Current game:
WWE '12


WWE 12 is the latest entry in THQ's WWE series. It's basically an expansion of 2011's Smackdown vs Raw game, with a rehauled (Crappier) Road to Wrestlemania and somehow even worse online. On the other hand, Universe is tons better. In Universe mode, you can fully customize it to your liking. You want to replace Monday Night Raw and Friday Night Smackdown with WCW Monday Nitro and ECW? Go on ahead. Want to swap Wrestlemania out for Starrcade? You can do that too! The game features quite a new features, most prominently the new Create-An-Arena mode, where you can 100% fully edit the Ring, Ring area, Barricades, even the scrolling Arena LED! the only things that can't be edited are crowd size, arena lighting, and the stage area.



Universe mode is the Calendar year mode where you play shows in their entirety, with randomly generating storylines and feuds playing out as you play through it. In Universe mode you have your Monday, Thursday, and Friday shows. Monday and Thursday can be completely 100% absolutely customized, from the show's name, logo, arena, roster, championships, even the graphic cards. The only thing that can't be edited is the amount of titles on your brand (You must have 1 World title, 1 Midcard title, 1 set of tag titles, and 1 women's championship.) The game however features *TWENTY THREE* Championships to assign in these slots. The midcard and world titles can be swapped out intermittently. So if you want the Million Dollar Championship to headline your Urban Wrestling Federation show, then by all means! The championships in the game are:

  • WWF Attitude Era Championship
  • WWE Undisputed Championship
  • WWE Spinner Championship
  • WWE WCW Spraypainted Spinner Championship
  • Big Gold World Heavyweight Championship
  • WCW Spraypainted Big Gold World Heavyweight Championship
  • Classic WCW World Championship
  • Platinum ECW Championship
  • Classic ECW World Championship
  • Champion of Champions Championship (Fictional title from SvR2010)
  • Intercontinental Championship
  • Classic 90's Intercontinental Championship
  • WWE European Championship
  • Light Heavyweight Championship
  • Hardcore Championship
  • WWE United States Championship
  • WWE Cruiserweight Championship
  • Million Dollar Championship
  • WWE Smackdown Tag Team Championship
  • WWE Raw Tag Team Championship
  • WWE Undisputed Tag Team Championship
  • Women's Championship
  • Diva's Championship

One thing of note, even if you assign the Monday and Friday shows their own sets of Tag Titles, they will always be open-branded. PPVs can only be edited in their Arena, Logo, and Title graphics , along with the Thursday show.

How is Road to Wrestlemania mode?
Really really bad. It is based around mostly environmental Quick Time Events, and the writing/booking is really bad and outright offensive, (especially during the HHH storyline). Your enjoyment of the game will be much higher if you avoid this mode.


How is Community Creations?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Where the hell is grodypack?
Release date for Pack 1 is set to be released before Spring, for WWE '12 on the Xbox 360 console.

What the hell is grodypack?
It is a collection of enhanced CAWs and Titantrons for WWE 12 on the Xbox 360, to be released in multiple packs.

But doesn't this require Community Creations to be working properly so everyone can enjoy it?


I've been out of the loop, what are good games?
Well generally, the accepted best games are:
MMA
UFC Undisputed 2009 is probably the best MMA game out there, THQ sadly botched the sequel. EA's MMA isn't the greatest either.
Fire Pro Wrestling Returns surprisingly does MMA great on the Fire Pro engine, and with the customization that it offers, you'd be hardpressed to put it down.

Pro Wrestling
WWE '12. Just get it. Yes, Online is a broken heap, and Road to Wrestlemania is offensively bad, but Universe mode is the bread and butter here.
WWF No Mercy for the N64, a classic game that is still so popular it has a community of modders to keep the game updated with the rosters of today.(Shut up about the music)
WWE SmackDown! Here Comes The Pain! is another great game just because of the sheer amount of things you can do, even if CAW is lacking in that title.
Fire Pro Wrestling Returns is another excellent title, a 2-D game which relies on an extraordinary roster that you can edit and add to, with an extremely large moveset and the best AI in any wrestling game today. If you have an AR Max, this game is endlessly editable, and the best part? The game is only $15. It's not for everyone though, as some people get turned off by the 2D graphics.

If you have both the PS3 and 360, the version of WWE 12 you want is the 360 one. It is incredibly easy to exploit, from the ease of assigning custom music for your roster from your PC to other incredible ways to enhance the game, it's easily the most customizable title yet in the series, and you don't even need to mod/hack your system or game! It is all 100% possible with *JUST* the retail game and console.

Some of the things possible only on the 360 version:

I'm thinking about adding literally every 360 gamertag on that list because I have like fifteen friends on my friendlist and it makes me feel lonely.

I just got finished breaking FF13-2, now I'm wondering if I should keep breaking it, play another runthrough, or move on to another game for now.

But if you want to add me, I'm Ice To Meet You. We could play WWE 12 if the servers are not on fire. I've also been playing NFL Blitz a lot and will probably pick up the new MLB when it comes out.

I'm DreadPirateInigo on PSN, and if it wasn't for the Show games I'd be really annoyed with my choice of PS3 over 360. The exploits for WWE '12 look amazing.

I just had Justin Gabriel turn on Heath Slater in my Universe mode, so the WWE tag titles are held by a team that doesn't exist anymore. I was going to put them on a couple of SmackDown guys, but if all the tag belts are cross-branded I might just unify them with the World tag titles.

I'm really appreciative of the fact that the grodypack is being put together as I'm too lazy to put together custom trons/pictures myself. I'm not really sure what keywords to use to find specific CAWs that have been enhanced this way, so I will gladly suffer through some Community Creations server issues to download things from the pack.

Welp,

It's gotten to that same old time in WWE-Game's life cycle. I have the reversals pretty much down, and I tut every time the computer reverses. I'm tempted to turn the difficulty down so I can get a string of moves in, and 'let' the AI do the same, and actually I will try and work for it toward the end of the match.

Just sucks that this always happens each year....

How am I supposed to actually play the WWE Universe mode? Am I supposed to pick one guy and wait for him to show up on a show to play his match, or am I supposed to pick someone for every match? I'm trying to get the most out of the mode, it really seems to be what I'm looking for, it just seems difficult to get myself started with it.

I usually have about 5-10 pet projects in the game, guys that I'll play their matches and often book them in new matches if they don't have one.

There's no wrong way to play though. You can just play through every match if you want.

A man named "Sex Pervert" Rhod Johnson. He wears pink denim cut offs that are way too short, and generally just makes you feel uncomfortable. Another dude named The Amazing Rager, who's basically just a thrasher/metalhead who's finisher is a really brutal looking shoulderblock because he learned how to fight in circle pits and mosh pits.

Robot Monster, who looks like this. He's got a pallet-swap who's tiny with Sin Cara's moveset named Sprocket as a tag partner. They come out to the national anthem with that jeep entrance.

The other dudes are my friends over-the-top representations of themselves, a guy named Pekk Haardbody whos just a giant dude from South Africa who randomly has cruiserweight moves thrown in, and a modern interpretation of my Dungeons and Dragons character named Werner Ernstrom who is just supposed to be a dick. In D&D he's a thief who I'd bluff other party members to keep most of the reward.

Ridiculous CAWs are the best part of wrestling games.
