Did a G1 - Harley Race actually topped Group B, as game doesn't show final table properly.

Scenario Editor Overhaul

With improvements in UI, functionality and speed, the new scenario editor should make scenario creation and editing a breeze!

New Features

New two column UI for scenario editor with easy navigation and search.
Fast loading and editing of items in scenarios, even on mobile.
Move superstars/teams/championships between companies.
Duplicate your scenarios.
Change primary company in scenarios.
Changes Made sections shows everything that you've changed.
Scenario changes should show up under New Game instantly.
Can add streaks and match contracts to competitors.
Can change scenario and scenario edit names.
Default gimmick matches are added for new companies/scenarios so you can edit them right away.
Training roster superstars can now be injured, retired and hall of famers.

If you haven't delved into scenario creation, I hope you give it a chance now and see how easy it is.

I'd also like to say that I'm currently working on a scenario that starts on January the 1st, 2000. The day of Y2K. It's a WIP rn but with this update, I might get it out sooner than later

Still actively working on it but here's a scenario I've made.

In other news, I'm 2 months late but the next update is


Annual Tournament

A special, yearly tournament where talent from all companies and the indies participate.
You can select superstars to send or decline to attend.
The results of the tournament are simulated. You'll be able to go through each match.
The winner gets a unique trophy and top participants get popularity/overness boosts.
Winning the tournament can unlock artifacts and award creative points.

Small Improvements
I've been dealing with some common complaints and requests. Here you go!

More buyouts!
Buyouts are available more often (if fans reach < 1% of market size, or reputation drops 5 levels or more and fans reach < 10%).
Company REP has limits so that it can more easily drop from 10.
Buyout cost has been increased.
Buyouts can now be done for AI companies in local multiplayer.
User improvements
Deleting saves longer than 2 years should require a double confirm and show a warning, so you shouldn't delete them accidentally.
If you have two accounts with the same email, you should get a notification upon login. This way you don't feel like your account was lost if you login via the other method.
No more silly names
Companies don't use the Recruitment artifact if 'generate random superstars' setting is turned off.
Silly names have been removed for generated talent (e.g "Evil P").
Other
Match rating boosts (match contracts, streaks, event effects etc) have been reduced to a max of 1 star each i.e no more 37 star matches :(
View roster page should show a superstar's teams and factions.
Allow debut segments for buyout superstars and tag team signings.
Number of news items have been increased so low rep companies should be represented too.
Wrestler of the Year accounts for number of matches, so you shouldn't see someone with only a few matches win.

Been playin' a bit lately. It is so much better than it was two years ago. I'm just lookin' for a really accurate modern day WWE mod. I tried the highest rated one but that person clearly had favorites he put higher. Blaine, got any suggestions?

Sadly, I don't think there's any. The modern scenarios are dominated by that one guy, so you sadly have to kind of deal with it. There's a scenario called The World of Wrestling Today, but the creator chose to stop doing updates and made the version it stopped at the final version. It's a bit further back than modern, but it's your second best shot

I think I'd prefer that one with overall updates JOW has made. I don't care if the actual mod is a bit out of date. Thanks, Blaine, I'll give that one a shot.
