Thank you!

By the way, are there matches designated as "remarkable matches" before the show begins? What exactly are they? Also, if you choose just to play as one guy (say, Rhodes) and sim all the other matches, will you see cutscenes and storylines pertaining to other wrestlers, or only the ones the guy you play as is a part of. Last year the only cutscenes were before and after matches and thus all had to do with the guys I played as.

It's not the same as last year! Sure, it is something they should have fixed, but the excuse of they should have left it alone doesn't work because they made it into its own mode rather than a universal mode as it was before.

And I'm not sure why people think free agents should never show up on shows. They are free agents. I seem to remember in the past when guys were called "free agents", they showed up on all shows on TV in an attempt to get signed... or that was how the story went.

Seems odd how the WCW CAW kept showing up, but I think it can be worked around one way or another. Maybe check and make sure on options such as available roster for a show. Can we at least wait until the 22nd before we saw this and that are broken in this game? Sounds great to me still. And who says they don't patch it... as long as they don't have NCAA syndrome and break something else.

Have there been any injuries yet?

The closer we get to release the more I find myself wanting this game. I will say that all the titles and free agents showing up has me hitting the brakes though since the Universe is really the only mode I'll play.

You know, now that I think I have a pretty good idea how this new Universe works, I think it's perfectly acceptable. How else could they have accomodated the many different ways people will play the game. Some will want to use all the Legends in their Universe. Others will want a more realistic game. Some will want all the titles in play, others won't. The way it's set up now allows for that flexibility. Could the same thing have been accomplished in a less confusing way? Probably. But as long as these fixes are permanent -- and only more time will tell -- I'm OK with the way it's working now.

Okay so basically here's how this could work as I understand it....

take all the titles I have no use for, stick them on some random person (I'll do a CAW named Vacant) and I'll assign them to FCW. if for some reason "Vacant" still pops up on shows, I'll just edit the match to replace him with someone else. I say that simply because I'd like to use everybody in Universe.

If you want to keep everybody in your Universe, but not see Chavo come out wearing the Cruiserweight title, this is how to do it. Be aware, though, that your CAW will still be involved in angles (at least mine was until I deleted him).

And the Royal Rumble winner was...WWWYKI!


No, I wasn't using him either, so there was no setup here. The final four were Undertaker, HBK, Punk and Ryder. It came down to HBK and Ryder and Ryder won it to earn the spot in the main event of Wrestlemania.

Something cool about Universe is how one show transitions into the next...I just had the Royal Rumble, and after the credits rolled I was taken straight to the start of beginning of Raw the following night and the opening match. Neat.
