2k15 PC is really cheap now. Assuming it's still not worth buying (a modern WWE game with a bad create mode?) and the "mod scene" hasn't done much yet.

Strikes me as difficult for the WWE PC games to ever get much of a mod scene of they have a yearly release cycle. 2k16 would probably be the better bet as far as getting good-looking custom characters (and create-a-stadium and all the other features) if it ever gets a PC release, but still not worth full price. 2k15 "mod scene" is mostly custom superstars from what I can tell, but they still end up looking a bit off because of the toolset they're working with. I don't think I even played 2k16 on console more than a few times since I bought it. The tediousness/clunkiness of the mechanics finally caught up with me, and the career mode was such a drag it took forever for anything to actually happen.

ChrisBTY posted:Edit: Beaten. I've done the same in my WWF '83 game. I even hired Shane Douglas, who was a free agent, and despite him being a jobber he's getting over fairly quickly. Although the mod maker made him a positive influence on the locker room  He'll probably be a part of the youth movement in the WWF as I start phasing out the older guys. I just hit Cult, and am tempted to start signing guys to written contracts, but you know the whole Regional-Cult jump is a bit of a pain. There is one thing I wished the AI would do in these TEW games, and that's sign actual free agents. They're not aggressive enough in that regard, perhaps not at all. Unless I pick a guy up off the scrap heap even for a few months, they're just gonna sit in the free agent market and perhaps appear in the monthly independent show.

I think 16 will be a lot better since the CAW tools are better and the custom belts and arenas are back, so the only things you really need to mod in now are custom models.

You can make a great Jay Sherman  The clothing is very restricted, because Reebok. The game play is refined, but fighting more or less feels the same. The AI still has no answer to spamming muay thai clinch knees. The Ultimate Team mode is a money sink. If you played the mobile game with the hook of opening packs for moves and upgrades, it is a lot like that.

Apparently locking the Godwinns down to a long deal was more important than signing The Rock when he appeared in the database, or scooping up Steve Austin Yeah, workers seem like they don't get signed due to either a lack of popularity, or being way too popular to sign. I would imagine the Rock debuts with 0 popularity, so no one other than a human player would grab him. The "I'm too popular for your fed ha ha" thing makes little sense too. I've not been able to sign those types of wrestlers even if I break the bank. Wrestlers in real life take high paying independent opportunities all the time. Also it seems like the same bunch of wrestlers get signed to PPA appearances for a whole bunch of promotions at one time. Because of conflicts some of these promotions end up not using these guys, and on top of that you get these news stories about these guys needing a break. At least in the editor you can edit their contracts to let them have 1 day left if they end up taking a roster spot despite the lack of use. Too bad you can't actually add contracts to give these free agents something to do. Perhaps editing the access save file itself is the answer?

A thing about game development is that unless you have a really good team with a lot of time and resources, any AI you program is either going to be too smart or too stupid. It's hard to make an opponent that does most things right but makes just enough mistakes to be beatable. TEW is a pretty deep grog game but it's made by about 8 people total (assuming all listed in the credits programmed) and it is, literally, a collection of forms and views made in Microsoft Access. The calculations involved must be pretty complex but the game is, for all intents and purposes, a calculator. Rival feds are algorithms that compare data points (workers, regional info, etc) against their set parameters (the fed's product and the booker / owner stats). They probably won't surprise you that often. The game's not terribly well balanced but what else are you going to do? Even a clearly dying irl fed like TNA basically cannot fail in TEW given the fact that they have TV deals and the game doesn't allow for workers who are well-known but not actually draws. If you really want to get a challenge out of TEW or any spreadsheet game, you've got to introduce randomness. Crank up injury and death frequencies and turn on all possible complicating factors (economy effects, product trends, etc).

My big problem with TEW games was I'd end up playing God TOO much to even enjoy the game. I need to be a spectator and a creator at the same time to have fun with a wrestling game. I am much happier getting saves for Fire Pro Returns and keeping track of wins and losses in a spreadsheet and just sim the matches at whatever speed I'm feeling and record the results. It's fun, I don't have to worry about workers getting a low grade, or losing overness or gimmicks, etc. I just get to enjoy dream wrestling matches in a video game. I am really hoping the rumors of a new Fire Pro for the new Nintendo hand held aren't just rumors.

I desperately want a new Fire Pro, too, but sadly the guy who "broke" it was the Pro Wrestling X guy, and according to several of the older/most respected members of the Fire Pro community, it isn't the first time he's done this. Signs point to it being a hoax, but I'm totally down with being wrong.

Ryland is doing his "Developer's Journal" for TEW16 where he reveals a new feature for the game every day. First two features were a huge request and a small functional change to save time, which is usually the balance of these things. The big one is the introduction of alliance titles that can be defended across multiple companies and the small thing the ability to save contract "templates" so you can have standard contracts you offer to people without having to always set the same thing. He posts a new one every day. http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?t=532912

Those are both cool things. I always burn out on TEW so fast. Maybe I should play as an indie instead of WWE as trying to both fill all that time and book everybody are somehow both impossible for me. Just do one show a month or something. I'm always interested to hear everyone's stories but I just can't seem to get hooked. E: actually it looks like I played EWR which is an older version of TEW I think? Whichever the free one is. projecthalaxy fucked around with this message at 22:59 on Feb 2, 2016 |

On tew 2013 i just setup a fed in Australia one or two shows a month and I was familiar with the default roster for there so i knew who to sign and just had a blast.

I feel like Netherrealm and Volition are the only studios that would really grok LU, and Pentagon showed up at a Mortal Kombat X thing in costume so it would appear NRS and El Rey already have some kind of relationship. v  vAlso, if you're burning out on TEW, try one of the goofy-rear end fictional mods like 9000verse. I'm in a game on that one where I'm running ECW as Notch, and it's been pretty fun so far; the main storyline I've been running has been between Spawn and Judge Death for the ECW World Heavyweight Championship, and I had War Machine get involved on Spawn's side, prompting announcer/authority figure Spider Jerusalem to inform the two that they're gonna have to duke it out to decide which one will get the title shot. They have a Tennessee Street Fight, and it's a 64-percent match with "good heat and good in-ring action." Post-match, I run an angle where Spawn goes over to shake War Machine's hand. The crowd goes loving wild, and suddenly TEW is actually a drat fun game. WeedlordGoku69 fucked around with this message at 23:17 on Feb 2, 2016 |

Yeah I might try it again, either with the current or some historical roster pack, sign myself 10-12 guys, give myself a bunch of cash, and just start a little local fed instead of trying to deal with sponsors and cable deals and all. And hey, if I play like 1985 or so maybe I can organically become a big deal like Memphis or AWA!

TEW came around because Ryland actually wanted to make money from the games and figured that starting fresh with a fictional database would have helped avoid confusion instead of releasing a new Extreme Warfare where they would have expected a real world database.

Is EWWarehouse the best place to get EWR stuff? Like they have a January 1985 mod on there I think I'd like to play, is there another more recommended mod pack for running your own territory? E: Started a game as a Small indie in 1985: had this as my first show, with my whole roster featured:  Bottom two matches are for tag and world titles. As I predicted, not having 4 shows a week to do is nice. projecthalaxy fucked around with this message at 02:09 on Feb 3, 2016 |
