I didn't pick this up until last week, but I just finished ending Undertaker's Streak with R-Truth. What a pain that was.

Spoiler

Undertaker's reversal ability gets shot through the roof when you fight him, and his Tombstone is instant death. I had pretty much dominated him at one point, then one zombie sit-up later, he Tombstoned me for the win. Anyone know if it's possible to fight off the Druids after you lose? Regardless, I beat him, and got a less than impressive celebration afterwards.

Also, I competed in a fatal 4-Way at "Royal Rumble", even though I was in the RAW arena. I don't know if that was a glitch, but if not, that's just inexcusable on the developer's part.

I played a little of WWE Universe mode and used Swagger to beat Rey Jr. for the WHC. I found it pretty funny that during Swagger's title celebration, Cole said "What a move! If he uses that this Sunday, there is no doubt he will leave as Champion!".

 

[Mazto]

I've gotten that same call glitch a couple of times with my IC title holding CAW, I'll smoke someone the week before a PPV and get the "If he does that this Sunday he's going to win the the title!" As if I was chasing the title still.

 

[vivisectvi]

Yeah the commentary is fucked more often than not. I was playing a 6 man TAG match in Universe mode and Cole said on more than one occasion that the winner of the match would be the #1 contender for the WWE title.. and the WWE Champion was IN the match.

Either way I think I may reset my Universe.. or at least redraft the rosters and start from scratch. Getting kind of bored with the set up I have now.

 

[Mattdotcom]

One of my friends summarized the Undertaker storyline rather succinctly: "you go through the whole story beating ass with ease and then hes super shredder"

 

[DrVenkman PhD]

I did Rey's storyline (heel branching). Amnesia Rey is pretty funny, as is Jack Swagger using spanish words and being overly cheery with Rey.

 

[Haws Bah Gawd]

"Rey, let me tell you about the time I made John Cena tap out at Wrestlemania".

Swagger is such an awesome douche in Rey's RTWM.

 

[Mattdotcom]

Interest in game renewed.

 

[DrVenkman PhD]

He also says "Hermano" a lot and somehow pronounces it different almost every time.

 

[Mazto]

Now I must do Rey's RTWM.

I had a pretty epic night last night and first thing this morning. I tossed together a tag team of Sheamus and Finley dubbed the Irish Rebellion Agency and was working them up the tag ranks. I had to deal with R-Truth and Morrison in a ladder match, while learning the new ladder match mechanic, so I kept getting tossed off the ladder everytime I went for the damn case, I pulled through that somehow and lined up a match on Superstars in the main event to move up another spot against the team of Miz and Jericho whom I've dubbed The Kings of Awesome. I'll spoiler the next bit since I haven't read anyone else having this cut-scene...

Spoiler

HHH does a hate run-in on Sheamus, so I fight him off, Finley had a finisher almost good to go so I tagged out to him and hit HHH with the Celtic Cross to send him packing, and I worked over Miz a bit and went to tag Sheamus back in and it goes to a cut scene were Sheamus hits the ring before I get to tag him and he takes my head off with a clothesline from behind leaving me with no momentum and injured on top of what I'd been dealt during the match (I'd used Finley most of it to keep Sheamus for clean up) so a bloodied, broken Miz covers the totally out of it Finley and my IRA team disbands.

I marked so hard, I couldn't even be mad about it.

Found a neat new glitch too.

On the SD side I'd worked my CAW up to a World Title shot against CM Punk (with added backstory that Punk tossed my CAW out of the Straight Edge Society after he started climbing the ranks... well that's what I'm reading it as when Luke did a fake out run-in "for me" and laid my CAW out) I do my business have a fun match with Punk and win the title. Now I'd been pulling a Rob Van Dam and my CAW was/is still the IC title holder and was the Hardcore Champ, so I vacated the Hardcore Title since I didn't need three titles on a single character, and I gave the title to Goldust because I'd just unlocked him prior to this PPV. I did this during the PPV, Goldust had been booked in the opener which I'd skipped to get to the all important World Title match done with, after I put the Hardcore Title on him, he was no longer on the card, and replaced with Yoshi Tatsu, I wasn't planning on playing that match so I didn't really care. I'd worked up Sheamus on the RAW side and had a shot against HBK, so I went down to play that match, only instead of HBK defending against Sheamus it was my CAW... who is now the World Champion, the WWE Champion and the Intercontinental Champion. I'm not one to look a gift horse in the mouth, so yay.

The game is fun, but man is it glitchey has hell.

Swagger is the best thing about Rey's RTWM. Also the fact that you can actually turn Rey heel.

 

[DrVenkman PhD]

I saw Tommy Dreamer's name on the whiteboard in Jericho's RTWM. He's supposed to be wrestling Christian.

 

[vivisectvi]

Carlito is on there at some point, too.

 

[Mazto]

Did Rey's Mania today, fun stuff

Spoiler

Missed out on unlocking Terry Funk because I couldn't get a flow going with the one match you use Borne to hit a finisher against Tudo Americano, and thus he wasn't in the Mania Green Room to challenge.

.

And Swagger truly was epic.

 

[skullman80]

Had a weird glitch today.

Was doing Christian's RTTM, and I had won the MITB. So I just randomly decided around week 9 or so I was going to cash in. I cashed in against HBK. When I had the cutscene with Edge it said I would be cashing on the next Raw... well it moved me the whole way to WM. Not only that... but I came out as champ instead of as challenger. It was just odd.

 

[DrVenkman PhD]

I made a guy yesterday and, using the dual title belt exploit, immediately had him win the world title (on Superstars no less!). Perhaps the game is fully aware of this exploit as the achievement for having a created wrestler win the world title in Universe mode was not awarded.

 

[Angle-plex]

The dual belt Title match glitch makes Universe mode 1000x more fun to play.

 

[DrVenkman PhD]

Did anyone reconfigure Jericho at all? I really don't like the set-up of the Walls being a signature, it just feels weird to apply it to set up the Codebreaker (and people can tap to it too). I was going to give him that enziguri as a signature, but it's already his strong strike AND a grapple move. Then I noticed the reason the filled both finisher slots with the Codebreaker is because one is a running variation... seems wrong to remove it.

I also knows guys like Cody and Vlad have their signatures (and finisher, in Vlad's case) as regular moves too but I don't feel an immediate need to fix it.

How are the CAWs you can download in the community creations section? Do they look good and have accurate moveset? Does the overall average stay where it is or do I have to earn all the points? Theme music? I dont have online access right now so I'm not sure if its worth getting. I wont play matches online for obvious reasons.

There are decent ones out there and they do include movesets and entrances. The overalls are editable so you can put them to whatever you want. Theme music you can put in yourself.

Any word on when the Nexus pack is coming out? I'm getting itchy waiting to have Wade Barrett pummel Cena.

 

[Baby Shoes]

The pack is supposed to be out anytime now. I still haven't found a date yet but they keep calling it the Holiday Pack with Barrett, Gabriel, Otunga, Luger, Bulldog and Shad's solo tights update and Vintage Shawn, so hopefully soon.

The CAWs, I've had luck getting a couple really good ones. Just search who you want and you can check out ratings among other things. I got a solid Tyler Reks, a really good Heath Slater, Daniel Bryan and an awesome Kaval. The Skip Sheffield I got I don't like a whole lot and I didn't see a Darren Young or Tarver I liked. Just hit or miss. I think the Slater, Bryan and Kaval all came from the same person. Like someone said, you can edit stuff if you have the patience. I added the We Are One song to my Hard Drive and added it to Slater's entrance and it works really well.

 

[JHawk]

I was told the Nexus pack would be released 12/21 but have not heard that from anybody in any official capacity or anything.

 

[vivisectvi]

Marcus Stephenson gave the "no comment" answer to that date on his Twitter, so it's probably correct.

 

[vivisectvi]

Also, apparently the "hero" music for Luger was a dub. This is the actual music that's included:

Smackdown vs Raw 2011: Lex Luger - DLC Package #2

 

[vivisectvi]

Also, via Stephenson's Twitter:

@stephensonmc hey man, is ABA undertaker with long hair or short hair? thnx in advance

@YoussefAhmedAly short hair

So we get Big Evil for BikerTaker! Sweet!

 

[Mattdotcom]

YESSSS THAT MUSIC OWNS

 

[Conspiracy_Victim]

Is that "Rollin'" or "American Badass"?

 

[Mattdotcom]

I was talking about Luger's
