they get a superstar or two from Raw or Smackdown to help fill out the roster. (This roster actually turns out surprisingly good, better than I expected)

NXT is the developmental brand. All the guys on that roster are free to sign with any of the three brands. It's a cool dynamic imo. Imagine three brands tearing each other apart trying to sign Hideo Itami.

The three brands get their own PPV's and try to compete for brand supremacy. It's basically a more polished version of my 2K14 Universe that I was posting here a few months back. I can't wait to play!

Btw, anyone got a good name for a third brand to go against Raw & Smackdown?

Re: WWE 2k15- What are your Plans for Universe Mode

@Smoove...I would just go with Impact, Nitro, or Thunder. If they have WCW stuff in the game again then definitely Nitro or Thunder.


As for me I might possibly run different universes on different log ins. I am very intrigued by my league idea and want to run that to see how it turns out, but I also like the idea of a brand split. With a league I can see myself being more inclined to use the legends then with my regular Universe.

Re: WWE 2k15- What are your Plans for Universe Mode

i want to do an NXT show but i wonder if i can move some main roster guys over because this is basically all i can draw up for an NXT roster

Neville
Zayn
Bo Dallas
Tyson Kidd
Gaberiel
Woods

with that i only have six so either i will move more lower card talent if i can figure out any otherwise i will stick Neville and Zayn to the main roster

i was gonna bump Konnor and Viktor to the main roster, i could always move Santino, Fandango, Titus, Axel, Ryback and so on to NXT while they serve jobber duty on Raw/SD/Main Event, even so thats only 13 people if i know myself im gonna wind up changing my mind a bunch of times anyway
