Marko Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 Im sure not so long ago there was a useful thread on TCW and also SWF, ive just started a new game with TCW and could really do with a little help, anyone know what happend to those threads?
FINisher Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 I thougth that you talked about the wrestler named Guide But just a minute I'll search. EDIT: This one? A Guide To TCW
Blackman Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 I'd definately sign Guide to TNA. He has the flashiness to back up his skills. You should develop his charisma though. -- lol it indeed sounds as an in-game message that guide was coming to TCW. But I kinda got the picture before checking the thread.
Blackman Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 rofl Sorry. I got carried away. Anywayz, in my 1997 C-Verse game that is currently in 2004, I managed to create my own TCW since Cornell didn't want to come to help create the promotion even after taking the liberty to manually change his relationship with Eisen to dislike so he'd get released in 2004. Oh well. I made the promotion settings a bit like BHOTWG, but a focus more on mainstream then hyper realism. Key = Realism Medium = Modern, Mainstream, Comedy, Traditional, Pure, Lucha Using these settings gives you favourable sponsorship and a bigger emphasis on in-ring talent, without going all out like the Japanese promotions. I like to sign talented 'super-juniors', operating from the South West mostly, but it's more dependable on the actual game status. In my game, OLLIE went out of business for some reason, and when MPWF became too small for its top workers, I took them in my promotion and changed the settings to allow succes. You have to feel the gaming world a bit. Bottom line: It's your game, so nothing holds you back from changing the product settings to your liking, especially if you choose to be the owner of the company. But with TCW's talent anno 2008, I shouldn't do it, unless you book Cornell in each main event (duh).
Stennick Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 The thing about TCW I don't get is their supposed to be a wrestling company. But their top faces are RDJ who is a good wrestler, but then its like Baine, Rahn, Golden and Law. These guys aren't the best wrestlers on the planet.
Irish Wolf Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 The thing about TCW I don't get is their supposed to be a wrestling company. But their top faces are RDJ who is a good wrestler, but then its like Baine, Rahn, Golden and Law. These guys aren't the best wrestlers on the planet. It's actually rated equally on performance and popularity. And on another note Baine has like a B in psychology. Rahn however never seems to do well for me in the main event white I can pull decent matches with all the rest of the ME crew. My biggest peeve about the TCW ME scene is that Rahn, Baine, Golden and RDJ all can't wrestle the AI proscribed length for a Main Event without being exhausted.
Hyde Hill Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 Law is good enough tough and Baine can learn. There where 2 other threads on tcw (as I remember since i posted a lot in em) but think they have been removed due to inactivity.
Hyde Hill Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 The time for main event is only for the AI doesnt influence match ratings as far as I know.
FINisher Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 Well actually it depends on the product: For example with GCG, PGHW, BHOTWG and CZCW, highly performance based promotions long matches equals ratings.
Antithesis Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 The thing about TCW I don't get is their supposed to be a wrestling company. But their top faces are RDJ who is a good wrestler, but then its like Baine, Rahn, Golden and Law. These guys aren't the best wrestlers on the planet. My honest opinion is that Rahn Baine and later RDJ (after he's jobbed out to the Syndicate) are there to help get guys like Brent Hill, John Anderson, Sammy Bach and Eddie Peak over as heels. Rocky Golden, because of his youth, does have potential. Usually I send him to development in my TCW games, he never complains or says it won't help him improve.
Hyde Hill Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 Job rocky out first imho he has masses of overness just keep him happy with wins over other jobbers. And yes TCW starts with a slightly lopsided product job the ones out with too much overness compared to skill and you will be fine as enough talent in the mid/undercard or to be signed up.
Derek B Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 And here I was thinking that guys like Baine, RDJ and Rahn were guys that had simply gotten over with HGC and were still over from those days. They've always been high up the HGC/TCW pecking order and are among the top faces of the company. And of course, if you are looking for a hint of realism, big guys triumph over small guys 9 times out of 10... they may have different styles, but those guys are big enough and strong enough to overwhelm many opponents... and combine that with their popularity and you have a credible threat to the more technically sound stable of The Syndicate. Afterall.. you don't fire your main stars just because you decide to take your promotion in a different direction creatively.
Sigilistic Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 Job rocky out first imho he has masses of overness just keep him happy with wins over other jobbers. And yes TCW starts with a slightly lopsided product job the ones out with too much overness compared to skill and you will be fine as enough talent in the mid/undercard or to be signed up. I've had Rocky wrestle in A matches, right out of the box before. Granted, it was with Wolf Hawkins with great chemistry, but he IS capable of putting in good matches with the right opponent. Just like the other ME faces. I think it's a huge mistake to job out Rocky Golden, or any other ME faces. They are capable of bringing the goods, especially RDJ. The good thing is that the top heels are all extremely capable workers, and able to carry the faces to decent matches until Minnesota, Peak, and Law are ME ready.
Hyde Hill Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 yeah but rocky can help make those guys ME ready by jobbing dont mean ultra jobber but jobber too the stars. And give Wolf, Hill, Anderson, Bach and the New Wave more overness too. Mainly dont send him to dev right of the start his overness is too juicy.
pepper2008 Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 If you want to make Wolf your next drama king, then give him a Goldberg push. If you want him to be grounded give him a much higher losing to winning ratio.

Afterall.. you don't fire your main stars just because you decide to take your promotion in a different direction creatively. I didn't say fire them. I said use them to build up more talented wrestlers, who in turn can then put on higher rated matches because of the performance/popularity mix, thereby making the TCW product more popular and making the TCW company a more viable competitor to SWF. I know everyone is free to play it however they want. But in my book, TCW is fighting for its survival against SWF. And the best way to not only compete, but ultimately win the war, is to position your best wrestlers into spots where they can put on the best matches possible. From a booking standpoint, its probably the most productive way to fight the SWF long term.
Antithesis Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 And the thing about jobbing out RDJ is, with his entertainment skills, he can still get much of his heat back from segments and feuds, even if does lose most of his high profile matches. When i said job him out, I didn't mean have mid carders beat him regularly. Losing, even cleanly, to another main eventer is not as big of a popularity hit that he can't overcome through creative booking. For example, I usually start my TCW games with a two month long program between Tommy and RDJ. So far I've never had bad chemistry between them (knock on wood). At the end of it, after Tommy has won the feud, RDJ is nearly as popular as he was before it started.

Wow, it's like if WCW had occasionally had Lex Luger in the main event!
NoNeck Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 Wow, it's like if WCW had occasionally had Lex Luger in the main event! :D:D
takertitan Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 i am 6 months in, RJD is still in my main event scene(A's) but has been replaced by rick law, eddie peak, joey, Jacked Jack(user character)... as the main faces. TCW once you get passed the whole "keep every show above B+" thing are quite easy.

cappyboy Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 I'm thinking he was quoting his owner goal. That B+ does sound like one TCW would have.
