LoganRodzen Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 This new feature is EPIC in my opinion. I've wanted upgrades to how relationships and personalities affect the game. This adds a lot of realism to the game as well. Getting Davis Wayne Newton in your promotion is no longer an option (I always sign him), he's a must have now. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxMoon Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 <p>Locker room morale is one of the new additions that I am most looking forward to.</p><p> Not that the game is too easy right now (not for me at least), but this kind of complexity that brings more life to the people and more challenging decisions is very appealing to me.</p><p> </p><p> So far, I have not seen any new features I did not like, so Adam pretty much sold me a copy of the game at the first journal entry... Awesome!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipshirt Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 A terrific feature and the upcoming features stemming from this has me intrigued. Anything that adds more to playing than "find wrestlers that work well together and have matches" is a huge plus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddyGarner Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Big Smack Scott is not that bad as long as you don't try to get him off the roids. I already tried to hire all the locker room leaders in 08 including T.M.A. and Ultra Violence. Maybe it'll be possible to search for them and also people like Melody Cuthill and Kurt Laramee who have neutral traits like naive or hesitant that keep them from being LRL's but are good for making friends. Hopefully now though I can try to poison people's locker rooms so people like Yuma Maruya and Toshiharu Hyobanshi want to leave... This is a great feature but I don't get how people are acting like it's brand new... I mean people like Hannah Potter and Mayal Idol are more likely to develop drug problems and stuff. Are you saying that I should be playing 2008 like there's no regard for the locker room? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dPro Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Love this new feature! And it's gonna fit my philosophy perfect. I always hire Rolling Johnny Stones as a Joe Jobber just because of his personality. "Perfectly Harmonious" is important to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praguepride Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 No, we're saying that the locker room is about to become more important. Yeah. The occasional incident and a little bit off poor luck could cause some minor set backs (scolding a guy moments before it's time to try and rehire him) but otherwise it didn't have nearly the impact that Adam is talking about. Backstage stuff effecting in-ring performance is definitely new, and remember how everyone was talking about how "leadership" didn't seem that much of an important trait in the user character? Well, now we've been given our answer. I imagine that people who currently disregard morale are going to be in for a rude awakening when suddenly their top guys start blowing matches or even no-showing when they're supposed to be headlining! Remember how frustrating it was in' 08 when the guy you've been pushing for months is about to enter the PPV headline for the world title and doesn't show up?

wrestlingfan1 Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Love this new feature, hopefully it will spawn one of my suggestions I made O So Long ago, to bring back the random wrestler messages. For example: 1) You have new mail from Road Warrior Hawk. ( open mail ) I think you should hire Road Warrior Animal. He is a good friend of mine and I think he would be a good addition to the roster here. 2) You have new mail from Ric Flair. ( open mail ) I don't think you should hire Hulk Hogan. I hate him and don't think he would add much to our locker room. And that of course leads to... 3) You have urgent mail from Ric Flair. ( open mail ) I can't believe you ignored me and hired Hulk Hogan anyway. One of us has to go. {Ric Flairs morale has took a serious hit as a result of hiring Hulk Hogan} Not to mention that this feature alone adds so much to the game, for me atleast. I've always strived for and usually attained a " Perfectly Harmonious " locker room but never seen any benefits from it. From what I've seen of Adam's responses to suggestions that were made he is a fan/stickler of features that have both positives and negatives, so hopefully those of us that worked to keep the "boys in the back" happy will be rewarded and not just see things go awry when we don't. On a side note it would be cool to see personalities change... For example having several " locker room leaders" could cause a clash of ego (even from those that aren't egomanical by nature) and force you to choose between the two warring parties or see a split in the locker room.

I like it, although your example in current times remains to be a bit out of whack;), as Flair didn't seem to have a problem working and losing to Hogan at all. With the new backstage challenges and such, I think people are going to have to be carefull with relationships and exactly what each one effects.

Krazy Killian Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 I love this feature it could be AWESOME! Even more so if they make certain ways of creating relationships. E.g say we have a JBL type character who no one really likes, is selfish and driven and you put a younger worker over him like an Evan Bourne. He goes off it not at you but at Bourne and bullies him creating backstage tension. Or just tries to bully new people all the time like he did with the Hardy Boyz when they first joined. I'm sure this happened with the WWE where there was someone who was stealing from Kennedy's bags (everyone knew it was Holly) so Triple H (Locker room leader) said that if he heard about anyone doing that again he would make sure they never make in the WWE and I quote "because I have that power". Everyone went on the straight and narrow. Good vs Bad in locker room I'm practically at climax... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Kane Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 A shoot interview with Triple H? Because otherwise it's heresay and conjecture. [offtopic] 90% of everything said or seen in the wrestling industry on or off camera is heresay, conjecture or simply illusion... as i understand it the line he is talking about was reported by most the major web based dirt sheets as been something that was said infront of most of the talent in the locker room that night, it was later 'confirmed' to have happened by Ken Anderson and to some extent Bob Holly himself in their respective RF Video Shoots since the incident in question was regarding both of them. In anycase regardless of them saying it went down, like anything with wrestling you need to take what is given and read bettwen the lines of all sides offered and make your own mind up on how the dust lays... thats all we ever have to go on... and its rare we have 2 people who no longer have anything to lose by telling the truth 'confirm' such a story in a shoot interview (even when said people both hate each other)... i think the story he was talking about is about as close as legit as possible for any wrestling news story, as such his example is valid in my book.

Moe Hunter Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 I've got no problem with him telling a story as "here's what is reported to have happened". It's the part where he "quotes" a third hand source that I take isue with. It's simply not a quote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stennick Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 YES, I just had a feeling that Adam and company would release this game in January. Looking forward to playing this game in three weeks. Hopefully that means we're reaching a climax for some of the "bigger" new features. It seems like this locker room morale one is already and is about to be an even bigger deal so hopefully that trend continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
