This x100. No way should Rollins be a 80 in pop... The guys TheWho have rated at A pop is a stretch. Cena should be around 80, not Rollins. Also keep in mind a D+/C- worker depending on personality will work for a small company anything higher they will say that they are too big for the company. So unless you rate all Indy companies at regional (which is too high according to attendance) none of the workers who are popular on the internet will ever sign with those small indy companies. So its not wise to rate guys based on internet popularity (Rollins @ 80) Good job on this can't wait to try it out later this week!

In TEW 2013 touring companies still sign most guys to PPA deals. Mainly only workers who are journey men sign touring contracts.

Thats a great idea! Someone like me would activate them all

Cool many thanks! Im thinking about creating a Mod for TEW 13 called WWE Verse and was wondering if it was ok to use these updates as an potential base.

I feel TNA's pop should be much lower than that I would put them at High Regional/Low Cult (Tri State & SE at D+ Importance) but the the rest of the mod would need adjusting...But thats a different discussion. I don't even think TNA are doing house shows at the moment and they recently announced that their workers can work for other companies now. (hence why there aren't any scheduled house shows)

This is awesome! How hard is it to create something like this? I would love to create an modern day one with PWI featured.

any plans to add Reality Of Wrestling? Also since it seem that this mod is somewhat using the popularity scale from Derek B's mod guide, its a good idea to set the game world to it's default numbers. The default region popularity settings for TEW 2013 are different than the previous TEW's.

yea 60"s for Indy workers are great ratings. C+ in TEW is a great rating so really no need for high stats, the game has many ways for a worker to get a bonus unlike EWR.

So they can have something to grow into. You can barely sign top Indy guys to Dev deals because they are pretty much at their peak at everything. It's believable that top Indy workers (NXT included) in ring skills are on par, close or even better than some TNA/WWE workers but I can't see most Indy guys being able to put a WWE match together from the very start. The very reason they are starting in NXT is to learn how to put on a WWE match and how to cut WWE quality promos. IMO I think even the best Indy guys have room to grow with Basics, Consistency, Safety (especially) and Psychology which should be a rare skill these days. Also don't forget that ratings in the 60's are still considered good in TEW and thats where most of the top NXT/Indy guys should be sitting at with the very best barely cracking 70 (The game shouldn't have that many guys with 80+ Psych anyways, I believe a C+ is good enough to use the call in ring option in a small/regional promotion). ...Same with Mic skills, acting, charisma...No way these guys are just as good as guys who are in front of a camera and thousands of fans weekly. Besides that, since most Indy shows should be graded on Performance (or equally on POP Like ROH) their match grades won't suffer because their top row stats are more important and would be graded on best top row and performance (particularly Pysch). Once they go to WWE/TNA then their POP and Performance skills (particularly Psych) becomes more important than Top Row. I ilke to think of it as (Thanks to one of the guys who worked on the game) Top Row In Ring Skills= Talent Second Row Performance Skills= Mental Also for long term playablity and since most Indy guys aren't that young, I would give these guys some high potential so they will have a higher peak. Plus if a worker has high potential he'll be willing to stay in development longer.

Have you guys thought about nerfing entertainment and performance skills for Indy wrestlers?

It wouldn't make them gain that much popularity if the size is set to tiny. My point is youtube is starting to become a streaming site just like Ustream, Livestream. Its not just a site to uplaod videos anymore. Since sites like Youtube, LiveStream offer stream content that could be purchased. Should all the iPPV carriers in the mod be removed also? "A YouTube paid channel is a channel for which users pay a monthly or yearly subscription fee to watch its videos. As the channel owner, you define one or more offers that set the terms of a subscription. Only paying subscribers can view the channel content, except for specific videos you decide to make available to everyone for free." PROGRESS is a bad example because they uploaded that content for free (which is what the internet option in TEW is) and that is not what I'm debating here. And the sex quality debate is pretty moot since the male wrestlers in the Cverse have sex quality, not high like it is in this mod but male wrestlers in the CVerse hover around 40-60 and with Champagne lover sporting a 80.

On the flip side of things, I don't think the online option was meant to simulate youtube. The online option is an alternative to DVD releases and the said company release videos on thier website for free. Not to mention youtube have paid subscriptions and even live streams now and without that option, youtube will pay you if you reach a certain amount of views on your video/channel. So yea Youtube brings in money unlike the online option. I wouldn't give a current company a youtube network deal but it should be in a modern day mod.

Absolutely not It's not a carrier or network. Its WWE Network

Great work as usual. I was wonder if this was intentional or a mistake but is El Generico (Sami Zayn) suppose to be rated that highly in some of his stats? I was looking through the stats and he ranks high and is comparable to some of the all time greats. He's sporting a lot of 80-90 ratings. Seem odd when most of the guys in the mod with those ratings are legends.

Was wondering if this mod will eventually get converted to TEW 2013?

I would rate them about the same. I wouldn't rate TNA as cult across the US though. Only the Southeast region therefore TNA should run more shows in the UK than WWE. I gave TNA a 50 ( D+ ) across the US and a 60 ( C ) in the South East region to raise them to Cult in TEW 2013. I set their UK popularity to about 50 ( D+ )

Finally was able to load up the save into 2013 although I didn't get to spend much time with it. Something minor but CM Punk's gimmick should be Best In The World. He hasn't been really going for the Straight Edge gimmick since The Summer of Punk. He's been touting Best In The World since he was put in Main Event Status. Also Daniel Bryan has the Best In The World gimmick but his gimmick is more of a underdog/against all odds type of gimmick. At least while he's been a face. So far so good. Oh and I personally raised TNA back to low level Cult. Some of their top guys were signing PPA deals with other Indy promotions.

Nice! I can't wait to load this up. Will give some feedback when I get the chance to play.

Oh yes I know that its meant for Japan and how Japan works. Im not sure about TEW 10 but in 13 you can sign guys as PPA deals or written deals with touring companies and the AI does the same depending if the guy is a free lancer or not. I was looking on cagematch.com and it seem that a lot of Indy promotions went on hiatus for a couple months. The only company that really ran shows consitently was ROH and even they skipped a few months and even ran multiple events in the same month.

Enjoying the mod so far, it converted to TEW 13 without any data errors so that was awesome. I think you still have D Bryan listed as a heel though, but I am not sure since I don't have the game open. One thing I was thinking about doing in my save was to make all the US Indy companies as touring. I figured since they don't run shows every month IRL and when they do run a show they usually run multiple events, I figured it would make sense to give them a touring schedule. Especially with companies like CZW or ROH who has a TV show but in reality its just highlight show and in order for them to replicate that in game they would have to be a touring company with a TV show deal for it to become a highlight show and not a show that you book every week. Just a thought, Not saying you should do the same with this mod.

Nice!

Yea I've seen that gimmick file posted over there, glad to see you implenmenting it. I don't have any feedback suggestions as of now but I will be sure to post some if I can think of any.

wow man, sounds awesome. I appreciate the attention to detail and your hard work!

How's the mod coming along?

Thanks, will check this out!
