Guest HollywoodSpikeJenkins Report post Posted December 10, 2002 Well, I guess the injuries are just as random as they were in 1.4 ... Paul Heyman will return from his Tricep Tear in 4 months. I never even use Paul E! Freakin' A... I think its from House Shows Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Smell the ratings!!! Report post Posted December 10, 2002 Spanky broke his neck! NOOOO!!! anyway, RING OF HONOR TIP. when you start the game, you will have a tv show. However, it will be cancelled, no matter what you do. It's in the same time slot as TNA's show, and regardless of your show quality, you will get .01 ratings for a month untill the network cancels you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Jobber of the Week Report post Posted December 11, 2002 I've gotten rid of all the hosses and so on and am working on boosting guys up to upper midcard. I'm an asshole, so I play WWE and set out to crush the world. ;D Scotty 2 Hotty is still way overtalented, btw. I just thought up a different name for him and am trying to forget that he's really Scotty 2 Hotty. =b I spent over an hour talent seraching everyone's roster and the unemployment line, and after inspecting damn near everyone, my OVW consists of Black Dragon, Derek Wylde, the obligatory Erin Bray, Jardi Frantz, Johnny Kashmere, Kevin Martel, Nick Dinsmore, Orange Crush, Trent Acid, and Ultimo Dragon. So far, nobody has really plateu'd, so I haven't found out yet which of these guys were a good sign and who can't cut a promo if their life depended on it. If a guy is really really good but can't promo for shit, I'll give him a tag partner or manager or something. Also, I set my risk level to 65% while sending a tape to NBC, although if they reject me I may set it back to 70% soon. I wish TNA cut Alisha like they did last game. I really made good use of her. EDIT: I cancelled two heat shows and lost a LOT of Public Image. I just noticed now you can cancel the show entirely and the network sued us and took half of WWE's money. D: Oh well, I spend less than 8 million a month on wages anyway with 64 workers and so many of them low-wage guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest bob_barron Report post Posted December 11, 2002 I'm kicking ass as Lutte. I have like 140 guys on the roster mainly from buying out promotions.

Guest bob_barron Report post Posted December 11, 2002 FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK! My game now freezes after every week- these EWR bugs are really really starting to annoy the hell out of me- Is there anyway your game can be bug free? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Smell the ratings!!! Report post Posted December 11, 2002 Maybe just reinstall it or redownload it? Because mine's bug free, and so were the old ones, and for no particular reason, I just got them off the site like everyone else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest El Satanico Report post Posted December 11, 2002 I'm using WWE and I have like 140 people on my roster with total wages of over 10 million. 49 of them are in OVW. Christian got a broken arm and is out for 6 months. It sucks because the Canadian Blondes(Jericho/Christian) still have the tag titles. I was preparing to have them drop the titles to Dudleys then moving Christian back to his team with Lance Storm. Jericho was then moving into a feud with RVD over the Raw title after RVD finished his feud with HHH. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest DKnez Report post Posted December 11, 2002 Im doing the WWE right now and have been for 2 months and every Smackdown and Raw ratings are the same. Is it a bug, does it ever change, whats the problem? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Electrifyer Report post Posted December 11, 2002 In EWR, I love the roster split. I'm actually doing what the WWE should be doing, I'm promoting new stars to the main event and the cruiser division is getting a lot of guys over. The two tag divisions have completely gotten the participants over and the roster split is getting massive success, I'm getting the highest possible rating for all my TV shows in prime-time.

Guest TheArchiteck Report post Posted December 11, 2002 I'll start my roster split when the rest of my ppl leaves dev. camp. Its 27 ppl in there. I recruited a ton of women for the training camp. Guess they'll stay there 4 a year....and I might give em their own split. Right now i'm just pushing ppl to upper mid & ME status now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Mighty Damaramu Report post Posted December 11, 2002 Well I can't get the fucker to work. It freezes when I go to next day(and i know this b/c it says it's not responding) and freezes when I try to start a new game. It takes forever for anything to load, and the aformentioned Sophie problem. Do you have to have 1.4? Where is it!? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest TheArchiteck Report post Posted December 11, 2002 Well, just use another pic and it name it a sophie jpg. I used another pic of a girl for my Sophie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest El Satanico Report post Posted December 11, 2002 This roster split isn't anything new to me. I always had seperate feuds running on Raw and Smackdown so this is just the same old thing to me. Hopefully the next update adds angles that are related to the roster split. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest MaxPower27 Report post Posted December 12, 2002 I'm still struggling with the tag experience factor. Chavo/Tajiri are starting to lose overness because I'm pushing them too high up the card. They're both over at 80, and in the midcard. Sophie said that they weren't ready to be uppermidcarders yet, so they're stewing in the midcard. I eliminated the Raw Titles, as I'm not running a split yet, and sent Jericho onto a feud with Rey Misterio Jnr. Getting good heat. How is the roster split working for some of you? I might try it in a different save slot, but is it more difficult? less? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest LaParkaMarka Report post Posted December 12, 2002 Ok, so I'm playing as my local indie fed, ECCW. Pretty tough going early on, losing a lot of money and being ignored by all the networks, but I finally got a deal at TSN and started kicking ass, making money, and getting my guys pretty darn over for a very small regional promotion. I brought in a guy by the name of Ebessan in order to job him out to one of the main heels in my promotion, the dreaded Dr Luther. So, Dr Luther and Ebby put on a rather good fued, ending with a gamut of gimmick matches all with Luther going over clean. It was great, made Luther my top draw by far and I was all set to have him as the centerpiece of my promotion. Then Sophie is all "Hey, Dr Luther has 3 months left on his contract." So I decide to give him a big fat raise, and what does he say? "Sorry, but I think I'm going to try for one of the bigger promotions." WHAT? WHAT?!?!?! You ungrateful bastard! I looked deep within him, and saw something no one else did. I saw potential. I saw heart. I saw that his stats were slightly better than my other unused main event heel, and I gave him the push of a lifetime. And then the very next day he gets stolen by "No Name Wrestling". Now he's a midcarder, in a promotion whose top draws are Bradshaw and, ironically enough, the recently fired Ebessan. I hope they both get stoned by a rabid mob in the mid-south or something. And if I ever see Dr Luther at a local show, I am going to start rabidly yelling about how he's an unloyal backstabbing scumbag. DAMN YOU DR LUTHER! The moral of the story: if you are setting someone up for a big push, make sure to get them in a nice long written contract. The End. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RenegadeX28 Report post Posted December 12, 2002 Well, that freezing thing shouldn't be happening. Whatever you do, I hear press Ctrl-Alt-Del during the loading process will corrupt the file. The WWE is too easy to use. I have been getting 6.11 ratings every week. I need to make my own fed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Electrifyer Report post Posted December 12, 2002 "How is the roster split working for some of you? I might try it in a different save slot, but is it more difficult? less?" I like it, it makes managing a big roster much easier. The only complaint is that there are not enough feuds allowed, so I have to pair some people up in the tag ranks to get more people involved.

You do know that you can run good feuds without having it on the official feud slots. Just use the notepad to make notes of what feuds you are doing. I'm currently not using any of the feud slots. I won't use them into i have my planned major feuds set up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest TheArchiteck Report post Posted December 12, 2002 Ok...my perfectly running 2.0 isn't anymore. It freezes after everyday. I realize it was slower than 1.4, but dammit.....I took a shower and came back and it was still on that load screen. I'll just continue playing 1.4 untill they fix some of this stuff.
