Has anyone had any of these 200 "paul heyman written" storylines yet in universe mode? I have a feeling dirty THQ effed us over yet again...

+1 on this. Apparently he wrote the story creation scenes. So yep they lied like heck to us!

Downloaded Hashtag_Heel's CAW and paired us up for a Boards.ie stable. A feud has already started with another CAW tag team. Recording the outcome.

Deadly! Mind if I nick that video for my channel?

No bother.

All I can say is that our teamwork was shortlived. Part 2 is currently uploading.

That was awesome.
Wish you had a 360 too though, mitch.

Online is seriously annoying. Every ranked match I join is a 2 on 1 tornado tag handicap match against me, with the 2 other players after maxing out their CAW stats. And if it's not a handicap match, everyone gangs up and me anyway for some reason.

Aaaaand this happened the very next week. Maybe we proved too popular for Universe mode to handle.
(To keep it fair, I let the CPU fight it out whenever it was one-on-one)

Just speared HHH through the barricade as Lita, had to be done.

I hope this is a common bug (on PS3)...in Universe Mode when trying to edit a match on a show with a custom Arena, the game just freezes. Kinda sucks as i downloaded a class Backlash Arena to replace Extereme Rules. I wanted to change a match up but it just froze on the Red X loading screen.

I also made a custom Velocity arena for Thursdays and the same thing happened. Kinda **** if u cant edit matches with custom arenas. kinda defeats the purpose of it really :mad:

What are Koobski and #Heel's stats?

You have to unlock 2 story packs in Attitude Mode. Some users heavily suggest you set up a lot of teams, stables, allies and foes upon on unlocking those. Too personally I am going to await until all the DLC comes out before giving all that a bash.

Finally! Someone has the same issue I have. This seems to be a problem alright. It took me a while to figure out what was going on. Yeah, it sucks.

Also, does anyone know, can you defend the non major titles in any match? For some reason I couldn't put Ryder's championship on the line in a match.

I guess you could just switch back to a default arena, then edit the match. Then switch back to created arena when matches are set. gonna try that now....ill up date you when its done

EDIT: that seems to work just fine...pain in the a$$ but its a quick fix. Apparetnly there is gonna be a patch on the way soon to fix this and other things.

MitchKoobski

I made the roster as realistic as possible by removing anyone who wasn't currently on the weekly active roster. Started to notice a lot of repetition in the matches so I turned everyone back on and gave the Attitude Era versions their own show. It's made thing a lot more varied.

Been setting all CAWs stats to 94 for the last two games or so. Got tired of seeing my CAWs lose whenever I simulated a match from the menu screen. Ever since then its been an even 50/50 or thereabouts. They are all the same number, but not necessarily the exact same attributes.

WWE 13's maker THQ needs change for the bus it seems.

THQ’s fiscal 2013 second quarter call today was not filled with much joy, and the company was quick to end it.

Firstly, South Park: The Stick of Truth was scheduled for March 5, 2013, but it’s now scheduled for “early fiscal 2014,” which means sometime after March 31, 2013. Company of Heroes 2 and Metro: Last Light are now both scheduled for vague releases in March, though presumably before the fiscal year is up on March 31.

Darksiders II was released to a decent amount of fanfare in August, but it hasn’t translated into stellar sales, with THQ characterizing the sequel as having underperformed.

The company also refused to issue any financial guidance for the future, and cancelled the traditional Q&A session with analysts and investors at the end of the call. THQ basically hung up the phone, but alluded to the publisher continuing to have money flow problems as it continues its painful transition.

It doesn’t seem like things are going to get any easier at THQ anytime soon.

Only Assassins Creed III beat WWE13 in the Uk charts but I doubt thats enough to save Thq. I just hope they can release Metro and South Park before then.

Tinie

I really hope thq lose the wwe licence over the next year pr 2 as id love to see what EA or Ubisoft could do with it. Its obvious from playing recent thq games that they are doing anything to save a few cent and its affecting the games overall.

Was that an attitude era storyline? I thought inter-gender fights werent possible in the game

Haven't got that far. But how I would approach it would be jumping out of the ring at the bell and beating the sh*te out of Hawk. Injuring Hawk to the degree that it lessens Animals inclination to tag him and upping your momentum in the process to at least the signature stage then rolling back into the ring and then hit Animal with a signature then my finish. Significantly hurting Animal if not pinning him.

Finally got that done last night, and then sped through most of the other off script matches ... except for the Chris Jericho one. Don't know how many times I had to restart that so I could powerbomb Roaddog through the table.

Worth it to see all the unlockables unlocked!

Penn

It's too easy to break some of the tables and stuff. I did a Russian Leg Sweep beside a table (trying to weaken them so I could put them through the table) and it put them through the table. I mean, mission accomplished... but still...

He was managing Steph in the attitude era campaign and was a right annoying prick doing so.

Ah right.

Btw, anyone noticed that, compared to last years game, the AI seem to counter and reverse your moves a lot more often?

Yes every fecking 3rd move is a reverse! Although thanks to the hints I am now 100% better at reversals this year compared to last years game.

THQ announces earnings report after poor sales, stocks fall 46%

THQ is currently worth around $11 million USD, hardly half the budget of a single major title.

Looks like THQ wont have wwe licence much longer...

Ridley

Disappointing that you can't do King of the Ring online. I imagine having to wait around while others finished matches would be a problem but it would be nice to have the option and it's not like some horrible design flaw has ever stopped Them before.

So glad Helmsley has Ode to Joy though. Was sure they were going to give him

My xbox seems to hate it when i try to wrestle in a custom arena with a CAW and created title...

So much about his intro and music reminds me of Damien Sandow. Possible future match when Sandows dlc hits.

Thinking of creating a title/belt for Sandow seeing as how they wont give him one irl
