Mattywood Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Shane Douglas says he began wrestling professionally in 1982. So he will be one of the young prospects in the free agent market. Did not know this. Learn something new everyday. Keeping up with this thread and Mammoth's 1970 thread has been a help for my mod-making. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His bio though wrongfully claims he won WWF Television title on his official site. When it was the UWF TV title in reality. By the way there for some reason two Sean Royals in my database so make sure to fix it before import him.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alvarasus Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 I think I have ran hundred sims on this mod and never before has Hulk Hogan won the AWA World Heavyweight title until just now. It seems the Sika problem has been solved. Which if nobody knows Sika usually ended up winning the WWF Title or IC belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alvarasus Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share Posted July 2, 2014 Central States and St.Louis Wresting Club have been merged together. To be honest this gives them one of the best rosters in wrestling. Cuban Assassin is not on the CState roster any longer. Bruiser Brody has five companies he works for including now Georgia and Central States. Another big change is Wahoo McDaniel was strictly working for the AWA at this time. So I removed his contract from Mid-Atlantic. Every promotion has monthly show and weekly show that runs. So that pretty much brings the events in editor down. Events have been brought down to 82. Tito Santana is only working for Georgia at this time so his contract with WWF has been removed.

alvarasus Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share Posted July 2, 2014 New Japan has me vastly confused because their touring company who didn't take a single month off. They literally ran shows every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaysin Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Just set them to run five months at a time with a month off between tours. That way they're running shows almost all year. It's the only way to really do it. I generally set my touring dev companies to tour January through May, off in June, and then July through November, and off again in December.

darkfire423 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 That's what I am going to end up doing. ECWA is also strange it claims to been around since 1967 but their is no record for any shows until 1994. Or you can scrap the crap tour system. It is broken and prolly will never be addressed correctly. Its really hard to explain. but here is the gyst. G1-Climax is NJPW biggest tour. They will run 14 shows for this tour Capped by The Final of G-1. Now these 14 show will be only have 4 or 5 non contacted NJPW workers. Weather they are Gajin or not. Then 3 of the non contracted guys tend to be freelance Japanese workers (IE Minoru Suzuki, Katsuyori Shibata, etc), So you are looking at really only 2 at the most Non-Contracted non-japanese NJPW workers. But here is where I really hate the tour system. Little different in 1983 but not much. Really NJPW should have the 14 shows are basically house shows, to small shows. Basically in 3 weeks of the tour I as a player of NJPW should book 14 shows including a large tour blow off show. because really while they are house shows they are shows that should be booked. NJPW has basiclly a tour 12 months a year however takes 2 week breaks sometimes between tours. Tour ends say on June 20th, next tour start july 8th. Don't get me started on if on post show press conferences that the WWE are trying to simulate but fail to take in that they are real press conferences with real reporters / sports desk of all the top Japan news papers and broadcast companies. TEW doesnt sim japan well at all. So many tweeks that would take a lot changes to handle japan correctly. I mean ootp took 15 to finally do Indie Baseball Leagues. I stopped caring about most American Wrestling about 10 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alvarasus Posted July 5, 2014 Author Share Posted July 5, 2014 Just ran two week test run. It's looking good so far after 200 matches only one match was rated A match and that was between Wahoo and Nick Bockwinklel. Which I take that as a good sign considering Japan and Mid-Atlantic was notorious for throwing A matches in the last update. Plus not one A rated show yet either.

alvarasus Posted July 6, 2014 Author Share Posted July 6, 2014 When this version is released I am going to open a new thread. So it doesn't get lost in the shuffle. I am down to 109 workers needing to be done their yet to debut guys, but all the active guys are done. So far the test runs are giving me similar results so that's good. Now the fun part looking at 3428 title histories to make sure there right. Workers went down to 2416 which I think is manageable number for everyone.

Mattywood Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Can't wait for this. Getting to play as World Class while David Von Erich and Gino Hernandez are both still alive! How are the angle segments doing as far as grades go after factoring in lifestyle habits, and have you scaled them down compared to old mods of the past such as Golden Age?

How are the angle segments doing as far as grades go after factoring in lifestyle habits, and have you scaled them down compared to old mods of the past such as Golden Age? Matt I have all lifestyles set to 0 in the game for almost every wrestler. Just finished a year long sim and to say the results are interesting to say the least. Hulk Hogan is AWA World Champion. Harley Race is WWF World Champion and shockingly Terry Gordy is the NWA Word Champion. Rick Martel is the number one wrestler in the world. I never knew stats could go up and down and back up for some wrestlers. All Japan is making money there is only two promotions I am worried about and that is UWA and CMLL both are bleeding money. I think it is that their both cult and have lot of their guys on written is the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is that their both cult and have lot of their guys on written is the problem. Have you checked UWA's and CMLL's starting money? That could be an issue, especially with both companies having sizeable rosters. Do even guys such as Gino Hernandez, Jake Roberts, Scott Hall, the Von Erichs, etc, have their lifestyles set at 0? If so, is it because of the fact that workers can develop bad habits in the game even if set at 0? Kinda like what happened in my 1988 game save where Kit Carson, who has zero law problems starting off, got busted for theft and now has 40% law problems. I've set the aforementinoed guys at low lifestyles (I think 10 might be the highest I've set with those guys), but will see how things work out with test runs. I at least wanted to set the guys who were notorious for their habits, but not over the top to where it would drag their grades down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Matt even the Von Erichs and Gino are set at 0 and the reason because to be honest I can't honestly say Tully had less coke habit than Gino.

Works for me. Like I said, I've seen workers set at zero develop bad habits over time, so I personally don't have a problem with this. And I agree with your reasoning. Back then, damn near EVERYBODY was on coke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I agree with your reasoning. Back then, damn near EVERYBODY was on coke. I agree I think it's funny that in one mod Kerry Von Erich is set at 60 hard drugs. Roddy Piper is set at 0 which is bunch of BS. How in the hell can you put Hogan at 30 steroids and justify Kerry Von Erich at 80 steroids. It just people playing favorites. Dick Slater is another one never had law problem until his incident with his girlfriend but in certain mods he has 70 law problems. Come on now seriously the guy was out of the business when it happened. I don't see modders putting Chris Benoit at 100 for law problems. He actually killed someone.

Mattywood Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Obviously I can only speak for myself and can't speak for others, but I try my best not to play favorites. If I was, I wouldn't be giving any lifestyle issues to my favorite wrestlers. Even then, I've tried to bring them down to 5-10%, maybe more if the situation warranted it. And I didn't know that about Dick Slater, him not having law problems till he was out of the business. I've gone ahead and fixed that in my own mod. I still have him ticked for drinking and hard drugs, but very low. Besides, Dick Slater's personality can always come into play for him going off the deep end. One of the few guys I can think of that I have rated higher on lifestyles is Mike Von Erich, but by January 1985, it was well known he was having issues.

Yeah I heard interview with Slater while back where he cleared things up. Pretty much hospital gave him shitload of drugs then released him and he attacked his girlfriend. Before that he had not been in trouble, he was crippled pretty much from what I understand. I agree by 1985 Mike Von Erich was screwed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
