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

To your first point, yes, this is how I seem to recall it working. The champion can get drafted, but not the championship. Henry would show up on Raw and in the Raw rankings, but defend the World Heavyweight title on PPVs against the top contender from Smackdown. When this happened in my Universe, I simply stripped the champ of the title and awarded it to whoever was the No. 1 contender.

As far as abilities, the one that I have seen most from heels is the ring escape ability. You can hit LB when you're near the ropes and you'll roll out of the ring. You can do this three times a match. A lot of the other abilities cover things like being able to do springboard dives, dives to the outside, etc.

You can have five allies and five enemies at a time.

I read that too, but it happened in my Universe during the draft following Wrestlemania in my first year. To me it's not a big deal since you can assign titles to anyone you want, but I know that it can happen.

Sorry, I was talking about comparing the fun factor and replayability, meaning is WWE 12 fun(gameplay) and does it have a high replayability, not how much the trade in would be. And actually I bought it new but haven't opened it up yet so I know I can get at least half down on pre-order, but thanks.

What about attributes? Can we edit them and then start universe mode? and are the cutscenes better this time around?

# 445 Jukeman @ 11/18/11 03:39 PM

Some User vs User gameplay

More AI vs User Gameplay vids

This vid is one hard...Legend mode looks promising.

in matches i watch, i would think that Cody STILL has to get a resiliency ability. he does a LOT of great things in matches & there are a few other heels that would simply have to have this regardless of being a face OR a heel IMO:

Del Rio, Dashing Cody being 2 i can think of off hand

Attributes can only be edited within Universe. As for cutscenes, I can't recall which ones are new and which ones are old. I didn't play Universe much last year.

I'm actually considering giving the resiliency perk to all main-event caliber guys.

# 449 hulkhogan1 @ 11/18/11 05:36 PM

Do you know if we are able to edit entrances for alternate attires? For instance, Cody Rhodes has his "Dashing" Cody Rhodes look as an alternate attire, with a different entrance and music for it. Is there any way we could give him his new music that he debuted on Raw this week for his Dashing attire only? I'm assuming the answer is no, since last year you could only edit their entrance for their default attire. But it would be nice if we were able to do this.

# 450 cattlekiller @ 11/18/11 06:34 PM

jrider if your still around.

You mentioned classic Christen and Edge not being able to use in the universe.Was the default Chriten and Edge in the universe already when you tried or was they not apart of a brand?

Also is the Road Warrior Animal Mohawk mullet in the default Road warriors or is that haircut only tied to the alt attire DLC of them?

Thanks again man.

the haircut found in this video

Not sure about the hair cuts (I'm not in front of the game right now).

About classic E&C, you can add them to a brand in Universe, but a message pops up saying they won't be tracked by the mode, so they will never get put in matches or show up in the rankings.

Just made all the changes to my universe (brands, allies, rivals, titles). Playing the Royal Rumble right now.

I'm 1-3 in matches so far. The only win was with CM Punk (and Berto jumped me before the match started. Nobody got a finisher off.)

The others I lost with Daniel Bryan, Sin Cara, and Trips.

Any questions that haven't been asked/answered about Universe I'm willing to answer (not to step on jrider's toes here.)

I'm debating turning the gauges on, but I'm not sure yet. It might help me suck less. The only other change I'm debating on are turning reversals down.

By all means, bro, answer away. And give some impressions, too. I'm sure the guys here are tired of hearing what I think and would welcome some fresh opinions.

I couldn't find an actual response to something like this so I'll ask. Apologies if it has been covered already.

Say I want to run a single brand, no draft. Like an old WCW brand where wrestlers appear on all shows at any time. Also with only one set of titles so one main title, one minor, etc. Not a title per brand.

Is that possible to create?

From what I've seen, yes, put you would have to have the titles assigned to both brands like you said. This essentially ends the "brand split" and allows guys from both brands to appear on both shows and be tracked in the rankings.

# 456 ubernoob @ 11/18/11 08:12 PM

The only thing I can think of is adding all to free agents?

I went to the smackdown show, and wasn't able to put the raw roster as available for use on it.

If you share a title between shows, guys from both brands will appear on both shows from what I've seen.

As long as you use a single minor title you will be fine. As jrider pointed out before, if you have one minor title unique to each show, the rankings won't cross over. But if you only had the World, US, Tag, and Women's on both shows, you'd be set.

# 459 godsnino @ 11/18/11 08:48 PM

Anyone heard any news about bret hart being included in the game or maybe as a DLC?

# 460 donkey33 @ 11/18/11 08:49 PM

Yeah, I'd want one set on both shows.

I guess using an example, say I want to create the WCW circa 95-97 era. I want only the WCW brand of wrestlers available across all shows which would mean disabling all other brands or putting wrestlers onto brands that don't take part.

I'd want all titles disabled except one world, one minor, one tag, one womens, etc. They are shared across all shows.

So I guess it's setting it so that I run an entire set of CAWs that only show in the universe mode under the WCW brand using only those titles I specified across all shows. I don't want a world, minor, etc, for each show or other wrestlers to be part of it.

Possible?
