You can check out a full walkthrough of this year's Universe Mode embedded above that highlights the new features and available options in the mode, with a list of additions below:

Rivalry Manager

You can now choose to setup your own custom rivalries in Universe Mode, with options for one on one or tag team rivalries that take place over 4-12 weeks.

Select Default Attires

New to Universe Mode this year is the ability to set a default attire for Superstars, Divas or Created Characters with multiple attires to use in Universe Mode. Alternately, you can also set this to Random to randomly have the computer choose an attire for each match.

New PPV Themes

This year sees the addition of two new PPV Themes to use in Universe Mode:

No Mans Land - Cage, Hell in a Cell or Elimination Chamber main event matches.

King of the Ring - 8-man King of the Ring Tournament main event.

The winner of the King of the Ring Tournament also receives a King of the Ring title that is displayed next to their name for the remainder of the year, or until a new King is crowned.

WWE.com

The News section has now been replaced with a WWE.com section that keeps track of current rivalries and statistics throughout Universe Mode.

All Divas Show

This year the Divas Championship can be set as a major title on a show which will result in the Divas main eventing, or running the show entirely if you remove the male championships.

NXT Championship

The NXT Championship is included as a selectable title this year, meaning you can create your own NXT show on the Universe calendar.

Did they show any divas bare their renders?

[Smacktalks]

Nope

They did say the Divas entrance / finisher videos are coming tho, so we should see the first this week I think.

[IceShimmer x]

Watch it will be Lita or Stephaine lol someone I dont want to see xD

[Smacktalks]

Yeah, i'm expecting them to save the new models till last

[TheYoungLiar]

Was that Kane model from the livestream? Because to me it looks identical to the WWE '13 model and i'd heard lots of people complain that it was wrong and looked off.

[Smacktalks]

Yeah, it looks to be the same as last year, along with the choke finisher.

I was disappointed he wasn't updated but his attributes and finisher are enough  to please me.  couldn't the dude just make the attire in superstar threads and set it as default for universe?

[bugsyboy]

Nice to see they fix the attires problem for when we edit calendar in advance ,king of the ring for main event is nice to and i love the way they did the rivalry

That could be because Kane IS unchanged!  His attire and look are virtually the same maybe minus the whole goatee thing he had going on when he first returned that he no longer has.  But 2K totally redeemed themselves by giving Kane a reanimated choke slam finisher!  I was impressed with Universe considering that they crammed all of those new additions into the game plus the big roster with 30 Years of WrestleMania.  Honestly I wasn't expecting much change this year but the new things they did add make WWE2K14 worth owning in my opinion.  I just hope the Universe portion of the game is smart enough to pick up on the ally/enemy differences to avoid any idiotic occurances like stable members facing each other in the card, which happened quite often in WWE '13.  I also LOVED how you have many attires to choose from which was much different from last year where you manually had to go to "Superstar threads" to edit.  All in all, 2K did a great job and I can't see why a true fan of WWE and gaming would NOT buy this game.

If we change the attires in superstar threads there will most likely be an option to set as permanent attire like the alternate ones.

[the King Lives]

^ yeah man I agree. I've never been a fan of that Kane anyway lol but loved that chokeslam! And the fact we can finally set attires as well as rivalries! Hoping they addressed the stable issue whereas if you had the nWo and wanted to do the nWo trio entrance you had to put hogan and Nash in the tag slots and hall in the 3rd alot. I hated that but it wasn't a big deal lol

It's pretty much the same thing.... In wwe13 any attire you make with threads is considered an alternate attire. It seems they're using the same format to set alternate attires as default

Love that they listened to the fans and add the default attire option, looks like we are getting a NXT Superstars Pack, love the new rival manager, just love the game. With all of these new features i seriously can't wait to get the game.

Well it is possible though, they got the new NXT tittle and logo. Also Bo Dallas and Big E is one of the cover contest pictures.

Woo the NXT Championship is in! Can't wait to make an NXT brand

[brackett5]

Can we remove the divas title and add a Norbert males title?? Didn't know if it was discussed .

[the King Lives]

@alex well if u put it that way, the cole lawler and jr should be in the game lol

That's like all those people saying Jim duggan boss man and piper would be in the game simply bc of their t-shirts in the crowd
