At the royal rumble will the trons show for the entrant thats entering the match and will fueds start by eliminating someone in universe for example: kane eliminates brock lesnar they start a feud and it continues for weeks. And if a tag team is in at the same time will they work together or they try to eliminate each other(i hated that i love to see tag teams trying to stay in the whole match)

I could see it being pretty hard from them to make AI that is that smart. It's already dumb at times during a one on one match, I can't see how well team based AI would work. You have some other good ideas though. The beauty of Universe mode is you can create your own feuds at any time, so having Kane and Lesnar face each other the next night because of that instance you described would be very easy to make happen. And it would be pretty cool if at least mini trons played when guys entered the Rumble. They were able to make some character specific Rumble entrances and even have pyro go off for some guys, so having a mini tron play for a few seconds couldn't be that much harder.

I'm no coder, but perhaps they could assign a 'priority' to the guys in the ring. The AI will prioritize people not in the current wrestlers' alliance, and will always target 'rivals' first, in any multi-man free for all match. Of course, if one of the allied wrestlers 'accidentally' hits them, they might just get targeted, or if nobody else is left in the ring but them...

I had already used my pass with my gold account, so maybe if you have that code you will be OK, but I have to think this isn't a good sign.

Not good for me, as I only have Silver. I'll probably just get the PS3 version so I can download things without having to pay extra.

Can you create your own title matches for unranked titles in Universe?

So, say I want to bring the European title back; could I put all the other unranked belts on a legend in WCW, give someone the European title, and make them defend it when I want?

Also, is it possible to swap out major and minor titles in the middle of your Universe or is it something you set from the beginning? I want my CAW to get rid of the god awful spinner belt and bring some attitude back to wrestling when he wins the WWE title in Universe.

# 168 Aggies7 @ 11/15/11 04:03 AM

Maybe a stupid question but is there any improvements to CAW names for entrances. I got so sick of hearing...

"Now coming to the ring...the Superstar".

I don't have the game but call names have indeed been improved. There is a much bigger list to choose from that has much more variety, such as having alot of real names instead of gimmick names. Also for the first time you're able to string up to 4 different names together, to allow for alot more possibilities. So yes, CAW announce names should be much less generic this year.

Just wish they would add a feature where you could do your own announcing or download someone like Howard Finkel saying the name or that gal that used to do it and upload it for the entrance.

But still good news it's been improved.

I doubt you can defend non-sanctioned belts. You can only have 4 on a brand and if the European isn't one of them, then it won't be defended. You can have someone wear it as a novelty, i.e. Shane McMahon.

# 172 KyrieIrving @ 11/15/11 09:50 AM

Hey man great work on replying to every comment

I've a question ?
If u ever played against someone else in a 1 on 1 match......how does it feel ? Does thr match feel slow and sluggish....or is there action in the match and the flow of the match ?

You could do title matches in Universe with the secondary belts last year so I hope they didn't take that out.

I've played plenty of 1v1 matches and I think the matches flow just fine. The overall pace of the game is different from past SvR games; it's somewhat faster, but it feels less arcadey if that makes sense. I think it goes back to how well moves are sold. I'm just not seeing guys hop right back up ready to fight after getting hit with a move.

# 178 ronyell @ 11/15/11 12:44 PM

pretty general question but... how well are created wrestkers integrated into universe mode & how many wrestlers total can you have in Universe mode? conversely how many CAW can be put in?

HEY! Booker's commentary is priceless! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwww man! HE'S GONNA DO IT!

# 180 jrider99 @ 11/15/11 12:59 PM

OK, music...

I ripped William Regal's Man's Man theme from the WWE Attitude CD and assigned that to him. It is a little louder than the default themes and is lacking the reverb that the others seem to have.

Post-match, his theme only plays during the match highlights and then stops. 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.
