Custom match not working in universe mode

[BowInTheNorth]

i create them and can play them just on instant play. but the moment i try and use them in universe mode with the custom match table or try and edit the match it just refuses to work.

[Zeokage]

How does it refuse?

[BowInTheNorth]

no matter what the custom match just doesnt work. so for instance i made a fatal four way elimination and put it in the match table, it would only put up normal fatal four way. if i go into it and change it to make it the elimination version, it will put it right back to the normal one straight after you confirm match

[Zeokage]

Are you trying to make changes to rivalry matches happen?

[BowInTheNorth]

no they are normal matches

[Zeokage]

What percentages are you putting into the Match Table? What about other rules and not elimination?

[Meowsama Bin laden]

yeah its a bug put in a ticket about it got hit with the we are aware and working on it response so give it time maybe they will fix it soon

so ive done it with different percentages, and sometimes ive made it the sole match with 100%. and it would just spawn 5 matches of normal 4 way rather than the custom.

and ive also made just a normal 1v1 with KO on... and yeah that doesnt work either. so instead of going through the whole list im going to assume that custom matches dont work on universe. im on PC btw

So it sounds like the application of the match type works, it's the rules that are lacking.

Custom matches in Universe Mode still partly broken

Visual Concepts did fix some of the issues regarding custom matches in Universe Mode, however custom rules still DO NOT APPLY whatsoever. Changing timers in between etntrants in gauntlet matches doesn't do anything. Eliminination matches still at times are single fall matches instead.

This basically forces players into playing out their matches in exhibition instead and makes Universe Mode hard to enjoy.
It doesn't make a difference either whether the AI books a custom match via match table or the player does manually. This "core-feature" of a sandbox, where it is all about customization still is NOT WORKING properly.

Great game otherwise, with very fun gameplay but if I got a dollar for every bug I came across I'd be well fed through the yearly cycle. Please Visual concepts scrap this messy decade old spaghetti code and create Universe Mode from scratch. It worked with the gameplay overhaul and GM-mode has become pretty good through the years as well. You guys CAN PROPERLY CODE!

Have you sent in a ticket? It was supposedly fixed in the 1.07 patch.

I read the 1.07 patch notes and jumped back into Universe Mode to test whether it was actually fixed. They did fix the game acknoledging that custom matches exist and they are booked too on the shows.
As far as custom rules on mathes in general the mode still doesn't work properly.

I'm kinda over sending support tickets to 2K and be part of their QA...have already had to send a couple for myFaction issues and the responses at times are snarky and uncalled for.

We shouldn't pay full price for the privilage of being beta-testers and having to deal with questionable support.

In what way? Do you have any examples?

[Rayven]

Asking for additional video proof repeatedly when I created support tickets for not receiving MyFaction Rewards I unlocked after I already sent proof in form of screenshots, even highlighting the issues in the screenshots.

Disregarding questions about specific issues in other modes to point me to FAQ-links that deal with unrelated topics and don't do anything to actually adress the issues I referred to.

I'll gladly report bugs and features not dealing correctly as I spend a lot of time playing and come across these things but I struggle with the idea of feedback being either ignored or in the case of the MyFaction-support making me jump through additional hoops of providing evidence that I already provided, at times multiple times...

[Zeokage]

I don't know what part of that is snarky, but it sounds like video might be preferred in some situations.

[Rayven]

You can't expect everybody to record their playsessions in case their mode has issues, which it had plenty in the first weeks and historically has had every now and then over previous iterations.

I did send proof in every e-mail, they didn't bother checking multiple times and had me resend the same screenshots which then was accepted without issue...
Redirecting players to FAQs to inrelated topics is...well a joke, what is the point in replying then if you don't even bother properly reading the feedback.

I know the devs are a solid team and deal professionally with feedback, support at times really does not.
