Does anyone else who makes edits in Fire Pro really struggle to make good looking outfits with some complexity to them without just looking like a random riot of colors and decals? It has lead to most of my existing edits having pretty simplistic outfits. Not necessarily a bad thing I guess, especially since I was originally aiming for a slightly faux-80s feel. But its starting to feel frustrating.

Haven't really tried using the new DLC parts though.



I'm definitely still learning. A lot of it is sort of tricks- just because a part says it's "jacket" doesn't mean you can't use it to represent something else, that sort of thing.

It really is an art from. The best way I've figured out how to learn is to take interesting looking edits apart in the editor to see how they did things. Another trick knowing how much 'business' you can get away with if you properly color coordinate.

Yeah, the best but most irritating way I've found is negatively combining patterns--finding pieces you can apply and blend into the color of the piece of clothing they're on to break up other patterns and make them appear more complex. Making MMA fight shorts look right is a bitch this way.

Apparently 2K19 removed elimination modifiers from multi person matches. You can still do survivor series style matches but no 3 or 4 way elimination matches. 2 steps forward, 1 step back...

Like, why? Why would they remove something like that? It would take a willful act to remove something like that from one game to the next. What is the purpose?

Also I wrote like 2k words on wwe 2k's reversal system today and I don't know what to do with it.

Yeah there’s nothing wrong with that kind of approach, if everyone looks good and you can tell them apart. Do the more complex stuff when you think someone needs it or when you have a really clear idea.

So apparently multiple run-ins can occur in the same match in Fire Pro. I was doing some edit testing and had one of my guys do a run in (in his slot 4 former entrance attire even) and stylishly did a Okite Yaburi move steal on my new guy. A short time later another person did a run-in to assist the poor guy, so it was briefly a 2v2 brawl.

That entrance attire is one of the outfits I'm proud of, tried to make it look like a long coat, kinda successful?

I rushed through the story mode of FPW as part of the Main Unit, and I can confirm a few things:

Length of game: About 60 chapters or so counting training, basically until Wrestle Kingdom 12

Post-game options: You can skip the initial training to be an NJPW wrestler and start in the main story in any of the factions: Main Unit, LIJ, Chaos, Suzuki-Gun. There's also an option to select how popular your wrestler is when you join, which I think determines what stories you get as the game goes on, probably.

I would enjoy the sheer pettiness if the 'indy geeks' were thinly veiled, Fire Pro-style knockoffs of big-name indy talent.

Also if there was a guy with the last name "Rhodes", since apparently WWE owns the rights to that name.

In Fire Pro News, I've managed to successfully fix the minor, but irritating issues my modded copy was having. So now it's like the mod-breaking elements of the DLC never happened!

Fake JR podcast as in they got JR to record some podcast conversations about your character?

I think that's a thing that other 2K or EA games have done, I recall some using actual ESPN sets and personalities.

No, as in there's a fake podcast about your character by a fake commentator that is obviously supposed to be JR. I assume they didn't want to pay for the Ross Report name or pay JR to do the audio if he's not doing commentary for the rest of the game?
