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

This will be my first time truly using Universe. At the end of the day, the only thing I'm sure of is Brock Lesnar will walk in champ and will leave champ! JBL gonna get some gold as well.

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

I don't really have any sure plans at the moment. I'm so pyshced for the game because I traded in my Xbox (and ability to play WWE video games for now) in June to get a PS4. In different ways, I'll push Barrett, Bray Wyatt, Cesaro, Cody Rhodes, Axel, Sandow, Bryan, Ziggler, Harper, Reigns, Ryback, Titus O'Neil, and Tyson Kidd.

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

My WM plans for year one

I think instead of doing the seasons deal, I'm going to stick to the base of the shows now.

So here we go, I'll base mine off a 8 match show

I'm going to a seasons one until all downloads are available and some kick *** Superstars are created to add into my Universe (or run them both on different log ins and just do results for seasons as its really going to be just like a sports season)


As for 8 man show, the most you could have in '14 was 7 per show.

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

With the WCW pack, I'm tempted to run a WCW Universe for my own little ratings war. Maybe combine my favorite elements of WCW over the years instead of pinpointing one specific era. I always loved the WCW product, even though it was horribly mismanaged.

[wiscowilz]

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

So I've decided I'm going to wait on my actual Universe until the downloads are ready and plenty of awesome Created guys are available to download.


I'm still going to run my "league" idea but I don't need Universe to do it, just going to run it outside of Universe I think (If I decide to do it within Universe it will be under a different log in and using ONLY the guys actually in the game).


I have my different "leagues" set up and guys may move into a Legends league if I see fit. Others will move up and down through the different tiers. Once guys move to Legends they will not move back. Size of Tiers may change throughout but right now I have the following:


Tier 1 (The TOP dogs, been to the top, would be SHOCKED if they competed for a midcard title again): 12
Tier 2 (Guys who are former World Champions but were relegated to midcard recently and actually challenging for midcard titles or not): 8
Tier 3 (Guys who are below the bottom. Possibly held midcard title, never World Champion. Guys who could easily be elevated to the top 2 tiers): 8
Tier 4 (Guys at the bottom when it comes to singles action): 8
Tier 5 (Basically my NXT division for now, could be completely deleted in time or could just be my lowest card division): 8


Tag Teams: 8 or 9 teams depending on who I team (most will compete in singles as well)


Divas: 9 (no moving up and down as there will be only one tier)

[wiscowilz]

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

SO I've decided to simplify my "seasons" idea. I'm only doing triple threat matches for divisions that have 3 people in it and fatal 4ways for division that have 4 people in it. (This will keep me occupied until I start my actual Universe, which will probably be after downloads are available and I have lots of fun with My Career)
There will always wrestle their own division 2 times and other divisions once


I used a random grouping generator for the divisions:


Top Tier(guys who are/have been champion and would probably not challenge for a mid card title ever again or rarely)
3 divisions: 89 total matches (includes 2 sets of divisional fatal 4ways and playoffs)
A: John Cena, The Rock, Undertaker, CM Punk
B: Brock Lesnar, Mark Henry, Big Show, Batista
C: Kane, Triple H, Daniel Bryan, Randy Orton


Playoffs: Division Champs + 3 Wild Cards. 3 round. Top two division champs get a bye in the first round.


Relegation Status: Worst will move down one tier (replaced by Tier 2 champion). 2nd worst may be challenged by runner up in tier 2 tournament for their spot.


Second Tier: (Guys who have been to the top but then were relegated to mid card status and WOULD challenge/hold mid card title)
2 divisions: 47 total matches (including 2 divisional fatal 4ways and playoffs)
A: RVD, Jericho, Swagger, Mize
B: Seamus, Ziegler, Del Rio, Mysterio


Playoffs: Division Champs + 1 Wild Card. Top Division Champ gets first round bye)


Promotion: Tournament Champ automatically moves up. 2nd place can challenge for a spot


Relegation: Worst moves down (switches with Tier 3 Champ). 2nd worst can be challenged by Tier 3 runner up.


Tier 3: Young up and comers or guys who have been secondary champ and have stuck in that status (haven't moved down in status, many of these guys I see as future possible world champions)
2 divisions: 70 matches (including playoffs)
A: Bray Wyatt, Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Boldest, Big E Langston
B: Cesaro, Cody Rhodes, Dean Ambrose, Wade Barrett, Kofi Kingston


Playoffs: Divisions Champs plus 4 Wild Cards. Divisions Champs get first round bye


Promotion: Tournament winner gets promoted. Runner up can challenge for a spot.


Relegation: Worst gets demoted to Tier 4. 2nd worst can be challenged.


***NOTE: There are a couple of guys who might move up before I start and make this a 12 man, 3 division tier)


Tier 4: Those guys IMO that are at the low card status
2 divisions: 47 total matches (including 2 divisional fatal 4ways)
A: Darren Young, Fandango, Ryback, Curtis Axel
B: R-Truth, Damien Sandow, Santino Marella, Titus O'Neil


Playoffs: Division Champs plus 1 Wild Card (top division champ gets first round bye)


Promotion: Tournament winner gets promoted. Runner Up can challenge


Relegation: Bottom gets moved to Tier 5


NOTE: Could have a couple guys move into Tier 3 before I start and might have some guys from Tier 5 move up to start


Tier 5: Developmental guys for now
2 divisions: 47 total matches (including 2 divisional fatal 4ways)
A: Adrian Neville, Bo Dallas, Rusev, Xavier Woods
B: Corey Graves, Tyson Kidd, Sami Zayn, Justin Gabriel


Playoffs: Divisions Champs + 1 W.C. Top Division Champ gets first round bye.


Promotion: Tournament Champion moves up a tier.


Divas:
3-3 diva divisions: 55 matches (including 2 divisional Triple Threat and tournament)
A: Paige, Nikki Bella, Natalya
B: Tamika, Summer Rae, Cameron
C: AJ Lee, Brie Bella, Naomi


Tournament: Division Champs + 2 W.C. (Top division champ gets first round bye. Triple Threat Finals.)


No promotion or relegation as of yet


Tag:
2 divisions (43 total matches)
Haven't finalized teams yet but here is who I have as most likely in it.
The Uses
Wyatt Family
Dust Brothers
Big E and Kofi (probable)
Rybaxel (maybe)
Miz/Sandow (possibly)
The Ascension (most likely because there aren't enough developmental)


Depending on how quickly guys are available for download things might change but this is where I am with it so far. Also depending on the surprise guys


Also thinking of doing a legends one with 2 4 person divisions and run similar to the others ones set up like that.
A: Kevin Nash, Rick Flair, The Rock, Shawn Michaels
B: Hogan, Sting, SCSA, Ultimate Warrior


Guys like Undertaker might move into this and open up more spots in the Tiered system not including legends and allow more movement in between seasons.


Once downloads are available I would look at doing a tiered Legends division with 2 tiers.


I will probably run this outside of my Universe and just sim results and just have their records.


In Triple Threats and Fatal 4ways the person/people who don't get pinned get a draw for that match which definitely could effect standings.


I plan on putting together a spreadsheet to easily keep track of everything.


Gotta work on a schedule as well.


Hope you like it. I know there will be people who don't agree with placement but this is where and why they are placed where they are. I am also going off of their status as of after WM.

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

Updated Wrestlemania 31 card that I will likely use for Universe, 8 match card.

This is assuming Daniel Bryan isn't cleared by WM, and CM Punk decides to not return to the WWE.

Andre The Giant Battle Royal - I'll likely have a guy like Bad News Barrett win it and turn him face afterwards

Rusev vs Orton - Lana is going to cut some promos around Elimination Chamber time saying Rusev is still undefeated in the WWE, and that he is a legend, Orton's music hits and introduces himself as legend killer and RKO's Rusev setting up WM match.

Miz vs Sheamus vs Cesaro vs Adrian Neville vs Tyson Kidd vs Sami Zayn in a 6 man Ladder match for the INT/US championship - Think about how cool it would be to see Neville hit the red arrow off of a ladder and the excitement this match will bring.

Uso's vs The Ascension vs Big E & Kofi (if I can do triple threat tag) for the Tag Team Titles (if not just Usos vs Ascension) - I think the Uso's and The Ascension could put on a solid match, if you throw Kofi Kingston in any match it makes it that much more exciting too so hopefully him and Big E and Xavier Woods can start their team up pronto.

Bray vs Sting - If not Undertaker, Bray would definitely be the best opponent for Sting at WM31, think about the promos that would be cut between the two and just how interesting of a battle of characters the match would be.

HHH vs Rock - I know it'll be 2015, but seeing this match one more time would be nice for no real reason besides the fact that it's The Rock and HHH.

Cena vs Hogan - Just like HHH vs Rock, will be a big draw but not the best match, most likely will be used as an official passing of the torch down to John Cena (whether you like him or not)

Brock Lesnar vs Dean Ambrose vs Roman Reigns vs Seth Rollins - I'm going to have Ambrose win the Rumble, then since Brock refuses to compete at the EC, the Elimination Chamber match will be to make the match at WM a triple threat match, Reigns will win the match to make it a triple threat match, and the following night Seth Rollins announces that he will be cashing in his MITB contract at Wrestlemania to make it a Fatal 4 Way match between Lesnar, and the 3 former members of the Shield; I would like to see Lesnar get triple powerbombed through a table (as he exits the wwe, again.) and then the 3 members of the Shield go at it for the title.

What are your thoughts? Would you watch this Wrestlemania if this was the real card?

Hats not a bad idea, didn't even think about that. Just to play around with some things at least.

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

I guess i'll throw my projected WM card out there. Keep in mind I have 3 brands with strict crossover rules. John Cena is on RAW, and Orton is on SD, so they can't have a match. Thats just an example.

Also, this is very early. I don't even have my brands set up 100% so things will very likely change from now until I get to Wrestlemania.

PRE SHOW (Third Brand) Cruiserweight Championship: Adrian Neville vs. Tyson Kidd vs. Justin Gabriel vs. RVD

MATCH #1 KOTR TOURNAMENT FINALS: This is my replacement for the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal. (it's too early to tell who's gonna be in this, we'll just say Bo Dallas, Sheamus, and A.J Styles are possibilities.)

MATCH #2 Loser leaves the brand: Dean Ambrose vs. Randy Orton

MATCH #3 (RAW) Tag Team Championships: Erick Rowan & Luke Harper vs. Corey Graves & Baron Corbin

MATCH #4 WWE (THIRD BRAND) WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP: Alberto Del Rio vs. Stone Cold (Stone Colds return match, and win or lose his final match)

MATCH #5: The Rock & Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins & Chris Jericho

MATCH #6 (SD) Tag Team Championships : Big E & Kofi vs. Ryback & Cesaro

Match #7 (RAW) WWE CHAMPIONSHIP: John Cena vs. Rusev vs. Bray Wyatt

MATCH #8 (SD) WHC : Brock Lesnar vs. Daniel Bryan (Bryans return to the ring)

MATCH #6 (SD) Tag Team Championships : Big E & Kofi vs. Ryback & Cesaro

I will say a couple things about these matches.
First, love that you plan on brining back CW Championship
Love Rock teaming with his causing and Rollins with Y2J is intriguing.
The tag title match Ares interesting...I love the Baron Corbin/Corey Graves team idea (if there is a good Corbin I might have to do this as well). Not sure what I feel about Ryback and Cesaro (I think Cesaro should be higher up by WM). And NO Ascension in your tag title scene by WM surprises me.

Oh man, I'm gonna have to get the Ascension in there for sure. I completely forgot about them.

The CW title is something i'm really excited for. I think Adrian Neville was made to wear it.

Rollins and Jericho are gonna be the top heels on Raw for my first year, so I figured the Great one would come back to help his cousin take down the backstabbing Rollins and his friend Y2J.

I plan to have both Ryback and Cesaro reach main event status by WM, so that tag match is likely not happening. I just don't know how that brand is gonna look by WM as far as tag teams go.

Corbin/Graves is an idea I stole from someone else. It's a perfect tag team imo.

The things that will almost for sure change by WM

Cesaro/Ryback
Del Rio vs. Austin
Rusev vs. Wyatt vs. Cena

I think you meant backstabbing Rollins in your write up.
I would put Ascension on that brand you are struggling with.
As for CW I agree completely. Its something I brought up on a Facebook page as to whether or not the top guys in NXT right now (since all 4 who recently battled for the title are light heavyweights) will really get a real chance at holding the big title once they move up. Neville is my NXT LtHW Champion right now in my 2K14 Universe and will probably move up to my JrHW show soon. Not sure how long I run my 2K14 UNiverse.
