Actually they aren't attires. They have seperate roster spots and show up under the downloaded superstars tab on the character select screen. I just purchased the old school Christian and that's where I had to go to find him. His old entrance and theme aren't there, though.

It's locked because it is a pre-order bonus. If you want it, preorder at Gamestop. Otherwise, yes, it will be DLC on down the road.

LOD also have a locked alternate attire. I'm guessing that's the one that's currently DLC.

# 124 jrider99 @ 11/14/11 12:38 PM

For those wondering, here are the guys with alternate attires:

LOD -- black shoulder pads (DLC)
Arn Anderson -- street clothes
Cody Rhodes -- Dashing Cody Rhodes (without mask)
Drew McIntyre -- suit
Edge -- entrance attire (shirt)
Cena -- red shirt, purple shirt, purple accessories
Kevin Nash -- suit
Miz -- preorder exclusive
Mr. McMahon -- suit
Orton -- without beard
Sheamus -- suit, T-shirt
Triple H -- street clothes
Undertaker -- hooded entrance
Wade Barrett -- suit
William Regal -- suit
Zach Ryder -- with headband

Well huh. That's interesting on E&C. Doesn't make sense why they'd get their own character and they not use anything old theme wise. Not a big deal either way, but I doubt they'd be separate or we could have old Edge vs. new Edge.

It's weird, definitely. But you can't have both versions of those guys in the same match. When I selected the DLC Christian, it automatically blacked-out the new Christian from the character select screen.

Ok, well at least they took care of that. That would be lame for universe mode. Edge and Christian vs. Edge and Christian for the tag titles!

You can't use the classic Edge & Christian in Universe mode. I tried and it said he isn't tracked in Universe mode.

Can you give all the extra titles to classic E&C or will it not allow you to do anything to them in Universe Mode? That would be one work around to get rid of the extra championships if so.

Also, I apologize for asking again but just in case you missed it, have you seen or had any injuries happen in your Universe yet?

# 130 Basketball GURU @ 11/14/11 01:00 PM

Are these extra tittles being defended or are they just there?

Not sure about assigning them titles. Might be a work around for those who want to use legends, though. And no, I haven't seen injuries but I have only been simming. Perhaps they only happen in matches you participate in/watch.

I haven't bought a wrestling game in over 3 years.

1-Are we able to download create-a-wrestlers from other people off the internet?
2-When you create a wrestler (i.e. Kurt Angle), can we edit attributes to make him good immediately? Or is it something that needs to be built up?

They weren't being defended, but whoever held them wore them to the ring and were recognized as being a champion. Assigning them to someone on a dead brand eliminates that problem, though.

Does classic Edge and Christian have their names said in game? Last years dlc characters that were alternate attires weren't mentioned in the commentary. Like Old School Undertaker didn't have any in game commentary and the announce team didn't even mention him by name.

1. Yes
2. Yes

Seems like this has been fixed. I just used classic Christian and he was announced and talked about by Cole and Lawler fine.

# 137 jrider99 @ 11/14/11 01:10 PM

Not sure if this is new, but during my last exhibition match using classic Christian, Cole talked about how the next time WWE comes to you on PPV it would be Survivor Series. Thought that was pretty cool.

# 138 jrider99 @ 11/14/11 01:12 PM

I hope this isn't a bad sign, but I haven't seen any of those "today's remarkable matches" in about 3-4 months worth of simming in my Universe.

And since they modes are separate now, I can do things like disband Demolition, where as in exhibition, I'd definitely like it if they came out together. But if it takes splitting them in Universe mode to get something done, so be it.

But it wasnt one, you can turn it off every time you ran an exibition match by only pressing the R stick (360)

Also, if you didnt want a team or stable participating in your universe, it was easy as moving them from the raw/smackdown roster inside universe mode while nothing being effected in exibition..

I'm noticing that the cards for Smackdown and Raw are nearly identical each week. For instance, if the main event of Raw is a triple-threat steel cage match, that will also be the main event of Smackdown. You can change this, of course, but I still found it odd.

And it doesn't happen every week, either. Just more than I'm sure some people would prefer.
