WWE 2k15- What are your Plans for Universe Mode

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

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.

Yeah I fixed it to say Rollins.

The NXT situation is interesting. Tyler Breeze doesn't have a chance at a world title imo, Neville is a stretch, Kidd hasn't even come close in 5 years. The only guy I think has a good chance in real life is Sami Zayn. Even then he would need Daniel Bryan fan support.

I think the Ascension will end up on Smackdown, but then they can't face Big E & Kofi because they're both heels. If I can somehow keep the Usos away from them for an entire year that would work.

I haven't bought a wwe game since 13, can't remember exactly what these stories someone brought up means, like where you can choose five stories/rivalries at a time. What is this in the universe mode?

If you are using a promotion/relegation type deal you might want to try and do rankings yourself. I dont think the rankings in the game have ever been real accurate IMO based on results. They seem pretty random.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean. You can make three rivalries per brand using the rivalry manager.

That's what I'm asking about, what exactly does that do?

Also does the universe mode start the Monday after Wrestlemania?

Universe in WWE 2K15 will start the night after Wrestlemania 29.

The rivalry manager books matches around the rivalries you create and makes cutscenes happen to develop the rivalry. The main problem in 2K14 was that it would usually just book the same match over and over.

So lets say I do Cena vs. Rock as a rivalry before Wrestlemania. The cpu will book Cena vs. Rock on every single RAW before the ppv, and on the PPV it will be Cena vs. Rock again. That of course isn't how rivalries are booked in real life so the rivalry manager was a bit of a flop.

Hopefully they worked on it in 2k15.

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

i am gonna pull Punk and Del Rio off mine and put Neville and Zayn in their place and i plan on making the midcard relevant and make the IC and/or US titles mean something, i might make a system if someone holds the midcard title for 3 months or make 6 defenses of the said title can vacate the title for a shot at the world title

This was my big gripe with Universe last year. I did a Jericho/Bryan feud when I started the mode and got 4 straight Extreme Rules matches on every RAW before a 5 Extreme Rules match at the Extreme Rules PPV. I'd like to think that since 2K had a full year on this title that this works much better than it did in 2K14 which I put down to crappy development from THQ before they went belly up.

I completely agree. I hated that when you set up a rivalry EVERY match was some specialty match. I stopped using them because I was sick of having specialty matches all the time.

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

I'm going to have 42 Superstars on WWE, 16 (2 custom) on NXT, and then 8 divas to start with. I'll add on as we get DLC and I add in more customs

But I'll leave the PPV schedule as it stands.

My plans is to do a KOTR style tournament to end at Money in the Bank. Leave the finals as the first match at MitB and then the main event to be the champ vs the tournament winner.

This also leaves I can take 6 at large losers of the tournament to place in the MitB match.

I'll book it where there are more heels in the top of the bracket and more faces in the bottom, and try to make storyline matches.

First round match on Raw (4 weeks til MitB)

- Two Tag teams will square off leaving the winners to face each other next week on Raw. (this can set up a turn and break up of a tag team)
- Fatal 4 (#9,10,11,12) way where the winner faces the #4 ranked opponent.

First Round & Second Round matches (3 weeks til MitB)

- Tag winners face each other to face the #1 seed
- #5 ranked vs #6 ranked
- #7 vs #8

Quarterfinals (2 weeks til MitB)

- #1 vs Tag Team winner
- #4 vs Fatal 4 way winner
- #3 vs (winner of #5 vs #6)
- #2 vs (winner of #7 vs #8)

Semi-Finals (1 week til MitB)

- (Winner of #1 vs Tag) vs (Winner of #4 vs Fatal 4 way)
- (Winner of #3 & #5/#6) vs (Winner of #2 & #7/#8)

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

I just read about how the Current Gen will only hold 25 CAW Spots rather than the 100 that will be held by Last Gen Consoles, reason being the graphics involved in the Current Gen takes up a lot of space or something.

That being said, I've noticed a lot of people upset about this but realistically most people won't create or download more than 25 superstars.

Even if I make 10 Created Guys, that leave 15 spots for NXT guys or WWE guys that weren't included so I don't think it's as big an issue as some are making it seem.

My question is, if you have 10-15 spots for guys that were left out of this game for CAW's, who would you download?

Hoping a couple of good NXT females (Bayley, Charlotte, Sasha Banks)
Probably a couple of other NXT guys (Corbin, Breeze, Itame, Balor, Steen, maybe a tag team or two)
Also hoping for an awesome AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Bobby Roode, some other TNA guys.

Its going to be tough for sure but I dont plan on doing many original guys, just a couple for MyCareer and also gonna have to waste a couple spots possibly on new attires.

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

The whole 25 caw slot deal changes a lot of things.

If I want a third brand I have to limit myself to 11 NXT caws, 10 caws for the third brand, The My Career character, and then 3 slots for custom attires. 2 of the custom attire slots will be Rollins and Ambroses singles attires... so 1 custom attire slot to play around with... I'm not sure if that will work, but it might. I really want that third brand.

No chance for divas in the universe considering I have no room for NXT divas.

Also as NXT stars get called up, the NXT roster will eventually have less than 15 wrestlers and i'll have to abolish it. That really sucks.

Yeah I'm trying to figure out what to do once guys are moving up to the main brand.
