There is a free brawl match type that lets you fight in the locker room, garage, etc. Is this what you're referring to?

Is it pin fall or KO? and can you go between places, or is it just one area you pick?

free brawl is an exhibition game mode that takes place in different parts of the arena and the only way to win is to grapple your opponent into one of the "hot spots" which triggers a cutscene like throwing a guy through a car windshield....

I haven't messed with Road to WrestleMania, so I don't know if the option to walk around the backstage area (I'm guessing this is the free roam you're talking about) is in this year. Whenever I start RtWM, I will see if it's there.

Nice, much better than KO

Have you tried a CPU vs CPU match? Just to see how the AI plays out?

# 268 ctr05 @ 11/16/11 02:31 AM

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?

# 269 donkey33 @ 11/16/11 03:45 AM

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.

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.

# 274 cattlekiller @ 11/16/11 12:20 PM

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.

Yes, you can change the card once an event has begun, so it should be possible to run a tournament-type PPV. I haven't tried it, though, to confirm.

You can set your card before you start a show and then it will flow directly from one match to the next without taking you back to the match select screen. It will also transition on to the next show if you want.

By contrast, a regular theme continues to play while the winner celebrates in the ring and Cole & the King talk about the match. It actually continues to play until you exit the match. Regal's custom theme didn't do this. Not sure if that helps answer your questions. If you were looking for something more specific, let me know.

This sounds like the glitch from last year, only worse.

Is there any chance you can try turning OFF the replays/match highlights and see if the custom entrance music plays for the winning animation then?

I think they tried to fix the problem of the music playing twice by telling the game to only play it once, but then it doesn't KEEP playing it for the winning animation. So I think if you turn off the highlights, the game might play the custom music for the winning animation instead...

If you get a chance, can you test this out?

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?

Since the game doesn't track years, only months, you can simply insert whoever you want into your universe and it will generate angles for them. Because you can always reset each wrestler's stats/allies/rivals and assign titles to whoever you want, it's not that difficult to restart your universe. But you can only run one universe at a time.

Awesome thanks.
Can you set up a full month of cards or just the show your on?
