How about a thread on editing the Superstar attributes? Sorry for making these, I just we need to stay organized (kind of like the Football section, etc)...
I know that this year, the attributes can be raised / lowered in increments of (1). This gives us good variety. I also think with the added attributes (recovery, strike defense, etc), this will affect gameplay time (length of matches). A rule of thumb I follow, is like we did last year... Main eventers, mid carders, jobbers.
Also, rate them according to how they would fair against the highest rated wrestler. So the Santinos would be lowered by about 20 pts (example) in each category. He might beat the Undertaker on a RARE occasion, but for the most part, he's not going to win much at all. Basically you're creating a hierarchy of wrestlers and basing the attributes off that. I did this last year, and it worked really well.
Don't be afraid to drastically change a wrestler's ratings. You'd be surprised how "realistic" it can be.
Just thoughts for now.
