The Shape Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Yeah that's the logical answer, although his pre-push as a road agent and low starting momentum in my game mean I might wait a while, make it a bigger deal when he shows, maybe to oust commissioner doom so that they can do an authority figure/road agent switcheroo xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benrollo Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 I use him in occasional angles but not really that regular - maybe once every two shows. Maybe I could be using him more, but I've just never felt inclined to really. Sgt Bubba Lee West has really surprised me, I thought he'd be a decent acquisition but he's pulling off pretty good match ratings in most of his matches. Still a lower midcarder, he got a B- in a loss against Chris Caulfield and also a B- in a middle of the card throwaway match against Java. Might try and elevate him a bit higher up the card, maybe even feud him with World champ Enygma. Who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Shape Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Bringing in the obvious big characters like Wood and the Samoans, and I'm gonna sign Champagne Lover but just looking at the dude, it always seems too easy. Then again at least the mexican heartthrob thing is something different, I really can't bring myself to sign DWN as he'd be great, but wouldn't fit right now IMO xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benrollo Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Wouldn't Champagne Lover be one of the people who as soon as he gets pretty over would be signed away by one of the big two? I've never really bothered with him for that reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Shape Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 We'll see, hopefully I can get him on a written or keep his overness down for now. Started this file a while ago so can't remember what I gave myself abilities in lol. First show got a C and a success note, game plan needs refining a bit but basically it's gonna involve a lot of inter-gender midcard tag matches so the girls can train up the boys, a lot of monsters beating on lower card good guys, and a lot of Nicky Champion saving the little men. Hopefully I can spread around some overness and skills fairly quickly xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaded Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Sounds like good USPW booking for me, Shape. Dominate note is DEFINITELY your friend, btw. Love triangles can get good ratings as well - who could fail to mark out for Cherry and Alicia fighting to become Miss Forcemaniac?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully I can spread around some overness and skills fairly quickly xD If the product is like it is at the start, with women's wrestling set as 'division' rather than 'integrated', are the crowd fine with mixed tag matches? I always assumed they wouldn't like man on women violence unless it was integrated. Excellent if it's fine to do that though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't get any complaints, six man tag with Raven, Datsun & Davids vs. Towers of Power & Bryden got a C-, not too bad given their overness. Got Wood, Umaga and Machine on PPA deals, only 9 months but I guess with PPAs length doesn't really matter...right? xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benrollo Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Ooh, will definitely give that a go! Funny how 4 out of my 5 'talk the talk' people, as well as 3 out of 5 of my 'ring generals' on the Creative Meeting screen are women, haha. And I only have 6 of em!

BUT 2) Signing a new contract makes people happy. The shorter the contracts the more often you get a boost to their morale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Shape Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Oh baby. Decided to re-start after seeing what my user talents were, this time pumped a lot into negotiation, took a couple off motivation, made creativity just above the middle and left only a couple in leadership, as there's plenty of good personalities coming in soon anyway. Champagne Lover is now on a written deal for a good few years =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gigas Posted February 19, 2010 Author Share Posted February 19, 2010 Yeah, I wont start a game without an 8 in negotiations. Its awesome. Leadership? Bah, who needs leadership. Just sign Sara Marie York and Amber Allen for the Womens Division, Champagne Lover, Samoan Machine and Ekuma for the mens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benrollo Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Intergender tag matches are a godsend! Also, just come into May and 9 out of my top 10 matches involve Enygma! Guess I suppose I'll have to keep the title on him a bit longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benrollo Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Hi my name's Dr. Double Post. Just coming up to the end of May, my TV show has one more episode but I've chosen not to renew it, as I'm gonna negotiate (and with my popularity as it is should succeed) with a medium sized network in August, as the current network is small sized. I can go without a TV show for a couple of months, just need to put on a few good PPVs and I'm sorted. Got Sgt Bubba Lee West facing off with Sam Strong at the next PPV. It's Strong's first match for me, I don't want him to be an active wrestler but once in a while is fine. Should be interesting. Strong will no doubt block me trying to get him to put Bubba over though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marko Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 I tried starting a Uspw game with max negotiating skills but new workers are still refusing to sign to written contracts, is i also made sure the financial balance of the company was in excess of 10m I have played this promotion before in earlier versions and loved it but its hard building guys up only to have them go elsewhere whilst also having to deal with the pop for guys like Giant who will leave because he feels he is too big for a cult promotion. Would be grateful for any advice. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benrollo Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Regarding Bruce The Giant - when I first started my game he had just over a month left on his contract so, figuring he wouldn't re-sign, I jobbed him out a bit. Then the day before his contract was due to expire, Sam Strong re-signs him to a two year written deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not then jack up all the perks until you get some good personalities in, should help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In order for you to sign guys to USPW one of their friends should be in the promotion already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Shape Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 No, myself and others here have had success bringing guys on writtens with 8 points and upwards in negotiation, so maxing it out should work unless something else is stopping it. Champagne Lover, the Samoans, all those guys, don't know anyone there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davis Wayne Newton is another very good pick-up in terms of in-ring talent AND improving backstage atmosphere, btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benrollo Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 SWF just signed T-Rex away from me and now TCW have signed Sgt Bubba Lee West. They were at A and B overness across USA respectively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marko Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 The workers I tried were champange, handsome stranger and I think prudence, I should add this was straight away in the game even before any events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marko Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 I checked Adams journal and it mentions the backstage area criteria and being early in the game it is pretty poor but at least I know which areas to work on, just got to find a way to stop giant getting too over that he won't job as his creative control is an issue. I have a idea though for valentine, anger and redwood as going to have them form a stable where they cause mayhem in Order to try and keep their spots valentine as a maniac putting himself through tables etc and the other two beating up individuals via menace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Shape Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 If you amp up the backstage perks until you've got some guys like Samoan Machine, Larry Wood, Sara Marie York etc then you can turn them off and it should all be sorted. Not sure about with Bruce though, overness and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
