Can I get a "新しい星を上に移動"?

[The Yes Man]

I feel extremely lucky for not having any of the problems most are with the patch, wonder why I didn't get it.

[G✇JI☈A]

For the hell of it here is what is happening in my Universe.. Just the title programs:

Intercontinental Champion - Rusev is feuding with Neville. Neville was the champ but the program is still going because of the rematch clause

Tag Team Champions The Ascension have just started a program with Los Matadores. Yeah I'm just letting the CPU take control of this one.

Diva's Champion 'The Farmer's Daughter' Tammy Reynolds has had the title for almost a 'Universe' year (must break Nikki's record). She appears to be in an never ending feud with Lita

U.S Champion 'The Voice of Reason' Jacob Hicks has just started a feud with John Cena.. Hicks has this alternate comedian/socialist like gimmick (like Bill Hicks or George Carlin). Hicks won the U.S title after shockingly defeating undefeated monster and fellow CAW 'Titan' (freed him of the title to set up a future WWE title program)

NXT Champion Sami Zayn has just reignited his feud with Finn Balor.

Does not seem to be feud for the NXT Tag (Amore & Cassidy) or Women's (a CAW named Grace Yamashita) championships at the moment.

WWE Champion Cesaro is in a program with 'Gorilla' Graham Montana .. But also has to watch his back for Money In The Bank briefcase holder The Rock (modern day)


Also have a show dedicated for the legends in the game called 'Legends Resurrected':

All Star Champion: Rowdy Roddy Piper is in a feud with Vader.

Also have All Star Tag Champs (The Hart Foundation) and the ECW Television Champion (William Regal .. could not be bothered making another custom title ) - But they not currently in programs.

[Bang Bang Bart]

In the NXT/Jersey City Title scene, Enzo is preparing for AJ Styles, on top of having to get ready to face the winner of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Invitational at Takeover: Rival. (Yes, he's doing double duty there)

[Deleted]

In my universe tag team action has seen a huge comeback with The Hart Foundation ending the over 1 year reign of The New Day.
The Hollywood Blondes are feuding with Ricky Steamboat & Sami Zayn
Mr. Perfect dumped Curtis Axel when he realized he sucked and instead formed a team with Rick Rude.
Kalisto & Neville are feuding with The Big Bossman & Dolph Ziggler.
Lord Steven Regal & Fit Finlay are #1 contenders.
Daniel Bryan ended HHH's WWE Title reign and got attacked by Samoa Joe.
Kevin Owens returned after being gone 6 months and attacked Sting.
Jericho returned to end Cesaro's 9 month US Title reign.
Jack Swagger has been NXT champ for 20 months and is Feuding with Titus.
ascension broke up and Viktor beat Cena 5 Raw's in a row.Survivor Series main event was a 3 on 3 elimination match with Cena/Taker/Titus vs Rollins/Viktor/Rusev.

[魔界5号]

Tomohiro Ishii got the win after 5 Ishii Drillers to both Naito and Vince and getting the pin on Ol' Vinny.

The rest of the card for that NXT TV show is..

Aiden English vs Simon Gotch (I've had both Vaudevillains and 2/3 of New Day booked against each other now.. weird)
Savio Vega vs Tye Dillinger
Batista vs Finn Balor
Brock Lesnar vs Sami Zayn

Savio Vega vs Tye Dillinger

I'd like to hire you as my co-booker.

[Emmet Russell]

Started a game with my brother, he has Raw and I have Smackdown.

Zack Ryder won the undisputed title from Steve Austin and is now getting ready to defend it against HHH in a Last Man Standing Fight To The Death Match.

I'm the only idiot daring enough to push Ryder.

["Mr Wonderdick" Dick Dastardly]

Simon Gotch fell asleep on the apron during an elimination tag match between The New Day and the Vaudevillians. Aiden English had to knock Gotch off the apron to get him to wake up.

Hey guys.... Long time lurker, first time poster. I really just popped in to vent my frustrations. As much as it pains me I think I may be done with this game. This is the 7th time my universe mode has been reset. 4th since the new patch. Has 2K announced ANY kind of fix for this? I mean this is almost game breaking for me. Spending hours upon hours in photoshop designing logos for my own two brands arenas and titles, setting up the shows, rosters, teams, ppvs and etc. How is this a thing? L've read that other people are having this problem as well. Any work around? It's just completely frustrating and totally demoralizes your fan base from even attempting to play anything other than exhibition matches. I've always loved Universe mode through the years but it feels like more and more goes wrong with it EVERY year. Any advice?

[r0b138]

Figured I'd show some of my arenas while I'm here. All logos were custom made by me.

This is the main show for one of my brands. GRPW: Shockwave



The secondary show is Roadrage



And the May PPV "Hardcore War"



There's also three major, what I like to call, "location" shows: Beasts in the East (Japan), Destination: New York (New York clearly) and Anarchy in the UK.



Hope you guys enjoy. I'll post more if you want. Hell, it might get me inspired to re-do Universe Mode AGAIN. Cheers!

As far as I'm aware there's a patch in the works to fix it, I think the latest was it was ready & with Sony & Microsoft for the ok to go out. There's a sticky thread on the 2K WWE2K16 official boards about it pal

I decided to make Baron Corbin the World HEAVYWEIGHT Champion on NXT. That's right, only heavyweights are eligible, suck it indy nerds!
