ChrisBTY posted:My way of dealing with these things is A: Get rid of any troublemakers who arn't absolutely essential. This absolutely kills me in 2016 because I had to dump Shawn Micheals and Chris Jericho after I pushed him too fast (hate that mechanic BTW) and B: Abuse relationships. Hire jobbers with positive relationships with other jobbers. My locker rooms are a frequent Samoan/Armstrong family reunion. Thanks for the tips! One thing I forgot is rolling the dice on the "Hardline Stance". I decided to go for it, since none of my top guys are upset... got me +20% backstage atmosphere, and Stevie Ray & Paul Orndorf walked out on me. Meh, I'll take it.

On occasion I've given troublemakers paid vacation so they're not in my locker room on show days but I don't piss off a bunch of people for firing them. I've also once or twice sent them off to developmental to poison that locker room. Not the best solution but it's not your problem. But I've never had any major problems. I try and deal with a cancer quick before he or she really has time to gently caress poo poo up. Sometimes that means giving up on a big name or someone you like but it's the greater good. The only major example I can think of is I brought the American Wolves in for a big angle and then a week later Davey Richards had an affair with Eddie's wife. Half the wrestling world was pissed off at Davey so I just cut bait and tossed the angle I had gotten really excited for.

Kenny King started a bunch of fights, but he was on PPA so I had him buried in a match against an up-and-coming hoss and then canned his rear end. A week later he quit ROH and now he's just a midcarder in Gabe's third in-game promotion. Burying a guy on worldwide TV will drop their overness pretty hard. Thankfully I've yet to hire a real politician, just a couple of hotheads and Kana, who sent me notes about how half the locker room had no upside, even the ones Creative pegged as future stars. I considered hiring Trips since he left WWE to start his own dojo, but thought better of it. Just poached Sami Zayn, too. After the women's division castaways and Steen / AJ I think that's about all I need to build a new order, though the idea of doing TNA but right is somewhat appealing.

One thing to appreciate about TEW's extremely complicated design is that it accurately reflects how absolutely vital getting a commercial TV deal is to long-term health of a fed. It doesn't actually represent how impossible that is to pull off, but even a simulation has to be fun.

I think you can make it impossible of you want. It all comes down to how many networks are in the database and what their interest and tolerance level are at. An accurate representation would probably be pretty stingy. But as you said, there's no real fun in everyone dying because they can't get tv.

If you're looking for something a little different from a real world mod I'd recommend turning economy effects on, starting a game with bad economy / industry (can you control that at the outset? Might need to restart a few times) and running a small promotion with deep pockets for about a year. Economy / Industry basically set a soft cap on how big a company can get, so WWE gets starved to cult level, LU stays pretty healthy (Impact too, if it doesn't end up built on mob money) and you end up set with a fairly even playing field among a number of feds.

 I have no idea what Evolve did.  The one for Chikara mentions Sapolsky and Quack having a beef but the others were generic like this.Also, Silver Ant got some kind of spinal chord compression and he's gone for a year. I guess that means...(checks notes)...Johnny Gargano will be the guy who eventually takes the Cruiserweight belt from Kenny Omega, hopefully with Omega's North American overness up enough that he can leave cruiserweights behind.

Mass hostility is usually from a fed either growing too big or beginning to die out. If it's the same mod I think Gabe might just be a flashy spender and killing all his companies. One of the many ways he takes after Paul E.

I took a '13 mod I had enjoyed playing and edited it and did the thing to convert it for '16 so maybe not. I can't see any real pattern to it. They didn't really grow or shrink in any dramatic fashion, they signed a few contracts but they were all non-exclusive, they're financially stable. Nothing telling in Gabe's profile either. I'll keep an eye on it, hopefully something hilarious happens. AIW were going out of business too so now I've got a second development territory. They had a better women's division with Allysin Kay and Heidi Lovelace and some other folks, so I shipped all my ladies there. Is there a way to move people from one territory to another without bringing them back to the main roster in between?

http://www.wrestlezone.com/news/850...s-announced/amp Does this mean WWE 2K18 won't be getting a PS3/360 version? Not sure if that info would normally be included in a press release like that. If not then it's about drat time! Who knows how much it will translate to a better current-gen product, but it's good for them to finally rip off that band-aid.

Nothing beats getting your chosen nobody over.  Top is current, bottom is historical. His global overness outside of US / Canada is still in the Es, but hopefully new global TV expansion will help catch up. The fun thing is that the adjustments Ryland made to rookie debuts appear to work. Prior to June he had F+ overness nationwide, but I put him over big in his first program with Ryback and he got to midcard overness immediately. Book your guys in strong angles and let them win. *e here's Io, who I paired w/ Stone as a tag team and didn't even pay great attention to pushing.   Because of the TV deals, she's now significantly more over stateside than she is in Japan. Basic Chunnel fucked around with this message at 08:24 on Jun 20, 2017 |

Hell, that's not even getting into how in TEW16 really good matches benefit everyone in them much more consistently. Sami Callahan has lost every PPV match I've put him in since he was hired (the ol' Sami Zayn push), but he's gained an increment of overness every month and maintained his place in the main event. He's getting more over faster than Goldberg pushed rookies on the roster. Sure, maybe I tend to abuse the Mega Powers Explode-style "everyone looks like a killer" sort of angle at go-home shows, but a well-booked fed makes everybody important and dangerous when they need to be.

I decided that TEW doesn't make sense when I had Monty Brown lose every match for 6 months and he kept getting more and more over until he was the top star in wrestling. He pulled a Daniel Bryan and I have no idea how.

Did you book him in angles to look good? I think really strong positive momentum can reverse the normal effects of losing.

I wonder if it's another hidden mechanic, like the invisible "potential" stat that sets a hard overness floor for guys and you can only roughly measure via the Creative Meeting function. A guy with high potential (like The Rock or Cena) won't lose overness unless it's buried out of him, otherwise they stay at A popularity indefinitely, even through hiatus or injury. A guy with low potential will start losing any overness they gain as soon as their push ends. I wonder if there are folks so full of potential that they just take off if they're used in any way. Would make for an interesting wrinkle - most but not all of those hidden stats are randomized at game start. Right now Creative is suggesting that there are only two potential megastars on my active roster - Pete Dunne, who is basically The Rock 2 and will sit at A forever if I push him, and Alexa Bliss, who's more of a Jericho and will probably maintain a floor of B or B-. But there are a few others going through the developmental paces right now. Problem for me is that I'm pushing my drawing WWE castoffs right now and letting Dunne be king of the tag division, which has no belt or formal structure. I may have to bite the bullet and depush Tyler Bate (who puts on fantastic matches with alarming consistency) in his favor.

There's definitely something to this, my current world champ was in a very over tag team before I made him a single, and his partner (they didn't break up and feud or anything, so the guy didn't get buried) has almost instantly dropped from B+ to C overness now that he's not being "carried" by the better half of the team. He's a good worker, but has no real star power, charisma, mic skills, or anything going for him really. Meanwhile, I have other people who I use as jobber to the stars and otherwise ignore who only drop below B-/C+ if I actively bury them.
