shipshirt Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I'm playing a game with MAW (returning to my roots for any of you that ever read the old diaries ) and Rip has given me goals to make Casey Valentine and Antonio both B- in Momentum but the end of the term. I'm 7 mos. out from Antonio's deadline and 9 out from Casey's. The trouble is, I only have one person (Cameron Vessey) at a B in momentum. The rest of the main players are around the C and C+ level. Any suggestions on how to raise momentum in a Small promotion? It's not like these guys can have blow-away angles and matches yet. Any new debuts are going to be a C at best, due to the size of my company. Any suggestions? Right now the plan is to have Antonio beat Citizen X to get to C+ and then beat Vessey as he (Antonio) has recently turned face to help out Rip against The Firm. Down the road, if Vessey holds his momentum to at least B- I was going to break him and Valentine up...hopefull at the RCI tourney. Any suggestions/ideas on how to meet these goals?

James Casey Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Pray? Use trade deals to bring in expendable talents who can put your guys over in decent matches? Edit Sean McFly's contract so he's signed to you? Honestly, once I saw that I had that goal, I restarted my game in Free Style mode as I knew that I had no chance of hitting it - Momentum is something I've never mastered in my game, as one can see by the way I rarely have more than one guy on my 'Who's Hot' list Incidentally, do they have to reach the goal by or on the specified date? That is, is it enough for them to hit that goal at any point before the deadline expires? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyde Hill Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 its on the date. Plus apart from working agreement trades yo can steal non wrestler momentum in dark matches. Under normal circumstances its really an near impossibble goal for MAW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipshirt Posted February 22, 2009 Author Share Posted February 22, 2009 Ok, so it's not just my lackluster playing haha I think I can hit it with one of them. I can use Cameron's B in momentum and give it to the first person up (Antonio). Other than that, I'm outta luck...unless I can get Antonio to a B- for his "due date" and then have Casey beat him to get the B- for his two months later. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Derek B Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Use angles with Rip and Casey. Put them both in entertainment angles (without getting the over-use note as that penalises momentum) and you should see them both pull towards the rating of those angles each time, maybe even more. Plus, turns can help build momentum, so a good last minute trick for boosting momentum is to have a really successful turn just before the goal rolls in. I think it's doable, but it ain't gonna be an easy one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Casey Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 What's Rip's momentum? Maybe consider using him in segments with the guys, if it doesn't affect his momentum too much? I don't think the Momentum goals are critical, so if you pull off the others, Rip should be okay if you fail one or both - it's just that unless they have a high Destiny stat, they're unlikely to improve much. Certainly in every game I've play, neither seems to amount to anything (they're hamstrung in that regard by their loyalty to Rip. Imagine what a trip to Japan would do for Casey, or CGC for Antonio...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipshirt Posted February 22, 2009 Author Share Posted February 22, 2009 Rip is an E- in momentum lol I'll try some interview/angles and do what I was planning above. They are High but not Critical, so I think I'll still have a job It'll be fun to try! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish Wolf Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Hot Storylines will bring up momentum. If you use rip in a bunch of angles for a hot storyline the angle ratings will be high and thus momentum will be gained by those in the angle with him. So just run a nice tight storyline with Rip Antonio and Cameron with lot of good angles and you'll see they're momentum go up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Prime Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I got this goal for Johnny Martin and Chris Caulfield in my DaVE '97 game... Failed the first time. Then got it again. Barely scraped through with Martin, have yet to see Caulfield, but I doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thevampire Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 i can also suggest turning one of the workers face or heel that can bring some good new momentum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
