All WWE '12 Discussion

[justinsayne]

I've gotten bored with it, as soon as teh DLC is released I'll probably pick it upm & start playing again.

Has anyone else found themselves getting annoyed with them trying to force things on you in Universe mode, like new tag teams & feuds that you really don't want to do?

 

[justinsayne]

I play it a ton.

That you do, I swear everytime I turn my PS3 on it shows that you're playing WWE 12

 

[Sparky]

It's driving me crazy, I have nobody on my friends list that owns it. Actually nobody I have owns any of the games I do. So I'm stuck playing online with randoms and where is the fun in that?

I wasted the money on the DLC last year to play it just once afterwards. not sure if I should buy it again.

 

[Paralyzer Z]

Does anyone else still have trouble with the online servers?

This game still makes me laugh via universe mode. The night after elimination chamber the main event of Raw was Heel Rock vs Face Punk. After the match Rock who had lost attacked Punk, DB made the save but was to late as Punk got injured. At Mania the second biggest match was DB vs Rock which DB won. At extreme rules DB won a rematch and proceeded to "win" the #! contenders spot for the world title the next night on Raw against The Rock once more. After the match Rocky attacked DB but Punk made the save only to turn on DB.

At the next PPV Punk cost DB the title match against Face Del Rio (he came out before the match and during the match to attack him). At the next PPV the game set up Punk Vs DB which DB won. after the match they had a stare down only for Bully Ray who i had just downloaded to debut and attack both men. Punk saved DB from an attack from Bully Ray the next night on Raw starting their friendship again. Then the game gave up on the storyline as Bully Ray is now the #1 contender to the world title which Del Rio still has.

Also I had a weird glitch today. CAW Face Roode/Storm vs Miz/Morrison. Storm went to tag Roode in but was attacked and Roode walked out. Then I lost control of Storm who was no longer the legal man, Roode was. So Storm stood on the apron while Miz/Morrison continuously tagged in and out as the AI wanted to get Roode but it was no longer there. What an odd glitch.

Still not sure why Bully Freaking Ray is the #1 contender for the World Title. I'm still not sick of the random cutscenes in this game.

He was obviously tempted by how easy it would be to usurp Alberto Del Rio as top heel.

 

[Hollywood Naitch]

Is it possible to make the Unified Tag Team Champions have the WWE Tag Titles not the horrible ugly Undisputed Belts?

I want the Road Warriors as my Undisputed Tag Champs, but I can't seem to switch the belts to the better ones.

Del Rio is my top face, not my choice as i wanted to keep him as Rock's lackey as he originally was but he kept saving Orton/Cena/Punk/DB no matter how many times i forced him to be a heel. So i gave up and eventually he won the title (as i got bored of editing the show and just let the game play itself).

Also Triple Naitch if you want the WWE Tag titles to appear in the rankings instead of the unified (which i assume is what you want) all you have to do is enter your schedule and edit monday/friday nights, you will be able to switch the titles. No idea why you cannot put the belts on the Road Warriors.

I've edited the shows and altered the belts now, so it does say The Road Warriors are the champions

Can you vacate the championships you dont want to use, as McTungacutty are still the undisputed tag champs, and I do not want those belts to be used at all....or do I just stick them on Kozlov/Harris who are 2 guys who arent used in Universe mode?

 

[The Champ]

I turned Lawler and JR heel by helping Cole win matches. I'm now trying to form a super announcer stable, although the game seems to prefer Swagger as an ally for Cole.

I wish the game did a better job of actually reacting to what you do.

Mine had the option to vacate in the edit titles screen you get to through the main menu. It was square, I believe, on the PS3.

That only vacates belts in exhibition. To get titles out of play in Universe you have to give them to someone who you don't use.

Ahh ok. I haven't really messed with Universe yet, so I was just hoping that would take care of it.

 

[Slowdude]

heh, at TLC, the end of my second year the main event was the main feuds of the 2nd universe year in a triple threat for the title. Del Rio (c) vs HHH vs Cena. Cena who wont the title at TLC a year earlier, HHH who won at Mania and Del Rio who won it at Over The Limit.

I wonder what the next universe year will bring forth.

 

[Thriller Ant]

Here's a question for you guys. Do you play your Universe at all or do you just sim through it and see what happens?

 

[Hollywood Naitch]

I've had a few matches in Universe mode, but waiting until I get the 12 month online membership and X-Box points for christmas before getting really into it.

I want the DLC and a roster of downloaded CAWs to get the shows how I want them before starting any major storylines/feuds.

My tag-team division will be awesome then!
Road Warriors, late 90's era E&C, Dudley Boyz, MCMG, AMW, The Eliminators, The Impact Players, Dudleyz, Hardy Boyz and a few of my own teams that I have put together.

 

[Slowdude]

I got bored of trying to keep 3 full shows running for universe mode so I'm going to do different things such as a road to wrestlemania for a random rumble winner (i re-simulated a couple of years until i got someone not named austin/taker/cena/rock). James Storm CAW was the random winner so his RTWM begins.

 

[King Patrick Star]

FINALLY…a new WWE Game has come back…to my house. I just got the game 10 minutes ago and now I have to wait 5 hours to play it. This is going to be the longest 300 minutes of my life. Well, maybe not, but still, you feel the electricity in the air. By the way, I got it for $50 with the Rock included.

 

[Sheamus' Suntan]

I didn’t get the WWE 12 game yet, but I have a few questions about it that those of you who got it already may be able to answer.

General
• Should I get WWE 12 for around $60 (I hesitated during Black Friday and I missed out on the $28 sale) or should I just get Smackdown vs. Raw 2009, 2010, AND 2011 all for the same price and wait till next year to get 2012??
I personally paid full price and really like it. that's a personal thing though. I'd say wait if you're not sure.
• Does the “Unlock All” DLC unlock them all permanently or do you have to unlock them every time you turn the game on??
Permanant.
• Is Vickie the only manager in the game or can any of the other SuperStars be managers??
Any superstar can manage. Vickie isnt there yet as said before.
• How many Arenas in the Create-An-Arena mode are there to start off with and what are they?? I’m not talking about what others have created and uploaded, but specifically what is included in the game itself.
Good question. About 6-7?

Universe Mode
• How many SuperStars can you have on each show / roster, minimum and maximum??
15 minimum. I currently have 32 on each SD and RAW with no problems. I'd edge on the side of 50.
• How many SuperStars can you have in a Stable??
5
• How many Teams / Stables can you have??
Confirming - 70
• Do the Divas count for roster spots or do they have their own count??
They count.
• How many Titles can be active in Universe Mode at one time??
Still 4. BUT on the titles pages there is something stupid like 26 titles.
• Can I replace the Women’s / Divas Divisions with a 3rd Tier Division like the European / Hardcore Division or Light Heavyweight / Cruiserweight Division??
Sorry, not this time.
• I plan on making Monday the WWE Legends show and Friday the WCW Show. Can I do this??
Get enough legends and WCW guys and sure. Of course you can.
• How does the 3rd Show (SuperStars) work?? Can it be a 3rd Brand like ECW, or does it have to be a Super WWE SuperShow (HAHA!!)??
You CAN do anything you want with it. You can rename it and create it to be what YOU want.
• How does the WWE Draft work?? Can you increase / decrease the number of picks??
Draft is crappy. You have "Draft matches" then it picks automatically who goes across.
• Are the Champions involved in the Draft??
Yes
• Does the Survivor Series PPV have a Tradition Survivor Series Elimination Tag Team match?? If so, how many SuperStars per team??
Yes. Its a trad 3 - on - 3, however in RTWM they introduce an amazing idea of having it be 3 on 3 but when someone is beaten, they get replaced. They should have done this - alas...they havent.

Exhibition mode
• Can I actually have 26 different Champions at the same time??
If you want, yes.
• Can I have one SuperStar with all 23 Championships and his partner with 3 Tag Team Titles??
Yep.

I know I have more questions about the game, but I can’t seem to remember them right now.

• I forgot about Ricardo. Can you use other SuperStars as managers as well??
Answered above, yes.
• What is the maximum amount of SuperStars you can have on each roster??
Not sure. I think about 50 as I have over 30 on each with no prob, but honestly if you have over 50 on each, youve spent a lot of time downloading and on CAW.
• 70 Tag Team / Stables!? That’s pretty cool.
• I’m not clear on the Divas part. Since the Divas don’t count, and by my last count I counted 12, I can just put the 6 on each show and it won’t take up roster space??
They took up roster space for me...
• Of the 8 Titles that can appear in the rankings, are two of them the Women’s / Divas Titles, I guessing??
Its the same titles as before. Its not 8 titles...its 6. Being realistic. You have: WHC, WWE, IC, US, Tag and Divas.
• If all the Titles can be used in Universe mode, but only 8 of them appear in the rankings, what does this mean exactly for the other 15 Titles??
They are fillers for exhibition or side feuds.
• When you say SuperStars has to be SuperStars, do you mean it has to be an inter-brand show?? Being that I can rename it, I think I’ll just name it ECW anyway and not have any WWE (Raw) or WCW (Smackdown) matches there.
You CAN do this but you HAVE to change the arena every match (itll default to superstars). You CAN change the name of the show though but again itll default the following week.
• I think I’ll start my Universe with Vince McMahon holding all the Titles and doing a tribute storyline to WCW’s Bischoff / Russo April 10, 2000 Reboot.
Nice idea bro.

Hope that answers your questions. Ive had the game since launch so can say this is pretty much solid, though im not 100% on roster sizes as ive not maxed one out.

 

[justinsayne]

So THQ fix those damn servers yet?

 

[Shadowmancer]

So did anyone get Mr. Popo and demonstrate the Pecking Order to other people?

 

[Hollywood Naitch]

I love the end of the Jacob Cass story!

Let's just say, for those who haven't got to WM yet.....keep the credits rolling after the match finishes!

 

[The Champ]

I got Zack Ryder to the number four contender for the World Heavyweight Championship, so the game put him in the Chamber and I had him win the title. He's now going into WrestleMania to feud with a heel Edge, in what I'm imagining is a classic student vs. teacher feud.

Also, The Undertaker won the Royal Rumble and will be challenging a heel John Cena for the WWE Championship in the main event.

 

[Hollywood Naitch]

What is everyone's Universe mode PPV's?

Once I have downloaded everyone I want mine is going to look something like...

January- Royal Rumble
February- No Way Out
March- Wrestlemania
April- Backlash
May- Lockdown or Rebellion
June- Starrcade
July- Anarchy Rulz or Clash of The Champions
August- Summerslam
September- Genesis or Judgement Day
October- No Mercy
November- Survivor Series
December- Armageddon or Final Resolution

Anyone got any better suggestions.

Also, the Monday show is Nitro, Midweek show is Heat (or maybe Thunder if I can get an arena) and Friday will be classic Raw Is War
