Some other tips that help: A) If the roster for a major show (RAW, SD, etc) is over 40, add a minor show for that show It helps with allowing the wrestlers to fight, advance rivalries, adjust power rankings/divisions faster to avoid endless rematches B) Browse through your roster and clear the default allies and enemies for your wrestlers. They will start new rivalries and manage it better through the rivalry system/rivalry actions. This matters more if you don't follow the default rosters, and you got X on a show while their level 5 enemy Y is on a completely different one. C) If a match looks weird, check the rivalry action taking place that match. There are some messy ones, for example: X & Y have a match, and the rivalry action is "X will callout Y from stage". For that to be possible, the ai will change your X vs Y match into a random wrestler vs Y, so that X can come after the match to callout Y. D) He's right about the PLEs on the last day of the calendar. The rivalry system needs 3 weeks to conclude in the 4th week at a PLE. If you run NXT, you will have to add the NXT PLEs on the third sunday, and after the first month they will work as normal (because there will be a gap of 4 weeks between each one that is next)
The fact that you’re an actual human being, & not an AI; add in the fact that you actually seem to have some charisma & a presentable attitude; yeah, I’ll like this video.
Universe mode is the mode I played the most in the last few years and the fact that they’ve completely abandoned it and did nothing to fix the bugs with every update has made me decide to never pay for a WWE game ever again.
I really hate that they went two years without touching the mode for WWE 2K22 and they somehow made it worse during its life cycle by removing the random attire option and rivalry compatible option. And to add insult to injury, they remove show intros and next match feature the year after. I wouldn't be surprised if they scrapped the mode because they clearly don't care about it and are trying to make it worse to get people to play my faction
When doing ECW Universe Mode, I always create 3 Way and Four Way Dance matches, using the custom match creator. They are basically extreme triple threat and fatal four ways with eliminations turned on. Easy to create and gives it that authentic ECW feel.
I’ve done this method. Made Raw the main show with Smackdown on Thursdays as my minor show. I got about 66 people on my roster with just 5 titles & one PPV at the end of each month. It’s run pretty smoothly so far. Got it set back in 2018 with a bunch of created wrestlers like Rusev & Adam Cole.
I took my inspiration from other sources, have a male brand and female brand like NJPW and Stardom. Set up, my divisions the way, I wanted, so that AI don't mess up, the auto-booking for the weekly shows, since people will only face, others of the same division. Make my divisions work similar to how they work in UFC/Soccer leagues, rankings and wins matter. Since when you don't do the rivalries, the PPVs bookings are based on the divisions rankings, especially the title ones. And about PPVs, I do similar to UFC, in minor PPVs, I make rankings matches that affect the rankings and positions, leaving the title defenses only for the bigger PPVs. And the promotion from midcarders to main-eventers or relegation from main-eventers to midcarders is through division ranking by the end of the season. This make Universe mode to become similar to a mix of NJPW and Stardom with UFC/soccer leagues vibes, by treating each division like a Soccer League. I don't know, if USA has one league or more, but most Soccer countries have normally the biggest league and then lower leagues and promotions and relegations occur in the end of the season. And since it doesn't have promos, is easier for me, to do some similar to NJPW and Stardom, than WWE or AEW. And always run a Forbidden door type of Universe mode, expands my fantasy bookings and increases the competiveness and quality, by bringing the bigger names of other promotions.
I did my UM like this for a while now. For me that’s the best way to use it. I also sim a whole year pretty much every other year to add some history and get some unexpected results. Keeps it fresh, like the AI creating some random tag teams.
I kept everything as is but changed the Rosters on RAW & SMACKDOWN to 20 superstars with 6 matches.(I kept NXT with 14 superstars with 4 matches because i play every show) Aside from the occasional cutscene that makes zero sense, my universe works smoothly. I just wish they gave us the option to run in on matches with any superstar we choose, instead of having to rely on selecting which "Rival action" we want to happen during the match. Knowing which cutscene will play beforehand kinda takes away from the experience tbh. I hope 2K never scrapes this mode like they did with MyCAREER. I actually still enjoy universe mode.
To deal with a larger roster of stars in each brand, I've created 4 main divisions, each having 10 stars each that work like Soccer leagues, like I mentioned before, 1 main-eventer, 2 midcarder and 1 that is basically the NXT or ROH division without the need of a minor show and plus the tag division. Like NJPW and Stardom has alot of tag, trios and 8 men tag matches, I included those in my match card, aswell triple threats and fatal way matches and increase the match to 8 to 9 per weekly shows, giving 2 matches per division in each weekly show. So all divisions, have a chance to shine and mess around the win/loses and the rankings position in each division. Similar to how a Soccer Leagues work, everyone ends up facing each other, inside the same division. And I do sim AI vs AI matches with tweaked mechanics. Aswell I created matches, that mirror the matches, you see in NJPW, Stardom, Marigold, etc...timed matches, count outs of 20, instead of 10, etc...
Universe Mode on PS4 is messed right up! Unless I use Nitro on Monday, I cannot select a player. I have to enter the match and then assign the controller, meaning no star ratings or in-game money earned. Is there any solution for this?
I had a match earlier and I’m sure it was a glitch , extreme tag between the Dudley boys, sandman and terry funk. Bubba put terry thru a flaming table and the flames never left, the apron was on fire for the whole 15min match. Every table I smashed, never de spawned. I’m not complaining I actually think it’s stupid that things disappear after you break them, since when did anyone ask for that? It would look way better if they stayed
Bro did they fix the loading times taking too long ? Cause whenever i download more than 20+ caws in community creation the loading times takes too long, like 1 minute per loading times in screen.
They need to put the draft inside the universe mode live promos backstage attacks backstage promos when they come out to the ring promos and they need to put the draft who get drafted to each brand like live talk about it like promos get drafted that need to be inside the universe mode that would be awesome a draft universe mode with live promos who decided to get drafted to each show
I've read mixed things about having automatic rivalries on....personally I just watch everything and want things to happen organically....so I left it on...🤔
Hi, first of all, thank you for the explanation it really helps a lot judging by other users comments I'm totally new to this game and I wanted to ask a few question if you can answer, I feel totally dumb because I never watched WWE last decade and more since it got removed in my country after Chris Benoit's death Q1. If I follow your method, and let's say I have Raw (untouched as you did), NXT and Smackdown, can the superstars be automatically booked against each other even if they're from different shows? (For example a match with X from Smackdown vs Y from Raw in one of the two shows) Q2. If the answer to Q1 is yes, do I have to put the superstars of a tag team together as participants in the same show? And Rivalries should be between superstars from the same show too? (for example brothers of destruction both on Smackdown) Q3. If the answer to Q1 is no, if I put the same titles on all my three divisions (exception for MITB obv) they can all automatically compete for the titles or I have to manually switch them everytime between the shows? (F.E. let's say I have Rey Mysterio on Raw and Eddie Guerrero on Smackdown but I want them to compete for the WWE undisputed champion belt, the game can do it automatically or I have to put them together as participants in the same Show even if the Belts they can win are the same for all of them) Sorry for asking but I don't really understand how it works, in the game and in real life too, this system (draft like one) isn't used too much in Europe in sports so I'm having a hard time figuring everything out. Thank you for your time and thanks to everyone will spend some time to answer me, I love this community
Only superstars that you have on each show will wrestle on the respective brands. So, if you want certain guys or women on your roster, you have to assign them. The Raw untouched is mainly for custom universe setups.
My universe has me stuck on money in the bank, defending the us title I just beat Rey mysterio for earlier on the same show. I’ve defended the title 6 times, on the same night I just won it, against the same guy. Is there any workaround?
How do you get people to interfere in a match that's not a cash-in, and can you do betrayal? And if i wanted to start a new universe, is there a way i can save my current tag teams and factions?
How do you make the person come out with the money in the bank briefcase? I just finished the PPV and the next night the person comes out without it, and it makes them try and cash in every single night and it’s annoying, I want to be the one to decide when they cash in. Any tips?
So in my universe, there’s always a championship match on raw. The royal rumble winner never has a match at Mania. Do you have any tips on how to fix this? I put bron breaker & ricochet in a rivalry for the IC title, bout time we got to the PPV, it was just a single match because Bron lost the title on raw.
@@theprowrestlingshootI wish someone could legit break down like how this game works in regards to universe mode. Like why do things get all messed up if we don't do this? And the power ranking, is that based on lets say stone cold is having 4 to 5 star matches 2 or 3 weeks in a row , does his power rank go up because he's winning every week or because the match got a really good rating? I want 2k to actually work out these kinks because we shouldn't have to do all this extraness so the game does what it's actually supposed to do.. Something I'd love is if they'd give us a show rating in universe mode.. or just give us the option to have a budget or do free play. I know gm mode has that but I really hate the system it has where it's idk.. brutes vs. High flyers n if you do the same class the match doesn't always go well.. eh it's handcuffing the player when we can't book matches we've seen on the actual shows but oh in the game it's a...styles clash ..😂
My answer is edit the match to what you want. Why does everyone just let the game mess up their universe mode with rivalries, titles, and matches when you can easily just edit it? Royal Rumble winner isn’t in the title match at Mania? Edit the match and put him or her in there. Easy,
I guess people do universe differently than I do it. I don’t do match tables or automatic rivalries. I also keep all 3 shows and the rosters full and big, about 40 per show. I do 9 matches and 14 for PLE’s. I thought the point of universe is to do what you want? This is setting it up for the AI to run your universe for you. I make every single match I want on every show, again, I thought that was the point?
Do you play the matches yourself or do you simulate them or do simming AI vs AI matches? It happens to me, aswell, I don't see other people doing similar to my approach. They either copy the current product, do certain era or promotions. And may or not use spreadsheets, pen and papers to keep track of what happens. I also work around what they give you, with tweaking the AI behaviour, putting the matches tables and type of matches, I want it. And mess around with, mostly the divisions and rankings, that mostly fixes some of the AI-self erroneous weekly booking. Because the AI auto-booking is mainly based on divisions/rankings and in title matches, it always puts the #1 in the ranking vs the champion, when you don't do "Rivalries".
@Pduarte79 I play them. But my outlook is, if I have to edit every single match, every ppv, every rivalry action, every rivalry, then I might as well just play My GM. Where I have full control. I've never understood people complaining about the "worry of dealing with logistics and editing" when they turn around and edit every single thing each show, each PLE in Universe. I personally would like a mindless experience and an element of surprise when playing The Universe mode. I also don't understand people who simulate and watch matches on a game when we have endless real pro wrestling to watch at our fingertips. I want to be IN the match.
@@theprowrestlingshoot Each enjoy their own thing. Myself I don't get people that copy basically what they see in WWE and AEW, etc...where's the imagination in that. That's a subjective take, without any right or wrong answers. People that enjoy play every single matches and track and record every little thing that occurs, if they find enjoyment in that, cool. But I don't. Like the dude above, I like my approach, that honestly, I saw alot of Universe modes, either playing or simming AI vs AI, they end up being very samey, since they also do the same approach copy current WWE or any promotion, do a certain era or promotions. Since I'm not obsessed or am I control freak, instead of the hassle and it's boring for me, I prefer to tweak the AI, matches tables, type of matches, rankings and positions and stats. And the same way, I don't control, when I watch the real product and simply enjoy what occurs before me. By not having, a WWE/AEW soapy opera scripted narrative, so and so as to win or loss, like being like a real fight, similar to UFC and One Championship, where I don't know the outcome, that randomness and unpredictability gives me fun and enjoyment. And also gives me more a fluid/dynamic in my booking with the way, I play around minor and major PPVs, isn't your cup of tea, but is my mine. Some may prefer NFL, others FIFA and PES, I like Championship and Football manager. And I now, I got Mygm, but I prefer the sand-box and total freedom of Universe mode. And this videos are tips and tricks. Not "do MY WAY or else." or "MY WAY is better and superior way, while yours is poopy." It’s subjective. Not everyone cooks rice the same way and even cooking similar, the taste differs. Ps: AJ Styles vs Akira or Brock vs R Truth, only occurs when you don't tweak your divisions. The game tells you that 😅, AI self-booking is based in Divisions/rankings. Put Akira, R Truth in a undercard or midcard title division. Put Aj Styles and Brock Lesnar in the main eventers or whatever divisions, problem solved. 😅 Like I said, most enjoy the control freak aspect, others play around the AI. Is like playing modern Persona, you like Direct Commands Party members, go forward. You don't mind AI controlling the party members, you got simplified FF12 gambit system. Depends on the player style and preference.
@@Pduarte79 as long as you are happy, that's all that matters. I usually run a custom universe as well. I don't normally do a universe that is exactly the same as what you see on WWE. If I'm doing WWE, I'm mixing it up with some guys from AEW ECW TNA and legends of all kinds. I don't do the same roster the company usually runs.
What I did was reset all enemies and allies to blank then set a major show on weds with 10 on roster any 10 then deleted all ppv the SD,next,then raw, then reset all titles so no holders go back to calendar set my 1 major 1 minor ( I have 70 on roster ) then deleted the show I set up on weds set ppv end of each month amd it works spot on for me
Why can’t you turn rivalries and all options off. Create 7 shows. With whoever you want. And edit all matches for that show. Keep track of wins/losses. Based on the month, at ppv time just edit matches??
Thanks for this. It helps. I usually customize everything if I play. This might be a dumb question, but does the system treat doubles as regular guys. Like if I wanted a rivalry between the rock and the rock or Austin vs Austin, it will treat it as a regular thing, right? I hope I can enjoy it more this year.
Not sure tbh. They haven't added that feature yet. But you can set up champion match on your match table. I personally don't, because chances are it will do it for you if you delete all the other match types on your show except the matches you want. Normally it will have 6 man tag and other types of matches as default. Delete those, and only have 1v1 or 2v2 with the percentage 100% and be specific on how many matches like that you want on the card. Only set 1 to main event and championship match.
@@theprowrestlingshoot The feature in the game, you just can not select it when doing custom match setting. Very odd to have it but not be able to select it at any time. IT was also in last two games and still they never fixed it.
Hey I know you said that your AEW universe is on a different system (if I’m not mistaken) but if you were to ever show us how to make an AEW style universe can that be a possibility? I’d love to see how you went in and set that up.
It's not broken. Unfortunately, they made those rivalry actions within the mode. You have to MANUALLY select that option. Which I can't stand. I'd like my universe to flow naturally, and unfortunately, it just doesn't work that way anymore.
@@theprowrestlingshoot that's a shame such potential to create a great universe, wish they spent less time in my faction (which doesn't interest me plus a cash grab) and more time perfecting Universe Mode.
I feel like 2K is just going to scrap universe mode. It sucks because it's such a great wrestling sandbox and it's overall my favorite way to play the game. But they only ever seem to remove features and never actually fix a lot of the common bugs it has. It sucks because for me it just gives me a little more context for playing the game. I get kind of bored just playing exhibition matches over and over. I like that universe mode even by default starts to spin at least somewhat of a narrative around who's fighting and why I missed the show intros though, I'm sure a lot of people skip to them all the time but I liked watching the fireworks. 2K19 for me had the best universe out of any of these recent entries with it. And even that game at its share of bugs
I like beach bytes method... Got raw nxt and smackdown on the days they are supposed to be... And WWE main event weds.. they all work.. u just have to delete the ple and put them 3 and 4th week everything works fine. You have to do that and attach each show to the minor show which is main event.. everything working perfectly for me on PS5.. I tried it this way and it didn't work
Is mine the only one that isn’t broken, I’ve got 6 shows raw, nxt, ecw, wcw, smackdown and Saturday nights main event, and a ppv every Sunday for each shows ppv main roster ppv, ecw ppvs, wcw ppvs, and nxt ppvs
Can we define "broken"? What exactly is wrong with the mode that all this advice is supposed to correct? Specific examples of "broken" would be helpful.
I went back and looked at the video again. I see a few specific examples in the second half of the video. Early on I heard a lot of "broken", "issues", "run better", "run smoother" etc. . The entire time I'm thinking "what is he referring to? Is it something that is going on with my game"? It wasn't very clear for me.
@forehandchief23 Rivalry doesn't work properly. PLE Pay Offs don't work properly. Many other things can break as well. I show a system that runs fairly smooth with minimal issues. It's not going to completely make universe the mode of modes, but it will fix some broken things within it.
Broken? My card changes every time I leave. The matches say 1-1 then it's randomly a tag with different people. Nothing is working the way it should. Plus, I just got this one so I have to fuck with the sliders a bit now.
If it works for you, do it! That's really all that matters. This is just a method I've done for years and runs smoothly. There really is no "right way" or "wrong way" to do it as long as it's working for you the way you like.
AEW Sucks elephant ball's. I've been watching this waste of fles 16:04 h business since 1981. And AEW was cute att first but I got Tony killing himself though good day mate.

A) If the roster for a major show (RAW, SD, etc) is over 40, add a minor show for that show

I know gm mode has that but I really hate the system it has where it's idk.. brutes vs. High flyers n if you do the same class the match doesn't always go well.. eh it's handcuffing the player when we can't book matches we've seen on the actual shows but oh in the game it's a...styles clash ..😂
My answer is edit the match to what you want. Why does everyone just let the game mess up their universe mode with rivalries, titles, and matches when you can easily just edit it? Royal Rumble winner isn’t in the title match at Mania? Edit the match and put him or her in there. Easy,
@@PERKSreCAP this is also effective. I fully understand doing this. This video was just made for those who want to see things play out.
@@PERKSreCAPwe shouldn’t have to do that genius! The game should work like it’s supposed to
Is there a way to fix a bug where your game thinks a show/arena is connected to your universe when it isn't?
I guess people do universe differently than I do it. I don’t do match tables or automatic rivalries. I also keep all 3 shows and the rosters full and big, about 40 per show. I do 9 matches and 14 for PLE’s. I thought the point of universe is to do what you want? This is setting it up for the AI to run your universe for you. I make every single match I want on every show, again, I thought that was the point?
The point is to run it the way you'd like. If that works for you, then that's awesome!
Do you play the matches yourself or do you simulate them or do simming AI vs AI matches? It happens to me, aswell, I don't see other people doing similar to my approach. They either copy the current product, do certain era or promotions. And may or not use spreadsheets, pen and papers to keep track of what happens. I also work around what they give you, with tweaking the AI behaviour, putting the matches tables and type of matches, I want it. And mess around with, mostly the divisions and rankings, that mostly fixes some of the AI-self erroneous weekly booking. Because the AI auto-booking is mainly based on divisions/rankings and in title matches, it always puts the #1 in the ranking vs the champion, when you don't do "Rivalries".
@Pduarte79 I play them. But my outlook is, if I have to edit every single match, every ppv, every rivalry action, every rivalry, then I might as well just play My GM. Where I have full control. I've never understood people complaining about the "worry of dealing with logistics and editing" when they turn around and edit every single thing each show, each PLE in Universe. I personally would like a mindless experience and an element of surprise when playing The Universe mode. I also don't understand people who simulate and watch matches on a game when we have endless real pro wrestling to watch at our fingertips. I want to be IN the match.
@@theprowrestlingshoot
Each enjoy their own thing. Myself I don't get people that copy basically what they see in WWE and AEW, etc...where's the imagination in that. That's a subjective take, without any right or wrong answers. People that enjoy play every single matches and track and record every little thing that occurs, if they find enjoyment in that, cool. But I don't. Like the dude above, I like my approach, that honestly, I saw alot of Universe modes, either playing or simming AI vs AI, they end up being very samey, since they also do the same approach copy current WWE or any promotion, do a certain era or promotions. Since I'm not obsessed or am I control freak, instead of the hassle and it's boring for me, I prefer to tweak the AI, matches tables, type of matches, rankings and positions and stats. And the same way, I don't control, when I watch the real product and simply enjoy what occurs before me. By not having, a WWE/AEW soapy opera scripted narrative, so and so as to win or loss, like being like a real fight, similar to UFC and One Championship, where I don't know the outcome, that randomness and unpredictability gives me fun and enjoyment. And also gives me more a fluid/dynamic in my booking with the way, I play around minor and major PPVs, isn't your cup of tea, but is my mine. Some may prefer NFL, others FIFA and PES, I like Championship and Football manager. And I now, I got Mygm, but I prefer the sand-box and total freedom of Universe mode.
And this videos are tips and tricks. Not "do MY WAY or else." or "MY WAY is better and superior way, while yours is poopy." It’s subjective. Not everyone cooks rice the same way and even cooking similar, the taste differs.
Ps: AJ Styles vs Akira or Brock vs R Truth, only occurs when you don't tweak your divisions. The game tells you that 😅, AI self-booking is based in Divisions/rankings. Put Akira, R Truth in a undercard or midcard title division. Put Aj Styles and Brock Lesnar in the main eventers or whatever divisions, problem solved. 😅
Like I said, most enjoy the control freak aspect, others play around the AI. Is like playing modern Persona, you like Direct Commands Party members, go forward. You don't mind AI controlling the party members, you got simplified FF12 gambit system. Depends on the player style and preference.
@@Pduarte79 as long as you are happy, that's all that matters. I usually run a custom universe as well. I don't normally do a universe that is exactly the same as what you see on WWE. If I'm doing WWE, I'm mixing it up with some guys from AEW ECW TNA and legends of all kinds. I don't do the same roster the company usually runs.
What I did was reset all enemies and allies to blank then set a major show on weds with 10 on roster any 10 then deleted all ppv the SD,next,then raw, then reset all titles so no holders go back to calendar set my 1 major 1 minor ( I have 70 on roster ) then deleted the show I set up on weds set ppv end of each month amd it works spot on for me
Awesome! Glad it's running good for ya.
Why can’t you turn rivalries and all options off. Create 7 shows. With whoever you want. And edit all matches for that show. Keep track of wins/losses. Based on the month, at ppv time just edit matches??
You can certainly do this. If you are editing everything anyway, there's no reason to change a thing.
Tag & Trio entrances be not working the shit is sad
Definitely need to try out some of the information provided here.
Definitely try it, and let me know how it's helped or not helped!
Thanks for this. It helps. I usually customize everything if I play. This might be a dumb question, but does the system treat doubles as regular guys. Like if I wanted a rivalry between the rock and the rock or Austin vs Austin, it will treat it as a regular thing, right?
I hope I can enjoy it more this year.
I've honestly never tried this, so I don't have an answer. But give it a shot!
Speaking from experience everything else is uncivilized please remember that kids
why cant you go to Rivalry One on One/two on two and select those to be main even and championship matches?
Not sure tbh. They haven't added that feature yet. But you can set up champion match on your match table. I personally don't, because chances are it will do it for you if you delete all the other match types on your show except the matches you want. Normally it will have 6 man tag and other types of matches as default. Delete those, and only have 1v1 or 2v2 with the percentage 100% and be specific on how many matches like that you want on the card. Only set 1 to main event and championship match.
@@theprowrestlingshoot The feature in the game, you just can not select it when doing custom match setting. Very odd to have it but not be able to select it at any time. IT was also in last two games and still they never fixed it.
Hey I know you said that your AEW universe is on a different system (if I’m not mistaken) but if you were to ever show us how to make an AEW style universe can that be a possibility? I’d love to see how you went in and set that up.
The same way I showed on here basically.
@@theprowrestlingshootI’d live to see a live stream of it one day but I’m gonna try to work on it and see how it goes.
@@Philouimette_ I'm live streaming it in 10 mins
I have yet to see a run in during a universe match. But in exhibition they do it every match lol is my Universe broken ?
It's not broken. Unfortunately, they made those rivalry actions within the mode. You have to MANUALLY select that option. Which I can't stand. I'd like my universe to flow naturally, and unfortunately, it just doesn't work that way anymore.
@@theprowrestlingshoot I mean I’ve had run ins as a cut scene but never just randomly
@anonymousnostalgia7674 yeah, I'm not sure they happen randomly in universe. I never see it.
I hate having to import my roster after changing every one attribute.
Yeah, that's annoying.
If you have 2 shows one women's and one men's does the men's and woman's money in the bank, royal matches and wargames work?
I honestly haven't tried it. But based on tons of feedback, I doubt it.
@@theprowrestlingshoot that's a shame such potential to create a great universe, wish they spent less time in my faction (which doesn't interest me plus a cash grab) and more time perfecting Universe Mode.
@@johnpatchett9263 I agree, man. This mode is 100% the mode they need to be perfecting
I already deleted my monday show. 🥺 im doing TNA and made show on Thursdays
If it's working for you, that's all that matters!
Hi can make a Women's universe mode setup using the same method?
Absolutely!
Whats about add a minor show will that mess it up
@@pellcity2007 no. I have a minor show with my AEW Universe.
I feel like 2K is just going to scrap universe mode. It sucks because it's such a great wrestling sandbox and it's overall my favorite way to play the game. But they only ever seem to remove features and never actually fix a lot of the common bugs it has.
It sucks because for me it just gives me a little more context for playing the game. I get kind of bored just playing exhibition matches over and over. I like that universe mode even by default starts to spin at least somewhat of a narrative around who's fighting and why
I missed the show intros though, I'm sure a lot of people skip to them all the time but I liked watching the fireworks. 2K19 for me had the best universe out of any of these recent entries with it. And even that game at its share of bugs
Next time I play I'll use this method because the game does not work properly
what about automatic rivalries turn them off or leave them on?
I keep them on.
I like beach bytes method... Got raw nxt and smackdown on the days they are supposed to be... And WWE main event weds.. they all work.. u just have to delete the ple and put them 3 and 4th week everything works fine. You have to do that and attach each show to the minor show which is main event.. everything working perfectly for me on PS5.. I tried it this way and it didn't work
This method works perfectly fine. Been doing it for years. But if you have yours working the way you like, then that's all that matters.
@@theprowrestlingshoot yours works perfectly dude.. I just like his because I have more shows
Will this work with a current universe? Or do we need to make a new universe?
You mean a show that's already started ?
@@theprowrestlingshoot yeah, I’m in like year 3 on my universe currently.
@xMOxSmoke I'm not sure it would work. I've always done it at the start.
@@theprowrestlingshoot that’s what I’ll do then. Mines all messed up atm.
Is there an ending to the universal mode?
No
@theprowrestlingshoot thanks... so my rise its is
wwe2k24 is literally my last wwe game atp
Not here at The TSE aka The Top Shelf Experience Of Professional Wrestling
There's some universe in glitches mode 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Thank you for this video.

Is mine the only one that isn’t broken, I’ve got 6 shows raw, nxt, ecw, wcw, smackdown and Saturday nights main event, and a ppv every Sunday for each shows ppv main roster ppv, ecw ppvs, wcw ppvs, and nxt ppvs
That's dope!

@@theprowrestlingshootthe old games broke when I tried to do this but this game seems to be okay when I made it
Great tips!

9 Monday matches 9 Wednesday matched Friday 5 to 9 matches. Everything else is uncivilized I say I say.
Who else is not having a tag team division in their universe mode?
I am having more women matches even when i have 4 times more men in the roster
Can we define "broken"? What exactly is wrong with the mode that all this advice is supposed to correct? Specific examples of "broken" would be helpful.
I give them all throughout the video, my dude.
I went back and looked at the video again. I see a few specific examples in the second half of the video. Early on I heard a lot of "broken", "issues", "run better", "run smoother" etc. . The entire time I'm thinking "what is he referring to? Is it something that is going on with my game"? It wasn't very clear for me.
@forehandchief23 Rivalry doesn't work properly. PLE Pay Offs don't work properly. Many other things can break as well. I show a system that runs fairly smooth with minimal issues. It's not going to completely make universe the mode of modes, but it will fix some broken things within it.
Broken? My card changes every time I leave. The matches say 1-1 then it's randomly a tag with different people. Nothing is working the way it should. Plus, I just got this one so I have to fuck with the sliders a bit now.
😅 the absolute best thing you can do is Monday Wednesday Friday
If it works for you, do it! That's really all that matters. This is just a method I've done for years and runs smoothly. There really is no "right way" or "wrong way" to do it as long as it's working for you the way you like.
Yes my is broken
Try this out. Rivalry and cuts scenes should all work fine. Other than that. It's still the universe mode we always get unfortunately.
I never had this problem. WTFS though
Must be nice, haha.
The whole game runs like dogshit. Last time I’ll ever buy anything with 2k on it.
It's unfortunate.
I had to uninstall the game just for it to work then it deleted it 😂😂thanks 2k thanks 🙄
Wow! Haha.
AEW Sucks elephant ball's. I've been watching this waste of fles 16:04 h business since 1981. And AEW was cute att first but I got Tony killing himself though good day mate.

I meant why is aew in this game
A video of the same thing everybody says and does but in your way holy shit but its worse
To be honest, this video is months old at this point. After 24 patches universe is more broken than ever.
Yeah its broken but at least is better than dog 💩 MyFaction
