Fed Sim X

Scope of release

For the 10th version of FedSim I would like to pay homage to Smackdown vs Raw 2006 to 2008. Currently FedSim is a confusing mix of book keeping and calendar cycling. The new versions intent is to become a fun game with the option to go into the old management area and tweak data.

It is also a great time to kill off features that haven't progressed in many releases (shows, bouts) and re-imagine how they might work. Fights (Bout) will use with health bars and be based on stats. Productions (Show) will be more fluid with story or rumble segments, not just fights!

Game time will become linear, progression will be simple. The UI will be less assuming and will give players a clear idea of what to do next.

Data management

All Wrestler, Championship, PPV, will be in one list
They will have a default brand association to make a quick select possible
Numeric attributes are ceiled to the nearest whole value
Numeric attributes can only be affected by 1 increments on a 0 to 100 scale

Layout changes

Splitting GM mode from Manage area
Settings will become the Manage area to encourage a clear split

New components;

HealthBar: Game style bar, 10 with 10, increment bars
ImageCycle: Cycle large image of wrestlers similar to wrestling video games menu backgrounds

Fight Simulation

Fights replace Bout
Generate HealthBar of each wrestler by combining the following:
- Technique + Speed + Durability creates CORE attribute
  - % chance of making the next move applied
- Morale + Fatigue + Charisma creates WILL attribute
  - % change of making a reversal
- Stamina + Power creates DAMAGE attribute
  - % change of damage applied to move
