I may even dive into movesets

SVR06 was the last "great" WWE game to me. I used some moveset from various people at gamefaqs which made things much more "realistic" and overall the matches just looked better.

With the AI being more challenging and with the right edits, I think WWE '12 could be a darn good game.

No, I tried to do that I got a message saying each time saying that the tag belts had to be assigned to a team on either Raw or Smackdown (or whatever you name your two main shows, I guess).

In terms of gameplay, where does WWE '12 rank within your all time favorite wrestling games? (this is of course based only on your limited time playing the game so far)

Lol I mainly talking about moves that are assign to guys in the game but in reality of the WWE universe they dont perform them. Also the awkward looking moves, for exampe the the elbow drop...The ground strike version looks awkward and its slow, I would much rather give the guy the ground grapple verion of the elbow drop which looks better

Lol its like editing tendencies

By that I mean that if you do nothing but sim, it will get stale quickly. Alliances and teams are slow to form, and matches are repeated often (of course, how many times have we seen Orton vs. Christian over the past few months? But make a tweak here and there, i.e. form a new team or give somebody a new rival, and you'll see more of the "remarkable matches" (angles) and see more of what the mode has to offer. Of course, most of you probably already knew that and plan to play "hands on", but I thought it warranted saying... 2. I really, really dislike the kickout meter. I don't know that button mashing is an improvement, really, but on legend difficulty you usually only get one shot at kicking out if you've taken serious damage. I'm going to see if there's a slider to fix this, but I don't recall seeing one... 3. The actual gameplay is really, really good. I'm having a ton of fun just having matches, and I still have barely scratched the surface. There are still guys I haven't used, and I know I haven't mastered anyone... 4. I've seen some weird glitches -- like half the ring suddenly becoming low-res and then turning black. It's only happened once and immediately after a cutscene, so maybe that was the problem... 5. Did I mention how much fun I'm having? I still haven't stepped foot inside Road to Wrestlemania, but just running different exhibition matches has been a blast. 6. Even though it's not supposed to happen, I did see champions drafted in Universe mode. It takes about 10 seconds to fix, but it did happen. So there ya go. Just a few things that I wanted to throw out there for anyone interested....

I would hope if you've had the crap beat out of you that you would be almost unable to kick out. Momentum should have some impact, but damage should be part of it. If you are just so beat up and worn out that you can't kick out, then you shouldn't be able to.

As for #6, in real life champions can change shows. If they get stripped of their belt, then yea, it's a problem. Otherwise, I'd take full advantage of it just like in real life. Cross over on the brands until they ultimately lose the belt.

Can you change the superstars logo to something else I was told before by either marcus or another thq guy we could but someone on caws said we couldnt. I know their is no roster or titles associated with it but I want to change it to either nxt or fcw and I wanted it to show up that way on the calendar. Can we do this or not??

The logo, name and arena can be editted to whatever you want. I just changed mine to NXT.

On a related note, there are a TON of classic PPV show names available like King of the Ring, Capitol Punishment and more. I can get a full list if anyone is interested.

Yeah, if you're hurt you are going to have a hard time kicking out. It may be realistic, but that doesn't mean I like it ...LOL

That suck, are they still showing up in universe matches? Would I be able to slap them on two rarely used guys?

The unified titles or the other two? Like I said, I put all three on the same team, and they only come out wearing the unified belts and are identified as the unified champions.

This is logically true but if you're trying to replicate the WWE you should be able to kick out of a leg sweep.

How many times have we seen HBK get beat so badly but still kick out of simple spot moves let alone finisher?

If momentum had a greater effect than damage when determining who is winning, then a guy getting jobbed and beat like a government mull would always lose because he won't have any momentum on his side.

But your back and forth matches won't end on a leg sweep just because you already lost a great deal of damage throughout the match and you're kick out meter is a fraction small.

Yeah, that's what I mean, the logos. The arenas aren't there, but I'm sure they could be easily created.

Unified. But I see what you're saying, if one team has both the unified tittle and the wwe tag tittle and I have the tag tittles active, they'll come out with the active tittles only. But if they lose tag tittles are they going to come out with the unified tittles?

I am very interested in the show names!!!

# 240 ctr05 @ 11/15/11 06:18 PM

Ooooh awesome! I'll be changing Superstars to Heat, changing Hell in a Cell to No Mercy, Fatal 4 Way may be changed to King of the Ring. Bragging Rights will be changed to Judgment Day or Vengeance and I think I'll edit Survivor Series, Royal Rumble and Wrestlemania to the old school arenas for Years 1-3. what I'd like to know is how do we edit the Superstar and PPV arena's in Universe without simming through the events of the week/month?
