Received it yesterday right before I had to go to work and pull a long night shift ugh but today I played the crap outta Universe Mode and managed to unlock a few things. Controls took quite a bit to get used to admittedly I lost my first couple matches on normal but I was using Zack Ryder at his default 75 overall being spammed by the CPU as Drew Mcintyre. Anyhow going back to unlockables there seems to be a lot of confusion and different scenarios on how peeps have been able to get them is there any sites that have definite solutions yet?

How is the universe mode this year? I feel like the one last year left a lot to be desired. Worth the purchase price?

11-26-2011, 03:18 AM

I don't want to know spoilers per se, but how do you unlock characters?

I figured when they come out as Mystery Opponents you would have to win as them or defeat them to unlock them, so far I beat Goldust with Cena, beat Taker as Austin and lost to someone as Smash but none of them unlocked.

:wtf: Wow...just wow. As much as I want it for my collection, I think I might wait a bit. I can understand some play mechanics bugs, but these smaller 'attention to detail' things shoulda been ironed out before release. As much as they talked it up, it should have been much better.

<font color=goldenrod>See things like that, while stupid, aren't game breaking and so they just make me laugh my ass off. :o Same thing with the random team coming out to celebrate title wins. It doesn't make any sense, but it doesn't have any effect on storylines so I just move on.</font>

Evil Vito

11-26-2011, 12:07 PM

<font color=goldenrod>Managed to get online long enough to download some of the highly rated CAWs on the front page. Angle, Jericho, RVD, Sting, and Hunico. I didn't preview any of them because I got kicked out the one time I tried, I just downloaded them and looked after. I'm not too impressed with the Sting, but the others are very good. Jericho's face is dead on, and he has his 2007 return attire.

The game immediately booked Hunico in a match against Justin Gabriel. After winning, Hunico went to Pillmanize Gabriel when RVD (who I had set as a legend) returned to rescue him. Decided to throw them in a tag team to bolster the division. I've now got enough teams to have 2 sets of tag belts...pretty annoying that even with two sets of belts, they're technically not brand specific and teams can continue to wrestle on both shows/compete for the other show's tag belts. It's also completely stupid that you have to have all THREE sets of tag belts on active Raw/SD guys even if one or two of those belts are meant to be inactive.</font>

Dunno if anybody else has had ths one:

Decided to interfere in a match (Orton v Sheamus), came to ringside, jumped in, hit finisher on Orton, Sheamus covered, took the option to wake the ref, little cutscene............and Orton is now pinning Sheamus.

#BROKEN Hasney

What are the chances of thos niggles being resolves?

Tommy Gunn

11-26-2011, 01:14 PM

I like it more now I'm used to the controls, spending ages on my CAW's moveset helped me to remember all the buttons.

I also had the phantom WHC turn up, this time Kelly Kelly celebrating with it in a cutscene before Natalya comes out to smash her up.

Also had Yoshi Tatsu critically injured on Superstars, only to appear as a mystery opponent against the Undertaker on the following Smackdown main event, lol.

James Steele

11-26-2011, 01:54 PM

I haven't gotten deep into Universe yet, but Brock Lesnar did return on Superstars by attacking Yoshi Tatsu. The only bugs/complaint I have ran into is the backstage brawl AI. I do know that I hope I never have another 4-on-1 thing. Fucking annoying...

Question about Universe. Let's say I were to make all the females inactive, including the champions. Are there any Universe cut scenes/scenerios that would actually use females, assuming they're not in a stable or a manager? Or would I be rid of the division entirely?

Also, what does happen when you make a current champion (who holds a brand-aligned title) inactive? Is that not possible?

Stone Cold has not signed a contract with me, Nor have demolition. But both appeared at the rumble. I thought I'd have unlocked them cos I beat them, but alas, still not in the roster.

In other news, I was playing as Bertie, and I got demolished by Cena, cos I just aint got used to this game yet. Meaning Cena is my champ :rant:

Cuzziebro

11-26-2011, 08:20 PM

The only bug I have noticed is when there is a mystery opponent and you choose to play as them to 'unlock' them (for example ??? vs Undertaker on Smackdown). ??? ended up being Stone Cold so I choose to compete as Austin. I beat Undertaker easily however Austin is not unlocked. Not 100% sure if this is a bug that he wasn't unlocked or just that's not how he is unlocked.

Other than that I have not experienced any weird cut scenes or other glitches that people have mentioned.

You can make champions inactive, but they'll still be booked at the PPV... Much like the injured Hasney is right now...

<font color=goldenrod>I threw them all into WCW as soon as I got the game and I have not had a single divas match booked. The only diva related segment I had was Beth randomly coming out after Barrett beat Orton, and walking out arm-in-arm with Wade.</font>

Honestly though, if you want that much control over what happens, just do Create-A-Story.

#BROKEN Hasney

11-27-2011, 02:00 PM

Not really, I don't want the control, I want the game to do what it says on the box and book me a coherent wrestling show. I could do without the Rumble choice, but don't give it to me and then ignore it.

This is the first Smackdown game I've actually spend cash on since Here Comes The Pain and it was based on the promise of SD V R 11's physics and universe mode. Admittedly I'm at fault for wanting the game based on their promises of saying the first Universe mode was a beta and that they've fixed it now. Instead what they've done is a couple of minor tweaks so they can put features out to the press and left it in the same buggy incoherent mess it was last year.

Universe mode to me is as bad as the servers. It just doesn't work as advertised.

Evil Vito

I was in a F4W at erm....Fatal 4 Way...and the CPU put himself through the tables and they didnt refresh with new ones, I even looked under the ring too. Might of been a glitch tho?

Sounds like another glitch for the pile yeah.

Did you check the outside at the top of the screen? Sometimes they're hiding behind the ring there.

Just got this and have only played for maybe an hour or two all-in. I'm impressed with the graphics and the gameplay is good - it reminds me a bit of the old N64 THQ games.

I irish whipped someone into the ringside barricade and they went straight through the barricade and kept running through the crowd. Then they walked back to ringside area, straight through the barricade.

Only other glitch I've seen is some lagging during entrances/show openings while panning through the crowd.

So I finished the Villiian portion of the RTWM storyline in one session and I must say I have never hated Cena more than I have before at the EC PPV. Mind you it wouldn't have been so bad if the objective had given the proper instructions telling me to defeat Daniel Bryan OUTSIDE of the ring yeesh! Must admit though I enjoyed playing through that part I hope the Outsider one is just as good if not better cuz me think the final act is gonna suck by comparison and will be full of cliches and be predictable but I could be wrong about that.

Press L1 and it makes the escape bar bigger

I will give that a shot, thanks.

Only real glitches so far have been fighting in the EC during RTWM and Cena and I randomly ended up fighting outside the chamber for a bit.

Also during Universe, I had a match as Taker vs Christian and randomly Big Zeke was in the ring but did absolutely nothing. Just stood there. I could hit him but he did nothing. Then the cutscene after was Kane and Zeke beating me down.

Had a brief floating issue as well during a TLC with Punk v Rey, but so far that's all I've encountered.

Enjoying it for the most part.

11-27-2011, 08:39 PM

The Villain storyline is great so far (and is virtually what I did with my Universe on last years game) however I'm not a fan of the on-the-rails aspect of RTWM. Beat this guy up, them press a button to enter a cut scene. Seems every match ends that way and you never get to actually win the match.

11-27-2011, 08:41 PM

Is Superstar Threads in this year?

Triple Naitch

11-27-2011, 08:56 PM

Superstar Threads is in, under edit superstar.

I loved the villain storyline, the outsider one seems like it is taking forever. I don't mind the action button to end matches. It gives you a more entertaining finish. It's better than losing matches on purpose or having no option but to lose the match.

Evil Vito

11-27-2011, 10:40 PM

<font color=goldenrod>Heads up for Universe: not that it's a common occurence, but if you book a 6 man ladder match at any point, it'll automatically turn the winner into Mr. Money in the Bank.

Only discovered it because I'm on MITB now and I turned all of the participants to be SmackDown guys and simmed. R-Truth won MITB, outlasting Miz, DiBiase, Goldust, Rhodes, and Mason Ryan. R-Truth was then listed as Mr. Money in the Bank.

I decided to book a Raw MITB as well, figuring I'd give the winner a title match at some point even though there is technically only one Mr. MITB in the game. Christian won over McIntyre, Morrison, Kofi, Bourne, and Zack Ryder. However, CHRISTIAN is now listed as Mr. Money in the Bank instead of R-Truth. Not a big deal, as it has the same effect and it just means Truth will have a regular match whereas Christian can use the cheap cash in animation. Just figured I'd throw it out there for anybody planning on doing two MITBs like I did.</font>

<font color=goldenrod>I don't know for sure and don't want to risk it since I have auto-save on, but I'd say it's safe to assume that it's any ladder match. Kinda like last year when I'd do 10/20 man battle royals at random events instead of battle royals, and the winner would have a News message saying SO AND SO HAS WON THE ROYAL RUMBLE AND IS GOING TO WRESTLEMANIA.</font>

I was finally able to sit and play the game after Gamefly sent it to me on Monday yet it didnt arrive in my mail till Saturday.

Does the game seem a little laggy to anyone else? It feels like when I hit the button to punch it takes a second before my person does it.

Only other small problem i have is my guy never hits a ground attack because it just doesnt connect or it pushes him out of the way.

Done a few weeks of Universe today, enjoying it much more than last year, despite the bugs.

One random occurance today was winning a match and then the "this match is restarting as a submission match" cutscene, so I won the match again, and then I get the "submission match" restart cutscene again! I hit the button to take me to this repeat match and it dumps me back in the main menu with my win counted from the first match.

Also in my custom entrance movie, Christian has a skeletor face.

Edit - Oh yeah, almost forgot about playing a match as Jack Swagger, halfway through a cutscene starts where I get disqualified, but then the match carries on only I have a broken arm that is swinging wildly about, lol.

I've had to restart several matches, but the bugs so far have been more funny than gamebreaking.

Ermaximus

11-28-2011, 11:58 AM

I think my game might be bugged. Ever since Morrison won the WWE Title off Punk at RR, I can't get him to drop the title. He wins every damned title defense I book him in. I book him in a title match every RAW and Superstars, and of course the PPV's. Just now he beat Lesnar, Big Show, and HHH in a fatal four way at NoC. I used the Raw MitB winner (Ziggler) and the SD MitB winner (Dibiase) on him and he STILL kept the title.

I'm really starting to wonder if somehow the game made Morrison the new Cena or something.

I found out my story wouldn't work because I had downloaded superstars in it. I've replaced them with my own created (sucky) Hardy Boyz. All my created superstars are in the story, just lost during corruption.

If you want to find it though, it's got the keywords TPWW, Chavo and Jobbing on 360. Give it half hour while it uploads though.

Overall, I'm having fun, but there are a lot of truly excellent games out right now. I'd get one of them, and wait for the patch.

Honestly, I haven't encountered many glitches. As long as they fix the CC server issues, and fix the problem with editing matches in Universe, I will officially love this game.

Just rip some themes from old WWF/WWE/WCW CD's if you have any, to your HD (assuming you're playing on 360?), then create a "playlist" for each theme separately. So fucking pissed that I don't have a copy of the ThemeAddict CD from '04 or '05...I so badly want to revert Christian's music to the original "Just Close Your Eyes" by Waterproof Blonde. Story of the Year can suck my left nut.

I know there's a site that was floating around in the SvR11 thread that had a site with a bunch of themes. You should check there.

Also, one way I find themes to download (and some singles in general) is to just search YouTube with "download link" in the search. It doesn't work 100% of the time, but it does work with a majority. For example, searching "Dolph Ziggler November 2011 download link" comes up with this as the first video:

<object style="height: 390px; width: 640px"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/GwdoPEBb3P8?version=3&feature=player_detailpage"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/GwdoPEBb3P8?version=3&feature=player_detailpage" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="360"></object>

And the description comes with a download link. Obviously works for CD quality ones as well, that's just an example for a really new theme.

Well, yeah, but I was hesitant to suggest that because you have to save to either a USB device or as an MP3 file to a CD-R, and if you go the CD-R route, you'd better be damn sure it's a brand that 360 consoles recognize, because if it isn't, the console just ignores the fact that there's even a CD in it...annoying but true.

I haven't bought the game yet but with all the problems listed, would it be better to just wait for a patch to be released or wait till the game goes to the discount bin?

I was going to get it during Black Friday but ended up missing out on grabbing a copy.

Perhaps its best to wait until the price drop then.
We have hoped for patches most years and someone correct me if I am wrong..but I don't think we ever really got any.

Most people have USB thumb drives so it's not really an issue. You can get them for like a dollar some places.

Also, one thing that people seem to entirely miss the fact on is that you don't even have to rip the themes to your XBox. I don't have an XBox on me right now (coming later this week), but for last year and the year before I had Windows Media Player linked to my XBox with playlists for each theme. I was then able to select those playlists as themes, so I never had to rip anything to my XBox.

I understand that a lot of people don't keep their PCs running 24/7, but if they do this is a completely doable way of having themes and not having to rip them to your XBox every time you need a new theme.

Honestly, I don't like the idea of this reverb shit. WWE dubs the themes themselves over for the broadcast so they're clear, so them doing the reverb on the themes takes away from the broadcast simulation, it doesn't enhance it.

The only time this is really noticeable is during stadium shows because there's a natural delay for the echos and they sometimes get picked up.

I'm not actually sure if it's possible, really, just going by info in this thread.

Doing a small search, apparently it isn't. I figured that, with the update a year or two ago to be able to use USB drives it was now possible, so I didn't really question it.

You can, Hasney posted that we go to Schedule, press X/Square to edit show, then click the titles(Major,Minor,Tag,Diva) then change it with the title we want. I did that and changed the WWE Title to the Undisputed title, Classic IC over IC, and Women's over Divas(note that for that Womens over Divas to work for both, it needs to be changed on both Raw and Smackdown.)

You can't add it to the playlist, but if you pre-select the theme you want from your USB and then play it just before the would-be effected wrestler's tron starts playing (after the loading screen when it flashes the WWE logo).

Without getting too deep into spoiler territory, the Road to Wrestlemania focuses on three stories, in particular, that of The Villain, The Outsider, and The Hero, each of which is a very rich, very deep story that, quite frankly, is better than anything the actual WWE have come up with in a long, long time.

In fact, if any of these storylines had actually appeared on WWE air, they would have been easily the most talked-about in the past decade or so...

So wait, what is this issue about editing matches in universe mode. I thought someone said that when you exit match flow to edit the next match, when you start it the show intro plays again.

I just tried that, and it didn't do the show intro, it just panned around the arena for a few seconds while I assume it was loading entrances.

Also, if you edit a universe match will a storyline moment not occur? Seems like every match I've edited, nothing story-wise happens.

I haven't seen anyone bring it up, so I'm not sure if it's a bug. But custom themes don't seem to play during the celebration, after the match highlights when you win.

Are you playing on 360? I've heard that complaint, but I'm on PS3 and never had it. On mine though, we still have the glitch where the custom music will occasionally play during the match.

They do for me more often than not, but not always.

I've turned match replay off for all modes though so I'm not sure if that's helping me.

I have officially injured 3/4 of the roster now.

how did you accomplish that? I haven't been able to injure one person.

Evil Vito

So I used Brock to retain the WWE Title at Summerslam and then Christian tried to cash in on me. Marked out that the CPU can cash in on you.

But I didn't wanna lay down for Christian cause Brock's only had the belt for 3 weeks...so I exited the match. It gave me a 7th match spot to use, but unfortunately Christian has technically cashed in as far as the game is concerned. When I want Christian to "cash in" now it has to just be me booking him in a title match and playing it through regularly.

Just interfere in every single match. On the Raw side I use my CAW, and on SD I use Mark Henry. The only person I didn't have to injury was Sin Cara because he injured himself.

Just beat them till a body part or 2 is red usually does it. I ended HBKs career with a finisher and a dozen chair shots though so its kinda random.

That explains why The Miz, Alberto Del Rio, John Cena, my CAW, and John Morrison were all injured by Elimination Chamber.

Ermaximus

11-30-2011, 12:52 PM

The Miz gets injured easier than anyone else on the roster I've noticed. Every time he returns from injury, he gets hurt within 2 weeks. I need to remedy this.

11-30-2011, 01:11 PM

Is there anything other than career ending injurys,that seems to be all i get.

Ermaximus

11-30-2011, 01:26 PM

Yes. Most of the people I injure come back after a while. In fact, I had no idea you could end careers. If that's the case, I'm taking Cara, Orton, Otunga, and Slater out for good.

Anybody plays this online? Let's make one character and have TPWW matches. We've had discussions for much more ambitious online feds before but an all CAW match would suit me just fine at this point.

Nah, none are career-ending, it just says that in the news. They're back after 8 months or so.

I know that injuries are supposedly random, buy maybe there's a stat that contributes? Like maybe if they have less strength they get injured easier?

Was it REALLY necessary to change last man standing so that it uses the kickout system? It's not a bad idea in itself, but for more realism and drama the blue section needs to widen as the count progresses.

I have Big Show injured and he returned after 1 month, and went heel after returning by using the steal chair on Punk, and Otunga seems to have beef with Barrett and Gabriel as every time they have a singles match, Otunga interferes before it starts, and attacks both after it's over.

I have characters I recreated through wrestling games since 98-99. Guys I really got attached to. Some retired and and I put them in authority positions like general managers or trainers. Some got 'fired' over the wellness policy. The current owner of the 'A' show of me and my bud's merged promotions is also the very first CAW I made in WWF Warzone for N64.

The draft show is the first Raw and first SD after WM. You have to play the matches to get the animations.

Evil Vito

11-30-2011, 10:23 PM

So I'm doing a draft show and the first match was my CAW vs Big Show. I won and Taker was drafted to Raw. 2nd match was Henry vs Barrett. Barrett won and Taker was drafted back to SD. 3rd match was Beth vs Layla. Beth won and Taker was drafted back to Raw. Main event was Sheamus vs Cena and Sheamus won and Taker was drafted back to SD again. WTF?

<font color=goldenrod>I've read about this happening. Sounds like they basically programmed it so there will be at least one "draft back" every show ala Cena this year. :-\ The way I get around it is by making the drafted wrestler a free agent until after the draft is finished so that they'll no longer be in the draft shuffle.</font>

Good idea.

Anyone else have problems with their CAW call name? I made mine "Ryan The Red Ninja," but they only announce it as "Ryan The." Don't get it.

Universe is beyond strange this year. Feud started out with my CAW vs the Miz and has worked it way into having Chavo, Swagger, Beth Phoenix, Ziggler and now Del Rio. Right now I'm watching Miz vs Del Rio w/Ziggler, and Ziggler keeps getting up on then apron distracting the ref when Del Rio pins Miz :lol:

I don't usually, only watched the Del Rio/Miz match because it was part of the storyline my CAW was in and didn't want to sim it or play as the Miz or Del Rio.

I usually watch the Rumble if my main CAW is WWE Champ or WHC.

Only had a couple minor glitches so far. The seemingly common one where when you're fighting outside the ring and the ref is inside he seems to float around outside when the camera angle changes, and one where my CAW got hit so hard by Kane that he stood about 7 feet above the ring for a couple seconds.

Also confused why CM Punk, the current WWE champ on RAW, came out and did the Discount Double Check to my CAW, the World champ on SD

Ermaximus

12-01-2011, 05:03 PM

Playing a MitB now with my CAW vs. Kofi vs. Ryder vs. Dibiase vs. Barrett vs. Ziggler and Dibiase set up a ladder near the corner and climbed up one side and won't move. He just sits there and everyone else keeps climbing up the other side and falling off like morons.

Just realised that Orton - the SmackDown World Champ - constantly appears/is involved in storylines on Raw and rarely appears on SD.

Also, the card at Elimination Chamber is incredibly weak. Gonna have to change that up a lot (tending to follow what the CPU books for me).

Have you built up a Tag division?

I have paired up Regal & McIntyre and intend to put the tag belts on them. Will probably have Mason Ryan replace one of the pair at some point.

Gonna split up Otunga/McG and make a team of DiBiase/McGillicutty (trying to think of a team name based around "perfect" and the whole "money" deal but coming up blank).

Then I intend to team up Cody and Goldust for a while. And toying with the idea of a kind of fraternity group called Alpha Omega Awesome using Miz, Riley & Swagger.

Tag Division

The United Kingdom (Regal/McIntyre)
"Perfect Finance" (DiBiase/McGillicutty)
Golden Rhodes (Cody/Goldust)
Alpha Omega Awesome (Miz, Riley & Swagger)

Think that makes for an interesting division.

<font color=goldenrod>Oddly, it happened during a Draft Match. I still have all the divas on WCW for the time being until the DLC is out, but I separated the belts and it put the two champs against each other. I assumed Beth was technically wrestling for Raw and Layla for SmackDown, but after Beth won there was no draft pick. Guess the game will always put the two divas champs together in a draft match assuming you have them on actual brands.</font>
