With WWE 2K19 on the horizon, 2K Games has started pulling back the curtain on a lot of different elements, including the popular Universe Mode. While this has been a chore for non-hardcore players in the past, it now sounds like it will be a lot more accessible with a greater focus on making it fun. A lot of glitches and annoying issues have also been worked out which is definitely a massive relief.
Perhaps the biggest addition is the fact that we'll now be able to choose who wins and loses matches rather than being forced to play them or skipping through to generate a random result. Check out the full list of updates courtesy of 2K Games and stay tuned for additional updates in the coming days.
UNIVERSE MODE
You may have seen videos on YouTube of some of the changes coming to Universe Mode. We wanted to round this information up with additional details so that Universe fans can have everything in one place:
-The championship system has been expanded to allow six championships per show – compared to the previous limit of four.
-New customization options make it possible to assign multiple women’s titles or tag titles to a show.
-Money in the Bank briefcases, now fully customizable, will take a championship slot.
-New Championship Divisions can determine which titles specific groups of Superstars will pursue. Championships can also now be vacated.
-The new Superstar Save Profiles system lets players save changes to Superstar settings across MyWWE and multiple Universe saves at the same time. This includes Attributes, Skills, Abilities, Payback, Entrances, and Move Sets.
-Custom Match Tables let users customize the types of matches used on each show and Pay-Per-View. Using sliders, you can determine the frequency for various match types in storylines and rivalries.
-Managers are now available to assign to Superstars. In fact, you can assign up to three of them for any given Superstar. Managers will appear alongside the Superstars in One on One and normal Tag Team matches.
-Promos now incorporate recent events. A former champion will talk about losing the title and ask for a rematch. Rivals will talk about wins and losses, interferences or blindside attacks that happened last week. Many new promo animations have been added. While every Superstar comes with a pre-set “Promo Attitude,” you can customize any of them so that they behave the way you want.
-Last but not least, you can go through matchups in your Universe and decide the winners and losers of the matches without having to play the match yourself or rely on a random result!
