EWR 4.0 Has Officially Been Set Free!

[Phoenix Fury Legdrop 0]

Is anyone else having problems downloading 4.2?

[Lightning Flik 0]

It's not just you.

 

Wonder why the update.

 

*Looks* Ok, explanation to be provided:

 

If you are using someone like "The Rock" as an announce and you suspend them or they get injuried the game would crash. Thusly this provides the fix. So unless you are using a wrestler for commentary, don't bother with the update.

[iggymcfly 0]

Can someone please explain what the actual defining factor for PI is. This week, I ran the first episode of my new TV show on TSN which got an 80% and 1.22 rating which was higher than every show except Raw. My TV show from before got an 81% which was the best I'd ever gotten for a TV. Then, the end of the week comes and my PI drops another three points.

 

But that's not even the worst of it. I checked the other promotions, and every other promotion in the game gained PI that week. What the hell?! What can I possibly do to keep my PI from falling? I just went and hired another moderately over wrestler to an open contract, but I don't think it did anything, and none of the other wrestlers in the game are as over as my guys anyway.

 

P.S. Is it possible to turn someone to make them a tweener? I brought in Sean Waltman to be in a tweener version of DX w/B.G. James, but I accidentally debuted him while he was still a heel.

Really?

 

Cause I had HBK on commentary on Heat while he was suspended for a month with no problems whatsoever.

 

Hell, he's still on commentary now after I've sent him to development.

Sorry my friend, but even I'm unsure of how to change that PI dropping thing. It's quite a mystery indeed. You could always make your production levels more than your opposing rivals and increase your advertising by an extra 10% of whatever financial says. That has always helped me.

 

Tweeners are botched turns really. Just botch a heel/face turn and it'll make him tweener. That's about all I can suggest on that.

Well that's what the fix is for apparently.

[Guest El Satanico]

I wish they'd hurry up with that game editor.

 

I've always ran game like the roster split runs the game, but 4.0 is a bigger bitch about morale dropping from guys not being used enough.

 

I think almost all of my upper/main eventers have at least small morale problems. Would be nice to have the editor to up the morales.

 

Yeah yeah it may be cheating, but shit I'm just playing for fun and I don't feel like totally changing the way I run the game.

[Use Your Illusion 0]

Re-think your main event.

 

Iron Man matches rarely pay off, even with Benoit & Guerrero whom are capable of carrying a 60 minute match. I have yet to make one really work and the match rating always seems to lag.

 

If those two are your two biggest stars (which is what you'd want to put in your main event for WMXX) then stick with that match, however use a different gimmick.

My Opinion: This match gets two stars from me. Nothing more, nothing less. ** (80, 84, 71)

Rico obviously didn't want any more of a beating tonight.

My Opinion: Slightly above average match. Only gets a **3\4 rating from me. (86, 90, 78)

 

Ric Flair vs Chris Jericho.

My Opinion: Usually, this is designated for good matches that were usually way too short for some reason. What's your excuse? *3/4 (89, 100, 64)

 

Randy Orton vs Edge.

 

Match Background: This is another chapter in the long-running Edge vs Orton feud. This match is for the WWE Intercontinental title. Edge has been WWE Intercontinental champion since 25 January 2004.

Edge gets picked up...and hit with another Simoniser! Edge is spread-eagled on the canvas. Diamond again raises three fingers. Referees hit the ring, but are too scared to get too close. They can't stop this carnage...Simoniser, the third one in a row! Simon Diamond eventually leaves the ring, as medics come to attend to Edge, who isn't moving.

 

My Opinion: Let me practice my math. 13 quarter stars equal a ***1\4 rating, right? Yeah, it does. That's what you get. (84, 85, 83)

 

Rob Van Dam vs Kane.

Total: 82%

 

We got a 1.91 buy rate for 'WrestleMania'!

The attendance was 20279 people.

We made $4775000 from pay-per-view revenue.

We made $1216740 from ticket sales.

-----------------------------------------------------------

 

Kinda disappointed, but it drew a ton of people at least. I wanted the HIAC to end with a big bump from Kane, but he didn't want to do it. I debuted Christopher Daniels the next night on RAW and will put him against RVD at Backlash.

[Use Your Illusion 0]

King, that Flair/Y2J match was *HOT*. Fuck what Dames thinks, the fans obviously orgasimed in about 60 different ways right there.

 

And Benoit/Angle only drawing ***? Looks like they both phoned it in for Wrestlemania.

[Guest JacK]

You don't know who Chris Hero or Trent Acid are, but you paid that much money to steal them?

Yep, they looked like they had talent, and their pictures didn't look like they wore a bucket on their head (like that Ebessan fellow).

 

Basically, I was panicking about losing my Japan tourers, after I lost Red and someone else, so I signed up good people, but then the tourers never went anywhere, all the rest stayed, so now I'm stuck with these mega-high wages. Well, at least with my weekly 0.6 buyrates I can well afford it.

[Use Your Illusion 0]

Trent Acid is money. He's never had a match under *** in my promotion, and he only hits *** when he is in there with someone that doesn't compliment his style.

 

Acid & Frank Shamrock = Best technical match...ever.

Tajiri floors Hurricane near the ropes and makes the pin. Tajiri is using the ropes for leverage! The referee hasn't seen it: 1....2....3!! Tajiri slides out of the ring to the floor, then turns and leaves through the crowd. He's happy to have the win, and evidently isn't going to hang around for Hurricane to get some payback.

 

My Opinion: This match had it all! Big bumps, incredible, crisp moves, sound psychology. Simply one of the best matches of the year. *****! (96, 92, 100)

 

Gotta love that, only 8 encounters into their feud too.

 

EDIT: By the way, what's up with Colt Cabana being one of the best workers ever?!? I signed him up so I could have Second City Saints after I split up Anarchy (Raven & Punk) and I've got him in OVW for now and he's improving every month. He's up to Colt Cabana Charisma - 81 Brawl - 83 Speed - 90 Tech - 91. Madness!! He'll be snapping off ***** matches all over the shop when I bring him in and get him over.

Sorry for the double post, but this is too important to be missed in the previous exciting post. I have serious morale issues. My fucking champion, Kurt Angle, who is the most over in the company and in the midst of an 83 heat feud with Eddie Guerrero (they're producing shit matches I might add) is at 33% morale. I've already hired Eric Angle and Jason Breeze to make him happy and now I'm just worried. If I lose him, I'm fucked. On top of that, my other Main Eventer, Brock Lesnar, has PLUMMETED to 23% morale, I just don't know what to do with him. Meanwhile, The Rock is at 35% in an 86 heat feud with RVD. Three of my biggest names are not fucking happy and I'm stressing out. TNA are only at 96% National, so I'm not overly worried about them yet, but how do I make my big stars happy again??

Champions after WM XX:

WWE- Steve Corino

WWE IC- Christian

WWE Tag- Triple X

MLW Champ- Bryan Danielson

 

WWE World- Eddie Guerrero

WWE US- Paul London

WWE Tag- Benoit/Jericho

WWE Cruiser- Nova (insane over)

 

Backlash should be pretty good with Lesnar coming back, although he's headed to Raw to feud with the king of old school.

 

London is dropping the strap soon and facing Eddie, Trent Acid is insane over and will be taking the IC title off of Christian pretty soon. Game is going strong....and it gets fun once everything is where you like it.

Are you running a full roster split? If so, there's your problem. These guys expect to be on about every other show...if they're missing Heat and Raw/Smackdown, they won't be happy. When I did WWE, I got rid of the roster split pretty quickly...and with it Triple H and Kevin Nash. That may be your problem.

Well, great. Now I can't play EWR for probably another week. I had been working for months to find a decent way to get the tag belts off of Kash and London, so they could move into main event singles feuds since they were my #2 and #3 faces. Since I already had CM Punk I hired Colt Cabana and spent a month building up the Second City Saints. I set up a good feud between the two teams that was at 89 heat, and then, when they were finally going to take the titles at Climax (a PPV), I accidentally put Carly Colon in the match instead of Colt Cabana, and now I've completely ruined my tag belts.

 

I know it probably won't even make that much difference in the game, but it just makes me so ANGRY. I like to make logical storylines for myself, even when the details are minute enough that the game won't notice. I look at my title lineages about every time I put on a show just for funsies, and I know that seeing CM Punk and Carly Colon there is just gonna piss me off to no end. A six month title reign for Kash and London ended on PPV by a non-team, half of which they were feuding with. It's not even like when Tajiri took over for Chavo, because there's no reason for it, and Colon's just a crappy jobber for me. I think I'll just have Punk and Cabana put Colon in the hospital, and have Cabana take over his belt, but it still totally fucked up my feud, and it's gonna take a while before I get over the anger.

Re-think your main event.

 

Iron Man matches rarely pay off, even with Benoit & Guerrero whom are capable of carrying a 60 minute match. I have yet to make one really work and the match rating always seems to lag.

 

If those two are your two biggest stars (which is what you'd want to put in your main event for WMXX) then stick with that match, however use a different gimmick.

 

UYI

thanks for the advice.. eddie guerraro is my top heel right now at 98 overness....beniot is at 93 overness... i was thinking of either doing angle/lesner II for the title or something different... went with something different.

Just a quick one crew. I need a gimmick for a face Rob Conway teaming with Nick Dinsmore in an Ice Man gimmick as Lords of the Ring.

I'd give him the "cool" or "dude" gimmick, personally.

 

And I'm now "at war" with WWE in my TNA game. I've got RVD coming in in one month, and Charlie Haas coming in in 3 (though that bastard went from making 40,000 with WWE to wanting 100,000 to come work for me!). I had Kidman coming in, but he got fired from their along with Stamboli, D-Von, and Noble, so I snatched up Noble instead.
