For the Create-A-Arena feature, custom arenas named RAW, SmackDown, or NXT will now appropriately brand the referee. Additionally, the SmackDown movie is now correctly named, and users can add customizations to parts with LED displays; the display will turn off temporarily and reactivate after customization. In the Create-A-Superstar feature, the colorless emboss setting now saves correctly, and logos no longer shrink when editing the first color. These updates aim to improve the overall gameplay experience and address various issues reported by users.
