WWE '13 Wishlist...

[Hyperballer21]

More customization for the wrestlers. This has taken a step back since the n64 days. I can't speak for everyone, but I'll a minor step back in player models in order to achieve the following.

Create an Attire. Taking a step beyond superstar threads. Allow us to create a wardrobe. Each attire would have an associated wrestling gear/entrance/backstage.

Allow each superstar/diva to have have up to five attires.
1) attires 1-3 should be wrestling gear
-each attire should have an associated backstage and entrance set like with CAW
-attire 4 should be "speacial official". Essential a backstage attire with an official top.
-attire 5 could be an unlockable attire. Could be a past gimic.

2) all attires should be editable. More than the ability to change colors. They way this can be achieved is to separate clothing from the player model's skin. This can be tied into "Create an Attire" so we can assign any create attire to a superstar/diva.

Lots of great stuff in here.

For my play-style, I'd really like it if they merged RtWM and Universe. Just give me the option to play as an omnipotent GM or go through as a wrestler.

Merge storylines into Universe as well. Use them (both prepackaged and created) and insert branching points so that they can diverge into and out of each other. A storyline could either start from scratch or from a match victory condition, or from an injury, or a return from an injury etc.

Example: If a wrestler fails Story A midway through by losing a match, instead of Story A ending abruptly, it just transitions to Story B (or C or D if they're applicable) which begins with a match loss. In these cases, the stories are, more or less, set up generically so the specific wrestlers involved can be culled from whichever wrestler's allies and rivals, etc. This would, ideally, be seamless inside Universe.

Give me my stats, detailed match reports, and ability to customize the Universe booker. Let me tailor the types of matches (their frequency, etc.), feuds, etc. that I want to see. make important information and options easy to find.

Streamline the CPU vs. CPU action to give me options to do stuff as the match is played. Why can't I edit the next match while I watch one if I want. Why can't I decide to interfere as a match unfolds?

The commentary is dreadful.

• Reference past match results
• Talk about current feuds
• Get rid of some of the horrible dialog
• Figure out a way to stop needlessly repeating wrestler names

I want my managers and valets.

Steal the wrestler AI customization from Fire Pro then raise it up some notches.

I'd love to see them bring back GM Mode or combine GM mode with Universe Mode. GM mode was great and I think if it was brought back and combined with Universe Mode by adding in the ability to add stipulations, feuds, storylines to Universe and also getting more news, injuries, ratings, etc, the mode would be great

I'd say combine them. Heck, I think they should combine everything into Universe! But adding the GM stuff back in (as play style/option? as a backstage view?) is a no-brainer.

One other thing:

A change in the momentum system and opponent AI that makes decisions following mundane moves less frequent. For example, at no point in the match should I lose to a hip toss, regardless how beat up my guy is or how bad I suck at the kickout system. The AI flat-out shouldn't go for covers after any moves that aren't groggy grapples or finishers, and human players should have no trouble kicking out of pins performed after moves that weren't from the preceding scenarios.

I want Blood online. Bring back championship belts for online play. And they really need to fix the servers.

Universe online, where you can invite your friends to be a part of it and have your own private fed with your friends.

I've been saying the same thing for the past 2 years or so.

Unless I butcher the attributes, PPV type speciality matches aren't as fun as it should be.

Case and point, the elimination chamber. I can clear the ring in a heart beat once everyone is damaged enough to pin..If momentum was more important than damage, this would not be the case...
