    What is Universe mode?

    Hi guys,

    I'm considering buying this game, it looks and sounds great. I haven't played a wrestling game since PS2 - I am wondering what is universe mode?
    Thanks.

    think of it as a "franchise" mode, you can set your roster any way you see fit, you can set your weekly shows to your liking if you wanted raw, main event, NXT, smackdown, superstars you could, you can't set a weekly show on Sundays because thats when your PPVs happen

    you can also set rivalries to go 4, 8 or 12 weeks but keep in mind you can only set three rivalries per major show there are also stories you can unlock so your feuds (which i reccomend simming a few years to unlock the 861 pieces for it)

    you can also change titles in and out as well, if you would rather have the ECW TV title instead of the US title then you can do that, if there are certain wrestlers you don't wanna use you can move them to the inactive tab i think i covered the major bases of Universe mode

        Wow. Haven't played universe yet. Waiting for DLC to actually work. Will simming a few years to unlock everything cause your wrestlers to age? Does the calendar change to let's say 2021 if I sim 6 or 7 years? Will Season Pass unlock these stories in Universe already?

          Simming a few years will unlock the majority of the stories you can use.

          No they will not age.

          Yes on the calender(I believe)

          And no it wont unlock the universe stories.

            Would you recommend simming ahead to unlock the stories and then simply restarting your universe mode?

              You beat me to it. I was just about to ask the exact same thing. I would hate starting my Universe in 2022 just because I wanted to unlock all the stories.

                  Random question..
                  Is it possible to set my universe this way?

                  Raw Major- Heavyweight Belt
                  Raw Minor- Intercontinental

                  Smackdown Major- Intercontinental

                  Smackdown Minor- US Title

                  I did this for 2k14 with a workaround I found somewhere which involved me deleting the Smackdown Brand and vacating the Intercontinental Title to trick the system. I wish I had bookmarked it for times like this

                    I wouldn't see why you couldn't. Not sure you need a workaround though. Just put IC as main title on SD. If it wont let you just take it out as the secondary title on RAW then put it as main title first and then secondary title. You might have to vacate it but I don't see that as tricking anything as you can put the same title as the main or mid. Never tried anything like that but I was think you could.

                      I used the same trick in past years. This year it s3ems to be playing out perfectly with the WWE WH Championship as the major belt for both brands and the US Title as the Raw Singles title and the IC Title as the SD Singles Title. I just swap guys around brands to set up fuels since there's no real brand split now.

                        I have a question and this seems like the best place to ask, if I'm playing the Universe Mode do I have to play every single match to the see the story lines and such or can I simulate the matches and still see the cut scenes and story development? I haven't played this series that's why I ask. Thanks.
                        .. oh well, maybe next year..

                          You can watch CPU vs CPU and still see cut scenes. If you just simulate everything without watching the match then cutscenes are ignored.
