4 Easy Ways to IMPROVE Your UNIVERSE MODE in WWE 2K24!

[@Rob_Rivern]

You did amazing, i'm so glad you followed up. Some quick fix for women's tag would be to have teams moved to raw and introduce a midcard title for women on smackdown, or have the women's tag champions on all brands to defend. In my universe mode I have functional women's tag divisions that I enjoy by doing this, but it takes some time to set up: - Removed Bayley from Damage CTRL and added Asuka - Set Asuka and Dakota Kai as the tag members of Damage CTRL (No Kairi yet) and gave them the titles (they have them in real WWE). Iyo is in the main event scene. - Added new Women's tag titles for Raw (customized the men's tag titles and added a white strap) and gave them to the party girls Then i created some new teams with these divisions: WWE Women's Tag title - Smackdown: - Damage CTRL - Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn - Alexa Bliss & Nikki Cross (Alexa Bliss is also on Raw in the world title scene) - Michin & Shotzi (random face team, loses a lot) - Tamina & Xia Li (random heel team, loses a lot) World Women's Tag title - Raw: - Katana Chance & Kayden Carter - Piper Niven & Chelsea Green - Candice LeRae & Indi Hartwell - Natalya & Tegan Nox - Shayna Baszler & Zoey Stark NXT Women's Tag title, but they are all kinda random: - Fallon Henley & Thea Hail (random face team, they lose alot) - Cora Jade & Jacy Jayne (random heel team, but they win!) - Ivy Nile & Wendy Choo (random face team, they do well) - Natalya & Tegan Nox (they are on both raw and nxt, average on both)

That’s some great ideas! I pinned your comment so others see if that’s cool 😄

[@Pduarte79]

At the moment, I raw 3 brands, but have tag championships disputed between them. I have the current WWE factions, plus old ones, like DX, Hardy Boyz, Bella Twins, etc...plus some from AEW, NJPW and Stardom, like Bullet Club Gold, Blackpool FC, Los Ingobernables do Japon, DDM, Cosmic Angels, etc....to spice up, the tags/factions division.

Universe mode needs drafts every 4 years and also like NBA 2k has auto generated rookies wwe should have auto generated superstars and adds to NXT. It’s like the random superstar feature but 2k needs to improve on that too and make the faces and attires even more randomized.

[@iprincesaint]

thats actually brilliant and i pissed i haven’t thought of that. that would make everything so easy tbh

[@hender_tender1232]

@@iprincesaint I mean technically you could just do that and give them names but then that just takes up space for custom superstars. Also there should be retiring involved too and even progression and regression. Just like NBA 2k myleague does everything.

[@CodeRed41010]

Great idea. Would add a ton of replay value to the mode.

[@togucvinw7]

They technically can and already do that in the gm mode with the locals superstars It’s a shame how much work one has to put in order to make their universe mode even decent. I regret falling for it again this year , should have stayed my ass on 2k23 😢

[@Bears86SB]

I know after the first year in universe mode I have nothing to do with NXT it would be great to get auto generated rookies

[@mariovelez6132]

To add the tag team to the women tag team division, additionally to create the tag team, you need to make sure that both of them are added to that specific brand (Raw, Smackdown, NXT...)

[@CodeRed41010]

I tried that and they still didn’t appear. I may have needed to sim a little further beyond the creation and changing their brands!

[@dareolowe7515]

Superstars can only be in one division at a time, you can’t go for the tag title and the IC title at the same time so anyone you have going for the tag belts can only be ranked in that division, super dumb imo

[@CodeRed41010]

Very dumb! Leads to a lot of repetitiveness smh

[@stevehickman8371]

Yep and people prolly don’t remember but in 2k19 u could be in two divisions

[@raveisalltherage]

Work around is make another major show with the same titles, you can change their divisions like that. Kinda dumb extra step but it gets me tag team stars as solo stars on the same “show”.

[@rishyrish]

Or you just move them to the right division like the game intends like wtf the complaints are stupid

[@m.u.sik4eva]

Preach

[@kashking5465]

Honestly for everyone playing i have played every wwe game out and for the universe what i do is take a piece a paper write each brand 5 times and fold them up shake them up and draft like that and each time i write the superstars under each brand and that way once show starts you'll know each superstar on each brand plus separate column for tag teams on those brands... Always easier to have a sheet/guide to look at while playing...

[@IamCamTaylor]

I usually keep my shows like 5-6 matches long. PLE’s are made longer. Just kinda simplifies things a bit. Also it’d be cool if we could do like a two night WM like IRL

[@davidjohnson4293]

I set up 2 shows for WM.1 on Saturday and 1 on Sunday. After the Saturday show you can delete it off your calendar. Its temporary but it works! 🤷‍♂️

One thing I did was make Main Roster PLE on Saturday, like it is outside the game, and NXT PLE on Sunday right after the Main PLE.

[@davidjohnson4293]

1 thing i miss the most from 2k19. Is when selecting a superstar it actually tells what brand show they are on. I remember in 1 old game you could toggle between Raw-smackdown-ecw etc. And all superstars for that show would be shown in that column. It was the best!!

[@OGDjangoBearYT]

You can literally tab over to the selected show tho and see who’s on what?

[@davidjohnson4293]

@OGDjangoBearYT I mean when booking a match on the character select screen... it was just more convenient

[@Pduarte79]

When you create any team, you need to put them into the same brand and then put them only in the tag division. You can't have one of the members on a different brand or in another division. To fix the issue with Women's tag division and singles division, I included the Stardom joshi superstars and the factions, prior to Rossi Ogawa's departed from Stardom.

[@TheRedlotusblossom]

It doesn't matter if you turn automatic rifle reads off or not it's still going to put rivalry matches in your raw and SmackDown even if you don't have any rivalries. Universe mode is my favorite mode and they shot it right in the face this year

I have 12 womens tag teams and the issue I have is the rankings still don’t change, the teams don’t move up or down in the ranks even if I try move them manually. For all divisions I just take out every contender and only have who I want to challlenge for the title in the division.

[@timellison1239]

One thing i do with the women's Tag is i place the title holders on both brands.

[@shawnscreems3144]

Best thing to do is switch between classic and superstar mode. You can do that! Change the wrestlers power ratings to make them win more if you sim.

[@808saturn]

is there a way to sim to and not have any title changes? i like to set rivalries during week 1 and then just sim to the PPV but there’s always a weird title change that throws everything off even though none are scheduled in the match table for weekly shows.

[@CodeRed41010]

Try going into the tables of your weekly shows and turning the championship option off on each show and match type. Should make it where there’s no title matches on weekly shows

[@GLOBEREVIEWS]

Having to do a separate roster just for universe , instead of using your exhibition roster and teams is a major pain in the ass

[@Pduarte79]

For Championship matches to appear in PPVS, you need to set what matches are main-events and if they are Championship or not. And if use the rivalry thingy, but the champion vs the contender in high intensity rivalry, those normally become Championship matches in the PPVS. Even I mentioned early, even if I booking for a minor PPV. For the female tags, since I use alot of joshi and other promotions CAWS, since NJPW and Stardom are faction based, I tend to add the Stardom factions into the tag division. Putting the weaker members on the tags, while the leaders are in the singles division.

[@Pduarte79]

I normally, I do like in Japan, NJPW being only male and Stardom being only female. Meaning, the Raw is the male show and Smackdown is the female show. And use the Nxt or other, as a minor show, to give some screen time to minor superstars and my added CAWs. My PPVS are like the UFC ones, like having a minor fight night PPV to mess around the divisions rankings and then have the big PPVS for title defenses. And since is an one year calendar, I do 6 male PPVS and 6 female PPVS, 3 minor PPVs and 3 major PPVs. So it's works for a multiple seasonal run, instead of only a few seasons.

[@charlesbenz4174]

For the tag divisions have you tried first manually having a match for the women's tag titles and having the team win. Then it should show them in the rankings?

If you have custom women's tag belts. You can set contendership

Good idea. I’ll have to try that! 🤔

[@BrionTV]

@CodeRed41010 but yes. You'll need to create teams. Also. You can create rivalries between an established team and 2 non team members. Toggle for a title match and have them win the belts. I had to do this because for some reason I couldn't team Ivy and Maxine because they were already part of different factions.

[@TherealAGH]

In order to fix the women’s tag division you have to make the women fight for both SmackDown and RAW. The game sees that the champs are on raw so it will never use the smackdown women. I personally split the championships one on raw and one on smackdown.

[@marcus5265]

Asuka and alexa are on different brands, you can only put a team in the tag division if they're in the same show

I'm not a fan of wwe tv but I do enjoy the game. With that said I can't stand most of the default roster. In my universe delete raw and nxt. Then I'll add a custom show of ECW, WCW, or NJPW. Most of the roster for this show will be default roster people that worked other places and some caws. Then I'll add a third show that's a made up custom federation. This show is all caws. The biggest issue is going through the roster list in universe to make sure your talent isn't double booked. Then it is a pain to make custom ppvs (hate ple) but worth it in the end. The one major issue I have, and have had in universe since svr 06, is the game always tries to assign random valets during certain matches every card. The people in the match are from the shows roster. The valets are usually free agents or from another show.
