WWE 12 is pretty fun. Gameplay feels smoother. Been playing Universe mode all day.
Yoshi Tatsu got a career-ending injury in his first week. Poor guy.
Can you give more details on what makes universe mode better than last year's?
Yeah, this is what I really want to know as well. The concept of it last year was pretty great but it fell flat. Constant run ins before matches and some really wonky booking, like the same guy being booked for three matches in a ppv started to irk me.
If it's been upgraded significantly I may go snag a copy over the long weekend.
The real problem I had was a lack of new people entering the main events and such. It never rotated around. Once the top 5 were set, it was set.

From a UGO review:
The refined WWE Universe mode is a much better way to spend your time in WWE '12 because it's not guided and allows you to experience the full breadth of the game. You'll have complete control of the roster, events and match-ups on a week to week basis; you're essentially a GM with God-like powers, which makes the mode much more fun than Road to Wrestlemania because you actually have complete control. You're not just going along for the ride, you're deciding nearly everything about the WWE. Want to take your CAW and interfere in a CM Punk-Triple HHH title match to set up a feud with CM Punk? Go out and mess him up. Feel like making enemies with both him and HHH? Deliver punishment around the ring and start a war.
Plus there's this stuff:
One of the newest features in the mode is an actual Draft Show. It is here where you draft Superstars of the WWE to either Raw or Smackdown shows. Another new addition is that you can now interrupt A.I. only matches. If you don't like what the A.I. is doing, run in there and wreck havoc yourself!
Now, you can even create your own show in the Universe mode. This may coincide with the all-new "Create-an-Arena" mode. Lastly, you can now choose who you want to face at Wrestlemania if you are the Royal Rumble winner.

Today's "Worst Reason to be Upset at a Wrestler Backstage" Award!
There seems to be some heat from WWE officials on Zack Ryder for him changing his hair color to blonde according to PWInsider.com. Officials are upset with Ryder dying his hair before asking because most of his merchandise shows him with dark hair.

Regarding WWE's recent Twitter craze, a top-level employee has said that WWE realizes they are going overboard with it but it's being done to build awareness for the product. The feeling is that ratings have dropped because people aren't aware of WWE's product.
WWE United States Champion Dolph Ziggler's new theme song is "Here To Show The World" by Downstait.
The Wade Barrett vs. Kofi Kingston and CM Punk vs. Dolph Ziggler matches at Monday's RAW Supershow both received extra time beyond what was originally planned. A worker in the WWE production truck argued that they are trying to get Barrett over so he should get more time in the ring.
John Morrison is finishing up with WWE and his final date will be next Monday's RAW Supershow. Word going around is that TNA is very interested in bringing in Morrison and Melina as a couple. TNA is looking at making Morrison the star attraction of the X Division. No word yet if Morrison has spoke with TNA yet, directly or in-directly. It's said that Morrison wants out of WWE and the company wants him gone also.
There were reports going around yesterday that a top official at Cowboys Stadium in Dallas, Texas confirmed that WWE was close to signing a deal for the stadium to host WrestleMania 29. When reached for comment, a WWE spokeswoman confirmed that WWE had interest in Dallas hosting a "future" WrestleMania but said the announcement for WrestleMania 29 wouldn't be made until early 2012. Cowboys spokesman Brett Daniels told DallasNews.com last night that Cowboys Stadium does want to host a future WrestleMania but "2013 and 2014 look like bad years for wrestling." Cowboys Stadium will be hosting the NCAA basketball South Regionals in 2013 and the Final Four in 2014, both of which are around the same time as WrestleMania.

You have full control over when and where and who when it comes to title matches, can change the details of shows(like the name, arena, and what titles it uses), theres a draft now, some added scenes, the interface is smoother. It's not hugely different, but there's a bunch of small improvements that just make me enjoy it more.
So on one of my first shows, Tyson Kidd put Yoshi tatsu out with a career ending injury.
Later on, Tyson turned face, helping out Bryan against Barrett.
I book Barrett vs. Tyson. Play as Tyson but I lose. Post-match, Barrett grabs a chair to beat him down. Suddenly, Yoshi runs in, back from injury! he chases off Barrett...and then turns heel and beats up Kidd with the chair!
Thought it was awesome that the game remembered continuity like that.

Haha. That is awesome. Stop making me anxious to get this on Friday!
If anybody is still interested in how WWE 12 is here's a video I made of me playing it and giving my impressions. I of course play as Zack Ryder, bro.
Are you fast forwarding through the replays at the end or is that totally fucked?
I was skipping them. After a while of playing Sheamus in the Road to Wrestlemania mode I started getting freaked out by just how white he is in the game, not that he isn't that white in real life, but it just seems so unrealistic for somebody to be that pale.

Universe mode booked me into a 15 minute iron match with David Otunga. I guess I should have looked at the options for each match to change them more because I didn't see it, but it could be one of the small options at the bottom of the screen I couldn't read. The game made Jack Swagger come out and attack me before the Wrestlemania match with John Cena. I only had to quit once and then restart to win the match and end Cena's career with a vertabreaker. Also I got an achievement for it. There is an achievement for injuring somebody in the game it's one of the secret ones.

In Ryder's case, that actually makes a lot of sense, given that his merch-- even his Internet title-- focus on his hair.

...and so the answer is to make the people already watching their product more aware of... Twitter?
Like Mega Man Legends? Then check out my story, Legends of the Halcyon Era - An Adventure in the World of Mega Man Legends on TMMN and AO3!
The latest PPV estimates for the October PPVs, which were Hell in a Cell and Vengeance, are 322,000 total buys. Both shows drew under 200,000 buys, with HIAC around 180K and Vengeance (which was Bragging Rights last year) doing about 142K. They are both down from the respective shows from last year. ... Thanks to Steven Fernandes for his help with this item.
Not surprising given most were saving up for Survivor Series. Next year they really need to drop another PPV and go back to one a month.
I'M NOT FINISHED WITH YOU!!!

In the hopes that they will join the conversation and get topics trending and people will stumble onto those trending topics and go look for WWE.
For a moment I considered what would have happened if Danzig was still in the Misfits when they were in WCW. Then I remembered that he can't take a punch, so much for that.
Yeah, that was a late post but for some reason the forums thought page 5 was current so I ran with it.

Also, newsss
Awesome Truth was planned to win the tag team titles after Survivor Series, until both Truth and Bourne failed drug testing. Now, obviously, plans have changed, and Miz is headed back to the WWE title picture as early as Royal Rumble.
WWE officials are said to be considering a Cody vs Goldust feud, which Dustin has been campaigning for.
Vince has given word that he would like to see Ted Dibiase get a push as a reward for his "Dibiase Posse" tailgating parties with fans. The idea is to reward guys who come up with original ideas to get over (like Ryder and in this case Ted).
Undertaker has had 2 surgeries since WM27 but is said to be recovered and will be ready for 28 in Miami. WWE officials have already decided on his opponent, and in fact have the top three matches for the event decided upon (Rock vs Cena being #1, with Taker's match as #2). Seems to me they might be planning a WHC match for him.
Vince wants the new network to be the most interactive network on TV, with watching while giving feedback from their computers, phones, and other devices. The idea is to make it a constant Cyber Sunday.
There's now a running joke backstage that you can have good matches, do good interviews, and get over with the fans, but if you want to get pushed you have to do something entertaining on Twitter and hope Vince hears about it. On a related note, Vince wants some of the superstars twitter handles to change, specifically Dolph Ziggler's because it uses the word Heel, and he doesn't like that.
Some of the WWE Superstars who attended Mick Foley’s comedy show in New York City after Survivor Series were Zack Ryder, John Morrison and Dolph Ziggler.
Regarding Foley’s status within WWE, producer Brian Gewirtz is a big supporter and feels Foley is creative and a good performer. It’s said that Triple H always buries Foley, thinking he doesn’t look tough enough and people can’t take him serious in the ring.

That is bad ass as all hell. Sounds much much better than last year. I would love to have it but I don't have the money spend on it.
That old Punk match looks neat. At some point I'm going to get a couple DVDs from a local indy show from 02 that I went to where Punk was the main event in one of them, so that should be neat to see.
If anyone is playing WWE 12 on PS3 my psn is Sweaty2501. I'm been developing a new talent I discovered lately named Screaming Eagle. He's still pretty green.

Wow that doesn't answer my question at all!
Plus you can interrupt matches held by the computer
Plus you can create your own show, arena, and have all sorts of customizability options available at your disposal
I fail to see how that stuff wouldn't appear to be good!
