Just like I said earlier, but not only that, they should implement too: (Universe Mode)

- How many times they won the championships, the amount of days they hold them, and the total successful defenses they had

- The Titles' History

- The wrestlers last 200 match or whatever the number they want and the outcome of them

With this, we can actually keep track of everything.

All of this ( except the amount of days the wrestlers hold titles) was present in Here Comes the Pain, and I strongly hope that it will be present in WWE '13. I just loved seeing all this information in Here Comes the Pain, it's little things like these that can make all the difference. Not to mention that all of this information can actually help people in creating and developing feuds in the Universe Mode.

Create an Arena sounds awesome! Finally the stage can be edited! Hopefully they have the parts to make any Raw/Smackdown stage that there have been over the years so I can bring the Smackdown fist set back.

Great points raised. Repped. I'd love to see all of that implemented into the game. Pretty much the only thing I played on WWE 12 was Universe Mode. I mostly played with my brother with our created characters and we won and loss many titles that I wish there was statistics on. Over 2 years of Universe Mode, my created character was a former 6 time World Champion and I wish it kept track of who I beat, how long I held the title for, etc. It would be such a simple thing to implement into the game to, because as you say, it was in a previous wrestling game in Here Comes The Pain. I won't get my hopes up that they'll have this in the game though. THQ haven't really addressed Universe Mode yet, probably because they haven't made any real changes to it...

I just hope it is included in the game. I don't buy a wrestling game since Smackdown vs Raw 2009, but this year I'm going to buy it, because it looks like the game is actually very good, the roster is awesome, I wanna experience the new gameplay and I'm sure I'm going to love it. I hope they finally get their shit together regarding the online because I'm too really looking forward to whoop some real ass (even though I'm not much of an online player) and because of the Community Creations obviously.

But, just like you, the main thing for me about this game is the Universe Mode, because I'm sure it's where I'm going to spend most of my time in the game. I've been hoping for something like the Universe Mode since I played Here Comes the Pain, but since that game, the Career/Season Mode has been so lackluster, short and so linear. Finally, with the Universe Mode, I finally got what I wanted for a Career Mode. Something that just keeps going and going as far as we want, giving us the ability to play all matches that we want, playing through all TV shows, PPV's and having the ability to edit almost everything that we want ( edit matches, cards, rivalries, feuds, alliances)and if they now include what I said earlier it would be the best experience in a wrestling game I will ever have.

This is really really good. It doesn't bother me that I actually lived the outcomes of the storylines, it will bring a nostalgic feel and I will probably still see myself marking out like I did when I was watching it live 15 years ago.

Here's my custom cover of Daniel Bryan for WWE 13 as it was requested from someone on another site. I thought I should share it here.

The AE arenas with all the original logos and atmosphere like SVS 1998, Summerslam 1998 and WM15 is also a great addition.

I have to say that I've never been a big fan of WWE video games. It's mostly the gameplay that bothers me. Maybe I just suck, but I just find the whole system very frustrating. Especially the reversals and kick-outs. And I find all of the specialty matches to be very boring and frustrating. I've just never enjoyed playing them.

That having been said, when I heard that WWE '13 would feature the Attitude Era, I was stoked. I began watching wrestling during the Attitude Era, so a video game where I can play as some of the stars that I grew up watching really grabbed my interest. After the roster reveal, though, I have to admit that I am a little disappointed.

It seems like they left out a lot of current wrestlers and replaced them with quite a few duplicates. Couldn't the other versions of the characters just have been alternate attires? Why did they need to make a whole other character? Perhaps I just don't understand the creation of video games, but that just seems silly and wasteful to me.

Also, if I'm understanding correctly, playing through Attitude Era mode means that we'll be reliving moments from the past. So, basically, we'll just be playing through storylines that we have already seen on television years ago? That doesn't excite me quite as much.

Maybe I'm being ungrateful, but I'll rent it and see how I like it. I may change my mind.

[TheFlyingAsterix]

Yeah the new addition in the roster and attitude era is great and all....but what they havent realised is that thats not what makes us get bored from the game after three months,it's the gameplay.You still cant suplex someone outside the ring,no fighting in crowd,cant brake the barricade,no chokeslam outside the ring,no dropping someone from the stage,no mid-air rko,and alot of other things that need to be done.

Yup that would be pretty awesome if they featured some WCW stars. I wouldn't be surprised if next year is MNW themed.

So, since it seems to be focusing on early 1997 to WM 15 (1999) how do you think Rock's story will be shaped? Do you think his empty arena match for the strap against Mankind will be in the game?

It kind of sucks that they didn't do all of the Attitude Era and just abruptly stopped at 1999. I would have loved a corporate ministry angle or the McMahon-Helmsley story.

Well, I hope to god both stories find a way into the mode.
