Michael Sweetser Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 I'm not really getting the "point" of WWE Universe mode - do you even get cutscenes in the rivalries? Am I doing something wrong besides just making matches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 I read that, despite the patch notes saying it was fixed, the downloaded CAW issues with disappearing logos persists. I'm still holding off on playing this anymore until then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tromatagon Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 I think there's a new Firepro update tomorrow This game makes me so mad you guys. I can't buy in to anyone saying this series has potential - when they fuck up the game year after year, the only potential is wasted potential. My first loot box had Dolph Ziggler gear in it. Fuck Dolph Ziggler. He's probably my single least favorite wrestler on the WWE roster. I feel like I could probably hang out with Enzo and play Bad Dudes or something. Dolph? "Okay, no more career mode for me." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbarrie Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Have there been any improvements to Universe Mode since 2K16? The biggest annoyances with that game are that you can't view past weeks' results and that the rivalry system is so brittle - any change to a Rivalry Match meant you lost the rivalry. (Add a manager? No longer a Rivalry Match. Add a stipulation to the blow-off? No longer a Rivalry Match.) Have they fixed either of those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gave up on Universe mode ever since 2k13 where it promised all kinds of cool features (e.g. Paul Heymen written storylines; unique cut scenes) but it never delivered.... I mean it STILL has not delivered. If you play one Rivalry, then you've played them all. I enjoy Exhibition mode and dicking around with random match-ups, but every other feature is just pointless. You don't even need to play them to unlock stuff. Absolute waste of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonteCarl Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 What I liked doing with universe mode was to set up rosters on my shows - usually a current roster show on RAW, an 80s WWF vs NWA/WCW show, and an attitude era show, and the champs on each - then play a few weeks worth of the shows just to see what rivalries the AI sets up. Then, when I bore of that, I'll jump ahead in the calendar a year or so and have it simulate the matches just to see who ends up as champs. Get some interesting champs that way and it's somewhat amusing. Like when I got Akeem as 80s WWF Champ, DDP as Attitude Era Champ, and Mark Henry as current WWE Champ.

Michael Sweetser Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Patch 1.05 is out today, along with the NXT Generation Pack DLC (Aleister Black, Lars Sullivan, Ruby Riot, Elias and Drew McIntyre) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Sweetser Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 So I downloaded some NJPW edits and ran KUSHIDA vs. Hiromu Takahashi. Squashed Hiromu. Hit Back to the Future. Brock runs in and F-5s KUSHIDA. I was laughing so hard at the randomness of it that I forgot to try to kick out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty J. Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 NXT DLC is pretty dope. They really went all out with Aleister Black and his moveset. Also Patch 1.05 added the Great Balls of Fire arena, a bunch of new trons and Batista's machine gun entrance! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tromatagon Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 They managed to even fuck up having the DLC download properly within the game, which is pretty hilarious. Black has two Fade to Blacks - the ground one looks awesome, the standing one looks like shit 99% of the time due to how the collision detection works on strikes.

The 2K forums were having a shit fit over it for sure. But somebody mentioned going into New Addons on PSN store and I got it there. So far I only played as Black and they nailed damn near everything about him. I heard Lars isn't that good to play as but I'm sure downloading an updated moveset will fix that.

Michael Sweetser Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 BTW, if like me, you wasted your MyPlayer Kickstart points on stupid shit or a test pilot of MyCareer, deleting your entire save will get them back. Goodbye, Victor Victoria, you weren't that much fun anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also seems to have helped improve some of the issues with the game dragging ass during 8-man matches. It isn't perfect, but it's still an improvement.

Ryan Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Where's the Sweetser CAW with his sick Sweetsersault or whatever you did in your few matches. Game needs CARef and CAManager or Stooge if it doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Guy Named Tracy Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 New moves DLC was released. Lots of Jeff Cobb moves, including a really sweet Tour of the Islands. (That’s the name they used for the move.) They added a proper Destino, snap dragon suplex, Angel’s Wings, Almas’ double knees in the corner, Sanada’s dragon sleeper, an apron piledriver, and total elimination amongst others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCB Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 So I'm considering picking up 2k18. Last one I got was 2k16 and I wasn't a fan of the submission system and barely played it. Been watching some video reviews and they've fixed it a bit which is good. The 100+ wrestler roster sounds great too and the gameplay mechanics of being able to pick up and carry your opponent looks good too. So is it worth getting and is it a leap forward quality wise from 2k16?. Like I said I didn't like 2k16, perhaps I should have stuck with it longer. Last WWE game I invested time in was like the first or second time you could download community creations and I had some fun matches with old school wrestlers. Having random stuff happen in universe mode was fun too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's worth picking up and stuff like picking opponents up adds to a lot of fun moments. As long as you don't get the Switch version then you should be good.
