Also, will there be an actual KOTR arena? That was weird that it took place in the Over the Limit arena.

Not sure what arenas will be on disc, but the reason for it being in the Over the Limit arena is that they just did a quick edit of an already scheduled Over the Limit PPV and changed it to the KOTR tournament (though why they changed the logo when they did that, but not the arena and matchup screen, I don't know).

At the very least, you'll be able to use a custom arena.

A lot of changes I like particularly the rivalry manager, I"m glad it can set up rivalries by itself though. I'm not very creative but it's nice you have the option to go in and set up the rivalries that you want. I also like the new random attire feature. For people talking about A.I I have talked to one of the playtesters on the 2k Sports forums and he says it is better this year. I'm not really sure how much better but he said that it is no longer going after constant OMG moments. I really hope the AI has improved well. AI makes or breaks these games a lot of times.

Disagree. Won't blow anyone away, but not a terrible game.

So the idea that if there is a rivalry, those two wrestlers still wrestle every week in tables and casket matches is still there? Me no like...

Hey guys,
So, since yesterday I've been seeing some confusion about how the rivalry manager works. Some folks have assumed that setting a rivalry between two Superstars will cause them to have a match every single week on their respective show. That is absolutely not the case, and I'm not even sure where that rumor came from.

Now, it is possible - especially with a shortened rivalry - that two Superstars might have a match every week of the rivalry. But that's something that happens on WWE television as well sometimes with shorter rivalries.

In most cases, when storylines are allowed to play out, you'll see...other stuff happen in addition to just regular matches: Cutscenes, matches with other opponents, etc.

Getting ahead of some of the "But-but-buts!" I've seen some places...In the livestream, we simulated a full month to get ahead to a pay-per-view, so you don't actually get to see what happened during that entire month. Apparently some confusion arises from the fact that when we looked at the rivalry history, it showed a bunch of matches and outcomes. But, if you look again, you'll see that not all of those matches are tagged as involving BOTH Bryan and Orton.

I hope this clears things up for folks, as I was a little concerned when I saw people taking potshots at Rivalry Manager. Frankly, it's the biggest step forward Universe Mode has ever made, and if you want to get involved with it, will completely change the way your Universe operate, for the better.

If you don't believe me, ask some of the folks who were at our playtests, forum regulars like RAWFShowtime, Miketheratguy and CyberOcelot.

Got a lot going on right now (as you can probably imagine), so I won't be commenting in this thread too much, but just wanted to get some clarification out there for you guys.

Thanks for posting that

Re: WWE 2K14 Universe Mode Detailed

I am still praying for backstage promos, backstage attacks, and in-ring promos. These would be perfect for the Rivalries. But it must be very difficult to incorporate, since it's been 4 years already and still no signs of these. Is there a reason why they can't do this, even though WWF No Mercy and WWF Smackdown 2 did it easily?

New this year are custom rivalries, which will allow you to set up your own feuds throughout the course of the mode. The rivalry manager allows you to have short or long rivalries, and they can begin and end and different times.
Improved menus which will have news, rankings and statistics within your own personal Universe.
The game will also set up rivalries by itself if you choose not to use the manager.
You can now manager wrestler attires within the mode. You can customize the look of each wrestler as you move through the mode.

You can now set up an actual King of the Ring PPV in Universe Mode complete with the tournament along with other matches within the card. This is accomplished via the PPV editor, which also gives you the option to select a 'No Man's Land" PPV theme, which features a PPV built around different cage matches.

Bolded what I care about. Sounds good to me, I am surely getting WWE 2K14.

I have so many ideas I'm going to do with my Universe it aint even funny

Re: WWE 2K14 Universe Mode Detailed

I stated this in another thread.

The rivalry system will hopefully allow for better immersion. Also, I hope lower level guys are not able to compete unless I either adjust ratings or a "push" system is implemented. If I want to push a Funaki type guy how do I upgrade him to compete with HHH?
