Last year, being a free agent meant you were no longer a part of the Universe. That's terrible! Also, the belts thing is horrible too. Both of these were not issues in last year's game, so why change it? I would hold out hope this will be patched, but THQ is notorious for not doing that.

The more I think about the Legends thing, it may have something to do with the lack of tag teams in the game by default as those were the legends being re-inserted into my Universe. I wonder if I created a few more tag teams if that would eliminate Demolition and the Road Warriors from showing up? Something to try when I get home :-)

Oh, I also tried breaking up those tag teams to prevent them from showing up, but I couldn't because both teams are title holders and tag title holders can't be split up. I could have reassigned those belts to a different team though. Might try that.

Do that and put all the titles you wish to vacate on a wrestler in WCW and see how the game plays.

I'll also put all Divas in WCW too so there are more male matches/feuds (since I don't play as the Divas). If you could try that and make sure it works, that'd be great!

Definitely. And there are mixed tag matches this year, in case anyone cares. Were those in SvR last year?

Wth! This was def not a issue last year.

If it isn't broke don't fix it!

Maybe it's a bug

Btw did you confirm and save before exiting the menu? Last year you couldn't do anything without confirming and saving..

I thought about this, too. Maybe I needed to manually load my settings or something before starting up a new Universe. I'll try this and see what happens.

[goh]

The commentary seems to be even worse than the early videos in these newer ones. Cole must've been sick or literally phoned it in,possibly both. I don't understand why they'd even spend time on it if it's going to be that awful. Can turn it off of course (and hopefully it doesn't turn off the intros as well this year) but who would decide this is acceptable? That should knock the sound rating down to 6 alone. I realize there's time issues for recording but yeesh.

Did you get to check on the downloads for silver jrider?

It wasn't an issue last year because Universe and Exhibition crossed over. They are separate now. Let's just chill a bit before assuming what can and can't be done. He says he hasn't done much with the SVR series so let's give him a chance to go through things or at least until more have looked at the game before we call it broken.

Yeah, I'm certainly not ready to declare anything broken at this point. I've only played for a couple hours over two days now. That's not nearly enough time to make a judgment on anything. Besides, I know I haven't exhausted all possible solutions yet, and you guys have given me some more things to check into. I'll get in touch with the guys at THQ tomorrow and see if they can offer any advice, too. Definitely not time to hit the panic button yet!
