Career mode: ------------ In order to unlock career mode, you must first create your own wrestler. You cannot play career mode with a WWE Superstar or WWE Diva. Winning matches within three minutes At the beginning of season mode, the game forces you to win some matches in three minutes. An easy way to do this is to choose the move "Mounted Punches" for you character. During the match, get your opponent on the ground and keep doing the Mounted Punches until the his head is yellow on the damage meter. Then, do a submission and make them tap out. Easy money: ----------- Note: This trick requires a memory card. Copy a profile to a memory card, then buy an item. Go to your memory card and copy it back to your Xbox's hard drive. You will have the item that you just bought and all of your money back. Use the following trick to get an easy $4,000 every minute and a half. Have two controllers; set up a handicap 1 vs. 3 tag match and have controller two in control of all three of your opponents. With controller one, keep using signature moves to build up your Heat meter. Once that is built up, use your finisher for the $1,000 bonus plus the $3,000 match bonus for the handicap. Change the difficulty to "Legend". Insert a second controller and go to Exhibition, Single, Cage Match. Choose your character and your second controller. After that, start the match and just climb out of the cage. This counts as a win and results in easy money. When you climb over, just do rematch. You will win a lot of matches in a very short amount of time. This is a good way to increase your profile stats. Depending on the match type (Single, Cage, Royal Rumble), big money can be earned quickly. First, make a profile. This is the only way to earn money outside of Career mode and get paid. After making the profile, go to any match desired (Royal Rumble recommended). This can take up to an hour, but is worth it. If you win the match quickly and throw out a decent amount of people, you can earn up too $10,000 for winning, which is only enough for one attribute but it adds up quickly. Depending on how high the difficulty is set, you may even get more. Probably the easiest way to get a quick $2,500 is to set up a "Singles" or "Ladder" match with two human players but only play yourself. By doing this, you can do a few very powerful moves to a uncontrolled opponent. Also if you stand there and mock and get your Heat meter full, you will get bonus money when you do your finisher to the uncontrolled opponent. You will get paid every time you win in and out of Career. If you have the skill and want to try this, go to the options menu and under "Gameplay", switch the difficulty to something harder. That harder the difficulty, the more money you will get. Easy submissions: ----------------- When you have someone in a submission hold, alternately press X, A instead of just one button repeatedly as the game prompts. The bar on top for the hold will move towards submit very quickly. It will not cause your opponent to tap out however, unless the body part you are applying it to is yellow, almost orange. Additionally, instead of just pressing A, turn the controller so you can use the index fingers of both your hands to hit all four buttons at a time. Note that your opponent will only "tap out" if that body part is at orange or higher damage. Easy wins in Season mode: ------------------------- Batter your opponent, and when it gets between two and three minutes, get your opponent on the floor and press Start. Then, return to the menu and you should be the winner. Note: This only works in Single matches. Easy wins in Last Man Standing match: ------------------------------------- Pull out weapons until you beat your opponent into the red. After this, taunt the opponent until you get the heat boost full to do a special. The best way to do this is to use Eugene. First, get special with Eugene, hit the Stunner, then taunt a lot. Follow this up with Eugene's version of the Special Peoples Elbow. However, do this with about eight or nine seconds remaining on the clock; this will ensure that he stays on the ground. It works the same way with The Worm, except you can start it with about six seconds due to the moves. Easy wins in Royal Rumble match: -------------------------------- Have yourself as the third player and make the first, second, and fourth player a CPU character, if you are not using the controllers option. If you have three controllers, this is easy. If you do not, use the following trick. When you are the first player, you usually get attacked by at least two people. However, the third player does not always get double-teamed or sought after. This is a great advantage. You can get immense points from this. When you are in the match, build up your heat meter by taunting only. If you are being targeted by the fourth player, just make him Irish Whip you into the turnbuckle or to the ropes without making him throw you out. He may ignore you and focus on the first player. When your heat meter is full, do a finisher on any player (preferably the first player, unless he is being attacked so much that you cannot touch him). After using your finisher, taunt and fill up your heat meter. Make sure that the first player does not get thrown out. To make sure this does not happen, punch him when he is in the process of being thrown out, or at least, attack him. Quick Jab is useful here. As soon as he escapes from being thrown out, grapple him immediately or he will get threatened again by being thrown out. After you grapple him, do any attack desired. However, do not do a submission move. Go after him, attack him, use a submission move on him, etc. Build your taunt meter and use your finisher on him. Keep building your heat meter and using your finishers. This is a great way to get over 10,000 points, although slow. To get expertise points along with a lot of maximum heat meter points, just get attacked or at least get an orange or red signal on your body. This will show that you are greatly damaged by the specific area, like the face or chest, but you still do not get thrown out. You should triple-team or double-team the first player. The others will also attack him too, so that you are not the only target for him. To make him bleed from the head, just get his face to the red area, then do Mounted Punches on him. punch his face at least two times. He will bleed without you having to use weapons. If you want to throw a CPU player out early even when he is fresh, just tap on the buttons quickly and rotate the Left Analog-stick.
