Didn't mess with adrenaline rate. It seems like that's only there to keep people from spamming running attacks. I'm not sure exactly what it does, but that's what I've noticed.

I would, but I know me and I'd wind up buying back NHL 12 a month or two later.

I just got this and if anyone in Tanzania (err.yah East Africa) wants to know, just give me a shout! No seriously!

Ok, first wrestling game since WWE Vs SVR 2007 (not counting All Stars) and I love it! Great controls, graphics have that little "matte" look to it, kinda glossy IMO.

Now, I am on the PS3 and I cant get online! I never got a game this early before and I got the online pass, tried even doing a 7 day pass but it says "Servers Not Available"

Is this normal or is it also because PSN down? When do the servers actually come up? Thanks y'all!

This is because PSN is down due to maintenance. It should be back up by midnight Pacific time.

Not sure what time that is in East Africa, however.

Sharing save files on the PS3 is pretty easy so it might be possible, unless it is locked.

There are combined rankings for the unified titles, but seperate rankings for the minor belts that are brand-specific. That's the good news. Creating a unified singles title does, in fact, end the brand split for all intents and purposes. You will see Raw guys fighting other Raw guys on Smackdown and vice versa. You will also see some upper mid-card guys get bumped to Superstars because there simply aren't enough matches to go around on the two main shows. The biggest issue I saw involved the draft. Because the game no longer recognizes brands, you had draft pick matches after Wrestlemania that pitted Raw vs. Raw and Smackdown vs. Smackdown. They weren't all like that, but it did happen. Just some things to consider if you want to make a unified champion...

Cool thanks man. I'm not too worried about the Draft because if I merge the brands I'll just pretend the draft isn't happening.

So just to clarify. IF you end the brand split with Unified titles. Do the Smackdown guys get matched up against the Raw guys on each show? Or do they still only face each other, it just happens on both shows? Also if they do wrestle each other, will Raw guys all of a sudden show up on the contenders list for the Smackdown minor title and vice versa.

Again like others have said, thank you very much for taking the time to answer our questions.

You will have Raw guys vs. Smackdown guys on both shows, as well as Raw vs. Raw and Smackdown vs. Smackdown. The cross-promotional matches don't seem to affect the minor titles though. I never saw a Raw guy show up in the rankings for the IC title.

you could share the file for the 360 as well. would be great if someone would share a file, all edited, at the start of the universe mode etc.
