The WWE Universe Thread

[ExtremeGamer]

Yeah, I noticed that, with the small cards, saw many people just disappear for months at a time when I was simming along last night.

I am enjoying Universe mode quite a bit thus far.

I updated the rosters and alliances/rivalries to mimic the exact WWE right now (all retired wrestlers are Legends and everyone who isn't with the company anymore like Batista, Jericho and so on is a Free Agent) and am having a blast.

I control CM Punk on Raw and basically just have him out to destroy everything in his path. I currently have him in a feud with Triple H that is getting pretty heated. I've also managed to form an alliance with Sheamus which has been very interesting to say the least. Sheamus is the reigning champion right now (he beat Orton clean) so I just always automatically DQ myself by beating up either Orton or Cena with a chair when I end up in number one contender matches as to keep my alliance with Sheamus intact for the time being. I don't care about chasing gold with Punk at all, just causing mayhem...

I control Christian on SmackDown and my goal with him is much different. I want to actually win the World Heavyweight Championship with him since he's never had a world title. I haven't been able to get him past the #3 contender spot for the WHC as of yet, but I did win the Intercontinental title at Extreme Rules in a legendary triple threat ladder match with Dolph Ziggler and Cody Rhodes. All I can do with Christian is keep on winning and hope my time comes soon...

If take someone off a free agent, can you re-add them back to being a free agent? I couldn't see the option.

I'm pretty sure you can, but I haven't changed anything since I started since I got my rosters perfect before starting anything.

EG, switch their brand to the WWE logo and they become a free agent.

I didn't have a lot of time to play last night, but universe so far looks really fun. I've been creating custom matches to go along with the ones that are generated, and they take some interesting turns. I was genuinely surprised when Drew McIntyre ambushed me from behind while his entrance music was playing.

55, I like the way you're playing your universe. Maybe I'll pick one person from each brand and play "RTWM" style, trying to get them to rise up the ranks.

I hate that it's limited to 4 matches, but I love the idea of WWEU albeit some of the issues. When you get tired of playing any of the other modes, WWEU just adds to the replayability. I played this for a few hours last night and I saw the same darn cutscene a good 3-4 times in a row. It was right after I win a match, Vince will come down and call out another superstar to wrestle. Has this happened to anyone else?

Yes I have seen that cutscene about 3-4 time now. Also seen the one with the guy in the front row a few times. Good thing about the other superstar coming down, at least for me, is it has been a locked guy. So I get to unlock them.

On the small cards. If you want to take the time, you can add more matches to the shows. I just look at who is feuding at the moment and if they aren't on the card I'll put some kind of match together for them.
