Decided to "shake things up a bit." Moved Miz, Morrison, Cena, Ziggler, Ryder, Truth, Kofi, Otunga, and Beth all to SD and moved Henry, Orton, Sheamus, Christian, Barrett, Layla, and Cody to Raw.

Orton is now feuding with Del Rio.
Sheamus, Barrett, Punk, and oddly Evan Bourne are all feuding for the WWE Title.
Christian has turned face and gone after Cody and the IC Title, but Goldust keeps running out to help Cody. (Turned him heel so I could make the "Rhodes to Gold" Tag Team.) If and when I get get on communitty creations, I'll be bringing in either Lance Storm or Jericho to team with Christian.
Henry is feuding with Mason Ryan, which is absolutely abyssmal to watch.

Over on SD
Cena has turned heel and gone after Taker.
Miz, Ziggler, Truth, Beth, and Sin Cara have created a nameless stable, but thus far I only have Dibiase and Ryder feuding with them. (Might move Mysterio over into this group.)
Otunga is feuding with Kane, and Kofi is feuding with a heel John Morrison over the WHC.

Just had the Today's Remarkable Match that is supposed to have something to do with the Rumble Winner's Choice. Nothing happened.

If you actually go to enter the match the winner of the Rumble comes out to the annouce table so you can then attack which competitor you want thus his choice is supposedly made by that action.

Just got my XBox so I naturally just had my first match (non-universe). The gameplay is so smooth and natural feeling. They've really nailed it. Still feeling out the controls, but it's definitely the best in the series, easily.

Question: If I get the Axxess pack and unlock all the DLC, will I still get cutscenes like (spoiler: Lesnar's debut)? Or does unlocking them, even if I don't assign them to a brand, negate that?

Just got this today. I was trying to learn the new controls and my first match was Big Zeke (me) vs. Chavo and I lost the IC title to him in nearly squash fashion. :'(

That embarrassment motivated me to learn the controls quickly and I managed to beat him in a rematch.

I tried to start universe but have no idea what I'm doing as far as editing people around. Changed the name of Raw to Nitro and Smackdown to Raw and WCW to Smackdown because I didn't think to try the schedule tab. :'(




However I did learn that the game doesn't consider the divas people since I had them on one of the shows and kept moving guys to another show and it said I needed 15 wrestlers on the roster even though the main screen said I had 21. Sure enough there were 6 girls on the show.

I went ahead and bought Axxess mainly because I wanted WCW. So i now have wwe's show for raw and wcw's nitro.

One of the first matches my game booked after unlocking everything was michaels and rock vs. punk and a mystery opponent. wound up being Austin. So it was like kayfabe and real controversial teams. kinda marked.

Almost won the Rumble with Bryan but got thrown out at about 28 after coming out at 18 or so. Final three wound up being vader, eddie and christian (me). Christian is going to Mania lol.

On chamber now when i get home. Loving the game. Still getting used to the controls but have most things down. They've toned down the physics which kinda disappoints me but otherwise I'm happy with the gameplay itself. The match flow is amazing.

Only ran into a few minor glitches so far. Mainly the one where someone runs out and does nothing and the one where the announce table graphic isn't there.

You know I was about to buy the Fan Axxess DLC when I realized that I really don't want a lot of the dlc and I would be better off if I just bought the few I did want separately. It made me wonder would you lose out on any additional moves for your CAWs by not getting some of the characters or would all of the moves be unlocked with the "everything unlocked" purchase?

My simmed Rumble was strange, Nash came out at #1 and Goldberg came out at #2, and no matter how many times Nash tried to throw him out Goldberg just threw him off. Goldberg then went on to make the first 7 contenders including him a one-on-one by going RR 2001 Kane on everyone. R-Truth stops that but nobody managed to eliminate Goldberg until entrant 15 got in in which case Otunga of all peole eliminated him. Last 4 people were Angle/Bryan/Punk/Sting, Angle eliminates Punk at the exact same time Sting eliminated Bryan then they fought for 10m before Angle won.

Holy shit. Huge mark out.

Michaels vs. Cena, number one contenders match. Michaels over, naturally, so it'll be Punk vs. Michaels at Mania. Got a cut scene afterward where Nash and Triple H came out to the ramp and congratulated Michaels, and Cole said they had joined forced.

12-03-2011, 11:19 AM
Seems that number one contender matches, at least for Mania, don't stick. I had chosen Eddie for the Mania main event, but the main event wound up being Punk vs. Christian (Rumble winner). I manually changed the matches, because the #1 contender for the WWE title (Michaels) wasn't even in a title match.

Also, is it me, or does the kickout meter for the Elimination Chamber take too long to pop up? Seems that since there's no actual ref the count starts the second the pin is started, but the meter doesn't show up until the 2 count so you really only get one chance to kick out. It's also a pretty fast count.

I've already cranked the game up to Legendary. It's definitely more challenging this year, but if I'm determined to win a match it's really not that hard, even on legendary. Doesn't mean I don't have fun with it, just wish they could release a wrestling game with actually challenging (and not cheap) AI.

<font color=goldenrod>Just won my first attempt at an online Rumble. I never came close to winning one last year because people used modded controllers and always won the button mashing games. But the new Rumble controls make it much more fair.

By the end of the match I was Steamboat, and the final 3 of me, Husky Harris, and Alex Riley last about 10 minutes. Managed to eliminate both with stored Rumble finishers.</font>

I feel like there is probably a plateau that sports games can reach with the AI. I can't think of alternatives to making the AI more difficult other than how it's done now.

Had a great feud running between Austin and CM Punk.
It ended up turning into an alliance which led to an epic feud against Kane and Undertaker.
On Nitro..I have Nash and Hall dominating the show (Nash has the belt).
Nash goes on to have a match with Booker T and a mystery opponent..Austin. Both stories ended up getting mixed up.
Impressed.

Switched to legend difficulty now, I was winning too much.

So far it's much better on legend than in previous years, instead of the AI reversing every single move making it look like you're dancing with them, you can actually hit them without resorting to cheap spam moves.

Talking of which, I lol'd at the AI in free brawl mode, which just seemed to spam the running grapple move over and over again like online newbs.

As for the online, I played one match to get the NXT achievement, I was up against the Big Show, so I chose Jim Ross. Spent 2 minutes annoying my opponent by reversing all of his heavy attacks, then rolled out of the ring, and as he was taunting, rolled back in with a chair and cracked him over the head. DQ! Made me laugh.

From PWInsider:

We have heard from an number of people that bought WWE '12 that THQ has hade major problems with their online servers. A report surfaced yesterday that the problem would be fixed in "January" and a THQ rep denied that and said they are working on the problem now. WWE can't be happy about the problems with the online experience of the game.

So I completed the RTWM and I must say it was probably one of the more challenging parts due to Jacob Cass not having as high of an overall I suppose. Must say that some of the voice acting was barely audible in parts over the crowd there should have been an option for subtitles. Overall it was an interesting concept but should be considered again for WWE 13 btw I was not expecting an ending like that once the credits rolled I know I was in a bit of shock heh. ;)

<font color=goldenrod>I did a Tornado Tag Elimination Chamber (which online is staggered out so that it's always War Games style - Team 1, Team 2, Team 1, etc.) and I was set to enter last. Both members of my team got eliminated as soon as the fucking countdown was going on. So I had all 3 guys from their team meeting me outside of my chamber and I just got my ass beat. Think I hit 2 reversals but that's it. :(

And when I got pinned, the pin kickout meter didn't show up until the count of 2, giving me no chance to kick out. Does it do that on purpose as a way of saying "you've taken too much damage, you lose"?</font>

Xero
12-04-2011, 11:26 AM
No, I ran into that problem too (posted about it the other day). Even in the offline chamber it shows up at the 2 count. I think it's because the count starts immediately since there's no actual ref.

<font color=goldenrod>In future Chamber matches, I'm just gonna take the earliest entry slot I can instead of coming in last. EVERY time there is somebody who will just taunt in front of your chamber and have 2 stored finishers for as soon as you get out. Bullshit.</font>

Hate RWTM, too many times I've destroyed someone and then hit the QTE button which takes me to a cutscene where the opponent hits a finisher and wins.

<font color=goldenrod>Just wasted about 40 minutes trying to get into a Rumble. In every instance the session would end just as the lobby filled up, mainly because idiots join in but don't actually select somebody to play as. Then I finally got in one, had a decent run, but after about 20 or so entrants nobody else came out...Swagger was the last man standing in the ring but the match wasn't over. Everybody had to quit out, meaning we all forfeited our points and had the match counted as a loss.

Had an amazing Intercontinental Title match between Daniel Bryan and Zeke. Probably wouldn't have been that amazing if I knew how to make people submit, but I don't, so he escaped from my Labell Lock twice and I kicked out of his finisher once and reversed his second attempt after his wakeup taunt. Zeke then went on to beat Del Rio for the World Title at the Rumble.

I won the Rumble as Big Show entered around 14th and eliminated around 15-20 guys in the 40 man event so that should set up my Mania main event nicely.

I still need to finish RTWM though so I can unlock the WCW arenas so my Nitro isn't held in the RAW arena. :lol:

It annoys me that they remove stuff from these games.

The lack of physics in the Ladder/TLC matches with regards to falling on to/over the ropes really takes away from the match. And, whilst it's not a massive loss, the in-crowd fighting from a few games ago did add a little something to hardcore/Falls Count Anywhere/etc matches.

Just miss little things like that. :-\

Was having a great 4 way extreme rules. Jeff Hardy (me) vs. Abyss vs. Christopher Daniels vs. AJ Styles. I setup styles on a table..do a swanton bomb..I go through the table..and AJ is out cold in mid air. Couldn't even get him down. :wtf:

12-09-2011, 06:34 PM
lol, WTF?

Edge turned heel a few weeks ago and aligned with Christian. Then, Christian lost a match and Edge, for whatever reason, was pissed about it (seemed like a tag-specific cutscene but it wasn't a tag match). Then, before Christian's next match Edge attacks him. Then at the end of the show they're back together after Edge wins his match.

lol, hadn't played Universe much since this until today and the next show Christian turned again on Edge, saving Eddie from a Pillmanizing.

Also, really fucking annoying that you can't just win any title 5 times in WWE Universe with a custom guy and get the 5 titles achievement. Apparently you have to win separate titles. Oddly enough, best I can remember I've won the WWE, US, WHC, Unified Tag and IC titles and still nothing. :nono:

RTWM parts 1 and 3 have a good story, just a shame about the handicap backstage brawls always happening.

As for a complete package, the gameplay feels solid bar some physics bugs still about. If you don't mind that they actually removed some stuff from 2011 like manager/tag partner controls and ladder fall animations (Unless someone can tell me how to call for manager distractions and weapons this year?), that it may take 5 attempts to download something from community creations still and that Universe still doesn't seem to have coherent scenes and stories a lot of the time, you'll have fun.

Customization has been ramped right up in terms of arenas and shows in Universe, but while SD V R 2011 felt like a revolution, this feels like a sideways step to me. It does some things a lot better but it really feels that very little has changed overall the deeper I get into it.

Good I guess but I don't really like the Road to WrestleMania mode idea this time around.

The main reason I'm asking is that I no longer have a copy of SVR 11, and I can rebuy it or buy WWE 12. I've never been a big fan of the RTWM stories anyway, and they're usually sort of a chore and one of the reasons I don't usually bother with the yearly update model.

I guess what I'm saying is, is the rest of the game solid enough to merit a purchase? Because with Hasney's "Lateral move" sentiment, I might as well pick up a copy of the last one used (Since I already have an Axxess code I used and shit).

Not that I'm taking Has as gospel, or I wouldn't be asking a followup here. The ratings I looked at were mostly "meh." The reasons seemed scattered and sometimes mutually exclusive. And to an extent, I don't expect WWE games to get 9 or 10 out of 10, but at the same time, when a series promises a serious overhaul and the reaction is "meh," I get a little dicey about buying full price.

So how is WWE 12 overall? Reviews seem pretty mixed, and that seems a shame for a game that actually looks like it put effort in.It's pretty fun from what little I have played so far. There are some glitches (I've only encountered one so far and that was in RTWM), and the RTWM isn't anything special (the story is good, but there are many matches that end with cutscenes instead of pinfalls), but other than that it's probably the best game in this series yet.

I still haven't figured out the new submission system though.

I think the bottom line for me would be that if you want to customize your own brands in universe and make your own arenas, get this one.

If you just want to play matches by yourself or with local friends (not sure if the online has died on 11 now 12 is out or not) and are happy with the right analogue stick being grapple instead of direction+A, stick with 11.

The main reason I'm asking is that I no longer have a copy of SVR 11, and I can rebuy it or buy WWE 12. I've never been a big fan of the RTWM stories anyway, and they're usually sort of a chore and one of the reasons I don't usually bother with the yearly update model.

I guess what I'm saying is, is the rest of the game solid enough to merit a purchase? Because with Hasney's "Lateral move" sentiment, I might as well pick up a copy of the last one used (Since I already have an Axxess code I used and shit).

Not that I'm taking Has as gospel, or I wouldn't be asking a followup here. The ratings I looked at were mostly "meh." The reasons seemed scattered and sometimes mutually exclusive. And to an extent, I don't expect WWE games to get 9 or 10 out of 10, but at the same time, when a series promises a serious overhaul and the reaction is "meh," I get a little dicey about buying full price.

That's the reason I got 12. 11 got boring after a couple of months and I got rid of it, so I picked this up. I've enjoyed it more than 11 so far, but it's not leaps and bounds better by any means. I like the roster on 12 better than 11, and the matches seem to have a better flow but that and the addition of WCW seem to be the biggest changes to me. All in all I'd say it's a better game, but I'm not sure it's worth the price difference. If you can wait and find it on some sort of holiday sale, I'd get it that way.

The Jacob Cass RTWM was kind of a nightmare, considering the use of a CAW made the loading times absolutely horrible, like Duke Nukem Forever levels of horrible. The actual storyline was okay though.

I had to laugh at the glitch I ended up with. It was in the Sheamus RTWM and I was fighting the Undertaker in the hallway and he was getting the upperhand, well I was trying to hit some running move and all of a sudden Sheamus just turned around and ran from the Undertaker and he ran into a wall and just kept running when he was up against it. The Undertaker just stood there and looked at him.

That's fear.

<font color=goldenrod>Turned Raw into WCW (Nitro arena) and SmackDown into ECW (custom old school ECW arena) just to change up the look of my game a bit. Wound up getting to the draft and surprisingly had primarily lower carders swapping shows for the first time. Biggest pick of the draft was probably Cody Rhodes going from WCW to ECW, Cody had finally climbed into the main event ranks over the previous year after cashing in Money in the Bank and turning face in the process.

Meanwhile, I was able to go on a CAW binge and am now having an 8-man NXT (in place of Superstars) featuring Claudio, Hero, Roode, James Storm, Aries, Jay Lethal, and the Briscoes.</font>

Probably not the first to ask this, but I don't want to skim the thread for an answer.

In Universe mode, is there a way to re-book the entire card all at once? I know you can re-book a match before you play it, but after the match is over it seems you have to quit out and go to the show card screen and then-rebook the nex match. It would be nice to be able to just rebook the entire show and then play from the beginning and not have to go back to the main screen inbetween every match.

Why is Mason Ryan the #1 contender for the WWE title? This makes me sad.

I was messing around with tag teams after Taker and Michaels became friends and Taker happily turned face and joined the Kliq with HBK and Triple H. Stopped that shit mid-PPV, though and took Taker out of it. Then the main event changed from Husky Harris vs. Shawn Michaels for the WWE title to Michaels vs. Taker.

Added a few tag teams, though, and combined the tag titles for now. The tag division never seems to get booked by Universe unless I book them myself, then they'll be booked for like a month.

Still trying to figure out a way to get rid of the extra sets of tag titles other than just putting them on the undisputed tag champions.

Um, you can basically do that in Create A Story mode.

I'm talking simplicity here, like from WrestleMania 2000 for N64. Pick a PPV arena, book a full card top to bottom, and then run the card.

With all of the advancements in gaming this could be an awesome feature for a game like WWE '12. Some people don't want to run through storylines and week-by-week bullshit. They like to use their own imagination and create a month to month PPV only schedule.

I'm just saddened that THQ and WWE have removed this feature from so many of their recent games. It was honestly my favorite thing about wrestling games back in the day. And now, with the awesome new technology and graphics, I can't even relive any of that experience.

SlickyTrickyDamon
12-17-2011, 05:01 AM
Recent games? I don't remember PPV mode being in any of the Smackdown vs. Raw games. It's a shitty mode you can just do the matches yourself or use a piece of paper and write the matches and accomplish the same thing.

It was simple because that's all a N64 can handle. You talk about advancement but how would going backwards be an advancement? It wouldn't.

I have heard nothing but overwhelming support for the WWE Universe mode except now. It's a great mode. Some people? No, just you. People sometimes complain about GM mode being gone but not make a ppv. GM mode always seemed to me a pale comparison to TEW and Extreme Warfare Revenge anyways.

Yeah, it's pretty much the exact same thing, only better. Choose a show (it's the same calendar as Universe) and book it. Or book a whole week. Or a whole month of shows to play through.

Honestly, the only downside is that you have to save it and then play it. Otherwise there's no real difference.

If anything needs to make a comeback, it's King of the Ring/Tournament mode because that is a bit involved to make in Story mode. Hell, that could easily be integrated into Story mode by default, which it probably should be.

SVR 2006 and I think 2007 had the create a PPV mode. MAYBE even 2008.
I agree with King Of The Ring Mode..but towards the end it was getting there. I think it was in 2008..that if you won, you got to pick a queen and have a brand new entrance.
As others mentioned, would be cool if they integrated it with Universe Mode and turn it into a story.

You can do this, have it be a cash-in involving a non-created superstar (in my case, it was Christian with the briefcase), play as the superstar cashing in (and no, the person I cashed in on wasn't a CAW either, and yes I'm sure...), win the belt and the "A Successful Cash In achievement unlocks...at least it did for me.

Also, despite the descriptions for Wildman of the Ring and Berserker (Destroy 20 or 50 of any combination of tables, ladders and/or chairs in one session), it appears that you don't actually have to sit through one long session to get either of these, as I had recieved the achievement for breaking 20, played the next day, broke maybe 5-6 chairs, tables, ladders before I recieved the Berserker achievement.

So..what do you guys think?
I think it would be a "good" gesture. Chris Jericho would be excellent..

If whoever is to be revealed on Jan 2nd is not on the current roster, I reckon it will be them.

Hoping Jericho if he's not who that hype video is for.
