Session Wrestling Career Mode- Live!
A fully simulated journey into the world of elite session wrestling.
Let me know your thoughts on this. I created a game (similar to fifa career mode), for Session Wrestlers. Keen for feedback/any features + additions you think there should be. Still working through a couple of developments such as cut scenes where the selected fighter talks to the media etc, but the mechanics are all working which is great.
Been a long project. I will probably create a seperate reddit page so I don’t spam this one for those interested. Let me know if there are any components of the game you’d like to know more about too! Sort of just dumped what is top of mind below.
As the Trailer outlines, I created 128 Session Wrestlers, all with unique fighter profiles pertaining to their real life attributes. (Ie. Sheena has high Power & Strength ratings & Veve Lane has high technical ratings). All have different growth potentials wired in- ie. Bagheera & Goth Delilah can develop immensely high where as a Lia Labowe has limited growth potential due to her age.
Aspects that influence match day range from the following ‘pillars’- overall ratings, tactics chosen, your fighters stamina, morale, sharpness, whether they have home advantage, injuries etc, all weighted in but to the extent where it is primarily driven by overall rating to keep realism, so you won’t get a Sativa losing too often to Orsi b.
You make decisions throughout the week including if you want to train bjj, session with fans, recover or have a night out- all of which impacts your ‘pillars.
Other features include Life events popping up which you make decisions on, choose how you respond to the media, you have investments, opportunities to bet on matches with major payouts. You chose your venue- you can cheap out for a little attic or gym but as your fan base grows you will want larger stadiums.. if you can afford it! Adjust ticket prices, session prices etc. Purchase medical insurance to safe on costly surgeries if you get injured. A whole lot of features wired in.
Trophies- There are 6 different regions, both have a Premier League with 12 fighters and a League below it with 10, promotion/relegation applies- bottom 2 in the premier league get relegated and top two in championship get promoted.
-Premier League Title- finish 1st in the league.
-SW Belt- Session Wrestling Belt, a seperate knockout completion involving all 128 fighters (just straight knockouts) played on Wednesdays
-Champions league -which only top 5 placed fighters qualify for. Groups then knockouts all the way to the final- home and away legs, submissions scored away from home count for more. Big money for the winners
-Shield- can only be won off the holder if they are playing at home, whoever has the shield at the end of the season keeps it.
-Major premiership- top 5 go into a knockout for this trophy
-The ashes- one off international 5vs5 match at the end of the season you could get selected for between England vs USA dedicated to two greats no longer with us- Amadahy & Amethyst
Match day is a sim where you have live commentary, visual dominance graphs showing you which way the fight is going and you can adjust your tactics in game. You get a pre match scouting report- the quality depends on how much you pay for the scout and a post match analysis screen.
The fighters were roughly placed in regions where they are actually based- however some of this information was hard to find so some may not be correct.
Good thing is that you can see all the fixtures, results and tables in other leagues so you can track how other fighters are going etc.
