WWE '13 |OT| Austin 3:16 says, I just whooped your *bleeped for PG*

Just downloaded Kurt Angle and did a BADASS 30 minute ultimate submission match between him and Bret. Amazing crowd heat and a ton of reversals. Bret won 1-0 after locking in the Sharpshooter in the final minute.

so the IA in this game is much better than the past games?
because usually even at maximum difficulty the CPU isn't a threat at all
 
Random OCD question... I just noticed my game disc on the inside ring where the 360 holographic logos are it looks like someone marked the disc with a sharpie marker... Anyone else have this?

The new DLC pack is up on XBL -- I believe it's ~300 MB. It'll be up in a few hours on PSN.

You get a bunch of championship belts, Tensai, Ryback, Drew McIntyre, Yoshi Tatsu, AJ Lee, Natalya, and Ministry of Darkness Undertaker. There are also over 20 new moves associated with those characters, such as Tensai's Poison Mist Claw and Ryback's Shellshocked.

Oh! Excite! I have the season pass.
 
Only in wrestling games to they have issues with getting certain wrestlers in the game. Never in any other sports game. NBA 2k and Madden are filled to the brim with legends and legendary teams. Is it THAT big of a deal to get Chyna or Sid in the game? NBA games have Rodman, Shaq, Jordan & Bird.

Sid wasn't around for what THQ considers to have been the Attitude Era, and Chyna does professional hardcore porn. The WWE "equivalents" of guys like Rodman, Shaq, Jordan, and Bird have no problem getting into these games -- Austin, Rock, Michaels, et cetera.
 
The downloads for this are confusing the hell out of me. Is each individual wrestler 300+ mb or is the whole DLC that amount. I select them but they don't show up in my active downloads. I basically have to leave it on screen for one wrestler. Hopefully when I've downloaded the 317 mb for one I have them all.

The 300 MB file contains all of the DLC; you only have to download that once. Everyone else is an unlock key based on that larger file.

For those of you on the PS3, be sure to quit the game after downloading the DLC without leaving the WWE Shop menu. Otherwise, all of your Universe data and move-sets will be erased. This is the third year in a row this has happened.

the game would be great. would be great. if they only fix that inexcusable pin bug. a lot of great matches only saved by KO.

something tells me that some of the left overs from UFC's side worked on the game - havent seen pro stuff in years and they forgot to program booilan data sets. THQ was moving in a better direction but they kept fucking up. No big loss though. TNA sees blood in the water and is ready to pounce.

Why does Ryback only have 87 overall and not Shellshocked as his finisher? Seems pretty stupid.

edit: I'm stupid, the delayed fisherman suplex is Shellshocked. But still, his overall is pretty low.

Not if you consider his stats might be lacking in a few areas, like jump and stuff like that...

He's a power monster, not an all around supa champion-type dude.

I bumped him up to 89. I never use him though, mostly because everyone online does.

I just noticed this is on sale for £17.99 at Argos today - how does it compare to last year? Is it a better game? Mostly, I remember reading a lot of complaints about online and not being able to access created content, has that been fixed this year?

I haven't been kicked off of community creations from the few times I've been on the servers. They seem to be running pretty smooth this year which is good.
 
Hey guys, I'll be putting together a video with a friend tomorrow to be uploaded to YouTube. We're just wondering what Created Characters we should be on the lookout for on the PS3 version of the game.
 
Why? Why is there no separate option to turn off menu music?! I still want to hear intro music before matches, but I can't stand having to listen to David Otunga's theme during character select.

Hey guys. Haven't played a wrasslin' game since No Mercy, also gave up watching years ago. I saw a random video of the new WWE game and it had all the classic wrestlers. I'm intrigued. Have a few questions...

1. Is it easy to pick up and play?
2. Is the create-a-wrestler feature good?
3. If you attack someone enough and then hit your finishing move, will he stay down?
4. Can you edit attires like in No Mercy?

Thanks.

1. Well it's harder than Smash Bros, but it's still pretty easy.
2. It's great.
3. Most of the time, I've had to hit my finisher twice.
4. Haven't played No Mercy, but you can have multiple attires per CAW.

I think if you tweak the sliders right, you might be able to get it where hitting a finisher will be enough. Might not matter at the highest difficulty though, or maybe only at Quick match pace?

Yeah. I play at Legend difficulty, but I haven't tweaked the sliders.

In an I quit match against the CPU, I hit my finisher about 10 times and I still lost. The CPU cheats at those. :p

I picked up WWE 13 about a week ago when Gamestop was selling it for $30, and I'm really happy with it. I absolutely love how they present the Attitude Era stories by splicing vignettes of actual footage and rendering them straight into the game. I get a few glitches in some matches (tag-team mates sometimes won't go back to the apron), and at times the Historic Bonus Objectives are a pain, but this is the most fun I've had in a wresting game since Here Comes the Pain.
 
Hey, quick question:

In story mode, is there a way to use the winner of the previous match in a cutscene afterwards? Say, i have a title fight, and i want him to receive the belt in a cutscene following? (The same goes for a Money In The Bank match, or what have you).

I believe you can with storyline branches. I think if you add conditions to your match you can have different outcomes play out after the match if someone wins. I haven't used the story mode much but I think that's what you can do.
 
I just picked up the game yesterday for 360 as I thought this might be the last Yuke's edition of WWE, and it may get hard to get the game and/or DLC in the near future.

I played the game at Fan Expo and thought it was much improved since the last one I played (SvR 2011) , and the amount I played last night reinforced that. The HUD just lets you know so much about the important things (why you're missing reversals, when you can do finishers/signature moves, how to avoid getting thrown out of the ring during the royal rumble) while still remaining very minimal, which I love. There's still the odd time where you think you're in distance to grab a guy but you miss though...

I spent most of last night trying to download created wrestlers... the whole wrestler download section would lock up after every 4 or 5 wrestlers I downloaded, and then I had to go back to the dashboard to start the game again. Was pretty annoying.

I ended up downloading 35 created wrestlers. Pretty quickly realized I don't have enough slots for all the wrestlers I wanted, so I ended up creating a list of the notable wrestlers that I knew of starting from Wrestlemania 1 until current day that weren't in the game (got a list of 125 wrestlers), and now I've cut it down to the ones I want to add. So now I'm all set to customize the heck out of this game :)... but I dread the time it will take to go through the menus to get the wrestlers and then customize their entrances.

Heres the list of Wrestlers I'm planning to add:

Hulk Hogan
Andre the Giant
Macho Man Randy Savage
Ultimate Warrior
Roddy Piper
Ricky Steamboat
Jake the Snake Roberts
Ted DiBiase
Mr. Perfect
Arn Anderson
Sgt. Slughter
Ric Flair
Owen Hart
Matt Hardy
Jeff Hardy
Chris Benoit
Kurt Angle
Scott Hall
Kevin Nash nWo
Hollywood Hulk Hogan
Batista
Goldberg
The Giant
NWO Randy Savage
Eric Bischoff
Yokozuna
Jimmy Neidhart
King Kong Bundy
Virgil
Rick Rude
Bam Bam Bigelow
Scott Steiner
Razor Ramon
Lex Luger
Jeff Jarrett
Diesel
Sycho Sid (Sid Justice)
Bubba Ray
D-Von
Rob Van Dam
Chavo Guerrero
Buff Bagwell
Sting
Hacksaw Jim Duggan
George the Animal Steel
Dynamite Kid
Honkey Tonk Man
Rick Martel
Paul Orndorf
IRS
Jimmy Snuka

Thats 51. I need to cut one more off that list... (I realize there may be some repeats on that list, but if so, they are probably there for alternate attire). Its probably between Rick Martel and Paul Orndorf.
 
You can rip ISOs of the game and replace videos, wrestlers, etc with others assets. You obviously need a hacked/modded console to play the final product, though.

I've found out that this is not true. You can insert a video into the game simply by copying your created wrestler to a usb stick and then using a tool on PC to import a titantron (you can easily find them on youtube) to your saved game. I know this works for 360. not sure about PS3.
 
The servers seem to have gone to shit since launch. I have a lot of trouble searching and downloading content now.

Yep. Basically good luck trying to search for anything between like 6:30pmET to 11:30pmET. Outside of that time though it seems to work mostly ok.

It started off great, but tailed after a month or something. The small patch they did might've knocked something loose.

Truly, though, this is something THQ/Yukes have had problems with for many years. Excited to see what 2K have in store. I am still playing every now and then in Universe mode and some times get online for matches.

My own guess is that their search indexing is crap. Both an increase in content and an increase in traffic makes it worse. And thats why if you go on during off hours its a much better experience.
 
I'm *really* liking the Attitude era stuff. Having to complete the historical objectives really feels like your goal is to hit your spots.

Yup. I think they need to make a sim mode that's more about hitting spots than winning. You're graded accordingly and your success and failure is dependent on it. I'd love that.
 
In universe mode, is there any reason why certain characters aren't qualified for the main title of that show?

For example, Sting is not eligible for the WCW Title in my Nitro show, or Abyss is not eligible for the TNA Title for the Impact show. Yet there's plenty of other CAWs just like them who are able to challenge for the belt.

Might be their weight class is wrong?

You can modify that when you edit a wrestler in the Universe mode. Can't remember the exact menu screen to get there.
