Here's a list of some ideas I have:

Have 6 matches per RAW and Smackdown. Keep Superstars at 3 matches.

Keep it where it makes the matches automatically but change it so that you can edit the matches before the show starts (instead of one match at a time). Then have it where you can do the entire card after editing the matches the way you want them. I know this is a lot like GM mode.

Have the storylines flow better. It happens too much where the champion is feuding with somebody and then the PPV comes and the number one contender is somebody who he hasn't been in a feud with for the past few weeks.

I agree with everything you said pretty much. I would also somehow incorporate some of the options from the old GM Modes. Like maybe choose superstars to put in a storyline or have promo slots that you can add superstars too.

Instead of having the shows at a fixed number of matches, make it a selectable choice. If I want to raise Raw to 10 matches and cut Smackdown to 3, let me do it.

Let me create a brand for every day of the week if I want to, each with their own roster (with no limitations as far as how many or what type of superstars need to be on that brand). When I choose which superstars show up on that brand, make that choice actually matter. If I choose only Raw superstars can appear on Raw, then I don't want to see Smackdown people showing up, and I DEFINITELY don't want free agents and legends showing up.

Stop having the exact same rematch for months on end. This is especially a problem with diva matches, as I get the same triple threat match every single week. The rest of the divas don't even get used, and often the only way to get a fresh match is to move one of the involved divas to another brand or fire them entirely. Even removing them from each others' rivals list doesn't make the feud end. This happens with male superstars too, but not nearly as often.

When someone gets injured, stop putting them into matches. Also, let me turn injuries off in Universe Mode if I decide I don't want to deal with them anymore.

Let me have as many belts active on a brand as I want, and let me set restrictions on who can compete for it. If I have the Cruiserweight title enabled, let me set it so that only cruiserweights can challenge for it. Let me set one of the tag championships for divas if I want to. And if I want to have the WWE championship, European championship, Hardcore championship, Intercontinental championship, Cruiserweight championship, and Women's championship all active on Raw, let me do it.

ALWAYS book world title matches at PPV's. More than half the time in my Universe mode, the WWE championship doesn't get a match on the card unless I make it happen. This is absolutely ridiculous.

I don't mean to sound so negative, I do enjoy Universe Mode quite a bit (it's pretty much all I do with the game other than the odd Exhibition match when I want to play without advancing Universe). But there's definitely a lot of room for improvement. I wouldn't come up with such a laundry list of ideas if I didn't like this mode so much. If it were a topic about, say, RTWM, I wouldn't bother because the only thing they can do to make that mode more enjoyable is either scrap it entirely or at least make it so you don't need to play it to unlock anything.

Those are all good ideas. With there being so many titles it would be nice to have more available to use. Also, it would be nice to have more brands. I have a lot of downloaded CAWs so it would be cool to have another brand for all of them. Having one of the tag titles for the divas is a good idea too. I would really like that.

Allow the ability to actually retire superstars/divas you don`t plan on using...meaning they`re gone from Universe Mode until you feel like putting them back in

Bring back the create-a-belt option and incorporate it into Universe Mode

Great idea too. I forgot about that one. That's another thing I'd like to have in the game.

THIS. If they atleast added these on top of everything we have currently, i'd be happy. If all of the ideas were implemented, then that would be great, too.

I honestly wouldn't mind a title history. They could use real life stats and let us build from there.

I'd like to know how the past champions are from my universe or even how long my champ has held the title.

the whole thing needs better flow in general
random is good, but its way too random
i shouldnt have to change anything to purposely avoid undertaker teaming with dolph ziggler to go for the tag titles against arn anderson and mason ryan
theres a lot of small things outside of universe mode that could improve it
like being able to set which attire is the default attire for wrestlers
but also stables, i should be able to set which members in the stable are the tag team, or none at all
if i want to recreate legacy i shouldnt have to put orton in the 3rd/lowest slot just so universe will correctly book rhodes/dibiase in the tag matches
or maybe i want to create a stable of all singles competitors that never goes after the tag belts
we should be able to set a wrestlers attitude/style because undertaker shouldnt be jumping around and smiling and generally being over-excited, but we also may have CAWs that are the same way
i want certain CAWs to act a certain way not just in universe cutscenes but also in post-match victory scenes
another thing id like to see added is goal assignments, if i want to push a specific guy or have them go for a specific title i should be able to set it so that universe will start building them up appropriately over time, maybe even allowing the player to decide the time... anywhere from 1 month to a year
last thing for now... if i change something about a superstar or stable, universe should realize thats something that was just changed and hasnt had any impact on a show
ie if i broke up a face stable and changed one of the guys to a heel, universe should, at the next compatible show (smackdown if theyre smackdown stars, raw if theyre raw stars, etc), book them in a tag match as if they are still a stable and then have them split up at the end of that match having the heel attack his face partner
do not treat things that i just changed as if they were always that way

all this is on top of what has been said by everyone else

Great Idea. This is something that most people overlook and i think it needs to be added to make it more like what we see on T.V.

How would I make Universe much better?

Get rid of it and bring back GM Mode or HCTP/SYM season mode.

If for some stupid reason they don't do those, then do these:

Have storylines that make sense, instead of just being matches with the same freakin 4 cutscenes over and over again. Oh look he bought a front row ticket! Does nothing. Oh a diva manages your match, only to not be seen again. It's so bloody boring.

I'm surprised nobody has said this yet...

Be able to set the number of PPVs, Dates of the PPVs and whether or not they're brand exclusive.

i'd prefer a fusion of the two modes. neither mode on its own is awesome. though i enjoy universe more than GM mode could ever entertain me. but a fusion of the two would be amazing.

GM mode had structure universe sorely needs. and universe has never ending playing and randomness GM mode sorely needed.

you know two GM's competing never endingly. perhaps changing who plays the GMs. GM modes forced feuds and set ups of different kinds of rivarlies with universe's cut scenes. and i rather liked 24/7 modes ppv hype packages. and GM mode had rankings that meant something but it would need to not be exploitable and maybe a tad bit more random like universe.

really combining it all would be off the charts.

the most important part of all of this is you can still play as whoever. and even act as a GM on one, both, or neither of the shows. which is a greater freedom GM mode neither provided.

I wanna be able to have as many brands as I want (with shows on whatever day I want, I could have Raw on Monday, WCW Nitro on Tuesday, ECW on Wednesday, TNA on Thursday, and Smackdown on Friday), with as many people on each brand as I want. I also what to have the ability to set the number of matches per show. I want to be able to create whatever Pay-Per-Views I want, and determine what brands compete at what PPV (for example, I don't want the Raw roster to compete at Starrcade, and I don't want the TNA guys to compete at Wrestlemania). Finally, I want create-a-belt mode back, and have an unlimited amount of active belts.

In addition to being able to completely remove someone from Universe, to where they NEVER, EVER appear, it would also be nice to be able to give characters someone else's "spot".

Meaning, you would be able to keep storylines, feuds, and rankings going with a different character by switching them out. To elaborate:

Say you download a CAW of Chris Jericho and you get in him involved in Universe. He has storylines, he's climbing the ranks, etc. But then you find a better CAW of Jericho and download that one. You should be able to switch them out, and have the new Jericho CAW continue the career uninterrupted.

Or with Kane. The in-game Kane is entrenched in a feud, and you want to have him return as either the Masked Kane DLC character, or a new attire Kane with the mask that you downloaded from CC. Remove in-game Kane from the roster, and slide the DLC or CC Kane into his place to pick up right where he left off.
