have you been able to figure out what to do with excess titles in Universe mode?

No, I don't think this is possible because the Thursday show draws from the rosters of the two primary shows (Monday and Friday). You can't have a separate brand strictly for the Thursday show. To do what you're describing is possible, I suppose, but it would take a lot of work on your part to edit the matches on each show every week to keep TNA guys off of Raw and Smackdown, and Raw and Smackdown guys off of TNA.

It's from the top rope, but it still looks pretty cool.

My biggest thing is replayability and fun factor so would you trade in Fight Night Champion for WWE 12?

Given that PSN is selling fight night champion for $4.99, I don't think any game store is gonna give you a lot for it...

Also, do you have to have a title match to change the belts, or can you just assign them. For instance, if you want ADR to be the champ, does he have to beat whoever starts with the title, or can you just assign him as the champ before your Universe starts. Thanks for the help.

I've heard that the first show is the first Raw of January.

On the flip are there any changes to the abilities besides the addition of comeback?

It is still a Raw championship, only held by a person from a different brand.

Is this true of champions being drafted? So if I have my Universe set up to reflect reality and Mark Henry is drafted to Raw, will he continue to defend the World Heavyweight Championship against Smackdown guys until he loses it, then be out of the title picture on Smackdown completely?

Similarly, if Henry is on Raw with the World Heavyweight Championship, will he also be in the rankings for the WWE title and have a chance at winning both?

Finally, I too would like a quick breakdown of the abilities in the game and how effective they are (in your opinion). Resiliency and comebacks sound awesome, but I'll be playing as The Miz and Cody Rhodes and somehow I don't see either of these being options for heels. What kind of abilities can I expect from them?

Edit: One more (sorry): How many allies and enemies can a person have?

I read that champions do not get drafted.
