DoomSlayer Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Lol...so, I was playing Universe last night, and I found out you could edit the rankings for the title contenders. Don't know how I never realized this sooner lol (didnt play Universe much at all in '12). Anywway, the question is will editing these rankings actually make a difference in the way Universe books matches or does it actually do nothing? If it does do something, how long will it take for Universe to "adjust" to the new rankings? Also, Let's say Bobby Roode was ranked number 2 and James Storm (ranked 3) beats him in one match, is Storm now bumped up to the number 2 contender slot or do you have to beat a guy ranked higher than you more than once? This got me thinking about other stuff I've wondered but never bothered to look further into. Main one being the Hit Point Ratio for CAWS. What does this do? Does it change anything about the way the AI plays as that CAW or does it effect gameplay at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuicidalKissesProduction™ Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Hit-Point Ratio is simple; health for body parts. The Ranking System adjusts automatically, be warned though because it can sometimes randomize the entire list; Ranking is normally how Rivalries play out if the Superstar/Diva doesn't have any Allies/Rivalries listed.

Happens to all titles, just go to the rankings and they'll give you the command to adjust rankings; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoomSlayer Posted February 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Thanks man...Yea I had pretty much the same reaction when I realized they were editable lol So with the hit-point ratio if I give a guy lots of points for the head, that means he can get hit in the head more and it will take more to damage that part? It just never seemed worth it to bother cause I didnt think it would change the matches that much (if at all) , other than maybe having to hit a guy twice in the head with a chair or something instead of once lol. Besides the basic function of it, I've wondered does the AI know that a guy has a high level of head damage he can take and attack the head more because of this? So being that Universe goes by either rankings or allies/rivals...would it be better to get rid of rivals altogether so that it makes its own rivals out of the rankings? Or would it be better to have Allies/rivals set for everyone (like I have now) and still adjust the rankings? This is basically what Im wondering as the rhyme and reason in Universe mode is a bit odd. I dont know if I should start over but then I have to reset all rivals/rosters/tag teams etc. I cant edit the matches without the game freezing on me, so I'm trying to figure out ways to make Universe play more to my liking without manually changing evey match-up everytime which I can't do anyway. Also, they seem to have taken out the Favorite moves option in Create-a-moveset...I swear this helped the AI a bit in past games. Like some guys would never go for their 2nd finisher, so I made the 2nd won the favorite and they actually started using it in matches more. Wish they'd bring it back unless its still there and I just missed it lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuicidalKissesProduction™ Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 One of my CAWS had horrid Hit-Point Ratio for his Legs, well a lot for his Body/Head. The A.I will actually focus on their legs during matches they are in; you have to keep it at 100% though. So, if you add points somewhere; you have to take away somewhere else until it's even.

MatrixTN Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 is it just for major titles, or does it work for tag and minor titles? For the minor titles, you can also remove a superstar from the ranking and he won't be considered for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApostKhan Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 I've noticed you need to adjust the rankings for tag teams and divas youself every few months becuase they never change. Alicia Fox was the #1 contender for the divas title 4 months in a row despite losing 16 straight matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
