Gigas Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 I dont see a thread dedicated to USPW yet and Im sure its going to be one of the most popular feds with their Main Eventers. Im curious how people are going to work the 2 midcard titles. Retire one title? Have a unification match? Just work with both and have the National title be the midcard PPV and the TV title strictly tv? I thought about setting the National title to floating so it could possibly replicate the IC title of the late 80s WWF. Also interested in the way people are going to book Giant/Caufield and Justice/T-Rex with their popularity gaps. Are you going to have the upset wins to put over Caufield and T-Rex? The most promising storyline USPW has seems to be the easiest one to book as well, that being Enygma and Tyson Baine. Some must signs for me are Sara Marie York due to her great personality and star quality. Shes also an amazing worker. She might get overlooked for J-Ro, but shes my girl. Ant-man is also a must sign as a youngster who can job up the card and eventually be used to body slam all the huge guys on the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comradebot Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 I'll say this... If you can't get T-Rex's popularity close to Justice's via their feud, then maybe USPW isn't for you. He has massive SQ, massive Menace, and is feuding with one of the most popular and charismatic workers in the company? Sounds to me like T-Rex, even in losing, could easily use the feud to turn into a top superstar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gigas Posted January 24, 2010 Author Share Posted January 24, 2010 With the domination note T-Rex shoots right up in fame anyway. The whole roster does since its all brute gimmicks with monsters. Its really an easy fed to play. Ive had problems getting Caufield over though, and Enygma hasnt really improved on his fame. Tyson, Bruce, T-Rex and Nicky Champion, Savage Fury can just squash match their way up to A pop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-619 Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 He does have massive SQ and menace but he is still horrible in the ring, I used him in my TEW08 SWF game and he did get over with time but he would always get bad comments for his matches. I just started a USPW game and retired the National title though it does sound like a good idea to set it to floating I really want to try that at some point.

Remianen Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 He does have massive SQ and menace but he is still horrible in the ring, I used him in my TEW08 SWF game and he did get over with time but he would always get bad comments for his matches. No offense but you can't compare 2010 to 08 with regard to T-Rex. In 08, the entire menace/domination based mechanic does not exist so the comparison is invalid. So what he's not that good in the ring? A handful of menace based angles and squash matches and how he is in the ring becomes completely irrelevant. I've de-emphasized the National title (basically made it the Peter Valentine Reason to Exist title) and made the TV title the top midcard one. I let Valentine beat lower midcarders and below for title defenses (and often in dark time). I tend to bring in Sara Marie, J.Ro, and Melody Cuthill and often turn the product to integrated, with the women's title as floating. I built up Alicia once and put the world title on her and she held it for 2 years (because she wouldn't give it up. Creative control sucks) before I ditched the save (luckily I had an excuse - new beta version). I've had rotten luck with Justice. In two straight saves, his contract comes up within 2 years and SWF steals him. Not that big a deal except for the morale and promotion hits.

Donners Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 I was strugging to find a fed to manage (I used to play with DAVE, but they no longer exist, apparently), and had several failures before I settled on USPW. The really low danger/intensity was off-putting at first, but it seems reasonably easy to get good ratings. The only thing I don't like is that most of your roster is on written contracts, but you can't sign new people to them. That tells me that the roster will be switching to PPA over a year or so until I can push up to National, which is always annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bolton Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 USPW is epic. Who can go wrong with Anger, Giant Redwood, Jim Force and Peter Valentine anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d_w_w Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Now if only BSS was there, we could have the perfect promotion! Absolutely.

Candyman Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 USPW is my favorite fed. I always have my longest games with them. The National title will become the Peter Valentine title for me. I love the fact that he has his own title, I wish I would've thought of that in 08. He's never going to lose it. Well, not until Sam Strong retires and I can release him, anyway. Sgt Bubba Lee West is always my among my first hires with USPW. Pairing him with Commissioner (Corporal) Doom just makes too much sense not to do it. And of course I sign the usual women, Sara Marie, J Ro...I'm sad I can't bring in Lauren Easter anymore. I'm kind of curious to see how a Painful Procedure reunion will do in USPW.

GruntMark Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 So...Im in to booking USPW. Just finished Stars, Stripes and Slams. I went with Justice over T-Rex. I want Justice back in the title picture right now. And Rex is easy enough to rebuild. Went with Bruce over Caulflield. Have other plans for Chris, and Bruce Vs Enygma Vs Justice I think sets up better. Enygma of course retained against Baine. Im kinda digging Jim Force. He is pulling respectle ratings in segments. Matches still kinda suck. I want to kill Peter Valentine. So far Im resisting the urge to book tons of squashes. Seems too easy. Going more the Comradebot route and using menance segments.

Never brought in Bubba Lee before, but some of the various owner goals left me without my regular cannon fodder (Ota and Flash primarely), so he has a home with me now. Interested to see how he does.

BHK1978 Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 I'm kind of curious to see how a Painful Procedure reunion will do in USPW. To me this is what USPW should be all about, they are the trash heap of the C-Verse where you can bring in Painful Procedure, The Big Problem, and The Nation of Filth. Thank you Candyman for the good idea, my next USPW game will have Painful Procedure in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Star Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 I don't have much experience with the C-Verse stuff, I've done SWF a lot, and a few TCW games, but all others have been me making my own promotions. All other games have been real-world mods, and they usually last the longest, who doesn't like The Miz being WWE Champion? Lets see how I do with USPW in the demo. I'll let you guys know.

I hope you like it as they can be really fun to play as. If you don't like them try CZCW, that is my other personal favorite C-Verse promotion.

echrisl Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 So I'm up to the start of August 2010 in my USPW game, and I'm wondering if anyone's gotten USPW to national in their game yet. How does the national battle shape up usually? I'm a bit nervous about the prospect, especially since I no longer have James Justice (dead). On the bright side, I do have a working agreement with TCW, so if I can top SWF I should be in pretty good shape ... Also, NOTBPW is looking pretty scary (at national already and putting on insanely good matches). They haven't really raided me yet, but with more people on PPA all the time, I'm getting nervous about the prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

takertitan Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I am 5 months in doing what i normally do with uspw. Built my main stairs up(bruce, james, t-tex, tyson all above A across the states). Mid card is my next assignment, but i got raided as i built up the kieth boys to D+ across the states in tag team action. The also happened to take Mainstream so his team with Kirk was also gone. I switched the titles to Franky Preze and whats his name parter before the brothers left in hopes of they would get a boost, but the match sucked. My tag division is not lost, but i am glad i kept tirbal guys and hillbilly's to keep things going. Doing the DX style main event run now with the title while i find something to keep things going with the force and champion vs tyson and T. Singles wise, doing what alot of people do. Keep Peter V in 3 way matches after my angle opener and a tag match. the match always blows but it helps build guys i don't have time to use more. champagne lover is being build up as my new face behind nick champion of course still. still have not found heel wrestler yet to main event besides the mosters, another task for me i guess. In closing i guess my one suggestion is if your going for a long game with them, don't be afraid to use the tag now. Its not doing nearly as bad as 08. before the keith brothers left, my tag matches where turning in solid C+ matches vs most of the face teams. GOD i hate SWF!@@##!!@!$$%!@(*!~!

LucianCarter Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Singles wise, doing what alot of people do. Keep Peter V in 3 way matches after my angle opener and a tag match. You do realize that just because you put an angle on first it doesn't mean that your first match is any less important than it would be if it were on before the angle?

He didn't get that angry at me for firing Redwood. I fired Redwood after he had the balls to pick a fight with Bruce. YOU DONT PICK FIGHTS WITH THE TOP DOGS IN THE COMPANY. I keep Danny around (despite him being furious) only because he has great chemistry with Sara Silver and Queen Emily at the announce booth, but I might can him anyway as I just managed to sign Mitch!
