See, Universe Mode is realistic.

I just want big improvements to offline Universe mode since that's all I play WWE games for. Since i do write ups i need to have more things I can do to keep things fresh. I would have not used the rivalry function last year if not for the lack of cutscenes. Allow me to make matches without getting rid of the rivalry so i don't have Wyatt and Bryan facs each other in the same match every week. Just bring some things from GM mode into Universe and I'll be good.

Reed is comin' atcha!

Unlocking Universe modes potential lies in actually having a universe that seems more alive. Online would be a cool addition but right now the mode offers little incentive to play. Its all pretty bland and predictable as is. I would rather see resources used to make it worth playing for an extended time before adding an online mode.

I agree this does happen more than it should, but generally just with the mid card. You aren't going to see Ambrose and Rollins go head to head in singles matches 4 straight weeks, leading into a title match at the PPV.

You may see them involved in tag matches against one another, interfering in each other's matches, or jumping one another back stage, but never multiple consecutive weeks of wrestling, and pinning each other, which is what basically HAS to happen in the in-game rivalries. You change a match, rivalry wiped. I've even had the rivalry wiped for intentionally getting DQ'd. By the time the PPV rolls around, I'm so tired of the matchups that the enjoyment is basically gone.

Flawed system, needs lots of work and a heapin' helpin' of unpredictability.

I'd like some online stability before they worry about unlocking their full potential with more online modes.

I shouldn't have to wait 20, 30 minutes for an online tag-team match.

I'd be happy with a GM-type mode though, however I've said that for years and doubt we'll get it this year.
