Guest CED Ordonez Report post Posted June 21, 2002 McLargeHuge, the risk factor setting affects what kind of matches and angles you can book. Low risk settings will only allow you to do singles, submission, and Ironman matches and basic angles. As you raise the risk, you'll be able to choose hardcore matches, deathmatches, Hell in the Cell and the like as well as book more risque angles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MarvinisaLunatic Report post Posted June 21, 2002 I dunno if anyones mentioned it yet, but a way to save a bit of cash is to get a wrestler to reneg on their contract for more money over 1 year or less and then terminate them right afterwards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Angle-plex Report post Posted June 21, 2002 So has anyone had Risk level 100% and gotten a TV deal? And if you get a TV deal with say a 60% risk, then move it up, do they cancel the deal? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest RetroRob215 Report post Posted June 21, 2002 Playboy has 0% morality, but the highest rating possible is .75, so they might offer a company with a 100% risk factor a TV contract. Booking errors should be corrected in the next update. I have errors on the sponsor screen only. For Buck Naked, you need 100% risk factor and only Hyatt/Sytch agree to them. What I do is, for CBS i bring my Risk down to 35%. Then for MTV I go up to 90%. On days I have no TV I bring it back down to 35%, so no one gets hurt at a house show. For PPV's I jack it up to 100%, lose all my sponsors and sign them back the next day. It's fool-proff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest pinnacleofallthingsmanly Report post Posted June 21, 2002 I hope I can get a tv deal with someone. My top guys will be flying the coop soon because they want to move up in the world. Hopefully, I will be able to move up and retain them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest pinnacleofallthingsmanly Report post Posted June 22, 2002 Richard Laurent is on my shit list, he went to the XWF with my belt! When I get bigger, I'm going to sign his ass just so I can job him out repeatedly (if he'll agree to put anyone over) and I am going to try to ruin him for leaving with my belt. Vince McMahon has nothing on me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest pinnacleofallthingsmanly Report post Posted June 22, 2002 Damnit! I just released Erin Bray by accident and he was my most over guy. He put on a **1/2 star match on the last show. Things don't look good for the MWO. I have to start from scratch now and I have burned a few bridges by screwing people out of money. Looks like a cold winter is in store for my federation.

Guest Jobber of the Week Report post Posted June 22, 2002 I just passed Vengence. I turned Rey Jr into Hurricane's new sidekick. They just won the tag titles from Chuckabilly. Then I brought Shannon Moore, face turned him, and created a Superhero cruiser stable. L. O. L. This game is just too much fun. Also, I had Hogan tap out to Kurt! The match was rated something like 89% or 92% in fan reaction. But you know what I get in my virtual mailbox the next day? Now THAT is the sign of a perfect blowoff!

Guest pinnacleofallthingsmanly Report post Posted June 22, 2002 I have found a way to be a cheap bastard! I use advertising all month long to boost my public rating, but I turn around and go to none right before the month ends! I'm about to start over and see what I can do this time!

Guest El Psycho Diablo Report post Posted June 22, 2002 This game can be a bastard, particularly because you can't FORCE people to job yet. However, I started a game as New Japan, just to be something other than the WWE juggernaut, and went talent-raiding after clearing out a lot of people. Somethhing I'm particularly proud of.. KENTA v Kawada 3 - 18 - 33 - 51 (feud rating, over one month) (h)KENTA - over 25 - 41 ("over" ness, from the last two weeks) (f)Kawada - over 24 - 35 ("over" ness, from the last two weeks) Getting people over isn't easy..until the CPU WWE is stupid and releases Paul E. GET HIM IMMEDIATELY. Just having him around as a manager for a couple promos works wonders for guys. -Shiro Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest ArkhamGlobe Report post Posted June 22, 2002 I finally got my first ***** match just now, it was a draw between Kurt Angle and the Rock at Vengeance, the match also had a 100% crowd reaction. On the card I also turned Ric Flair heel, which I have been hinting towards for weeks, having him cost Steve Austin a match against Chris Benoit. The card as a whole got a quality rating of 86.

Guest Edwin MacPhisto Report post Posted June 23, 2002 Damn tiny funds for TCW. Running a decent show on 1,500,000 is hard as hell when you have to have a 22 person roster. I want to go back to my NWA game, but it's really a pain to have that third show now. I wish I could get rid of it. Unfortunately, I don't have that kind of money to spend on legal fees...oof. It's hard enough to try to manage 50-some guys over two shows, but having 12 between PPVs is a biiiiiig stretch for feuds. Damn this tricky business! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest goodhelmet Report post Posted June 23, 2002 if possible, look at which network you're using has the smallest ratings number. use that third show to pump up your talent you're not using in feuds and use it as a developmental show with good matches. the other two shows should be sufficient for your major feuds. that's what i've been doing and i have been making mad profit while pumping up the smaller guys as well.

Guest Angle-plex Report post Posted June 23, 2002 So what exactly does talent on staff worker mean. Say, what is the difference between a writer with talent 90, and talent 60? Will you have more angles with the higher talent? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kingpk Report post Posted June 23, 2002 Well, with road agents there will probably be fewer "incidents" with your workers. A better medic will be able to treat more serious injuries faster. A good announcer will probably add to the card rating by making the action sound more exciting. Not sure about writers though. HHH is complaining his heat was killed because he lost a HIAC match to Taker at Vengance. Well, he's jobbing to Benoit now to set up a RVD/Benoit feud for the Undisputed title. I'm seriously misusing Angle though, he's the most over man in the company and he's IC champ feuding with Booker T. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest pinnacleofallthingsmanly Report post Posted June 23, 2002 Does anyone know what it takes to get your federation promoted? Is it money or Public Image that has to be increased? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Angle-plex Report post Posted June 23, 2002 Public Image I think. BTW, some ages are screwed up. It says hogan is 52, and he's only 48. Also, I have Joey Styles and Bobby Heenan as announcers. Styles talent is like 40 something, and Heenan's in the 60's. WTF?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's probably a really good idea. I wish my two good shows then weren't Friday/Saturday, because that's going to utterly exhausted the workers, but oh well. They're all getting the same ratings now, but the one on UPN only has so much of a threshold to get to. Also, about feuds: in experimenting with them, I've never had one come off that well. I rarely run more than 2 or 3 feuds at once because I can't make that many programs last that long. Has anyone had any success with month-long feuds, or all you all doing much, much more extended programs? So far the shortest I've been able to make at all respectable was a two-monther.

Guest Edwin MacPhisto Report post Posted June 23, 2002 Hey, here's a question. Since I'm jobbing out Buff Bagwell and Scott Hall this month and then releasing them (god bless verbal contracts), will it do harm to have, say, Hall feud with Scoot Andrews, and have Scoot constantly go over and win the blow-off? It'll be a short feud, but it's basically just using Hall to put somebody over before he's gone. Anyone have experience with these deals? Does it work? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest pinnacleofallthingsmanly Report post Posted June 23, 2002 I think you might have o meek the feud a little even to make people care about it. If you want to sack people, you can do it after the show but before the end of the month. If you do it that way, you don't have to pay them. I have found that you can do that with advertisement as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RetroRob215 Report post Posted June 23, 2002 To get rid of a third show, just cancel is 3 times and the network will end their deal with you. Pinnacle- You are a genius. You have found like 3 ways to screw the game out of money already. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
