[RELEASE] - 1985 Real World


Recommended Posts

Found a few more things that need to be tweaked.

 

There's a duplicate Bill Mercer in the game named Jay London (search the US for good Mic workers or announcers). Same bio and pic.

 

Jake Roberts is pretty much peak Snake, likely a little higher than he was coming out of WM3. He instantly pushed to my top face in JCP and is earning a couple thousand less than Flair when he's barely been pushed as a top guy at this point.

 

Sting is also way too good stat-wise, which is likely the first time I've ever said that about him in any mod. He should be a prime developmental signee if you go that route, or just leave him in CWA and wherever else he gets signed to boost his stats. Not sure about Owen Hart's stats either as he was always viewed as kind of a prodigy.

 

Sadly, Roberts and Magnum didn't get a lucky roll on tag chemistry as The Mustache Bros would have been an amazing team. Probably still going to run with that down the line as it's just neutral chemistry.

Cheers, I think I've picked up some of that whilst tweaking though I'll check all. Not sure when V 1.1 will be released, need a weekend to really dig in at some point.

I'm going to assume you found this one and fixed it, but you might have overlooked it. For some reason, Jesse Ventura's contract locks him into a wrestler-only role. Did you accidentally set it that way trying for locking him to only out-of-the-ring roles? Lord knows I misclick things all the time in the game. Not sure if it would affect anything if you play as WWF, but I found that out when I went in as Vince to up Superstars to 2 hours. Btw, that sort of fixed WWF's show ratings as that gave them a male semi-main instead of having just two matches with the semi-main being a women's match. Their huge main event roster means the AI can still put on stinkers, but there's not much you can do on that. Really wish Adam would change the auto-push to push down instead of up so you'd have 5 or 6 main eventers like WWF did back then.

<p>I've come up with a list of the fixes that need to be made for the title lineages.</p><p>

Some are lineages that go past the start date, while others are the current champions having a title lineage and being listed in title history. If you need these let me know and I'll put up the list of what I've found.</p>

I've updated the OP with the links for V1.1. Data is just the old link, whilst there's an additional link for added graphics to save anyone who downloaded V1 from having to download all the graphics again.

 

I think it's time to give some proper play time to Football Manager.

<p>For some reason, Jesse Ventura is still set as an active wrestler with an active wrestler contract (so you have to change both) even though his bio correctly states that he retired in 1984 due to that heart condition. I'm not sure his relevance age should be the time he becomes Minn. governor. </p><p> </p><p>

In the minor quibble territory, were Jake Roberts and Scott Hall really that drugged in 1985? I'm not sure if they'd ever pick those up if they started at 0 though so if that's the reason, that's fine. Maybe at 1?</p><p> </p><p>

It looks like everything else I mentioned got addressed though. Now, time to try a diary run for the 3rd time. Maybe this time Kevin Sullivan won't become booker for TASW so my trios group can work. I have everything mapped out for 9 months so I just need the dominoes to fall correctly.</p>

Ventura wrestled in 85 & 86, so I don't have to change either. I evidently forgot to edit the bio. I'll check Roberts and Hall's drugged upness.

World Wrestling Association's logo is wrong, since it's using the logo of the 2001 Australian promotion World Wrestling All-Stars.

 

Honky Tonk Man's photo doesn't load neither.

 

I'll check my database, see what is coming up. I know I changed Honky's pic, may have forgotten to add to the additional pics zip.

There are still a few titles you might want to take a look at. They still have the current champ in the title history.

AJW Junior

British Heavy Middleweight

AWA World Heavyweight

AWA World Light Heavyweight

AWA World Tag Team

NWA Central States Heavyweight

NWA Central States Tag Team

NWA Central States Television

Super Grade Tag League-Lineage goes to 1985-Tournament doesn't happen till November.

UWA World Trios-Missing Los Brazos reign before current champs

WCWA World Heavyweight-Iceman King Parsons should be champ?

WWC World Junior Heavyweight-Might want to put a vacant in to break up Invader III's title runs

Angel Blanco is set to deceased but didn't die till 1986.

Also want to say thanks for all the work you put into making this. I know it takes a long time to do this, and with so much to do its easy to miss small things.

Haven't really watched a lot of pre-IC Savage, but is he supposed to be set to face? I thought he debuted as a heel...

 

Was that famous angle when he rejected all the managers designed to make him face? Again, thought he was heel with Liz being the face...

Yep, i was thinking on that while i was preparing the feuds in my WWF, Savage is meant to be a heel. Elizabeth should stay face tough.

Would that work with TEW though? I've never had a mixed manager/wrestler combo so I don't know if that would trigger the face/heel thing.

 

I'll keep my Jesse Ventura retired as I'm not sure TEW would actually retire him when you want him to be. Evidently, I'd blocked out his comeback. Also, any A show for WWF has to be 2 hours. You switched Prime Time to an A show and 2 hours, but Superstars was kept at 1 hour. The player can fiddle with that all they want, but in my previous games as noted on here, it kills their ratings as the women's match is the 2nd best match (either the only other match on the card or better than the lower-mid vs lower-mid) on the card. Might need to do that with a lot of feds as a whole lot of mods have Japanese cards of 2 matches. Oh for the return of the match length settings.

 

And alas, Sullivan got picked up as booker for Mid-South this time. :(

From my recollection of my playthroughs in the Golden Age data, a heel wrestler with a face manager or vice versa doesn't trigger a penalty.

Suffice to say I can see your reasoning for the lifestyle choices being ticked, especially now that the potential penalties are tied in to the consistency stat. That has been a great new addition because if the drinking, drugs, etc isn't too high, you won't always incur a penalty. I think I've even had some workers have their lifestyle stats in the teens & it didn't sink my segments &/or matches. So I took the long way to say depending on where you have their lifestyle numbers at (haven't had a chance to look yet), I think it should be fine. Heck, it was the 80s! <img alt=":D" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>
