Hashasheen Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Yeah I think so. Just shows I dont know what Im talking about - just my opinion. Brandon Smith - yes. I love an ass-kicking face in USPW (Ekuma would be great too). I'm not sold on the others TBH. They seem a bit serious for the company. Steven Harper is working a Sting/Muta gimmick as Engyma's protege versus James Justice and his "dude!" protege Donnie Jackson. Ernest is going to start working in the dark show as Standing Bull, before I go for joining with the Sneer Corporation to push him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about playing with regionality off and going for a few international faces? Ive seen an alt of Echo as Enygma 2 somewhere. The alt of Scheming Behemoth as Dr Doom (to go with Jim Force or Sam Strong as Capt USA and a Hulk) Haiti Voodude as a Baron Samedi type Danny Patterson Nightmare Captain Wrestling II The Melbourne Blondes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiquidSwords Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 A question I have always had is how did USPW manage to get popular enough to challenge SWF and TCW? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Editor6 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Sam Strong taking over, a couple of big-name signings (Enygma, James Justice, some others I'm forgetting) and Nicky Champion's rise to the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd also say USPW's "family friendliness" appears to be serving a significant demographic. Older wrestling fans may not care for the directions SWF or TCW have taken and don't feel comfortable taking their kids to those shows. Likewise, in an increasingly complex and globalized world, USPW's nostalgic appeal to good old-fashioned American patriotism may be helping to buoy them to a point where they can reasonably challenge "The Big Two."

Dalnath Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I think USPW's rise is quite unrealistic. Even with Sam Strong's popularity, they clearly don't have the roster to compete with SWF and TCW seeing as how they always drop to cult after the first month.

I think that's more an issue with the AI then anything deeper lying; the AI has a tendency to book shows that are based around putting on good matches, which will never be USPW's strength (hence NOTBW regularly getting ratings in the high 90's). Even with popularity meaning more than performance USPW isn't going to have great matches in and of themselves; it's the storylines and angles (which the AI uses poorly) which make it. A well-booked player promotion that sticks to the USPW principles can relatively easily successfully compete with and eventually surpass SWF and TCW. The AI just isn't good at doing it.

Teh_Showtime Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I think USPW's rise is quite unrealistic. Even with Sam Strong's popularity, they clearly don't have the roster to compete with SWF and TCW seeing as how they always drop to cult after the first month. It's not about their roster because their company is largely based around characters. Think about WWF in the early and mid 90s. They had some good workers (just like USPW has a select few) but most of the roster was mediocre at best in terms of actual wrestling ability. The things their rosters do have though are bigger, musclebound wrestlers with mass appeal (star quality) together with some entertaining workers and some menacing workers that make the angles (in their angle based companies) pretty good.

rufas2000 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 <p>Has anyone tried to edit USPW's angle to match ratio to see if the AI can book it any better (or that at least the grade will be higher because whatever angles they do have will count more)?</p><p> </p><p> Or does it not work that way for AI feds.</p><p> </p><p> If it does I'd do 60% or even 70% angles to see if the AI can do a better job with it.</p><p> </p><p> I want to compete against AI feds that usually do the right thing.

LiquidSwords Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 I changed USPW's match ratio to 40% and the A.I. was doing a lot better. In some games they beat SWF and TCW to win the national battle at the start of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CQI13 Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Of the many games I've done and restarted, I've only had USPW win once, and it was by a decimal point really (both USPW & TCW had the highest rated show as the same number, but I guess USPW was marginally better). They immediately get a second TV show (probably a B show). Trying to find a good way to book the first month, but I'm getting used to doing 5 shows a month.

I do agree with both of you guys in that USPW is more about larger than life characters rather than wrestling talent but I find it a bit strange how they're thrown in a national battle that they are almost always going to lose. I feel like they should have started the game at cult because they're not quite ready to take on SWF and TCW. They still need time to grow and develop. I just finished the first month of my new USPW game and despite my best efforts, I still dropped to cult. Best show I had was rated 83 while SWF got an 84 and TCW got an 85. My angle ratings were great, Sam Strong (who I put in at least 2 angles per show), James Justice, Nicky Champion, Enygma and Tyson Baine can all easily pull off ratings over 80, and in Sam's case over 90 but the match ratings dragged down my shows. Even when you use your best in ring talent it's still really hard to pull off good enough matches. My best match was Jumbo Jackson & Mick Muscles vs. Nicky Champion & Enygma which scored 79/B, every other match was rated 77/B- or below. Even Nicky Champion vs. Tyson Baine at the PPV only scored 76 and they're the two most over wrestlers on the roster. I'm hoping I get the chance to steal someone big from TCW/SWF soon.

LiquidSwords Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 The roster is the main reason why I can't play as USPW. I mean I get what the promotion stands for and the type of talent they tend to hire. I just don't get how three years can go by and they still don't have anybody that can put on a good match when needed. Natural Storm was a good signing I guess but the rest are bad (Dusty Ducont, Atlas) or not ready (Running Wolf). Petr Novak has his uses because of his menace but he is not young and I doubt he is going to get better in the ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CQI13 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 With Karloff in time decline, I'm thinking of having Novak turn on him and bringing his "cousins" as reinforcements.

kieranforthewin Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I'm doing well, didn't drop to cult and am getting constant B+'s thanks to abusing Sam Strong and Abusing Menace. Roger Cage is now a main eventer and has 73 overness everywhere but 81 in the tri-state. Kind of screwed myself in the Womens Division, Alicia Strong has 70 overness all around the US pretty much. About 20 overness levels higher than all of my other Womens Wrestlers, apart from Belle Bryden whos at 60 pop in the US, but still Alicia has creative control, this is bad. Grooming Joanne Rodriquez up to feud with Alicia Strong. Roger Cage holds the Tag Titles, National and TV Title at once right now, because ultimate god push setting up to World Title reign. Matthew Keith is getting pushed ready to take one of the midcard titles. Peter Valentine sucks. Giant Redwood sucks. I made them a tag team and a stable with Peter Valentine JR(Casey) and called the stable the Heart Breakers. They are feuding with Devine Spirit, Darryl Devine, Running Wolf, and Ant-Man. Dusty Ducont is getting over and I don't want him to. Andre Jones is close to breaking into the Main Event, and at Declaration of Independence when Nicky Champion beats Tyson Baine and blows off the "To Hell And Back" feud, Andre Jones and Champion will begin a feud which will hopefully push Jones into the Main Event slot I've been pushing him into. Champion has 90+ Overness, so this should help Andre alot. Bruce The Giant and Enygma are feuding, and are both gaining overness. TCW are cult. They can only get PPV contracts now( I know at cult you can get writtens, but they dont have that much money so they decide to get PPV contracts which helps me alot. Overall, I don't know how I did anything. My tip is to use Menace like a beast, use Sam Strongs entertainment and overness like a beast, use Nicky Champion because hes your best wrestler and probably most over wrestler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CQI13 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I finally got a favorable draw in USPW (only unwanted wrestlers in time decline, some unwanted wrestlers with their contracts coming up soon...some on both lists)...And TCW scores an 82 and SWF scores an 84 on their first show. Really? Still setting up the storylines I want to run, though the recency of turns seems to switch in each game, which has caused me to come up with several plans, for when I finally do start a game.

CQI13 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 <p>Well, regardless of how the month turns out, I expect to see it through.</p><p> </p><p> Switched match ratio to 40%. As stated above, abusing Strong & Menace angles. And my TV shows look like old ECW on TNN shows where a core group of guys get screen time, with the majority of the roster being used in the pre-show. </p><p> </p><p> If I stay at National, I'll get the B-Show and not make any changes to the PPV events until Alicia takes over.</p><p> </p><p> Went on a hiring spree to get young, good talent, as well as positive influences/relationships - most of the relationships come back to Sam Strong, so when he leaves...</p><p> </p><p> Anyway, Brock Cornish saved Danny Jillefsky's job in my game. I was planning on bringing in Samuel Curran to take over the announcing duties, but when I added Cornish to the team, he and Jillefsky have good chemistry. Curran can take over for the B-show then I guess, if I get one.</p><p> </p><p> I am thinking of bringing in another Superhero type (Powerful Man? Power Girl? Both?) to join El Mitico Jr, but want to bring in some Villains as well, to have a comic book feud in the undercard. Threw Giant Redwood together with Dusty Ducont as a makeshift tag team...and they have GREAT chemistry. Great...won't go anywhere, as I plan on letting Redwood go when his contract expires, due to him being a jerk who is on time decline.</p><p> </p><p> And with the American Everyman Freddie Datsun on time decline, who better to retire him than...that Evil Wall St type - Monty Trescarde!</p><p> </p><p> This is the most fun I've had in a game in a while, with all the "gimmicks" - though none at gimmicky. Maybe I'll even run a Cowboys vs Indians, with Joffy Laine, Tex Tagan, and Outlaw Wes Revell vs Nicky Champion, Running Wolf, and someone else (Roger Monteiro?). It will keep Nicky busy before going back on to chase the title).</p><p> </p><p> **EDIT** My last show before the PPV scored an 83. I have the PPV this Sunday, and my 4th show for January the following week. TCW has their 4th show, and the PPV. I hope I'm able to survive the battle.</p><p> </p><p> In case that I do, what's the best way to introduce the people who are in the undercard? Or is that too soon still after one month?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
