    Playing as a Developmental Company

    in Total Extreme Wrestling 2020 General Discussions

    Posted

    So figured I'd break my duck and make a post in here. Have always read the forums but having recently been forced to register to see things, I might as well get involved.

     

    Using landxx real world mod I decided to test out the developmental feature. Thankfully his mod is extremely generous in terms of pop and stats making it pretty easy to play around without being killed with ratings, penalties etc. My experience so far has been enjoyable.

     

    After booking a month of shows I haven't had the pleasure of being sent anyone from the Main Roster, quite the opposite in fact. The calls ups so far have been mostly as expected. Though this may be because of the genrous pop the NXT talent has due to the mod.

     

    With that being said after the first Takeover i'm due to lose three of the more important road agents in HBK, Regal & Smiley. Beth Pheonix has also been called up leaving me an announcer short but this isn't much of an issue. Breezango surprisingly were the first to be called upon despite Fandango being out for 9 months. More worryingly Adam Cole got called up followed by Balor a week later. Cole right before Takeover and Balor right after.

     

    Being able to write Regal off TV and help set up a Cage match for the NXT title and have it make sense was quite rewarding however

    While the mod so far has been friendly I can tell NXT is going to be a challenge, much like IRL if Vince decides to cherry pick anyone who gets over enough. Thankfully the month buffer gives you time to act and get some mileage from a story rather than just needing to abandom angles or drop titles instantly.

     

    Case in point, having been warned of Cole ahead of time he dropped the NXT title to Velveteen Dream (Awkward) however having just put Balor over Keith Lee for the NA title, I now need to hot shot the title back to Lee or someone else. The positive is if they don't agree to put someone over or get annoyed, they'll be gone from the roster anyway. Good way to elevate someone and not be detrimental to your backstage environment.

     

    As for my first Takeover, the generous pop helped but I still made a few mistakes such as match lengths, match aims etc. Especially in the Main Event which went slightly too long for a steal the show match plus both guys got stamina points ducked.

    Overall though developmental is a fun feature with some challenging restrictions and obstacles along the way. Playing as simply a booker of a developmental (Especially in historical mods) could be really challenging but exciting at the same time.

     

    For me I may continue this save after release, to get used to a lot of the new or changed things, until a historical mod becomes available. Though with the challenge of star power being called up and Charlotte Womens champ (From the start) and Rheas loan expiring, Charlottes also the womens division will take a big dip but that sounds like a riveting challenge. NXT womens division does need some work IRL compared to the Asuka days or the Horsewomen.

     

     

    How Cole/Dream only got a 70 and Priest/Breeze got an 80 has baffled me haha. I wish I was having this type of luck with my Mod. Im hoping its the convert thats made the ratings etc so bad for me. Its really kinda ruining the game for me. Even as WWE I cant get a good rating

    <p>I dont know how you've managed to do all that. by the end of January I lost</p><p> </p><p>

    Cole, Strong, Gargano, Balor, and Dream to call ups. Do you mind if I ask what MOD you're using? </p><p> </p><p>

    I really struggle with any game Ive started to get decent match and show ratings. To the point I'm really not enjoying the game. I had a Takeover 4 way main event between Balor Gargano Cole and Ciampa and it got a 50. Which I think is pretty underwhelming. I lost my tv deals by the end of week 3 haha.</p><p> </p><p>

    Any help would be great</p>

    PSA: It's OK to get penalised for things in segments!

    My problem with the game is I'm struggling to replicate the ratings I expected from 16.

     

    Example. I have a RW convert my main even of raw is grey vs randy Orton. A match I would expect to score at LEAST a 70. It got a 52.

     

    A segment with the rock. Mic skills of 100. Rated on microphone. Scored a 66.

     

    I lose my network deals within the first month because of this. I just cant enjoy it. To the point I'm thinking of sticking with 16

    Favorite tag teams/stables you've formed in TEW

    My first story when TEW 2016 came out was one turning Roman hell with the Usos. Lasted a full year. The stable was formed after SummerSlam Roman and the Usos were renamed to their real names.

     

    Roman became Leati Anoa'i

    Usos became Samuel and Solofa Fatu.

     

    Ruled WWE for a year. Due to storyline Roman was unable to challenge for the WWE title he held the IC instead. Fatus had the Tag titles. Probably the most fun Ive had with a Stable

    What are your biggest flops and draws in your saves?

    My biggest flop that I tried to push was Keith Lee, I brought him in and pushed him to the stars. Had Samoa Joe and Randy Orton put him over and still couldnt get him over with the crowd.

     

    My biggest success is Mike Bennett. Hes been incredible. Gave him storylines with Rusev, New Day, Orton, Nakamura. Eventually leading to him facing Cena at my second Mania booked. Got a 98 out of them two and He matched Cena on terms of popularity and skill.

     

    This led to me renaming him "Main Event" Mike Bennett (before he was called on twitter due to his numerous matches on Main Event) he eventually went on to win the WWE Title on my smackdown brand. Held it for 11 months before getting injured. But hes probably been my biggest success on any TEW/EWR game

    Your Unremarkable Shows

    This might be taboo within TEW/EWR Culture, but I autobook most TV shows, pick who I want going over, and tweak angles to where all storylines are represented and everyone is booked to their strengths.

     

    I’ll usually book the biggest shows from scratch or when I want feuds to end and begin new ones.

     

    Nah if I'm booking like WWE I usually schedule my shows so its like a PPV on the last sunday of week 4. So I will usually book the first 2 weeks and auto book the 2nd two just because its too many shows

    <p>I operate a RW WWE save in July 2017 with no brand split, ive tried it before but my ratings just suffer for it, therefore i have quite a few titles and divisions</p><p> </p><p>

    <strong>WWE Champion</strong>: <strong><em>John Cena</em></strong>, he won the title from Triple H at Mania, i cant take the title off him, he is white hot hes my figurehead and in a a 92 rated storyline with Rollins, ive never had such a successful series of matches</p><p> </p><p>

    <strong>World Heavyweight Champion</strong>: Re introduced at WrestleMania due to a surge of upper carders reaching main event status i Have <strong><em>AJ Styles</em></strong> as champion, im mainly trying to use it for potential WWE champions to see how they work main event title matches, For instance, Big E is super over, im tempted to have him win the WHC from AJ as together theyre having a gret series of matches.</p><p> </p><p>

    <strong>WWE World Cruiserweight Champion</strong>: I signed alot of indy wrestlers in anticipation for a brand split that i couldnt get to work, i noticed almost all of them were Cruiserweight competitors in the uppper midcard/ midcard level. I introduced the CWC as a main event title. Currenty <strong><em>La Sombra</em></strong> is champion, the title was defended every monday on RAW to get prestige level with the WHC, both titles have 80 prestige whilst WWE title has 90. Long term plans for this is to have Sami Zayn defeat La Sombra at Battleground and face Neville at SummerSlam which brings me to......</p><p> </p><p>

    <strong>WWE Cruiserweight Tag Team Champions</strong>: <strong><em>Neville and Sami Zayn</em></strong>, inaugral champions and are going to find themselves dropping the title to Rising Sun ( Marafuji and Itami) and then find themselves going on to battle each other at SummerSlam</p><p> </p><p>

    <strong>WWE Intercontinental Championship</strong>: <strong><em>Dolph Ziggler</em></strong>, Dolph won this during my failed brand split, i turned him heel and had Dana Brooke manage him, best decision ive done for Dolph, hes in a series with Cesaro just now and I want to give the title to Cesaro but Ziggler is just doing so well i cant do it.</p><p> </p><p>

    <strong>WWE United States Champion</strong>: <strong><em>Shinsuke Nakamura</em></strong>. Nakamura was called up in January 2017, he won the title at Fast Lane in February and has been undefeated since his debut, hes on the cusp of Main Event i want to keep him undefeated until Wrestlemania when i plan on him facing someone for one of the World Championships, Nakamura had an insane series of matches with Zack Sabre Jr, that just seem to have raised prestige in the title to the same as the IC belt as well as pushing both men to the Upper Midcard.</p><p> </p><p>

    <strong>WWE Tag Team Championships</strong>: <strong><em>Gallows and Anderson</em></strong>, they won a triangle ladder natch at mania, Theyre neither damaging the title or raising its prestige, long term plans are for the winners of the Dusty Rhodes Tag team Classic to beat them at SummerSlam.</p><p> </p><p>

    <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Tournaments</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

    <strong>Royal Rumble:</strong> John Cena</p><p>

    <strong>Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Cassic:</strong> The Usos 2016 - Apollo Crews and Jack Swagger will win it 2017</p><p>

    <strong>Cruiserweight Invitational</strong>Winner earns CWC title shot at SummerSlam - Neville</p><p>

    <strong>Money in the Bank:</strong> Brock Lesnar</p>
