Player controlled wrestlers, or AI controlled?

[Slyde]

Hi guys,

thinking about getting this but from the videos i cant tell if you have to play as the wrestlers, or you just create them and watch them fight. (or both?)

Honestly, im more interested in building your own ai wrestler and watching him do his thing, over some button mashing myself, so if ai controlled wrestlers are in here, then im gonna pull the trigger.

thanks in advance guys...

Yes you can do both! In fact AI simulation is the biggest aspect to the franchise. The CPU Logic system is incredibly deep. It's the central to the entire game. Majority of players sim.

Also don't have to worry about button mashing, it's a timing system. There's a tutorial in game to explain and some guides here in the Guides section for this game that cover other details.

Why not both? Tagging with AI partners and working with their logic to form great tag spots is fun too.
But yes, watching AI controlled wrestlers play through matches is a big part of the Fire Pro experience; most players never even play themselves.

You can do both and it is a pretty cool game. I don't think it's worth $90 if you buy all of the DLCs at full price, but the DLCs are on sale right now. I've been able to get 100+ hours with the base game - granted that a lot of those hours were spent customizing and organizing.

ok awesome info guys.. thanks very much.. i think im gonna pull the trigger this weekend.

and i agree.. tag teaming with an ai partner might be fun!

Both!.

i have every DLC and over 600 hours lmao.

The fire promoter is the best DLC at the moment, and it's great cause i can control each wrestler and not get bored watching simmed matches.

yeah AI matches are good for testing logic etc, but i just get way to bored way to easy lmao, so it's deffently worth the money.

Each title i have brought on sale, base game for like 20AUD, 3 main dlc's for about 20 - 23 each.

so it's about a 80 - 90$ game but it's worth it.

Heck i have spent more on ets2 xD.

You can play or sim.

However, if you play with "button mashing", you'll lose definitely. Fire Pro Wrestling (World) isn't a button masher, it's about timing and building up the match: no piledrivers as opening moves in Fire Pro Wrestling World.
