Indy Pro ’22: Talent Training
Game Feature Overview
The training feature in Indy Pro ’22 is meant to provide depth to the game while also allowing the player to invest in an untrained or backyard talent that they might in order to improve that talent in the game. To understand the training feature, you must first understand why we have allowed these people in the game.
Our goal has been to shine a light on everyone in the industry, this includes the black sheep that are the Backyard wrestlers as well. Booking sims are meant to be a DEEP simulation of the topic they are based on. In this case independent wrestling, which we defined early on for the sake of the game as anything, not WWE or AEW. Booking sims are best enjoyed when you can run long saves that run the length of several years of the in-game world, and when they have some depth to them. One of the key things about indy wrestling is training.
Many of the promotions in the game have their own wrestling schools (UCW Zero to name one) and many of the talents have been successful trainers (Will Ferrara, Afa Jr. Nic Taylor to name a few). A player who has a promotion with a training school or has a verified trainer will be able to use the training feature. So how does it work?
First, let’s look at how Untrained and Backyard wrestlers are used in the game without training.
