On another note, how do add theme music into the game? The Jake Roberts I downloaded doesn't have theme music and how do I get the music onto my system so he has some?

Don't remember if you said you are Xbox or PS3 but here's some quick Xbox tips.

If you have the music on an MP3 player, you can hook it up to the Xbox or on CD (what I normally use), insert the disc in disc drive.

This is from the home screen. Download the selected tracks to your hard drive. Make sure each track is downloaded individually as its own album.

When you go into the creation menu, any tracks downloaded should appear on the final screen.

Too Cool gets used as a call name only when you use that actual tag team.

Really? Sweet, thanks for the tip! Does the same work for The Brood? And I guess to make that work, list it as none on call name?

Not sure about the Brood. But for Too Cool, yeah, set the call name to none and the ring announcer should just use the Too Cool name by default.

Thanks! And The New Brood? FUCK didn't even think to look for that.
The call list name is tempting me to make the faces of fear. If only the death grip made it into the game.

 

[DrVenkman PhD]

Just pretend Kane's signature is the grip.

 

[2GOLD]

Is the Grip a submission? I haven't used Kane much. If not, the manible claw was always my fallback Death Grip.

 

[DrVenkman PhD]

He just puts his hand over the face then falls down to the mat.

I have PS3, but I appreciate the tips. I'm sure it's somewhat similar for PS3, so I'll do some looking.

I am somewhat disappointed that when you are setting PPV's that they don't have a tournament option for one of the themes. Ruins the chance to have a KOTR tournament in Universe Mode since I was going to do that for the June PPV.

I assume if you allow for a draft that all of that occurs after WrestleMania?

 

[vivisectvi]

Put the music on your PS3, vis usb, and then go into create an entrance for whoever you want to change, select Custom Music from the Music option in the menu. It's the option right next to None at the top of the music list.

 

[Danville_Wrestling]

My Universe Mode loves booking fat man matches. Rikishi has been facing Big Show, Tensai, and Yokozuna over the last three weeks.

This Yokozuna I got online is awesome, with great detail on his entrance attire. The damn man is HUGE, though. He makes Rikishi look like a midget, which is great and lifelike.

 

[DrVenkman PhD]

I had a similar thing happen with Vader/Tensai once they got drafted to the same brand (currently SmackDown), and they were often fighting for a shot at Brock Lesnar to boot (which resulted in a few Lesnar/Vader/Tensai triple threat main events).

 

[Danville_Wrestling]

Those sound like great Japanese main events right there.

My top feud on RAW is Austin-Cena in a "respect" angle over who gets to face CM Punk for the WWF title and Nitro has Sheamus feuding with Alberto del Rio (which sucks). Mike Tyson is tearing it up on Wrestling Challenge (my minor Saturday show), vanquishing one jobber a week. He had a bloody brawl with Scotty 2 Hotty (of all people) on the last episode. Rick Rude debuted last week and squashed Yoshi Tatsu like a bug.

 

[KingPK]

I have Daniel Bryan having to fight Brock and Ziggler in order to get a title shot against Punk. Also I turned Orton heel and put him against Sheamus for the WHC.

I downloaded a bunch of CAWs but now the roster is too damn big I won't be able to use everyone.

 

[Danville_Wrestling]

What is the optimal roster size to have in Universe Mode if you have two brands? I have two brands with 40 each, which I know is too many, but I also don't want to have a whole year of the same matchups.

Also, is there a way you can set who is face/heel?

 

[KingPK]

When you edit Superstars the last option is Cheer/Boo

 

[DrVenkman PhD]

I don't know if it was a random storyline or done on purpose with these characters (Ledezma claimed in an interview with Alvarez - and I assume in other places - that some characters get their own little cutscenes or storylines in Universe), but the oddest storyline I had was a booked for no reason Bradshaw vs. Faarooq match. Maybe it was a friendly respect match, I don't know... but all of the sudden, JBL time travels from 2004 to be in the corner of Faarooq! After Faarooq wins, JBL offered a chair to attack Bradshaw, but I chose "ignore". Same match the next week, but JBL is now reppin' for Bradshaw. The next week it was Faarooq /w Bradhsaw vs. JBL, then that was that.

 

[vivisectvi]

Just like WWE TV!

 

[Mattdotcom]

In my WCW, my main heel stable is the Monstrous Alliance (Vader, Mankind, Paul Wight, Boss Man, and MENG) and the game keeps booking Vader vs Cactus Jack so I guess it's a multifaceted split personality angle.

 

[2GOLD]

In mine, Del Rio used a chair in a match with Rey Jr to defeat Rey then after he offered to shake Rey's hand and turned face. I still don't understand that turn.

 

[DrVenkman PhD]

Just like in real life.

 

[2GOLD]

When it comes to booking stupidity, this game does have the WWE down perfectly.

This probably means the WWE license is going to end up with another publisher.

 

[vivisectvi]

Yeah so much for patch #2..

 

[DrVenkman PhD]

Being halted for news sounds odd. Just give me Sandow in January please, I don't care if my tag team tables matches result in dead bodies floating above smashed tables.

 

[2GOLD]

It reads like they are going to keep running the business until the company is sold, which will probably take some time. So I'd say most of the stuff will still be sold since it is revenue and the patches are likely done anyway so they will just need to be submitted to be authorized.

Now the question will be who is going to get the WWE license. Please not EA though, they get lazier than THQ did sometimes.

 

[MillenniumMan831]

I wonder if 2K would be interested. If they can make wrestling games like they make their basketball games, it'd be glorious.

 

[vivisectvi]

They had better deliver on that. I've already paid for it.

 

[2GOLD]

Ah crap, if we lose Sandow, we lose Pillman too. Shit!

 

[vivisectvi]

I think it will happen either way. The Kotaku article I linked in the other thread (http://kotaku.com/5969846/thq-files-for-chapter-11-bankruptcy) says that they filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy, which apparently means that they "continue to operate as normal—in other words, all future games will continue as planned—as they go through the bankruptcy process."

I'm assuming that means also supporting their current crop of games.

Related, I hope someone buys the rights to Saints Row and makes a better game than "The Third"
