January 2004 Ruthless Aggression TEW 2020 Mod (ABANDONWARE/FREEWARE


Recommended Posts

I'm 4.5 years into a local to global save using this mod and just wanted to say, again, that it's absolutely incredible work. I already loved the TEW2016 version but playing an updated one on TEW2020 has been a blast so far.

 

My only gripe is that there are a bunch of duplicate workers. I should've taken note of them as they debuted but I stupidly didn't. Off the top of my head - Rene Paquette/Renee Young, Athena/Ember Moon and Apoc/Apocalypse spring to mind. Would be great if you could clean this up for others (I've done it on my end as I see the dupes pop up), but otherwise this mod is stellar.

 

Thanks again for all the work put into this :D

 

 

Have you seen anymore dupes?

Just a little progress report, I was in touch with my partner, he ran into life problems so the update on his end has been a bit slow. He's hoping to get it to me by the end of February. I do apologize it has taken so long. That was not my goal. I'm thinking about releasing a minor update today or tomorrow with minor fixes. Nothing noteworthy or game changing. Just Quality of Life things.

<p>Really enjoying this mod. First time I've really been able to sink my teeth in 2020 so thank you for putting a mod out there that feels complete but is still getting continued support.</p><p> </p><p>

Discovered an issue, but not sure if it's the mod or the new product system. Obviously you've set WWE as having the Ruthless Aggression product which is supposed to allow violent matches as long as they aren't deathmatches. Just tried to book Mysterio v Chavo and JBL v Simmons at Mania in Ladder and a Street Fight respectively, but the game won't allow me to book them as the content is too violent/risky for the audience we attract.</p>

I dunno guys, I don’t think anything WWF/E ever did would be called “High Risk”. To me, even their most Hardcore or Last Man Standing type matches would be no more than Medium risk, despite how much they pumped themselves up.

 

High Risk is some of the extreme type stuff ECW and smaller feds do IMHO. Actual Deathmatches and the like.

I agree. The best fix for this would probably be to make multiple match types depending on risk levels. Example:

 

1 vs. 1 Cage match (low risk) - think the old blue bar cage matches during the WWF New Generation/throwaway cage matches on tv

1 vs. 1 Cage match (medium risk) WWE style PPV cage matches that featured some blood

1 vs. 1 Cage match (high risk) The bloodier style cage matches that use more high risk content

 

Something like that, obviously using the actual terms in the good would be a decent workaround to match settings by product and give more freedom in booking

One thing I think should be added down the line is narratives for Goldberg, Lesnar and Rock leaving. I could have signed Goldberg and Lesnar again without any trouble, but I'd rather follow history at this point and put them on hiatus, and Rock being on a ten year contract is extreme when, again, he appeared once in nearly ten years. Just a suggestion for future updates.

 

About to hit Mania XX. Can't wait to see how my roster does, and what surprises the draft the following night throws at me :D

That's fair to say

This really isn't a bad idea to be honest

Let me say this is the best Mod i've ever played. I'm still into my WWE game, now in 2009.

it's amazing.

Oh wow, would be keen to see about your game in the “what’s happening in your game” thread over in the main forum.

 

While you’re there, post your champions in the “who’s your champions” thread too!

In 2006 now post mania. The mod is good but a lot of people are missing. I tried importing people from a different mod but that just led to a lot of trouble with clones.

 

Who would you say are missing? If you imported missing people then they showed up as clones, then they weren't missing...

I still have not received the big update from my partner. When I teamed up with him this wasn't supposed to take half a year to complete. I do apologize to anyone who has been waiting for this update. This was not my intention. From what he's told me is that it'll be great.

Did your partner give you an ETA or even a ballpark estimate for it? I'm itching to start a new game but I've been holding out.
