Even if I make 10 Created Guys, that leave 15 spots for NXT guys or WWE guys that weren't included so I don't think it's as big an issue as some are making it seem. My question is, if you have 10-15 spots for guys that were left out of this game for CAW's, who would you download?

Hoping a couple of good NXT females (Bayley, Charlotte, Sasha Banks)
Probably a couple of other NXT guys (Corbin, Breeze, Itame, Balor, Steen, maybe a tag team or two)
Also hoping for an awesome AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Bobby Roode, some other TNA guys.

Its going to be tough for sure but I dont plan on doing many original guys, just a couple for MyCareer and also gonna have to waste a couple spots possibly on new attires.

The whole 25 caw slot deal changes a lot of things.

If I want a third brand I have to limit myself to 11 NXT caws, 10 caws for the third brand, The My Career character, and then 3 slots for custom attires. 2 of the custom attire slots will be Rollins and Ambroses singles attires... so 1 custom attire slot to play around with... I'm not sure if that will work, but it might. I really want that third brand.

No chance for divas in the universe considering I have no room for NXT divas.

Also as NXT stars get called up, the NXT roster will eventually have less than 15 wrestlers and i'll have to abolish it. That really sucks.

Yeah I'm trying to figure out what to do once guys are moving up to the main brand.

Can also move lower guys down, but yeah it'll be interesting. This also keeps rosters down as well.

I'm trying to figure this out. I might have to go another year with only 2 brands, which really sucks because I really like the way my third brand was looking. The roster isn't meant to be spread three ways. Even if I had 10 caws i'd have around 20 guys per brand, which is too small of a number for me.

So now I have 11-13 NXT caws that I need, and 12-14 other slots to fill out RAW and Smackdown, or to use the superstar editor.

This sorta sucks, but I'm still really hyped.

So I finally decided to go two brands and NXT, maybe i'll do some kind of live event thing every now and then.

Heres my caw roster:

1) My Career Character
2) Aiden English
3) Baron Corbin
4) Bull Dempsey
5) Enzo Amore
6) Finn Balor
7) Hideo Itami
8) Kevin Owens
9) Mojo Rawley
10) Simon Gotch
11) Tyler Breeze
12) Matt Hardy
13) John Morrison
14) Chris Masters
15) Evan Bourne
16) Shelton Benjamin
17) D-Von
18) Bubba Ray Dudley
19) Dean Ambrose (current attire)
20) Seth Rollins (current attire)


The reason that it's such a weird collection of guys is because I looked at alumni that WWE would realistically sign. The My Career character won't appear in my Universe, numbers 2-11 are NXT stars, 12-18 are guys that can declare for the fantasy draft at the beginning of the universe, and 19-25 are for the superstar editor.

Overall I think this works pretty well.

I would add in Colin Cassady to team with Amore and possibly the Lucha Dragons for another tag team. I dont think you'll need too many spots for superstar editor especially if you have already planned on Rollins and Ambrose.

Here is my possible plan (and could also put in alternate attires for Ambrose, Rollins, and Stardust)
I'm not a fan of Dempsey or Rawley so really have no desire to have either of them in my Universe. Will probably get Kevin Owens in at some point after he debuts as well.

As for my 25 CAW spots.
I will look for Bayley, Charlotte, Sasha Banks and probably one more NXT female(s) to begin. (4 spots)
I will also look for a good Balor, Itame, Breeze, and maybe a couple more using 3-6 spots. (7-10 total)
I will look for a probably 3 tag teams which use 6 spots. (13-16 spots total)
I will create one face and one heel for MyCareer using 2 spots. (14-17 spots)
That still leaves 8-11 spots for me to grab other guys I want to use.
I will look for a couple of TNA/ROH/Indy/Japan guys to probably fill the rest of my roster....Samoa Joe, AJ Styles, Bobby Roode, Austin Aries, James Storm

I know its not perfect but trying to make the best of the situation. If Paige is on my main roster I will probably add one more female to my NXT roster to even it out. The following would be my thoughts from the beginning. In the column on the right has other possible people I might pick up as well.

1	NXT	Finn Balor
2	NXT	Hideo Itame
3	NXT	Tyler Breeze
4	NXT	Baron Corbin
