TNM7 is still the definitive fantasy booking game :colbert:

I don't really have the patience for its interface anymore, but the match engine threw up so many funny and stupid moments. Two guys with max momentum just hitting finishers on each other and kicking out for twenty minutes, squash matches that were literally two lines long, people going missing during battle royals only to show up at the end and win. Amazing game.

A modern version of TNM would be a hell of a thing.

I've been simming Fire Pro R lately, and I have a pack full of anally-complete rosters, including enhancement talent which I LOVE. I've always had a thing for mid 90s WWF, HeAT, WWF Metal, Velocity and etc and thought i'd make some vids with some dumb match ups.

Exactly! I have a good Spark plug holly v Hunter Hearst Helmsley coming up. The stars that could of been.

Let me know of any matches you'd like to see and I can make it so. I can go as low as TL Hopper and The Goon so most suggestions will be possible i'd imagine. I even have a third save with specialities such as Gobledigooker.
Ooooh! Let's see Tiger Ali Singh v Mabel

The CPL busts open Hercules in the first 30 seconds!

Big blade job from Hercules in the first minute. Surprising amount of grappling and submission wrestling considering who was involved. Hercules no-sold a piledriver and hit a weak powerslam for the win. ***

Edit: In TEW, does anyone else tweak the product ratings when you're a smaller company to favour workrate more than popularity? I feel like it's the only fair way to get decent ratings, otherwise people want superstars that you just can't get.

I try to do it for any size of a company!

Would anyone be interested in a wrestling life sim? You're a wrestler and you try to get booked, but instead of focusing on actual wrestling gameplay it's more about the hand to mouth life style.

basically one of those Positech games like Kudos, except for a wrestler? That sounds like the exact kind of garbage I would love

Can you import themes through the game? I remember hubub about the consoles not supporting custom music so the game wouldn't either, but obviously PCs wouldn't have that issue.

It suffers from ridiculous slowdown on my machine. I have a GTX670 which still performs really well in benchmarks, but it's a couple of years old now at least so maybe it's not good enough?

Depends on how they are faring in the story really. If the guy going over is still at Fairly Poor before the blowoff I let it run through. Otherwise I end it beforehand.

How do you book storylines to have the guy you want to win end up at Fairly Poor? Just have him get the poo poo beat out of him every week with no comeuppance?

I can't help but laugh when the WWE 2K15 commentary goes off on tangents about stuff happening years ago.

King is REALLY CONCERNED that everyone knows that Dolph does stand up comedy in his spare time. He brought it up like 3 times in one match. And who could forget the incredible Ziggler vs Daniel Bryan match from Bragging Rights 2010??

But did he execute his move with force... and veloca-tee?

The AI loving loving Animal is the best. I can't imagine anything topping Jeff Jarrett over the Rock at Mania, but the last Mania in my game did involve the WWF World Championship going undefended on the card.



JYD is the champ and has been a consistent midcard presence while Hogan and Flair work in the main event above him.
