panix04 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 The new one looks pretty good. Quiet enjoyed last years version. Should I go ps3 or Xbox? What was it created on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagilki Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 The past few years between Xbox and PS3 has solely been the number of layers for CAWS, ease of importing custom music and the fact that on 360 you have to have a gold live membership. This year, the PS3 has the same number of layers (I believe), so if you have gold, and can import your custom music fairly simply with the 360, then really your only question is which system do you prefer... ... Well that, and which system do more of your friends play the game on. I almost got it for the PS3, but I make a load of CAWS for an e-fed I'm in, and capture a fair bit of video for said E-Fed. Since about 9 out of 10 people in said fed play the game on 360, I had to go that way again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanieshaman Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I have one simple question about this game..i haven't played a wrestling game in YEARS.. not since wrestlemania for gamecube. What is the play style of this game? is it arcadey like smackdown games (at least they were), or is it more "tactical" like no mercy was, and I think WM was. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtplaystew Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Buy yourself WWE 12 and save the money lol. It's the same game only there's (rather bad) renders of Attitude Era wrestlers in there. Honestly, play last year's game and DL the CAW versions of these guys. Most of them are better believe it or not. This game is a steaming pile. I really regret putting the money down when I had Assassins Creed already and Halo 4 on the way. I bought it because, well, I buy it every year. But I've never regretted it more than I did this year. Post edit----- OK well a full 24 hours later I gave it more of a a chance. Turns out when you're not sleepless after working 48 hours in three days you have a lot more fun with the game :-) LOL I'm sorry but I was REALLY tired when I finally popped this thing on and I was pretty grumpy. It's pretty damn cool. The attitude era mode is friggin awesome if you lived through that time frame. I'm still disappointed because some of the character models are terrible. And I thought Ryback was in the game... But it is fun so far. I still think you might want to hold off for awhile because it'll be on sale for $40 around xmas time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtplaystew Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Anyone playing this on XBOX 360 if you would kindly check out my Davey Richards CAW. I'm not so great with the faces but I think his attires are pretty close. Gamertag: Big T is Buff Keyword: ROH Or just search his name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tha Black Phenom Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 There's quite a few similarities between '12 and '13 and to be honest it's not the first time that's been stated.. but this time, they had a good reason.. the Attitude era. I'm just glad to be going through a seamless Community Creations page, and being able to save your match-ups in Universe mode makes it all worthwhile. And edit the rankings at will. Basically they answered most of the quirks about it last year.. yet to come across branching storylines either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaysin Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I haven't picked this up yet, but something that always bugs me about the Universe mode in previous games was 20 years into it, Triple H, Randy Orton, John Cena, and the Undertaker are still WWE and WHC champions. No body moved up the card unless you wrestled as the people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teh_Showtime Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 In terms of downloading CAWs I would say Xbox and '13 is a really good game even before getting into the game modes, the gameplay is vastly improved and great. My only gripe are the default movesets but I've already had some classic matches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxfan93 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Xbox 360 CAWs can be hacked. Titantrons, pictures, attires, faces, etc. There's your answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanieshaman Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Can anyone answer my play style question? I can't find the answer anywhere. Does it play like the old smackdown games (arcade) or "tactical" like no mercy/wrestlemania for gamecube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it play like the old smackdown games (arcade) or "tactical" like no mercy/wrestlemania for gamecube. it can be both. I think it has a good (but not perfect balance) on the quick match setting it is much more arcade ish and damage and finishers happen much faster on the epic setting, the matches are much longer and things take longer to develop so there is more strategy. Especially if you are getting beat down for a long period of time it takes a while to get your momentum back. Normal setting is somewhere in between but I usually just play either quick or epic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Final Countdown Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Anyone playing this on XBOX 360 if you would kindly check out my Davey Richards CAW.

Gamertag: Big T is Buff Keyword: ROH Or just search his name My friend and I are planning on eventually working an ROH "brand" into our Universe mode, and are gradually going to accumulate the roster to do so. Davey is definitely a guy we'll be looking for, so I'll be sure to check him out the next time we play and let you know what I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No body moved up the card unless you wrestled as the people. I think this year fixed that. Like I said you can edit the rankings at will, so years into the mode, you can easily put HHH or Cena out of title contention in a whim. If you decide to bring back Taker part-time, he won't automatically be the no.1 contender to any World title & stuck there before you make him lose 15+ times in a row, you can just shove him down and focus on your top stars.

Fleisch Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Bought this on 360 and wasn't sure what I thought about this game to be honest at first, mainly due to once again feeling that reversals were flawed and favoured the AI (especially on Legendary where I couldn't even hit a move without it being reversed). After playing it for a few days though on the next difficulty down, I found it isn't all that bad (reversals aside). I think it is pretty good, especially playing through the Attitude mode - enjoying that right now. I didn't like last years Universe mode so haven't played this years version yet, although I like the fact you can set up your own "brand" this year without having to edit over Raw/Smackdown so may eventually give it a whirl when some decent Indy CAWS come up.

Psycho Sam Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Heh. In my WWE 13 universe, I added a Tuesday brand which has all of the attitude era members that I've unlocked (haven't played through the off-script storyline yet), as well as John Lauranitis. Just started the second show...as Cactus Jack vs. Mark Henry. Starting Champions: WWF Chamion (88-98): Ken Shamrock WWF Classic Intercontinental Champion: British Bulldog World Tag Team Champion (85-98): Road Warriors PPVS (Always on the 2nd of each show): April: Badd Blood May: Judgement Day June: Over The Edge July: King Of The Ring August: Summerslam (Arena '98) September: One Night Only October: Unforgiven November: Survivor Series (98) December: Alternates between Rock Bottom and Breakdown Janurary: Royal Rumble (99) February: St. Valentine's Day Massacre March: Wrestlemania XV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Roguey Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I love how smoothly the community creations runs now. I'm just about to do a MITB match with all created people. It's Noam Dar vs PAC vs BXB Hulk vs Austin Aires vs Kassius Ohno vs El Generico, all on quick match setting. It's going to be utter madness but I'm the most excited I've ever been to do a match. All the CAWs look flawless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i effin rule Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 If anyone cares, I've done a rather poor job of my efed's logo and an arena and uploaded them (Xbox). Just search for LPW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I've been doing for the past few years is played on Legendary, but lowered the AI reversal sliders. It makes the AI more difficult to beat while still allowing me to get in the occasional move.

It makes the AI more difficult to beat while still allowing me to get in the occasional move. Yes slider tweaking has alluded many with this series I'm afraid. The GameFAQs boards are always aflame on release day. "Hard is too easy, Legendary they just reverse everything!!!" I like to occasionally lose so I keep it pretty difficult, but like you I turn down the reversals on Legendary just a tad so that I still get moves in. Keeps it challenging but it's not an exercise in patience and sanity either. Although I find this game features a bit of the old "fire pro" mentality in the sense that the CPU has more difficulty reversing harder moves as they take more damage.

jhd1 Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Despite not having had a wrestling game since...a long time ago (it was possibly on the gamecube), I decided to try out WWE 13 and so far I'm enjoying it more than I thought I would. I was never a fan of the way the Smackdown series seemed to be going, but this game reminds me a lot of those older games (especially the damaged head animation!). I'm currently working through the attitude era mode which is a good idea as a feature, although I've never been a huge fan of having to unlock everything in this type of game (I'd rather be able to jump in with anyone). For those more experienced with the recent games - I get the basic idea behind Universe mode, but how exactly am I meant to play it out? Should I play most matches or only a few? If I simulate matches will I still get the 'storylines' that I would get if I had played the match myself? Also, what is the point of using the storyline creation? I don't have a gold membership so I can't use the community creations (which seems an odd decision to me), so I can't put an existing one to the test. I followed the tutorial but it wasn't all that clear what exactly would happen. If I set a storyline to start the week after Extreme Rules with some sort of promo, will that promo always occur on that show? Or is it random?

Universe has storylines even if you dont play the matches. I personally just chose a few people and play their matches so it would sort of be like an old season mode. Also sometimes I just play the matches that appeal to me I've never played every match but you can sim and see them booking feuds. On the story creation it is primarily for online (imo) because I dont think I'd get much out of playing a story I've already set up. Though you can edit every week and what segments appear if I'm not mistaken I haven't used that feature since 2010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
