Was kinda meh being forced to recreate old moments though, more awkward/frustrating than enjoyable at times especially with the hidden objectives. Given the mix of talent on the roster you'd think it'd be easier to create dream matches like the Wrestlemania game.

Keep in mind real life story lines are only a little less stupid than the magic wand thing, nor do I even see your point; recreations are better because original story lines might be silly? Okay..?

Seriously I've found the trip down Nostalgia Lane with Attitude Era mode in '13 & 30 Years of WrestleMania mode in 2K14 to be tremendously fun and by far the most enticing features of the last couple of games. |

I think Universe is supposed to take the place of career mode with all the alleged cut scenes and storylines, but the mode is so messed up it doesn't work out that way. I enjoyed Attitude Era and 30 Years of WrestleMania modes, but I do wish they could at least add in some kind of mode just to play through as a CAW and develop. With NXT and everything now, it'd be an easy storyline to make with a few branches that made you play through 4-5 times. If they could somehow import those rivalries and things into Universe mode when completed it'd be even better.

I wonder what, if any, "theme" there would be. I mean they could always do Attitude Era Mode 2.0 picking up with Austin getting run over at Survivor Series or something but I kinda doubt they'd do that.
A proper WCW mode could be doable now that Sting would presumably be on board for the game. Basically every other WCW guy of importance has been in a recent game so I doubt they'd have issues bringing most of them back in. |

Sports games have this interesting thing where real life events were recreated and installed in the game as special ongoing challenges. A weekly show that doesn't have an off season could potentially upload entire cards for players to play out, change outcomes, etc.

My point is you said recreations are eye rolling compared to the original stories, gender swapping via magical wands and zombie possessions seem vastly more eye rolling to me. |

As for the other's I kind of enjoyed the Road to Wrestlemania mode in '12 (aside from the stupid backstage handicap matches), but it was really short and gave no reason to replay it. I never even had any interest in playing Attitude Mode in '13. I mean I had already seen all of those moments and enjoyed them, there was nothing I was going to be able to do to improve on them. As for the legends I never have had any use for them, especially if they are really old or dead in real life, I just end up moving them to a show where they will never be used. I'd much rather use a bunch of recent scrubs than top guys from decades past, same as the other sports games. I have no desire to play as the '99 Broncos in the year 2014 no matter how much I love that team. |

i think they should just cut "story" mode, and put all it's time and development into improving Universe.

They kinda mixed the 2 together all the way back in 2000 for No Mercy. They had multi-branching stories that either happened in real life or branched off into a different tale. And each belt had its own branches. That had replay value. You had to replay matches to get different outcomes to follow a different branch. I wouldn't mind replaying storylines where I know the next chapter if there's the option to go off script and follow a new chain of events.

I know, but none of that really squashes my point. Some people were entertained by the original stuff no matter how zany, so saying something gets a pass because it worked can be applied to whatever whackiness was in the SvR story modes. It's cool.
Just saying, original angles are still better than re-lived stuff. I mean, you could potentially relive any match/card/PPV anyway, while some dev-side support would be required to enjoy fully fledged story lines for... say... your CAW. Surely we can agree with that. And yeah, Kane did totally use magic to set a technician on fire. Not ambiguous spooky mind games - it was D&D shit. Probably on YouTube. Hell, I loved it. |

Kane used a lot of magic.
If some of that stuff were original storylines made for the game you would have cited those just as well. |

Kane uses a lot of pyro, it's kinda his thing. And like I said, only one of those things is even close so I seriously doubt I would, I wouldn't have even cited the two I did if you hadn't come across as a pretentious cunt the post before though.

You know pyro is not what I'm pointing out. The video above is very clear. It's presented as magic. They could easily do the examples you stated on TV and they would be perfectly in line with their whackier angles/scenes. That is my point; they been doing goofy shit.

They are not presented as magic. They are presented as supernatural powers given unto him from The Great Evil Of This World, Mr. Lucifer Satan Devil

Though I think zombies would be an interesting match. You get pinned you're infected and must work for the other team. |
