See, I didn't know that...ducks eat for free at Subway.
And in true WWE 13/nL fashion, it's glitched; a majority of wrestlers are somehow tiny, while a couple show up and are huge. So far we've had Tiny Nash and Tiny Big Show, but Giant Sin Cara and Giant Kharma.

Supercard chat: I've got a dozen or so Title Belts to burn tonight. What's the proper way to ~maximum sandbag~ them with +5s so I can try and break into another tier?

Getting the best chance in exhibition usually amounts to having 3 powerful wrestlers (that idealy include a tag team) + 2 junk commons to make winning your matches 2-1 a lot more likely.

You sometimes have to do some fine tuning of exactly how strong you want those strong cards to be, as match seeding is dependent on total stats of your deck - you want to find yourself paired against the big groups of people who are running 5 'good' cards vs your 3 excellent ones (3 legend pros+ 2 commons vs 5 epic pros, for instance), not other people doing the exact thing you are.

You also may want to consider how good a card is when leveling it up. Winning by thin, but calculated, margins is more useful (in the sense that you want to keep your cumulative stat total as low as you can and still win) than blowouts.

To give a specific example:
Mizdow is a pretty poo poo SV, so even if you get a pro Mizdow to max level he's going to lose to other sv most of the time. So if you happen to pull two, it can be a good idea to get him to pro them only level him just enough that he can take out basically any pro leg and stop there. That will help you maximize the value of your cumulative stats.

The same idea applies to the crappy cards of every tier.

Yeah this. My current team has a 3 legend pros and level 25ish pro survivor Mizdow and level 5 pro RtG sting. So they occupy the ~1900 stat spot just above the PCC survivors/legend pros, and I'll often beat teams with max pro Survivors (~3000 stats) because the rest of their team isn't beating my guys, and I usually get paired vs. and crush teams of legend pros/PCC survivors.

Did you not watch the Wrestling MPire rumble yesterday? Kurt Angle (or Kirk Angel as he's called) was just a head, torso and leg. Hell, Andre the Giant went backstage after the rumble, stabbed Hulk Hogan and put him through a table.

Pretty much, the MDickie wrestling games are amazing fun even if they are dumb as hell. I mean, you can murder another dude at a tribute show so the next week becomes a tribute show also. You can have perpetual tribute shows.

After finally breaking into Survivor tier in Supercard and spending the weekend grinding to level up some of my cards I really wish there was a way to filter out opponents with those damned RTG Sting cards. Yay, lets play every match against someone with an RTG Sting, Epic Pro Rock and two trash common cards :geno:

Bite the bullet and sandbag Legend tier KotR. If you can manage the win in the semis you will slowly build up your leg pairs and be able to compete. RTG sting has high stats but there are leg pros that can beat him in every stat iirc.

If that sounds like a boring waste of time (it kind of is), you may want to quit playing or take a break.

You also have the option of building a bit from PCC, even if you can only pull the leg base or the "regular" sv, it can help.

Oh, I'm already sandbagging Legendary KOTR with 4 Epic Pro's and a Legendary Pro and am consistently placing high enough to get at least one Legendary reward each time. It's just grinding in exhibition matches to level up a bunch of Epic and Legendary cards I've got so that I can do better in the next RTG event that's endlessly boring because it feels like every opponent has the same few cards.

I've got three more fights until my Gold Brock and my team is Gold Bryan, Silver Brock, and Silver Cena and despite some troubles here and there I've gotten through it pretty well. That being said, I'm sure I'm going to hit a wall even if I do make it there, because my Bryan cannot carry the team forever.

EDIT: Alright, I have Cyborg Lesnar left and still have the same team and it seems doable to me, I'll find out tomorrow when I wake up.

If you want free fighters outside of Cyborg Brock for clearing stuff I found a list of available rewards.

Create/sign in with WBID: Bronze Paige, Bronze Brie Bella after 10 days of logging in
Clear Bonus Battle 1: Bronze Daniel Bryan
Clear Bonus Battle 2: Silver The Rock
Clear Bonus Battle 3: Silver Nikki Bella
Clear Bonus Battle 4: Silver Triple H
Clear Bonus Battle 5: Gold Daniel Bryan
Clear Bonus Battle 6: Gold Undertaker

Bonus Battle 1 is also the easiest/most mindless way to grind credits if you have a bunch of teams you can sub in when your stamina runs out.

I'm playing the MMA version of TEW, World of Mixed Martial Arts 4 (not sure if it has been mentioned yet, lotta pages)

Punk is in it with the Modern Warriors mod/database.

I booked him against myself in our mutual UFC debuts. He missed weight by 12 pounds and I gogoplata'd him in the first round. BOOK IT JOE SILVA. Art foreshadowing reality.

Also in another savegame I was running PRIDE from 1997. I managed to get Nobuhiko Takada on a 10 fight win streak.

Every time I see Goatse, I think of Maureen. That's the last thing I saw. Before I blacked out. The sight of that man's anus.

Man, cybrock is a beast. his light attacks are really fast and spammable. If you intentionally miss the input at the end of the combo you can just infinitely spam it and the AI won't know what to do until you're half a life bar and a full finisher up on it. It seems that if the AI is not backed into the corner it thinks it has to go through the entire stagger back animation before blocking or attacking, and Brock's attacks are really fast and don't knock back very far. I'm consistantly rolling main events with 3 20+ gold guys using only him.

I've never used Silver Undertaker, but I've noticed that if a hit in a multi-hit special takes him down to 0, and then the hits left do more than 25%, it KOs him.
