Conundrum Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 I gotta ask, how do you guys make a fun and creative universe mode that keeps you coming back? I've gone thru so many universe modes but I keep giving up due to the lack of repetitive cut scenes and there's nothing too special anymore for it. I want to keep playing but it just bores me now and I want to find ways to play that will make it more enjoyable for me as a player. What helped me was re-drafting bead rosters (aand including some legends). I also play 99% of the matches, and that helps. For the most part I have an idea (I want this superstar to win that championship or I want these superstars to feud) and then let the computer kind of do its thing as well.

Counting Lights Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 Wrestling games have always gotten boring to me alone (barring the old season modes). I Shareplay my Universe with a friend, he books RAW, I book SD, and we just throw on our headsets and banter through the entire thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes, but not too often. If I can, Ill change the wrestlers goal to match what I have in plan for him, but aside from that, its just all me. Never thought about the SharePlay Universe thing. How does that work? Im not too familiar with SharePlay, aside from streaming a game so my friends can watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Counting Lights Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 Never thought about the SharePlay Universe thing. How does that work? Im not too familiar with SharePlay, aside from streaming a game so my friends can watch. Shareplay basically lets someone else jump into your game with you. The set up in 2k18 is weird for it, as there some error with created content, but I've found a way to avoid it. Essentially, when you shareplay, give your friend a controller and let them play as you. Then you need to log into another account on your PS4. From there, yeah, we just treat it as a GM Mode where we rebook the cards. Since we record it, we try to control a lot of it (like adding our own cutscenes with Create a Movie) but before then, we would just book whatever feuds, grab a few drinks and a mic, and dick around for a few hours at a time. It kept the game fun much longer than a solo Universe would, so I always recommend the hell out of it whenever people ask about prolonging the games lifespan.

maskedlemon Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 Not sure if this is the right thread but Im having an issue in my Universe. When I load it up, it gives me a warning that a single competitor has a tag team championship and that matches and rivalries wont work until I go and change this. What do I do? I went and changed every tag champ I had in the universe, vacated any titles not being used on a show. I still get this message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BestInTheWorld614 Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 Had an awesome cutscene in my Club/Shield rivalry. Anderson and Gallows attacked Rollins backstage before a Ambrose/Gallows match. Then after the match Ambrose is being attacked and Rollins makes the save. It was so fluid and really helped the story.

Who are your tag champs? Are they in a tag team or a stable? If they're not that's why you're getting a message. Also if it's a custom team you'll have to remake the team in Universe mode.
