I’m surprised they haven’t had a patch to rename half the characters in the game. Preemptive lol if the Kacey Catanazaro dlc has her real name rather the new one.

I do! Dunno how much it's missing compared to PC Empire other than I assume general mod support, but I'm pretty sure it got whatever the recent free roaming mode update was.

So I'm trying out 2k22 again after today's patch and they still haven't fixed the biggest problem with this game, which is if you download more than a handful of CAWs the game just becomes unplayable. Every single menu takes MINUTES to load on an SSD because I can only guess the game is so badly programmed that every single time you go to any menu it has to load every single character model in the game and the more you have the more the engine dies a death. Custom titles still don't work, none of the caws you download have functional portraits.

So basically the game is better than 2k20 but the series' biggest saving grace, the custom content, is still hopelessly broken.

None of these are true for me? Portraits need to be added to downloaded CAWs for some reason, which is stupid, but I can do it without a problem. How many CAWs do you have?

Is there any way to mod the menu music in the Steam version of Empire? I really dislike the rap one.

I haven't found anything related to changing music, I'd change the menu music and the themes already in the game.

The mod from this video only seems to add themes and doesn't change music, and it seems like game updates kind of mess with things.

I think I'm done with Wrestling Empire's career mode. You almost never start a match with full health, and when you get beat down you spend tons of time mashing trying to get up, or mashing trying to get out of holds that can last for 30 real time seconds or longer, and I have to rely on countouts to win because pinning people is hard, and I'm tired of always having to talk to the CEO of whatever company I work for and having him suggest I change a bunch of stupid poo poo. I want to play as Mike Haggar from Final Fight and not change my outfit or moveset ever because it's custom made to yeet people out of the ring.

Booker mode seems like a lot more fun because you can do amazing stupid poo poo and break the game so I'm gonna start that up today.

Anyone playing the NJPW game on iOS (maybe Android too)?

It’s a training simulator with gatcha mechanics. Full of videos and some crazy stuff like building stats by making sweets with Makabe.

The matches are automatically generated by your stats and have full video entrances (I mark out to it) and the moves are all video of your wrestler doing them. Almost has a pachinko feel because you just passively sit there and watch it play out.

Not sure I’d consider it much of a game but it’s unique. Has an English translation so I imagine it’s a worldwide release. Japanese App Store link.

I keep trying to post images but it stalls so I gave up.

I'm a stupid Twitch streamer
Oh there's my account password.

Anyways, been playing a lot of Wrestling Empire on the Switch for the last year and recently transferred that enjoyment over to the Steam version, where I've been doing the cherished tradition of editing rosters to make them friends from Twitch, Discord, Twitter, etc. because I'm just not confident with the 2K series, and I'm not very sure how far along the AEW game is or if it'll even be on Steam.

I would be saying, "go figure, the one time in five years I'm enjoying pro-wrestling again and the videogames aren't as good as they used to be" but that's not at all fair to Fire Pro Wrestling World. I'd do the roster-editing thing there, but... the depth and technicality of it is a bit intimidating.

IT'S LIKE I CAN TOUCH YOU!
I was messing around with it looks like entrances run at 60fps now and they added more graphics options on PC to enable high res textures and such. It seems like they've fixed the bug where custom championships would be entirely black one you load into a match. Creation modes do run a lot smoother now, I think what they really need to do is just have pictures of all the clothing items and only load them if you hit preview instead of having the game constantly trying to load every single model in the game at the same time and choking to death in the process. Same goes for the wrestler selection screens, too. You have jpgs of every wrestler stop forcing this 20-some year old engine to try and load the whole game every time I scroll down a list.

The patch claims they fixed the tag team AI so that the CPU isn't constantly breaking up pins and from what I saw while testing they do far less break ups but they haven't fixed the issue where the partner of the guy getting pinned just never, ever makes it over there in time to stop the pin getting broken when it does happen. Also the CPU never tries taking out their opponents partners before doing a pinfall so tag team matches still take like 10 times longer to finish than singles matches.
It does look like they fixed the referee AI so they're not constantly in the way anymore which is good, I swear the ref was ALWAYS wandering into moves before. I still think they jitter and run around too much but at least they're not blocking me from doing moves now.

They haven't fixed the CAW portrait issue which is when you have have a bunch of CAWs and when you're scrolling through any list of characters they have either have the blank model or they have a completely different characters portrait for some reason. Maybe deleting all my CAWs will fix that? Dunno.

The biggest thing I want for a next patch at this point is finding some way to increase the CAW limit cause 100 caw slots is just not enough at this point. Especially when alternate attires still take up CAW slots. Also they desperately need to add filters or tags or something to create-a-moveset because it's such a nightmare making one. Like if I'm making a character whose mainly doing Grapples that target the Head, you can only filter by Suplex, Slam, Drop, Attack, OR Head. Let me do both! Also let me filter just pin combos and stuff.

So here’s a huge problem with 2k22. If (when) you hit the image download max you can still download new wrestlers but you can’t download any custom logos, which means you may end up with Jay White in plain tights or Malaki Black without tattoos. If you try to use the deletion utility to do a mass removal of any unused content it won’t work properly, but it will delete any custom renders you are using. You need to delete each unwanted wrestler and any custom logos manually.

https://411mania.com/games/details-why-impact-stars-pulled-wrestling-code-2020/

quote:

Impact Wrestling pulled their talent from Virtual Basement’s The Wrestling Code a couple of years ago, and a new report has details on why. You may recall that Impact had Fallah Bahh, Kylie Rae, Rich Swann, and Su Yung removed from the planned roster for the video game in 2020. Bahh has since been added back to the roster after he exited Impact. Fightful Select has some details on what went down that caused the withdrawals.

According to the site, Virtual Basement had some meetings with Impact during which a pitch was made to work on a new Impact Wrestling video game. Anthem Entertainment, who owns Impact, made the decision to pull their contracted talent from The Wrestling Code but wanted the companies to work together on the potential Impact game. The issue is that this would have required Virtual Basement to put their independent game on hold, and the game studio would have also needed to fund the new game. That didn’t end up happening.



loving imagine Impact of all companies trying to big league an independent developer.

So I was trying to find Wrestling Empire mods and apparently all you can is texture stuff. That kinda sucks because all I want is a way to refill my health to max between matches. I hate sleeping and I hate waiting for some random event to let me "sleep" and regain health. Starting matches with like 25% hp is trash and not fun. It takes forever to get up and mashing sucks

It feels like MDickie thinks he's making the true successor to No Mercy, but I think his engine would benefit way more taking from the PS1 Smackdown games. Getting caught in a submission for 30+ seconds at the start of the match, which does barely any damage to your character makes no sense and seemingly happens at random. Struggling to get up from being punched once at full health. It's got a solid control scheme, and I don't mind the way it looks, but I really wish the game was faster and snappier.
I would settle for knowing what MDickie is trying to go for, since I'm not even sure my criticisms track with what he's trying to do.

Fight Forever update from Fightful

News on AEW: Fight Forever

• Kenny Omega has made good use of his time off from the ring and has been helping a lot with the game.
• Roster size sits at around 50 and there will be some unfortunate notable omissions in the first release. For reference, AEW currently has 125 active wrestlers on the roster under full-time contracts, including both male and female talent. DLC has been pitched and discussed but nothing is confirmed as of yet.
• More names mentioned to be expected for the game include Owen Hart, Sting, CM Punk, Bryan Danielson, Adam Cole and Ruby Soho.
• THQ Nordic is involved although minimally.
• There is still lots of polishing needing to be done for the game, especially when it comes to character models and online play.

So going by the names mentioned and the "unfortunate notable omissions" the cut off date for added names seem to be before Jeff Hardy, reDRagon, Keith Lee, maybe no Hook, pretty much any of the ROH guys.

Still 50 is a good roster for a first game if it has a good engine and they can build on it.
