Genadi Posted December 30, 2008 Posted December 30, 2008 Which year would you guys like to see most? These are the ones we're thinking of doing at the moment.... 1999 2002 ( Day after or before draft) or 2004
BurningHamster Posted December 30, 2008 Posted December 30, 2008 I think most people would prefer a good 2002 mod. Personally I would like to see one before the draft. 2002 has the advantage that this was a time when the WWF was setting up it's draft and brands, NWATNA and RoH were all getting off the ground which makes for a really interesting time in wrestling. Also if you want to make a smaller mod, 2002 would be the year because I think most people would be focusing on WWE/TNA and RoH. (although I would like to see Toryumon included too). That said, I am a little torn ... 1999 would be good because it was the Attitude Era, ECW and WCW still in business, internationally FMW was still around etc. Though I am perhaps not as interested in 99. 2004 off the top of my head sounds boring, but then I think back and realize how the indy scene was pretty good around this time, Pro Wrestling Guerilla were taking off, RoH had built up a decent fanbase and was putting on some awesome matches. There are advantages to all three mod ideas, but I expect 2002 to be a popular choice.
Genadi Posted December 30, 2008 Author Posted December 30, 2008 ....There are advantages to all three mod ideas, but I expect 2002 to be a popular choice. Great feedback Hamster thanks. Raised some points we haven't even thought of yet. Leaning towards using the MA data as a base so '99 would be easier but that won't sway us one way or the other.
wilts Posted December 30, 2008 Posted December 30, 2008 Personally I would love to have a 2002 mod, set the day before the draft. Many people would love the challenge of taking TNA from a small startup, and ROH, or to get the brand split right. There is the MA mod, Burning Hamsters mod and I recall another 95 or 96 mod being in the works, and to be honest, not much had changed from this time to 99. So, I would personally prefer something a little different, something that we don't already have. Hope this makes sense. Cheers
The Shape Posted December 30, 2008 Posted December 30, 2008 02 or 04 for sure...the draft potential makes 02 better all around I think.
The Stallion Posted December 30, 2008 Posted December 30, 2008 Man 2002 would be a great year for a number of reasons. You could fix everything you thought was wrong with the WWE Draft, you could take TNA and bring them up the right way or you could try and use the GREAT talent in ROH to make them the #1 in the US. By far the best of the best is 2002.
sebsplex Posted December 30, 2008 Posted December 30, 2008 2002 prior the draft would be my preference. It was basically the WWE taking it's first real steps following the end of the Attitude era and the poorly put-together Invasion fiasco, so a great stepping on point. A 1999 mod would be my second choice.
K-Federation Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 1999. I've always wanted to book WCW into the new millenium.
ash1983 Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 Has anyone actually considered doing a mod with more MMA guys in? I love that there are some MMA guys in TEW but not many and especially not the more famous names. We've got the fights available on the match list and am sure some guys could set up like UFC,K-1,PRIDE or the newly renamed DREAM for example. Plus there are interviews,hypes and video angle potential for the promotions. I know there is the MMA game but the thought of picking UFC to try to beat WWE permanently and pinch some talent
Wade Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 I would do horrible, unforgiveable things for a good 2002 mod. And, having more MMA guys would be nice, too, but I imagine it'd be tough to figure out stats for them.
Genadi Posted January 4, 2009 Author Posted January 4, 2009 PM votes included 2002 seems to be the favourite, not to mention we all want to see just what Wade will do on release
DeadCeleb Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 Dude, I'm in love with the 96 mod, but I would definitely play a 2002 prior to the draft. I'd love to see if I could possibly kill off TNA before they even get started, haha.

I dont doubt that the stats would be difficult or interesting but it would be an intriguing kind of project to see what one of the mod guys could fashion first time round
sprinklefurball Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 2002 or 1999 I'd rather have 2002, but 1999 would be more likely to be finished, as 2002 is cursed for some reason.
shamelessposer Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 2002 seems perfect as a setup for a TEW mod because of all the great alt-history that's possible. A player could change the draft, not do the draft, start up either TNA or ROH...
Telfie Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 If I can add one more vote... 1999 would be my first preferance. You have Rock and Austin at their peak. Then there's Triple H on his way up, Mankind, Taker, Kane, DX, McMahon and everything was just awesome. 2002 would be my next preferance, BEFORE THE DRAFT. I have not a lot of interest in booking the brand split if I can avoid it.
Wade Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 PM votes included 2002 seems to be the favourite, not to mention we all want to see just what Wade will do on release Put out your usual good work and you'll see
Genadi Posted January 4, 2009 Author Posted January 4, 2009 Work is well under way on 2002 and I can tell you now it will definitely be released. We've lost a few of the team it looks though so we're recruiting a few testers and one pic cutter. Help in these areas will be much appreciated and ensure the mod hits even sooner. PM me if you're interested, the pic cutter won't have to do much but there are a few pics we really want (set for the time) to coincide with release.
The Stallion Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 2002! OUtstanding! I cant wait for this one!
