raspymorten Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 I'm hyped! We desperately need more 1989 representation in the modding scene. It suuuucked that we never got a proper 89 mod for 2016. Here's hoping this goes great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonestarDC Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 I am so excited for this. I am currently playing a 1990 mod but it is right at the end of my wheelhouse and 1989 is right up my alley. Please let me know if there is any way to help with this and to get the ball rolling! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makkaveli101 Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 For accurate NWA and WWF rosters from January 1989 the best site to visit is http://www.solie.org/roster.html An excellent resource for accuracy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnal881 Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Royal Rumble 1989 was the first time when I saw american wrestling. Good times and remembers to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snakebite180 Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Your churning these mods out at a fast rate! My concern is that when you post these incomplete mods, it puts other people off making a mod for that year as they think 'oh Gaz has made that mod'.... within a few months you'll be the only mod maker on the forum with all them lovely rounded stats.

KeyserSoze Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 How popular was wrestling in Europe in the late 80s? Mmm hard to say and even harder to model in the game. In my school, it was very popular, but it is not representative..:D:D. In Spain from 90-94 it has a afternoon slot in a big free channel (Italy, Germany, Portugal I believe). In the 91 the WWF packed 19.000 in Barcelona and in 1993 a house show tour in Europe get crowds from 5.000-10.000. The best way to simulate IMHO is zero popularity over Europe for all the companies but a contract WWF-Telecinco ( Afternoon; Medium or Big Coverage), for 4-5 years. It should be hard to renew (something like 40´s or 50´s of pop). It should be possible to renew the contract or let it die (like it happened). But anyway it should be a secondary front in the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimmas Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 That AJW ranking seems waaaay too low. Chigusa was probably the most popular wrestler in Japan. The ratings for their shows were unreal. They sold out Korakuen Hall constantly and drew 12,500 for a show in May when Chigusa retired. The wrestling quality is unreal too, which I can't tell if you rated high until I see the mod.

Sorry I should have said, iv only done the contracts so far, I still need to do the skills and popularity among other things, there's still a massive amount of work to be done be this is playable.

gazwefc83 Posted January 27, 2021 Author Share Posted January 27, 2021 Okay, cool! Sorry, I am just sooo used to mod makers down playing women and lucha that it didn't seem out of the realm of possibility someone would make AJPW double the size of AJW in terms of popularity, even if it's wrong. No probs bud, Not sure how im going to scale popularity yet, I'm thinking of going by the attendance of the previous shows and try and come up with a forumla, open to suggestions.

Yeah it's one of the most difficult tasks in a mod. Attendance the year before and year after is a good metric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'm happy now with company popularity, I did some testing to work out what attendance could be drawn in each area based on a popularity value and scaled each company from there. It's its not going to give perfect attendances but at least I know know, everything is balanced. Just got to complete the rosters now for the remaining companies, work on worker skills and popularity, add title lineages and worker attributes, add events and I might be close to a playable mod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
