jaedmc Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 So we don't bog down the WWE 2k Nerds. I love this game. Between this and Fire Pro I don't really need another Wrestling game to scratch any of my creative rasslin' itches. I love playing historical mods as opposed to current day. Anytime I play modern I usually book through a year or less and feel satisfied and less inspired to keep going. I also love doing weird shit to play with the game worlds that don't really benefit me. Like in the 94 mod, I had Warrior come back and AI Vince decided to give him a FAT contract, and remove Bret as "Face of the Company" and replace him with fucking Warrior. Warrior preceeded to wrestle like twice over the next year. Hilarious. I ALWAYS book Yokozuna as a Hawaiian Kingpin character named King Kokina. And my favorite build was having decimate the mid 90's WCW roster and only Ron Simmons could stop him. Good times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Man Known as Dan Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 My favorite mods for TEW are either 1980s style historical or Cornellverse stuff. I would also love a really good 2002-2003 mod some time soon. To try to book RoH in its heyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I had a 2001 roster where I ran a save where Shane/Linda actually DID buy and run WCW as a seperate entity, retaining it's roster at death and allowing a couple alumns on the WWF roster to jump over. I ended up slow building the entire promotion around AJ Styles by 2003 and was rocking and rolling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 My big EWR thing was making up my own promotion, positioning it to be bigger than ECW but smaller than the big two, then running it against WWE and WCW. I think my favourite all-time EWR angle was the time I was running my own company, and we eventually signed Vader. We debuted him by running a mystery challenger for the world title angle, then Vader rolls up in a limo, walks out to the ring, and wins the world title in his debut off the top babyface. Then the next few months were about the chase to see who would beat big bad Vader at Fake Promotion Wrestlemania, as he just beats everyone in the company and basically goes undefeated for a few months. Knocking down every challenger until naturally the top babyface takes the title off him as part of our biggest moneymaking feud. Then the next TV show Vader crashes his title celebration and just absolutely murders him, getting himself suspended, which sets up the rest of the series. That whole angle was what propelled us into the BIG TIME. Shit was great. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I'm going through the dev diary again my God are the changes far more expansive and incredible than I remember. I'm blown away by how much has been rewritten and how big some of the changes could be. Love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirFozzie Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 I'm just waiting for the first DVDVR sleazy indie promotion game here. (no, seriously, AEW/NXT, etcetera in the next gen TEW woill be good) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SorceressKnight Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 EWR might be my biggest hobby.Whatever mod, whatever promotion- you name it, i've done it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Weak Machine Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 (edited) My favorite run was booking AWA in Death of the Territories. Mid-Atlantic neglected to re-sign Flair, so he and Hogan became my top two. Hogan was the #1 face, and I put Flair with Bock under Heenan as the "Brain Trust" as my lead heels. I also had Jumbo, Hansen, Martel, a rising Curt Hennig, a slew of promising newcomers like Leon White and Scott Hall, and I even took a chance on some young Japanese dude named Takada.

JonnyLaw Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 This thread motivated me to finally install EWR on my Mac via wineskin, along with a current database. AEW was booted off TNT during their first month and fell to cult status in their third month. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonnyLaw Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 I downloaded mine from majorgeeks.com, and the scenario from ewbattleground. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 EWB is a really good resource for current, monthly stat updates and the like (and a good forum to boot). Some guys there are working on TEW/EWR scenarios too, like a Marvel one and a very detailed TEW16 2002 scenario. Home of Pro Wrestling has mods/scenarios/utilities/picture packs/etc for every TEW game, EWR, Promotion Wars, WMMA and some other games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyLaw Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Update: After getting dropped to Cult status, I turned things around with AEW and got them to Global level within the year. The title feuds between Kenny Omega and Matt Riddle and Asuka and Io were big hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirFozzie Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Once TEW2020 comes out, we need to do a Booking Committee run 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing is can we all agree on a time frame and company. But overall I’d love that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirFozzie Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Ok, serious questions on that A) Should we do it in TEW2016 (the current version), or wait for 2020 B) Real Life Mod (either modern or classic), or CornellVerse B Part 2) What company C) One person making final decisions, or shared file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Man Known as Dan Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 (edited) A: I’m good for either. B: I’d lean Cornellverse but I’m biased since I know the C’Verse like the back of my hand. That said, I know there’s the some early 80s one. Maybe on were we try to keep the AWA running and trying to grow? c) Either works for me.

I want you to know I've ripped off this idea in my Japan fed in WWE 2K19. I changed the Yokozuna attire to be purple and gold and used Regal's extravagant purple and gold robe for his entrance attire. He's backed up by the Faces of Fear as bodyguards with Umaga acting as the stable's savage pitbull As an aside, that game is a black void where my time disappears doing nothing of note ("Oh, I just need to tweak this arena", "oh, I just need to change some moves" etc). My missus just sits next to me glaring for three hours haha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 They've done a great job of getting a shit tonne of info on single windows. The main pain in the ass right now is, at least for now, the scroll wheel has been disabled for going through lists. WAI? Other than that, it looks great! Love the comparison features.

Jiji Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 To get old school list interactions with the wheel and arrow keys go into options and your preferences. Deselect "enable new-style coloured lists" and you're good to go. You miss out on the little blue button highlighting your current selection and names of champions in roster screens being highlighted in yellow and injured roster members in red (Adam confirmed this). If it's just that I'm sacrificing for sweet, sweet mouse scrolling then I will pay that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
