[@dbuck2862]

any clue why Match Table Rivalry one on one, and Two on two can not be selected for main events and championships?

[@LetsPlayerAshe]

I swear if they ever just combine MyGm & Universe like every other sports game, WWE 2k would be so much better 😭😭😭

[@TouAngel312]

That's what I said. A hybrid of both. Giving the actual long calendar of universe mode with editing the match card and keep the rating system from the gm mode.

[@heavyjukebox6483]

And if only they didn’t get rid of Create-A-Story mode…. In a perfect world with a perfect game they would just make it optional to simulate all three into one satisfying mode.

[@Pduarte79]

Scrap Superstar mode. And have 2 options in Universe mode, GM mode and God mode. One plays like Mygm, while the other is basically free play, without the GM stuff.

[@FosterFreeze]

I always enjoy adding the Hardcore Title division. You can tell I grew up with the Attitude Era.

[@scaberouswretch3673]

The way I set up universe mode usually works really well. I change Raw to WCW nitro. I change NXT to ECW, and I change smackdown to a generic WWE show. I get rid of all the NXT pay per views and some of the WWE ones, then I swap them for ECW and WCW pay per views using downloaded shows. Then on Thursdays I have the WCW Japan supershow and on Saturday I have the Saturday night main event show. For these I allow WCW, WWE, and ECW to all host so I can have crazy matches between the different companies. Turn off the automatic rivalries and as long you have the people you want in each division, the rivalries you want will still happen. You also need to make sure you go into the universe settings, go to superstars and manually go through each wrestler’s options and set “appear on minor shows” to on. Otherwise your biggest names and a bunch of other wrestlers will only appear on PPVs. Once you’ve set it all up you should simulate the first year of shows just to get things up and running.

[@Rob_TheRiv]

The weird matches like that one with DIY vs Channing and LA Knight usually start because of a rival action. Matches can get rivalry actions even without automatic rivalries, and they are pretty fun in 1v1 matches. For example in a Tag Team 1 vs Tag Team 2 match, a rivalry action may be something like post match callout. This will turn the match into Tag Team 1 vs random made up team from your roster, so that Tag Team 2 will enter the ring after the match and do a post match callout. I usually fix these ones by editing the match and just deleting the rival action taking place.

[@CEJRAID]

“Using custom superstars or arenas will cause crashes.”The whole point is to be able to do what you want. Why haven’t they improved on this aspect in 8 games?!

[@AssembleShow]

reasons! lol

[@diegoprodriguez]

I remember back in the old games, all the singles stars were in both divisions, and if you were low in the Main Event, for the Midcard belt, you’d higher

[@THAT-WRESTLING-GUY]

I always try to do this but never have the patience

[@joer3720]

I find it easier to change some of this stuff as I go along rather than sitting and editing for hours at a time.

[@Facesofevildead420]

What sucks is, after going thru all this tedious work the game could still do some hinky stuff n then you got hurricane teaming with undertaker from 97 because reasons 😂

[@FosterFreeze]

I got through it and your not wrong. My patients was running thin then once I finished I turned it off without starting my first show.

[@RaptorsTroll2]

​@@Facesofevildead420 because you're adding in taker from 97 in 2024... 😂😂😂

[@Facesofevildead420]

@@RaptorsTroll2 You missed the point I made, but ok.

[@3vil6in]

They need to update the MYGM because its hard to keep track of peoples reigns and who was champion previously. I'm on season 4 going into season 5 and its hard sometimes because I wanna know wrestlers previous history so I don't keep coming up with the same PPV's and match ups. I think they should have a mode where we can merge all the mechanics that universe has and just bring them over to MYGM for example : Wrestlers Journal or Wrestlers History which shows how many times they were champion and etc etc. For me I have had LA Knight as champion for like two seasons and sometimes I wanna know how long he was reigning for so I can plan on a day to drop the belt. It would also help so I can plan on new champions to reign even longer. Another thing they need to incorporate is age and retirement in the game because WWE, they could easily set it up kinda like in NBA2k where they have all the stats including age and that way it makes it more strategic cause you wanna use the wresters at their peak age and maybe as they age their overalls go down or whatever happens in their season that helps them.

[@TeamXtreme86]

Your Universe Mode is like 99% the same as mine! I like to keep it as realistic as possible 👌🏼 But damn we need Jade Cargill, Nia Jax, Carlito, Kairi Sane, Lyra Valkyria & Dragon Lee in the game like NOW!! Not to mention Naomi & Andrade too 😭

[@khaledmana3944]

Downloaded frome cc

[@LetsPlayerAshe]

And Dakota Kai too

[@CalebRoss96]

I set up my universe with a 2006 feel. I use the ruthless aggression raw and smackdown arenas, and turned nxt into ecw. Didn't bother to switch up the rosters, they're fine how they are. Its weird that the creed brothers, r-truth, and robert roode are assigned to smackdown but whatever.

[@tommysmith7462]

My universe with the MyGM brand competition, Budget, rating system and show outcomes would be the dream game mode. What i hate about my gm isn't present in universe and what is missing in universe is in MyGM, so... do the logical thing and combine!

[@ltdanslostlegs]

I never messed with match table all these years…now I might

[@VarianNash]

I actually started doing this after the draft. I think I'm just waiting on the DLC to drop so that I can have Kairi, Punk, Jade, etc so I can get them in place.

[@SIEGTHEGOATFRFR]

Jade ain't coming out for a while

[@VarianNash]

@@SIEGTHEGOATFRFR I'll at least start after the first DLC. That way when she does, it'll work itself out.

[@pittoopokemon]

@@VarianNash it’s here!

[@michaelsuezo]

Its rough how they took out a few quality of life things that i like. Like going straight to the next match after finishing one. Or removing random attires. What do you guys like about it this yr though?

[@MorrisseyMuse]

I hate how you can't edit brand rosters outside of Universe mode anymore, means you have to go through this whole process every time you start a new Universe

[@javidavi99x]

Preach

[@djoctavio7]

You can in settings somewhere. Search it up maybe. And I believe there is a option to use those rosters in Universe mode.

[@youngreece864]

You can set the Play Now roster as your universe so you just have to edit your main menu rosters and teams first

[@orangauvain1121]

As far as I’m aware it’s a broken feature n dosnt work as intended

[@lordbum8918]

When i got 2k23 late last your video on universe mode helped me so much! This was a great refresher for 2k24 and the draft. Dont forget to back up the save!

[@AssembleShow]

I’m gas it helped ! Let me know if you want any other tutorial vids

[@jogamingchannel86]

i dont do NXT i only do raw and smackdown. i got raw and smackdown there own PPV for rating wars and the only time they will have the same ppv is the big events ppvs

[@treygaming2233]

I hate the I can’t put Rey as a manager for the LWO in universe mode , I hate the fact when I change the teams to make it more current like on TV they switched the teams so like I have Xavier and Kofi vs creeds one person switch to the other team automatically, I hate that is still say champion on all of the match cards and ain’t no title being defended , I also hate sometimes when I sign a superstar a manager, they don’t be there on the card or come out with them to the ring . There is probably more but that’s just a little bit.

[@youngreece864]

These are probably issues being caused by the rivalry system. I know for a fact that managers won’t come out in any matches involving rival actions unless they are a part of the action. As far as the teams glitching it still happens to me sometimes but rarely, could be a division or rival issue as well

[@taecapone8299]

This is random but in my opinion it would better if they do the submission system like how they have the current ladder match system , just show 2 of those on the screen one for each player and make it actually hard to get the ball between the gap, that way you would have more time to even crawl to the ropes as well , also idk if you guys noticed but I think this started in 2k22 or 23 where pulling down the title or briefcase in a ladder match is actually easier and quicker now , there used to be way more bars for the circle to fill now it’s only like 5

[@Zebramuncher]

They should make a universe mode feature but it opens with a draft in the form of my gm just without a budget Then just go into a full control universe or superstar control based on your choice

[@bricklover2258]

I am coming upon the survivor series in my universe mode, and my plan is to have punk make his return either at that event or the raw after either way he is going to go right after Drew and the world title on raw and then I plan to actually set up my universe close to how it is on TV atleast having the correct people on each show between raw and smackdown and maybe nxt.

[@ProfessorDMario]

Every week on both of my shows there's a title defense, despite me having zero settings active to allow it. I can't simulate from ppv to ppv anymore because my champions would constantly change. Tired of all these bugs.

[@iAmRikoRedz]

Same. I literally uninstalled for like 2 weeks because of it.

[@kevinconway2965]

I've recently just gotten back into wrestling, and I bought WWE 2K24 on a whim. I love the universe sandbox aspect of games, and I particularly loved EWR (if you know, you know) back in the day. I'm enjoying Universe mode to a point, but I'm struggling to find what other players find enjoyment in regarding metrics? How do you know if a feud is going well? How do you know if a superstar is getting more over? Or is this stuff related to GM Mode, which is way too random and has a very immature feel to it. I'm probably hoping for a game that doesn't exist. I would love a true WWE version of Football Manager, where you created genuine storylines, rivalries and build top stars.

[@mor4665]

i think that’s general manager mode, but i’m the same, i only play the sandbox modes, especially on fifa

[@jmiyagi12345]

Is there a way to carry over getting rid of allies/etc into the main game?

[@shawnleonidas]

Does moving the superstars to no division actually stops them from appearing in matches?

[@Spec4040]

[@Serv_C]

Be what's "Manage Superstar Frequency" ?? How does it work??

[@MikeHenry3280]

is it even worth setting up rivals or is it to repetitive and lame, lately ive been just setting up qualifying matches and number one contender matches, sometimes even small tournaments, no rivals no storylines, just matches, and then when there is no matches on a card that has anything to do with title shots, or title runs, ill just fill in the card with matches i would like to see, see people work up the rankings, so when i start over after a PLE to choose who i want to be in qualifying matches, tournaments etc, i can see who climbed the ladder,

[@j.p.walkman9671]

The startup is a pain in the butt, even more annoying when it glitches. Sometimes i'll find things missing, when I scroll through all the characters. I put Rhea on my Nitro show now. I want her feuding with Trish, Lita and Chyna. I can do that for a while. I also want to kind of slowly break off from doing a similar WWE show to doing my own Universe. I used to do my own universe, but i'm really enjoying WWE as of late and I can't help but keep it the same.

[@diegoamato9946]

Hi, after the patch when your opponent is on the table you can only do elbow drop or body splash as diving attack, do you know if this bug will be fixed?
