WWE '13 Universe Mode Thread - How's Your's Going?

[rmcguire]

the problem with assigning them to inactive is it says that I have to have 15 superstars on Smackdown....Im doing the exact same thing with and Attitude Era universe with Raw is War on Monday night as a major show and Smackdown on Thursday as a minor show so using the same roster......and only Attitude Era wrestlers....

If I have all current WWE superstars assigned to shows which don't air will they randomly show up on Raw is War or my Thursday smackdown?

Been away from Wrestling for a few years now but have been getting back into it lately. Credit to my Rosters and Universe set goes to "gib006" at THQ forum: http://wwe.thq.com/go/thread/view/13...ode-setup?pg=1

The spreadsheet he came up with is great IMO.

Finally got my Rosters set up for my WWE universe. I need to figure out the shows I want to do. Here are my rosters that I decided to go with:

I may have 3 shows a week (Raw, ECW, and Smackdown) and do a Saturday night main event to include all 3 rosters. Havent decided yet.

I may also put the McMahons on the RAW rosters as well since I enjoyed the Attitude era storyline the WWE incorporated back in the day

In addition to Raw and Smackdown, I have a TNA Impact show set up where the roster is a mix of TNA and Indy CAWs as well as wrestlers in the game I want to use, but not on the WWE shows, such as Vader, Nash, Shamrock, and Booker T.

I only have 1 PPV set up for now until there are more custom arenas to download. That PPV is Bound for Glory, and I just completed it. In the opening match, it booked a 6 man battle royal for the TV championship. The participants were Jeff Hardy, Colt Cabana, Vader, RVD, AJ Styles, and Jack Evans (controlled by me). Vader was an absolute beast in that match. It came down to Evans, Styles, and Vader. Vader was eliminated, but he had to be double-teamed to do so, and then I was able to eliminate Styles so that Evans won the title. The main event was Kurt Angle vs Samoa Joe (controlled by me) for the Impact world title with the match set to the epic setting. At first, I was dominating, but slowly Angle started coming back, and eventually got his finisher, but lucky for me, he hit it outside of the ring, so he didn't get to the pin. I eventually got the win, but it was a good, back and forth match.

I was worried about how the computer would book a created PPV from a created show with created titles, but it worked out really well.

not sure if you mentioned earlier whether or not you have Smackdown! set as a major show, but if you just set it as a minor show, you can set it to use the same roster as your Monday (primary) show. Then, go to each PPV and make sure that RAW is War/Attitude era is the only roster assigned to the PPVs.

To answer your other question - I went through 2 weeks of shows with the current guys still assigned to RAW and Smackdown!, and none of them showed up on my shows. But, I went through and tried to make them all Inactive before I suggested that to you, and it worked just fine for me.


EDIT - also, I have 2 weeks worth of shows typed up on my other computer, that I intend to post as soon as I'm back on there.

Have you guys got into actual story lines? All I have seen are run ins. I'm 2 months in.

Same here! Except I'm not as far in. Hopefully this is just a fluke.

Anyway, I came here to say that I just had the best match of my WWE video game career (and I've played a lot of matches). It was Jericho v CM Punk (I'm CM Punk), with the pacing of the match being normal. The first 10 minutes were pure technical spectacle, with both guys getting in their fair share of reverses and shots in. Then, the next five or so minutes consisted of a brutal attack from both of them. CM Punk gets put into a Walls of Jericho, but barely makes it to the ropes. With the momentum, CM Punk hits Jericho with his signature bulldog before climbing the turnbuckle to give Jericho a flying elbow to hopefully end it.

But wait! Jericho gets up, and puts a codebreaker on CM Punk mid-air! Chills literally crept up my spine. Not to mention that earlier in the show, Brotus Clay put Zach Ryder through the barricade and made him get DQed. Outside of what PVarck just mentioned, this game is golden to me right now.

Have you finished the AE mode yet, PVarck? I know that you have to unlock a lot of the available storylines from there, so that might be it. I know I haven't finished AE yet.

Haven't finished it yet. I'm stuck on the damn Royal Rumble.

In my second week of my AE Universe Faaroq turned on Bradshaw after their tag match and their Tag Team was removed from the universe. They are rivals now. Not huge but at least something besides a run-in.
