Building worker's stats.

[Tom Bombadil]

I've often seen that putting people in matches with skilled workers helps them improve, but how exactly does it work? I try putting my green rookies in with talented vets, but I don't have much more success with that than the random matches that I put together without thinking about training.

 

Does this work for physical stats as well? I just got a toughness-related owner goal, and thusly have a lot of people to bump up a couple of points in that stat quickly.

<p>Physical stats improve with age - up to a point, anyway. If your guys are a long way off, or they're already past thirty, chances are they won't make it.</p><p> </p><p>

Great wrestlers are better teachers because they can bring people up to their level. Angry Gilmore's level is a lot higher than Ted Brady's, but if your project is Mark Smart or Fearless Blue, they can learn quite a lot from Brady to start with.</p>

<p>Except stamina. Dang you Brady, you weregoing to be my lynchpin in that game...</p><p> </p><p>

The point is to let the guys mimic, to a degree, who they're working with. Let's them know this is what brawling is or whatever.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

Also, if you want huge improvements fast...have your guys work a 4 hour show. Did that in SWF with Knuckles/Shady K vs. Kid Toma/Akima Brave. Saw...easily 5+ jumps in stats.</p><p> </p><p>

Granted, they're like dead now, but...</p>

I find that holding a battle royal with workers of all levels helps build up a developing workers stats. I hold a dark battle royal at every PPV for all my unused workers and I have them every once in a while on my TV show for workers that have not appeared in a while, in which I will throw in a few of my unused ring generals. It seems to be working well enough! I would not expect instant results and there may be better methods of improving skills but this is one way that is working for me.

I do this too. I do it both for worker development and for tag team development. I don't worry too much about the workers getting fatigued since I can just let them sit out until they're back in working condition. Plus, with a 20/40 product, (or a 5/0 one, with BSC), it takes A LOT of matches to really max a worker's fatigue out (approximately 20 ).

 

Basically Tom, it's chance based. You're not always going to get 5-12 points of improvement from a single match. Over time, you'll find it works out better but you don't always see it in the short term.
