WWE 2K16 Universe Mode

Re: WWE 2K16 Universe Mode

Hi guys...


Not getting my game until Christmas, actually I already have it, but the wife got me an xbox and won't let me have it early.


Anyways, I plan on starting from WM31 and doing a little highlight package of what went on and then going into the first Raw with the roster as it was. (Sheamus coming back, Jey Uso out) My original plan was to keep everything as tight to real life as possible as far as the roster and who is available, but that was before I read of injuries and hot streaks. So how are injuries, do they happen frequently enough to book yourself into a whole, or are they non-existant like in previous games? If the injuries are frequent I'll probably start from WM and let things happen on their own. I don't plan on following WWE's bookings to the letter, as I feel in some ways I can be ALOT better. Boy do I have some EVIL plans for Cena!


I planned on recording every match for Raw and PPV's, but only do a highlight show for NXT/ME/SD! (do they still do Superstars)? I'll probably show the cards for the lesser shows and have people vote for match of the week, and show that entire match.


I plan on having over 50 caws of current wrestlers that will not be in this years game, mostly NXT guys. I'm hoping the future pack with Samoa Joe and company will be out by then.


Does this sound like anything you guys would watch, because I've already seen ALOT of universe mode on YouTube, and I just don't like the fantasy bookings with WCW/ECW/NJPW/RoH or whatever. So I feel that I'm at least a little fresh and different in that respect.


Let me know what you guys think...

Also, on a side note...


Are you guys simming through universe to unlock all of the stories first, or is that just for last-gen people? Because I think that could be why you guys aren't getting the cut-screens.

Has anyone seen teams forum or break up? The option is there, but it didn't happen last year.

The New Day split after the Extreme Rules PPV. What I have yet to see are injuries.

Re: WWE 2K16 Universe Mode

Does anyone know how in universe mode I can turn entrances ON permanently? Right now I have to exit out of every played match just to turn the entrance on, as opposed to just selecting next match.

You must have turned them off as default. When you go in to match options just turn them on and they should stay on.

I really wish they had more belts available per show in Universe Mode.

Re: WWE 2K16 Universe Mode

Can anyone give me a good idea of how often cut scenes trigger in Universe, i.e run-ins etc ?

Does it only happen with Rivalries ? If you have no Rivalries setup does it still happen at all, rarely or often?

Also if you have Rivalries turned off is everything pretty much random or will people still get in feuds and things like that?

This is one person's experience thus far, but it seems that cutscenes are only occuring during Rivalries, but they are occurring consistently in the Rivalries. I have three shows going in my Universe - Raw, NXT, and Smackdown - but due to varying reasons Raw has three official rivalries, NXT has none, and Smackdown has two. Consistently I get cutscenes on each show to go along with the rivalries.

Re: WWE 2K16 Universe Mode

How many superstars do you guys have on your shows on average? I'm setting up my universe and I have 3 brands. Raw has 50 plus 10 divas. NXT has 28 plus 8 Divas and Saturday Night Main Event(legends show) has 48 zero divas. I'm just not sure how many is too many in that you'll never see some superstars. I feel like in years past people have said between 30-40 is the sweet spot. Any tips or impressions appreciated.

Re: WWE 2K16 Universe Mode

I feel like anything about 30 may be a little excessive, but that's just my opinion. Think about it, you have the IC Title for Smackdown, The US title for RAW, the tag team titles for both brands, and the WWE World Heavyweight Title for both brands. I don't know how well the ranking system actually works this time around as I've just spent my time re-doing the attributes and actually have yet to play Universe. But last years ranking system was bad, especially if you had a bunch of people on a show. The ranking system didn't work anyway, so it was difficult seeing who you wanted catapault up the rankings with all those superstars. Few guys will actually get chances at title shots depending on how you play, and with 50 superstars on each show almost, you'll have a bunch of guys that you'll end up barely using because your show is so stacked.

Re: WWE 2K16 Universe Mode

I just got wwe 2k16 and I'd like to make a brand split. I don't like playing with legends or indies. I won't bring anyone from NXT over to the main show either, unless they are on the main roster currently. Do you guys have any tips how I should divide up Raw and Smackdown?

Re: WWE 2K16 Universe Mode

Does anyone here create CAW/CAS only universes? I skipped last year because I was getting tired of all the time spent creating wrestlers only to have the universe do nothing with cut scenes except the same 4-5.

Re: WWE 2K16 Universe Mode

Hey guys -

Was wondering if anyone had any tips for Universe Mode? I've been out of the wrestling loop for the better part of the last 10 years (slowly catching up on what's happened via WWE Network). Also haven't done a Universe Mode since 2012. I have a bunch of ideas but don't want to get too crazy and then get overwhelmed. Anyone have any tips for a new UM user? Much appreciated.
