TEW2013: Real World Update: June 2014


Recommended Posts

I'd like to talk about something general that may lead to a big discussion or a big do-over for most companies.

It concerns the push on a roster.

Right now - correct me if I'm wrong - we decide the position of a wrestler on the card of a roster by popularity only, right?

I guess that's not the way it is ment to be, as Popularity is only one of the factors to determine the Overness.

I believe the other factors are recent fortunes and momentum, which you can edit for every contract itself.

This allows to have workers who are a big star only in a specific promotion to be maineventer and still be on the lower card of similiar promotions.

Does that make any sense the way I described my concerns?

any opinion on that one?

Check active in Japan for Mark Calaway

Check active in Japan for Bobby Heenan

Check active in Japan for Nick Bockwinkel

Why?!

We don't even know if 'Taker is going to be active in the US any more, let alone in Japan. Heenan is not active in Japan for reasons that shouldn't even need to be explained. Hell, I'd argue he should be "Out Of The Business" in TEW, but very few people agreed with me on that one last time I suggested it.

When did Nick Bockwinkel last make an appearance in Japan? 2000?

I don't think that Bobby Heenan or Nick Bockwinkel should even be in the data but since they are I thought I'd suggest that they should have active in Japan checked since they did work in Japan back in the day. It's cool if they don't get checked, if people don't think it's needed there's no point :)

AFAIK the position of each worker on the card (by which I assume you mean, how the game would assign via an 'autopush'?) is set primarily by their current popularity, with a modifier applied based on how their default 'style' ('brawler', 'entertainer' etc.) fits within the product of each company they work for. In that sense, a worker could have the same popularity in the US and have receive a different autopush in an entertainment based company versus a work-rate based company.

AFAIK 'recent fortunes' and 'momentum' don't affect card placement in a direct way, rather a worker with a positive 'recent fortunes' rating will gain popularity more easily, which in turn may lead to them to autopush further up the card as time goes on. Conversely if your 'recent fortunes' are not managed properly you will see some workers get stuck in a pop rut or lose pop- note- as a feature 'recent fortunes' does not effect enhancement talent or jobbers - so they can lose as often as is necessary.

RE: 'Momentum', this is a measure of a workers current peformance, how well they are being received by fans, how much they feature on the card, their in-ring performances as a wrestler, or interview or segment performance if a non-wrestler. Depending on how this is set a worker will gain significantly or losing significantly on their segments or matches. This is pretty similar to 'recent fortune' except that it also applies to non-wrestlers, which 'recent fortunes' does not. Momentum is basically the overall peformance and success of a character at present.

Bray Wyatt for example would have a very high momentum but a lower 'recent fortunes' since he doesn't win lots of matches, but his character is very hot at the moment and well featured.

A guy like Bo Dallas would have low but growing momentum, as his character gets over, but his recent fortunes would be higher, since his currently 9 and 'Bo' in terms of match results.

TL:DR; 'Momentum' and 'recent fortunes' are modifiers that can boost or hamper segment/match ratings, as well as popularity gains from segments/matches. Their setting in a contract will change how someone is autopushed on the card, but over-time workers with good or bad ratings in these features will affect a workers card position. At present, AFAIK, the only stats that directly affect a workers card position from a day 1 autopush are worker popularity and worker style/company product.

ROH needs some big updates on thier product, workers, size, storylines, TV and PPV deals.

Set them at 60 prestige and give them 2,500,000$ starting money.

Give them this popularity so it would take a quick few months to grow to cult and give written contracts (they are Cult in real life but it would break the game balance for them to have starting written contracts)

Give them this product so fans would react better to storylines, which are an important part of ROH right now.

Replace ROH's current TV deal with this one:

Here are the PPV providers ROH uses and are in the game: (I set them all at 80% revenue to network and no exclusivity)

I will go and update some of the workers too since most of them are really underrated. I hope I will get the workers ready for the August update.

Shouldn't Sinclair Broadcast Group be a Media Group and own a shit ton of TV channels? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinclair_Broadcast_Group).

Right now if you play with ROH (proprety of SBG-TV Network) you are stuck with a very crappy TV deal (with SBG-TV) that you can't change because they own the company and you can't progress with it either.

Something needs to be done here.

even if I add a media group you will still get the same issue with the tv deals, the way around could be that I edit the range on SBG TV-Network, at the moment its just set to small in the whole of USA but im open to options to what to change it too

Yeah, but if you would add it as a media group with all the channels that are on that link I'm pretty sure they would let you go from channel to channel if they are part of Sinclair?

If not you can change SBG-TV to Big in USA I guess

Do you have both Anthony Zeus and Michael Dante in the database since they are the same guy, plus should be called Michael Dante.

Also last night Dunkan Disorderly won the Wrestling.ie title, the first champ was Prince Devitt from January 24, 2014 to June 28, 2014.

Also just to clarify, the only the only TNA title change that should happen is the World, the rest are for July.
