Derek B Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I've been playing ACPW multiple months and I have 2 observations that are bothering me. I hope you can help me figure out what I need to do to be relaxed. 1. They are a local company and have 3 titles(1 Main, 2 Midcard). Invariably a holder of the Midcard titles are Main Eventers. 2. They are a company that only hires LW and smaller workers. Therefore, I assumed I would need to run some High Spot based matches. However, the only High Spot matches in the database are Cult/International restricted. How would you specifically create a Local/Small style High Spot match? Now one other question. As ACPW, what style of matches would you run most if you didn't run High Spot based matches? Regular matches. Put two high flyers in a regular match and you get a high flying match. No need to go above and beyond that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Gordo Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 just a quick question, did i hear something about you could see the length of someone's hair in a rating somewhere? if so where do you find that? also can you order them to cut their hair outside of a hair match?

dubb93 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Do new workers only appear on the first day of a month? Reason I'm asking is I changed the new worker date to January 2010 and set the new worker frequency to "high" and I have yet to see a worker debut in the demo in two separate games(small sample size I know). EDIT -- Third sim and I see some enter on Feb. 1 so that basically answers my own question. Seems that I set it to low the first two sims on mistake.

Stennick Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I've been noticing in the dirt sheet that I was being penalized for match length. I thought this meant the workers in the match where out there for too long but apparently it means the match was too short. I went back through and edited my minor medium and major matches for television to lengths more fitting with my average time I give them. So a minor match for me lasts five minutes. If I book a match between low carders for five minutes will I still get the length penalty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAHJRB Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I have two questions. First, what is with all the MAW alumni heading to Canada? Second, after the Rip Chord Invitational I checked my finances and noticed that I had a Misc. expenditure of $24,000. What caused this? The only thing I added was a specialized set for $5,000. Surely this didn't have more hidden costs. I can't afford to lose that much money every month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I book a match between low carders for five minutes will I still get the length penalty? Better workers need longer matches to show off their skills. A long match is 30 minutes or so. However, there are a lot of match length penalties. Some include "too long for the workers given" "too long to work all out" "too short for a slow build" Also, your products "match length" is ONLY for the AI. If your expected match length is 5 minutes and you put on an hour long iron man, don't worry about fans being upset because you violated the product or anything. It's for AI use only. (but it doesn't make a good starting point if you're new to the product) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddyGarner Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I agree with the whole some workers need longer matches to show off their skills thing. Take a short Shawn Michaels or Ric Flair match, kind of boring because they'd just use the same spots they always use but in a long match they have an opportunity to use their excellent performance skills. I have gotten a: (+)This match was a really good squash My guess is that a good squash needs some power or something(I got it with Vengeance against Cheetah Boy IIRC).

FINisher Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 It actually has a lot to do with the Gimmicks. I really suggest that you'd read the Help file or even the Dev. Journal from start to finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaxxHexx Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Anyone notice the increased talent trade difficulty? Working as MAW I have not been able to get any deals set in stone, this includes with APW and 4C, I could not get a single person on my roster to not have the "x promotion is not interested in using y wrestler". Is this because of that workers overness in that area or another external factor? Edit-I was able to get trades with WEXXV, FCW, and CZCW through some more testing. It would appear the talent trade problem was not promotion type, as none of these are similar to MAW, and the other notes I got about trades not bing equal still leaves a mystery as to the reason for promotions lacking interesting in my workers.

Derek B Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Question: What is power used for beyond gimmicks? It is factored into match ratings and will slightly improve matches the stronger someone is (since they can do more), along with also having an influence on the destiny stat at start up. I'm sure it does more than that too, but Adam would have to confirm/deny that himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobe1724 Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 What sort of personality does a worker have to have to compete in a match with "very high" content risk? Even when I make a wrestler have no religion and maximum liberalness they still decline to do very high content risk matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gigas Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 So is there any way to stop getting the match length penalty? longer matches. Or shorten the match length in the product. Its not just for the computer anymore. It seems USPW treats its ladies like main eventers, so if you have 16 minute ME matches, they want the women out there for 16 minutes.

Stennick Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Make shorter matches. Thats the problem is my matches are too short so I was trying to find a way to not get the penalty without increasing match time because then I get the "you've left Captain USA in the ring for too long penalty" a damned if ya do damned if ya don't sorta thing its feeling. I get a penalty for USA being in the match too long or I get a penalty for the match being too short. longer matches. Or shorten the match length in the product. Its not just for the computer anymore. It seems USPW treats its ladies like main eventers, so if you have 16 minute ME matches, they want the women out there for 16 minutes. I see no evidence that USPW treats their women division any differently than any other promotion does. Storyline wise it may be important but in reality it all has to do with their overness. The game doesn't want you putting to workers out there with D- overness for 16 minutes in a cult promotion so I think you might be wrong on this.

Doesnt matter who the women are. You do get a penalty for putting them out there for 16 minutes, but you get the same penalty for putting them out there for less than 16. I had to lower the main match time to 12 minutes to avoid any penalties. They treat all womens matches as main matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
