Big update on this! I just ran about 25 tests in a row in the Bloodline Rules match, using CE to assign the ID number of the people I want running in for me, and it worked around 23 of those times! It's a little weird how it has to be done, but it's working the VAST majority of the time. The biggest problem is that the entrance video and HUD name on screen for that run-in person will be wrong (it will say the name and show the entrance video of the default person the CPU would have selected).
So for example, I assigned Cody to run in and help John Cena. It works, and even plays the correct music during the run in, but the wrong entrance video shows on the barricade and the wrong name shows on screen for his slot. To me, that's INSANELY annoying (I like to make cheats/fixes as perfect as possible), but maybe to some people that isn't a big deal? GIVE ME FEEDBACK ON THIS. If anybody sees this post and wants to chime in on how big of a deal this issue is, please do so. Meanwhile I'm going to continue seeing if I can force the correct entrance vid+HUD name but for some reason that's a lot harder than the rest. My success rate so far making the right name/vid appear is only about 2 out of 25 tests, which is terrible. Keep an eye on this space for updates! The more interest I see in this thread (meaning replies, or messages on Discord from people), the more likely I am to put this as a priority.
Thanks for being patient this year, guys! I know it seems like this thread has been up forever, but this game has the least amount of interest from players out of all the games I currently work on... so unfortunately it has taken a back seat this year. I am still planning to release a bunch of stuff though, as time permits or as interest/priority rises.
