Rayelek Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Is it just me, or is this promotion totally stacked? Outside of having to do clean finishes, I can't find a thing wrong with these guys. Even their young guys are some of my favorites (Erik Strong, Flash, The Fighting Irish). Can't wait to sign Edd away from TCW and bring him in as a heel to form the Awesome Alliance!!!

LoNdOn Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 From what I have seen. NOTB put on the best cards and matches in the entire C-Verse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teh_Showtime Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 they were really stacked with Duane but Jr Bloodstone Jeremy and McFly DeColt and Dark Angel rivals PGHW in 08 for most talented main event Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sadisstik Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 I ran a bigger promotion in Canada and warred with NOTBW just so I could crush them and then buy them out. When I had the Stones, DeColt, McFly combined with the guys I already had I was putting on B+, A- shows every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Edwards Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 I always try and get all the Decolts in NOTBPW i think the ower is the only one that doesn't leave until you buy them out so i can have the DeColts vs the Stones Storyline. I 08 i made my own local promotion and got it all the way to national just as TCW and SWF both feel to cult i signed all the best talent they released and any time one of the Decolts or stones contracts where running out i and sign them. I use all those stars to raise me to globle in just a few years after getting to national Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skywalker1976 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 NOTBPW is by far my most favourite promotion in North America. The only challenge I see is that all of the main eventers are either already on the decline or are going to start declining in the next 1-2 years. So the challenge for me is if I am able to build some young main eventers to step in after guys like Jeremy Stone, McFly and Dark Angel are done. Also I am in march 2010 and in two month McFlys's and Dan Jr.'s contracts are going to run out. Any chance they will resign, or shall I already use them to get others more over?

Try to bring their pop down to a B or B-. Then you can resign them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had Dan Jr at 100 pop - or at least REALLY close - and Dan Sr resigned him himself. On a ridiculously low written contract of under $10,000 a month, about half as much as RK Hayes!

Blackman Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 how can you get written contracts with them? Can you? I'm playing as NOTB right now and can't seem to get it to work. No'in new since you need to be national normally, but I wondered since everyone in NOTBPW starts out with a written contract. Then the idea of having a dev camp for your promotion is kinda pointless if you can't sign anyone to a written deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-619 Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I am currently in the end of May in my game, just gave Dan Stone Jr the belt after a three way with him, DeColt and Jeremy. It's pretty easy to get great cards, but in a good way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the meen time, send down a couple of your less talented guys who are on written deals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just got Sally Anne Christianson, Julian Watson, Harlem Haynes and Flash down there right now. It's pretty awesome watching their stats go up, Flash has improved in pretty much every area very significantly in the last 5 months or whatever it's been, Watson and Haynes have also improved alot.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackman Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 And how does that work? Do they have matches with the 4 of them? Does the camp hire other talent for them to work with? Or do their stats just improve? Does it matter if you pick the lowest possible size (low local), or does that affect the stats too? The logical answer would be no, but it might affect AI roster size and stuff. I'll try it out when I get into the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it works as a normal promotion and they have matches against other workers that the AI hires... It's also owned by Larry Wood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gigas Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Dev feds develop workers regardless of if they hold matches or not. And its easy to sign guys to written deals in NOTBPW. At least Ive never had a problem but I start with an 8 in negotiating. Anyone with C pop or so should sign a written relatively easily assuming Sr doesnt block it. (Only willing to offer 11k, guy wants $12k) But guys like Jacob Jett, Mainstream, Davis Wayne Newton, maybe even the Gauges would sign writtens.

Gigas Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 It would surprise me. I love the negotiating skill for the USPWs and NOTBPWs of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackman Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Oh nice to know. I guess I'll max out the negotiating skill (I had 6) and the motivation skill. The NOTBPW locker room doesn't need leadership anyway, it's already at like 150% or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skywalker1976 Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I have to say I failed with NOTBPW (btw. could a mod rename this thread as the promotion is spelled wrong and people might have problems when searching this thread). Dan Jr. and McFly left my company after six month when their written contracts were running out and even getting them down to B- in pop they would not resign. Without these two performers gone my cards went from being B+ cards to B- cards and most of the events hurting our popularity... I think NOTBPW is not easy to play as the expectations are for them to hit national until the end of 2010.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everlong_ Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Did anyone manage to keep their TV slot with CBN? Spent 6 points at negotiating but there seems to be no chance to keep the prime time slot or the 90%/80% cost/revenue-split. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
