D16NJD16 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 I noticed that there are two different 1985 mods from two different users within a year or so of each other. Can anyone give some feedback on what the differences are, and which is best? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munit Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Is it the super fly effect one? I'm not near my computer but if so the superfly one starts off with snuka breaking Hogan neck due to lack of push and has Hogan out for a min while Snuka is fired and in some other company Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnal881 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 The October 1985 Mod is a good option if you wabt to run JCP cause you are on way to Starrcade Flair vs Rhodes. The Risky Business Mod , starts on January 1985 is better if you want to play with WWF cause yiu are in the Rock & Wrestling connection set up and on the way to Wrestlemania I.

Are these essentially the same base mod with different start dates then? That's what I was wondering. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D16NJD16 Posted December 17, 2019 Author Share Posted December 17, 2019 Take a sneak peak in the databases and select the one you prefer based on the content. Personally I really like such things as number of workers, broadcasters, broadcaster deals, narratives and dojo graduates. So I know which one I would choose if I did run a 85 save. Thanks for this. Btw which Risky Business are you running? My version has considerably less amounts in various categories, like narratives, wrestlers, alter ego's etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigpapa42 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 I bashed around on Risky Business with the WWF and quite enjoyed it. I didn't go as long with the save as I hoped to, because I couldn't apply any level of restraint to signing future stars and hightlighting Hogan to the degree I did gets old. When it comes to mods, my technique is always to run a watch sim for about a year. That way, I can see what the AI manages to do with a given company and how it grades. I know I can book better than the AI by a grade or two, so it sets a baseline expectation for me and lets me see how the mod simulates.

BasicThuganomics Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 I went 31 years with Risky Business and it was a blast. I can't recommend that mod enough, it's stunning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D16NJD16 Posted December 18, 2019 Author Share Posted December 18, 2019 I love the "rounded" stats in Risky Business Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D16NJD16 Posted December 18, 2019 Author Share Posted December 18, 2019 It's 4.0. Probably downloaded it from HoPW. I went there and all I could find was Risky Business Beta or 1.0 Any idea where to get this mythical 4.0? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnal881 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 I play with the version 4.0 This is the database http://www.mediafire.com/file/jqseddb11weyp66/TEW2016.mdb/file Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D16NJD16 Posted December 18, 2019 Author Share Posted December 18, 2019 Pretty sure Risky Business Beta is v4.0 Why is it called Beta then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tardelli Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Maybe because its constantly worked on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D16NJD16 Posted December 19, 2019 Author Share Posted December 19, 2019 Maybe because its constantly worked on. Yeah but this thing is as complete as any other mod I've played from my experience with it so far. Definitely an official release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smartman Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Why is it called Beta then? This was a converted database from 13. Matt Shannon got burned out from modding before finishing everything while getting swallowed up with the Mod Squad. So, it never got done, but I'm pretty sure it was mostly just conversion stuff. Thus the beta tag. The other 1985 mod was done by TSUMirren and is basically Genadi's 1987 Golden Age mod rolled back to October 1985 with people put back where they were then which led to some odd pop levels for some people who blew up in those 18 months (that starts in March of 1987) and face/heel stuff not set properly. It's still a blast because the stats are based on a rock-solid mod with Britain fleshed out more as that's part of what he did for the Mod Squad. Both are very enjoyable mods. Just note with the October one that as with any Mod Squad mod, you better go through and check the retirement ages as they capped a bunch of them to historical dates. Not a lot of fun to play as JCP and lose Magnum TA in December. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RingRider Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Why is it called Beta then? As I recall, (Matt Shannon would need to clear up best), the 4.0 is actually the version of 2013 that Matt was updating to 2016. He took it to beta (never changing the version name) and left it as was. While certainly playable because the base was off the charts, I'm not sure Matt felt he really finished tuning it up for 2016. He was working on a pretty succinct mod of historic locations and planned on coming back to RB. Matt hasn't been active lately as he has in the past, but I'm sure he'll be popping up as 2020 comes out. He's a really good dude who's done some great things on GDS.

Big Mikey Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 I was checking out risky business and Matt has s many yet to debut workers as well. May have to pick this game up again and maybe set worker potential to random this time. This way all the darlings won't be guarantees.
