WWE 12 Retail Early Impressions

[ctr05]

I saw someone ask if the Undisputed title is Unified to both Raw and Smackdown if it's selected...do you know anything about that?

I haven't played a wrestling title probably since 07 and I'm interested in 12 and this universe mode.

Could I essentially run my own brands? If I wanted to remove 70% of the current wrestlers and replace them with created ones, could I do that and have my own universe without any of the currents showing up in it?

I would say yes. I ran universe with my friend last year with 100% created wrestlers.

Why couldn't you? Sure you couldn't have it "set-up" perfectly beforehand, but you can go match by match and set-up. Say you have the Final-Four on PPV.

Shawn Michaels
Chris Jericho
Alex Wright
Sin Cara Negro

Match #1 - Shawn Michaels vs. Chris Jericho
Jericho wins.

Match #2 - Alex Wright vs. Sin Cara Negro
Wright wins.

(I'd add in a step here, where I'd go in and knock down both guys attributes a little, to make them "weaker" after already wrestling in the event).

Match #3 - King of the Ring - Alex Wright vs. Chris Jericho.

So your card could look like;

King of the Ring Semi-Final
Chris Jericho vs. Shawn Michaels

King of the Ring Semi-Final
Alex Wright vs. Sin Cara Negro

World Heavyweight Championship
Randy Orton (c) vs. Christian

Tag Team Championships
Air Boom (c) vs. Zig-Swag

WWE Championship
CM Punk (c) vs. The Rock

King of the Ring Finals
Alex Wright vs. Chris Jericho

He would have to confirm if we can change the card while it is in progress. If not, you could only have the KOTR final match, so again, lame.

I'm hearing comments about not being able to reset universe. So my question is how do you start a 2nd universe if you want different wrestlers in them because you got the Legends DLC months later and you want them in your universe. Do you have to delete a save file or reinstall the whole game again or can you start a 2nd universe and ignore the 1st like you can do with seasons for other sports games.

Or is it possible to change the roster in the middle of an existing universe?

Last year we could change the card match by match, even after you've played a match - so I don't see why that would change.

Before each show can you set the matches up, like all 4 custom matches on Raw, then start the event?So you dont have to go back to the title screen the set the next match.
