Christian should. I thought he had his Edge & Christian days attire in.

I'm betting you unlock attires for those guys.

E&C attire is DLC. Was hoping for a surprise alt attire of MITB or SS for Punker

Hey there, man. I was lurking around, checking your opinions on WWE '12, but I didn't have an account.

However, I saw your question about really wanting to know about why you can vacate in Exhibition and not in Universe, and wondering how to do this.

Unfortunately, I have news and it isn't terribly good. Marcus Stephenson was recently asked this on his Twitter and he had this to say: "In exhibition you can vacate. In Universe you can't, you can replace. Options > Title Settings"

^ it's there if you scroll down a bit, added for accuracy and source. (Sorry, it wouldn't let me post links, but i'm sure you know his twitter, anyway)

Seems as if what you'll have to do is stick them on someone you have no intention of playing if you don't want that title appearing. Sorry to be the bearer of that news. I still remain positive in the quality of the rest of the game, however much of an oversight this title vacation, (or lack therefore being able to do so) is.

Also, I would like to thank you for giving us your impressions on the game.

Alright guys, I think I have this figured out -- with your help, of course. I created a jobber and assigned him to WCW, then assigned all of the non-current titles to him. That solved the problem of guys coming to the ring wearing titles that shouldn't exist in my Universe.

I also moved all the Legends I didn't want around in my Universe to WCW and that seems to have solved that problem. Now I'm going to sim a bit and see if they pop back up.

Will post results in a few minutes.

Good to hear.

It's good you can assign multiple titles to a wrestler. This makes me a little more happy!

Have you noticed a difference between the "main eventers" and the first card wrestlers? In other words, the Undertakers should always beat the Santinos...

Well apparently if you bring a created superstar into the Universe mode, they will find their way onto the card no matter where they are assigned.

The guy I created as a dumpster for unwanted titles kept showing up on Raw, even though he was assigned to WCW with the rest of the legends.

I had to slap the all the titles on Arn Anderson and then delete the created wrestler to get him out of my Universe.

Other than that, not seeing any issues, unless you count Heath Slater winning a match as a bug.

But once you put all the titles on Arn Anderson, did he stay in the WCW? Or does he appear on RAW as well?

I'm guessing you're referring to when matches are simmed. If so, the results are somewhat predictable, although when you sim a "remarkable match" the results can be unexpected, but that's because something happens in those matches like interference or some other angle-shifting event.

I've simmed up the Royal Rumble and the card looks like this (Winners are in parentheses)

IC title match: Cody Rhodes vs. Sin Cara (Sin Cara)
US title match: Dolph Ziggler vs. Goldust (Goldust)
Divs title match: Kelly Kelly vs. Maryse (KK)
WWE Championship match: ADR vs. ....David Otunga (I think this was a result of me deleting my created wrestler. Otunga was nowhere near the top of the list of contenders) (ADR thank God)
World Championship: Mark Henry vs. Randy Orton (Orton)
Royal Rumble match
