WWE 2K24 How to make Universe Mode FUN!!! (Ultimate Guide)

Just some things I learned trying to make universe mode fun in WWE 2K24

You play just like me. lol this game is so frustrating, it has all the tools it needs to be a great game but it’s like the tools are made of plastic.

You can do like the Soccer leagues with promotions and relegations. Using Raw and Smackdown as major shows or only one of them and use Nxt as the b or c show and by the end of the season promote the best of NXT to the major shows, while relegating the worst ranked in each division to NXT, acts similar to a Draft.

Run ins and MIB cash ins, only work in Normal matches, not custom ones. 😅 I noticed that aswell. Or if I do manually rivalries, it turns the custom matches into Normal matches.

[@Pduarte79]

Since auto-booking is based on the divisions and match tables, I normally leave the title defenses for the main PLEs, while minor rivalries and storylines for the minor PLEs. And mainly "in division" rivalries and matches, similar to how's done in UFC minor PPVs, where they don't have title matches, but fighters going up and down rankings, building up for the major PPVs.

Can you give me like a match card for weekly shows based on this booking style? Like give me an easier explanation

[@Pduarte79]

@@M._mkid Easier explaination, when you don't do manual booking of the weekly shows. The auto-booking of the main shows, depends how you set up the match table, number of matches per show and how you set up your divisions. And also it matters, if you have auto-rivalries "on" or you set up, them manually, that also affects the weekly booking.

@@Pduarte79 when it comes to the rankings like UFC like what booking style you mean by that? Like Rank vs Rank?

[@Pduarte79]

@@M._mkid Do you follow UFC or One Championship? They normally have minor PPVs, normally have ranked matches, where fighters go up or down the ranks, gain or lose momentum. Then major PPVs, the numbered ones, where occur title matches for the different weight classes. In WWE 2k games, don't know which one are you playing, it has the Cruiserweight and Light HeavyWeight belts, basically like the Junior division of NJPW. When you don't book manually or do the rivalries thing, the auto-booking generally is based on how you set up, the division and the rankings within the division. When you don't have a division or divisions set up, then the auto-booking is a mess. If you don't want to manually book your PPV. You have to keep in mind, if it's a minor or major PPV, if you want titles matches to occur or not. And since I don't know, if you do 1 or more shows, if they are like NJPW/Stardom, men only and women only or mixed. You can do, what I do, 1 minor PPV for my men's show, 1 minor PPV for my women's show, then a major mixed PPV, where the titles of both shows are defended. Since Universe mode starts from May(start season) to April(season finale), it will be basically 12 PPVs at total, with 4 minor PPVs for one show, 4 minor PPVs for the other show and 4 major PPVs for both shows. This is basically my set-up. And like UFC win/loses matter, you either keep track of those. Or after each PPV is finished, if you check the division rankings of each of your major shows, you see the superstars going up or down, depending if they win or lost. Meaning it becomes a more sports/professional Pro-Wrestling Universe mode than a more story-centric like WWE, where wins and loses don't matter and the titles function as mere macguffins, plot devices, don't have any real weight as the UFC or IWGP titles.

@@Pduarte79 ok thank you. I like doing story centric style but since 2k won't bring back promos In universe mode I will look into this
