WWE '12 Guide › Essentials › WWE Universe

Introduction

This is truly the “season” mode for sports-entertainment sim game fans. If you are one of those gamers who methodically play every minute of every match, this mode will host hours and hours of gameplay fun for you. The really cool feature of this mode is your ability to simulate or play each match, regardless of Superstar. You don’t necessarily choose one Superstar to “be”—you can be anybody, six anybodys, or everybody .

Also, if you decide halfway through your Universe that you want to take the reins of a different Superstar you’ve yet to control, you can select the new one and even choose to play against the Superstar you were perhaps working with before. The WWE Universe is fully customizable.

As far as how the WWE Universe differs from the other modes: Basically the Momentum system is expanded and carries over from match to match based on wins and losses, the Superstars are customizable, and you will gain rivals and allies (and can interfere in matches in dramatic fashion) based on how the Universe plays out. You choose your own story path and the AI will respond.
