In a Facebook chat I discussed some mod ideas, although some would perhaps be better if incorporated in the game from the start. If Stern isn't acting on these, chances are someone else will and make money...
- alternative translite(s)
- alternative slingshot plastics (AJ Lee / Paige, or Dean Ambrose/ Seth Rollins, or other combinations)
- With the current Pro translite I feel blue stripes on the edge of the backbox will look better than the current red ones
- Personally I'm not very fond of the Turnbuckle Attack, Slam Attack and Rope Attack naming around the ring. To me it would make more sense to display above each ring target a simple icon/avatar/illustration of a specific wrestling move. Think Clothesline, body slam, suplex, german suplex, wrist lock, kick, superkick, hip toss, spear, piledriver, and so on (you would only need six). Whenever such a target is lit and hit that move will be shown on the display and the announcers talk about it. The center kickout should be the signature finishers of the wrester you pick. Or, when your opponent is not yet weakened enough the signature move that is used but they still can kick out, and the final finishing move to win the match. Obviously the plastic part could be a mod, but it that doesn't make it work like that in the software. If Stern could incorporate something like this in the game it may be more athentic (although I don't know yet how it is currently used other than you have to shoot at the lit targets to weaken you opponent [which you do by attacking with certain moves]).
- Not a big fan of the Slammer naming on the ring plastics. Kicker or Attack would make more sense to me.
- It would be cool if some of the Road to WrestleMania PPV's would be in the game, obviously leading up to WrestleMania, but again that's more of a software thing.
- There's a few things on the instruction card (which I can't share yet) that don't make sense to me, but again that's up to Stern to change.
- Larger decal above the drop targets to cover all the metal
- The steel ramps scream for decals
- Change the ring rubbers to red, white and blue (as originally intended). Maybe continue these colors on the ring targets as well.
- change the rest of the playfield rubbers to white instead of black, especially if the ring rubbers are all white
