I think I have seen others say this, but with my universe mode I fully customize and book every show on my own, I do raw and smackdown with 4 matches each. It gets tedious a lot of the time but I find it a lot more rewarding when you finally make it to a PPV, I have never really enjoyed letting the ai book the show even using match tables. So if you are also someone who doesn’t find that way of playing much fun either, I 100% would suggest trying to book your own shows with a few less matches to make it manageable

Hey Matt you’re the best. I keep Universe Mode the same. The only thing I changed was Raw and SmackDown to their 2002 versions. I love the SmackDown fist 👊 and it looks cool with entrances. I wish WWE would bring back cool stages for Raw and SmackDown. Keep up the great work Matt. Your amazing.

If you really want the authentic feel like WWE in your Universe Mode, act like you’re Kevin Dunne and do a thousand camera cuts 🤣🤣

so glad divisions fixed hated how random title matches were

Finally, been waiting for that!

Love you for doing this brother. Been watching you since 2k22 and you are legit helpful. Blessings to you and your family

Fantastic job! I had never used this mode and was having some issues and you explained everything. Well done and highly recommended!

I already set up my fully up to date universe mode(play through the assumed mania card with my own twist. Just got through backlash (in France) and nearing nxt battle grounds I think. Watching the video to get ideas and support the Chanel. Keep up the good work

Great video! Really enjoyed it and it's got me thinking what I can do for things. Love the channel and videos so thank you.

27:39 That's the information I'd like to know, I'm glad they got this option to choose who will be the 3rd in the rivalry

YOUR THE BEST ASSEMBLE

Match tables for rivalries are different than regular match tables. Changing the format or regular one on one or tag matches do not change the match types for rivalries you have to change them separately. That’s always been a thing

Loved this vid fellow Matt! I’m already upto Summerslam in my Universe mode and I’ve come across a few bugs. The most annoying thing that I’ve noticed is ladder matches take FOREVER. It’s almost like the AI forget they’re in a ladder match, and my MITB entire card glitched out big time. Can’t remember what I edited within the PPV but it sent the whole thing into a tailspin. The women’s MITB ladder match was going for half an hour and not one participant went for the briefcase, and Andre the Giant ended up winning the men’s MITB by pinfall…😂. You read that right, no one went for a ladder for a good 20 minutes and Andre just pinned a man and won it which was hilarious. AI cash ins are glitched out too. I spectated a normal 1v1 match with my women’s champion, the women’s MITB just inserted herself into the match without no control from me, it ended up like a 2vs1 handicap match where Miss MITB just kept attacking the champion and not who she was wrestling, and when the match finished and the champ eventually lost, the 3 wrestlers just stood frozen in the ring and just stopped doing anything for ages. My guess was that was an AI attempted pre match cash in, and the whole thing just broke. So yeah plenty of bugs, but it’s the first universe mode I’ve played since wwe13, so it all seems so fricken cool to me even though it might be boring and repetitive and buggy to others! Would love it if you kept doing fun play throughs of universe in different forms and seeing what other bugs you find cos when they happened to me I googled to see if anyone had a fix and it felt like it was only happening to me so I’d love to see what else you might find so we’re all aware of it in our own universe modes. Anyway, great video! Loved your channel since I found it a few weeks ago! Keep it up fellow Matt! YEEEEAHHH

I like this idea and I'm excited to play universe mode.

Literally perfect

Thank Yew Assemble

Thanks for the video.

You helped thanks man but when you said Camara angles like Kevin dunne got me dying 😂😂

The weekly repetive rivalry matches kills replay value. No rivalry fight 4 times before the actual PLE

Finally thanks assemble

Assemble is the goat 🐐 ❤❤❤

Assemble if u want wwe Champion match in main event than u have to put wwe championship rivilvary in slot 1..

Assemble you may not be one of the disciples, but you are clearly doing the Lords work and for that we thank you

This is brilliant, im only trying universe mode forvthe first time this year so ill definitely be watching this, thank you

Nice merch by the way Assemble!

Matt !!!! Thanks for this video !!!!!!!

So, a heads up... If you don't make rivalries at all, and use a spreadsheet instead, you can use rivalry actions (all of them) in every single match if you wanted. You just have to keep track of what's happening yourself.

Tbh i like having some Custom Championships for like US and World cause i like making my own Champ History its also easier to see days held without the past champs It’s why i wish they had a thing where at start you can edit days held

One cool thing is you can have a superstar in 2 factions at the same time. I did it for Jimmy to be in the bloodline and the usos.

Hey Matt. I'm not sure if you know this, but if you alter the Universe but the match card doesn't change, all you have to do is back out to the main menu and go back into Universe Mode and the match card SHOULD update based on the new changes. At least, that's how it's worked for me in the past. If you're already aware of this, please disregard.

what i do for my universe i just put everyone in the mid card division so a have a lot more random matches so i don’t have the same people fighting every week and it can have someone fight for the world title who would usually not be in the title picture and you could also build your own story around it

ive put a good number of hours more than id care to admit making superstars and downloading them and sign and editing all my universe mode so a few weeks of work goes into universe mode for me before i actually start using it

Amazing

Attitude Universe series would be amazing

Never edited divisons.... Didnt even know what they are for 😅 Always make matches and rivels myself

Does Gm mode add DLC superstars into a save slot you have open before they’re released or do you have to start a new gm mode to use the dlc ?😊

Yeah….. I don’t really do all the mode’s anymore and I also gave up playing the story mode a long time ago when I release the the requirements to be allowed to write the story for that mode is that you are a insane amount of lead paint chips as a kid!!! And I am happy that I saw this before I did start up any mode again!?! I was thinking about trying this or GM mode….. but now I know about the problems here and I’ve seen a lot of the problems in GM mode, I probably won’t try this year. But I also hope they fix whatever so you can have your own custom characters in any of these game modes someday!?!

I usually put the modern roster together between Raw and Smackdown and make a legends show and change matches as i see fit

Im starting my univers soon , starting in 1984..wwf nwa and a fusion of montreal Lutte international with stampede wrestling

I personally don’t set up rivalries and just set up all matches week to week in every show and design the matches myself.

will new dlc wrestlers be included in the copy of the save? If we do the edit/copy before the dlc come out?

My issue is that even when you change the rivalry match table it will default the matches to normal 1 v 1 as you can see on the cutscenes that you select. So even if you want all hardcore matches it will change the match rules to normal if there is a scene like a slap before the match.

One thing I was hoping for this year woulda been more slots for universal mode

Hey Matt one question I need to ask and not sure if anyone else in the community is having the same problem but going from each PPV if I skip a couple weeks I always end up having new champions. It’s like they are having matches on raw and smackdown even though I’ve not pre set any match types for having title matches in smackdown or raw. I wonder if this was occurring for anyone else as I’m always having to switch it back to the original title holders before the next PPV. Thanks Matt!!

hey do you how to fix where it says (insufficient free space) when you download a caw/attire even though i have 783mb left of free space

Do you think they will ever merge this with my gm mode and make some sort of ultimate fantasy gm mode?

if you make a rivalry between mr money in the bank and who you want to cash against, the rivalry actions with the cash ins work better

I haven't picked up 2k24 as yet, but I was just curious about the Universe mode. Have they fixed it compared to 2k23 or is it pretty much the same?

If you want you can have Ashantee & Cedric Alexander as a tag team on Smackdown. Ivy Nile & Maxxine Dupri as a tag team on Raw. The Good Brothers on NXT. B-Fab with Bobby & Street Profits.

I just copy the current WWE roster and then vacate all titles then run tournaments for the vacant titles. This allows me to then create my own storylines going forward instead of copying WWE's current storylines

For match table to work you have to do it before you click on it. I never use the match table because I play my universe mode and plan it out myself. Just like rivalries I just plan them out. I keep automatic on if someone attack someone it will set them as a rival instead of me going in there having to do that.

43:50- That is definitely funny!!! 2K following the “no jumping brands” rule way more than WWE has ever done!!!

the contenters section is confusing. Each superstar can compete TO ONE ONLY category. if for example I put the rock as a team in a tag and set them to compete for the Tag Team titles, he automatically CANNOT compete for the WWE Championship solo. I haven't understand the concept of contenters yet. Does the game automatically book them to play one-another more often? Is everyone competing for everything or is it hard locked according the contenters section? Does it matter who you activate or not in the contenters? Extra question. Can we set up a kING OF THE RING tournament? I have seen that there are the show's images, etc but I cannot set a tournament anywhere

Can you do gauntlet matches at PLEs for championships?

@Assemble I will say it’s really tedious process in order to fix universe mode the only 2 things I wanted fixed is being able to use alternate attiers not mess up the rivalry when they are already in a rivalry and secondly I want 2k to fix is being able to use the run in payback in universe mode matches

It is so nice of LA Knight to help us with the setups to make a great universe mode run. Thank you sir 💪😉

My universe so bugged man. My mitb holders don’t even come out with the briefcase. The cards will have matches on the card screen and whole time it be a different match in its place it’s crazy man. They need a universe mode revamp

Quick question that needs to be answered right now cause I am starting Universe mode today. How do I get all my custom teams and different title holders from Roster (Play Mode) to be imported to Universe mode without doing making me do it all again?

Matt can I put WrestleMania on Saturday and Sunday night 1 and night 2

A question how come maybe only to me it happens the supertas created in community creations if I put them as a manager I disappear the models and put the presets not those created by me as I do

Universe mode is something that I love but has wound me up for a long time. I spend more time getting it to where I want than actually playing it. Sometimes I want to just run one brand for simplicity so I set up a super RAW, but then end up with a bloated roster I can’t manage (pretty accurate to real life to be fair) Until they make it so MITB can go after both brands world title that’s the thing that stumps me most, because I don’t want them pinned to one brand unless I make a one brand universe

In my universe I got the rock as undisputed champ and leader of the bloodline. He beat reigns to win the title and the tribal chief title, Setting up Roman to come back as the big dog to win the royal rumble and do big dog reigns vs rock at mania

Universe mode can be very enjoyable, as long as you know how to improvise and go with the flow. if you’re a control freak, and has to have things a certain way, you won’t like this mode, but if you don’t mess around with the rivalries, turn automatic rivalries off and you set up the divisions properly, only use rival reactions with free mode or whatever the game suggests, It’s very enjoyable. I just make minor adjustments as I go here and there and it works out so much better.

Hey Assemble, you know how you can get rivalries to end in universe mode without having to delete them? They seem to go on forever, had this issue in 2k23 as well.

Should introduce eras like nba did

I want the ability to set certain superstars as "Part Timers". That way they only show up for an occasional rivalry or for a big title fight. But then disappear again for a while. I know I can do this manually by just adding or removing them from the roster. However it would be nice too have a setting for this. I also don't want my champions fighting matches every single week. The game needs to recognize who the champs are and not continually put them in matches week after week. I also want a setting that randomly adds surprise entrants to the royal rumble. Normally I manually go into my rumble and throw in either a few legends or a few wrestlers that aren't assigned to any shows. I do this as surprise entrants, but it would be awesome if the game would randomly add in a surprise return or two into each royal rumble. Would add to the excitement and realism.

For the two royal rumble match set ups for the match tables, does the game recognize that it’s one men and one women?

Attitude era setup with no split roster and only one set of titles . That’s the setup I would like to see and honestly how WWE should be . Having multiple tag and world champs devalues the meaning of the title

A long time ago I downloaded a spinner wheel app and I use it for a draft whenever I’m setting up universes mode

Instead of having the women’s tag titles on both shows i just set it for raw and set a midcard women’s title on smackdown

What does the 'other' category actually do for matching?

@AssembleShow i'm having this weird glitch where my allies are not saving, last night i went through half of my roster and set up their allies HOWEVER it didn't save properly i closed the game twice and some allies saved but others didnt, what should i do?

match tables look nice in theory, but if they actually work is a whole other question.

Yo Assemble for the Power Rankings, the top like 10 I believe (or top 5) get stat boosts. that's what that does.

I usually only fool with power rankings when it comes to shoe horning my custom wreslters into the mix

6:19 I noticed this happens a lot with rivarly actions in weekly shows

I did a universe mode on Thursdays I made GLOW 2.0 (Gorgeous Ladies Of Wrestling) and empty Sunday slots for pay preview it would be Ladies Wrestling only I downloaded some custom created women and I added wwe Ladies roosters in GLOW shows

I’m still very confused by the match table. I don’t want pre set matches to begin with I Wanna customize my own matches for every show so do I even need to use the match table?

The Match Table is very broken… I lowered AND EVEN REMOVED the Single Match percentage entirely and even set it to only occur once per show and then regenerated the matches and I still had Single Matches all over the place (and yes, I even maxed out the Table with other match types).

when i use alt attires and start the match it changes ot the original attire it makes no sense and then the teams i create dont work as well

So far for mine I'm doing two different ones on different accounts and on my second one nxt is gone for good everyone is on the main roster two different show's all the teams disbanded as well and no managers

One thing you have to go in and edit the commentary for the pay-per-view shows

If you can help us get a king of the ring tournament in universe mode than this will be the best game for this year

I was just thinking about just letting my mode play out cause I'm too lazy to change everything lol

This may be a dumb question but does the game do that stupid glitch still where you try moving someone in the rankings & it doesn't switch the 2 people's spots? I don't know if I was the only one who ever experienced that in 2K23 but I'd have someone they put at like rank 8 & I'd try moving them to rank 2 & it wouldn't allow them to switch I hated it.

i wish you could use regular refs in universe mode for special guest referees , i would like to spectate the match but through a ref

Thanks Matt 🔥🔥

today is all about bugs mode

Could you make promos with wwe2k24 or no?

How do I make teams on universe mode because it doesn’t have awesome truth or Grayson Waller and Austin theory

I hope they add the bloodline original entrance and their victory scene

Indi and Candice are a tag team too

❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥

i heard if you put all PLE's om the last sunday of every month, All the rivalrys will end on time and not be bugged!

I'd love it if we could sign autographs

Can you do an Attitude era and nWo era Universe template for us?

You need the roster to be filled with the quality wrestlers that left wwe or were cut

Does anyone know if universe mode still gives the option to fight the Undertaker at Mania with the cutscenes?

I wish we could download load user created universes ! Ive seen some good ones i don’t have the energy to recreate

Isnt Bron Breakker tag team champions with Baron Corbin in NXT?
